Live A Little m.c.

Ryo Baker- Age 19

7:30am, Friday morning, Washinton, USA

"I'm gonna miss you mum," I smiled sadly. Her mouth curled up just a bit from the accent you could still hear in my voice.

"I'm gonna miss you too baby girl," she hugged me tighly, "now go, you're gonna miss the plane."

I smiled sadly at my mother and walked away.

16 Hours Later

I walked into the small apartment my mum had helped me pick out online and set my bags down. Aside from where i'm living, I have literally no idea what im gonna do. I may enroll in university, or just get a job. But my main priority is finding Michael.

Next Day

I walked up the familiar steps, remembering every single race up to the house, playing in the mud after the rain, laying on the roof at night watching the stars, all with my best friend. Suddenly the door creaked open, and I looked up to find Mikey's mum.

"Karen," I said in disbelief. She had aged, but not as much as I expected. Mike can be a handful. But she was still the same Karen, still the same second mother I had missed so much.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" She said in the sweetest way possible.

My smile faltered.  She... she didnt remember me. I-i dont understand.

"Mrs. Clifford, its me. Its Ryo," I tried to remind her, almost pleading.

"I dont think-" recognition lit up her face. Her hand shot up to cover her mouth. "Ryo! Oh my lord you're home. Michael!"

My heart was in my throat as I stood on the steps waiting for him to come down. I hadnt seen him in years, what if he hated me now? What if he had new friends and didnt need me?

"Hey mum, who's this?" He said politely. I looked at him and grinned.

His hair was the color mine had been when I left

"Mike, guess whos home," his mom said knowingly.

"Your long lost daughter," he joked, "hi, I'm Michael. What's your name?"

I giggled, "im Ryo, you dork. I came home."

Michael's eyes widened before he ran towards me to spin me around in a bone crushing hug.

"I missed you so much," he said quietly. I wrapped my thin arms around him and smiled.

"I missed you more Mikers"
