My Roommate

Different

*Elijah*

When I woke up I didn't see Mykie. Did see leave me?...I got worried. I put on my pants and looked around. She wasn't there... I went into the living room, still no sign of her. Then I went to look in the bathroom, she wasn't there either.

While I was thinking of were she could be, I started pacing. Then the door quickly opened and closed. It was Mykie...but she was panting and looked really tired...what happened?...she quickly locked the door and she didn't even look at me.

"What's wrong?"

After a minute of catching her breath she looked me straight in my eye and said, "you don't want to know..."

I was confused and scared that someone did something to her. I went to her and crouched in front of her. I put my hand on her face and tilted her head to look at me.

"What happened?..." I said as I was very concerned.

She made a small smile and hugged me. I picked her up and sat down on the couch. I turned on the tv and let her lay beside me. I rubbed her back to comfort and put my head on top of hers.

She never told me what happened, but I was to scared to know. I didn't ask but I want to know why she left.

"How come you left?..." I said and looked down to see her.

"I had something to do...and something happened...I will tell you about it a different time though..." she said.

"Was it the same person, or thing?"

"Yeah...kind of...it was someone else."

I didn't want to know anymore so I just watched tv with her.

"When I was at the gym I was thinking about telling my friends about us...they wanted me to go out with a girl..." she looked up at me, "but I couldn't...I knew it would hurt you..."

"Really? You did that, for me?..." she said and pointed to herself.

"Yes, that's why I said it." I smiled.

"Thank you...no one has ever said or done something that nice for me..." she said almost crying.

"Well, they didn't deserve you..." I smiled and she leaned closer to kiss me.

And I never felt like this. I thought I loved the girls I was with, and I thought that they were amazing. But no one comes close to Mykie...and I knew her better than most people.

Most people thought she was just a loner, nerd, that was kind of sassy. But she was funny, sweet, and great at so many things. She had to chose between being and artist, musician, architect, or living her dream...she picked architecture, because she needed the money to help support her, and she was good at architect. But she still did art and music sometimes...but she waiting on her dream to come true.

*Mykie*

I was scared about coming to college, but Elijah...he made it easy, and a month easyily flew by. He keeped me distracted from reality...and I thought only My head could do that...he changed me, he made me different. I was still Mykie, but happier.

"You thinking?" He said to me and I cane back to reality.

"Yeah...I zoned out, again...I know..." I said and laid back putting my head on is chest. He was laying on his back on the couch, and I was laying on my back on him.

"I think day dreaming is a good thing."

"You do, huh...I never thought you were like that."

"And I never thought you were, like this..." he said as he moved a hair from my face.
