Robin

The day didn't go quite as well as I expected. Sure I made a new friend that showed me all around town and found me an apartment, but what I didn't expect, is that I would have to deal with a roommate.

A male roommate.

I got all the stuff from my car to my room and sat on the bed that was placed next to the window.

After hours of unpacking and putting up my posters I finally decided to call my brother.

Scrolling through the contacts in my phone, I found the one that said "Elli"
With a couple of emojis after that.

I hesitated before pressing the call button. What if he hated me? What if he tells our parents that I left? Even more 'what if's went through my head until he answered.

"Robbie?" He asked almost right away. I never knew why he called me "Robbie" instead of "Robin" but it was his choice and I was used to it.

My breathe hitched in my throat until I finally croaked out "hi Elli".

"Jesus Christ Robbie where the hell are you? I'm worried sick. No, we are all worried sick. Even What's-her-name is here"

"Liv?" I asked, referring to the girl who stole my boyfriend.

"Yeah her, do you wanna talk to her? She's here next to me" he said.

"No no no" I replied a bit too fast and to cover up I just added "I want to talk to you"

"Oh, well would you like to explain to me why you disappeared out of no where, and why almost all your things are missing including your car?" He said all on one breathe.

"I think the answer to that is pretty obvious Elli" I said in a lower voice than before.

"I know but I don't really want to believe it." He said and there was a long quiet pause.

"will you come back soon?" He said again and I sighed.

"Not soon, maybe not ever. Elli you don't understand, I hate it there, I'll manage on my own. I'm sorry." I said and I heard him repeat what I said to liv, and then I heard a girl crying. liv crying. Why the hell is she crying? She never really cared about me, she had no right to cry over this.

"Elli?" I asked, wondering if he was still there. Moving my phone from my ear m I saw that he was still on the line but no reply came.

"Elli, I know you're there" I said after hearing someone breathing.

"Elli I'm not coming back but I want you to come to me some time, I already miss you too much. Elli you will come visit me, right?" I asked

"Yeah of course" he replied quietly "listen I won't tell mom and dad that you called or else they'd find a way to track you through the call and I'm guessing you don't want that" he added.

"I love you" I said in a way of saying 'thank you'.

"Yeah yeah, I have to go now Robbie, so promise me that you'll call often" he said softly so I did, I promised him that I'd call soon.

Soon after that he hung up.

"So you ran away?" I heard a deep accented voice say from the kitchen.

What the hell?

I walk out from the room I claimed as mine and walked to the open kitchen. In front of me, a teenage boy was drinking my Mountain Dew.

They boy was quite attractive, and tall. His hair was sort of lilac and he had his eyebrow pierced, but I think my favorite feature of his were his lips, They were really freaking pink.

"How long have you been eavesdropping?" I asked, a bit too harshly.

"I've been here since you were singing the songs from Mamma Mia" he said, referring to when I was putting up my posters, a smirk playing on his lips. It was making me want to slap him but instead I blushed brightly.

"Why didn't you come say hi or some thing oh my god" I said quickly and in a squeaky voice, embarrassed that he heard me sing. I was not good at singing and it must have been torture for him.

"I enjoyed listening to your horrible singing" he said and I hit his shoulder playfully.

"Fine then. I'm Robin, you?"

"Batman" he said in such a serious tone I almost believed him but instead I hit his shoulder again and took my Mountain Dew, taking a sip.

"No but really"

"I'm Michael, your roommate" his smiled, and may I add that his smile was adorable.

A couple of hours later, after playing a game of 20 questions (which turned out to be at least 60 because no one really counted), we put in a random movie that Michael had and ordered some pizza, since both of us are too lazy to actually cook something.

Michael and I were like instant Best friends, I really don't know how that happened but it probably had to do with the fact that we had a lot in common.

The movie ended faster than I thought and the four pizza boxes (in which I only finished one) were also done.

The room turned dark as the credits rolled and I saw that Michael fell asleep. It was three in the morning so I didn't really blame him.

He looked cute when he slept but I couldn't stay here staring at him, I was tired too. I put the blanket we used to cuddle with over him and left to take a shower since I smelled like a sewer.

I tried to avoid the mirror when I was in the bathroom but I glanced at myself quickly and frowned. I hated what I saw. If only I was as pretty as griffin, or Liv, or my mum. Tears started to roll down my face as I continued staring at myself. Everything in me was horrible. I looked away and stepped in the shower, the water wiping my tears away.

When I got out I braided my hair and fell asleep.
