•• Michael's POV ••
Id been in bed, next to India but could I get to sleep, of course I couldn't.
What do I feel? Nothing. Maybe a bit of guilt, I shouldn't treat Maisy like a child but I can't trust her. When we lives back in Australia I remember we were at the corner shop and I didn't have any money on me but I was really hungry so I stole some food. When we got back to my house we went into the kitchen and Maisy just stayed silent, until when my mum started to speak she blurted out what I did.
I can't risk her telling this secret. This one is much much bigger. That's why I can't let her talk to Ella, she might spill our secret, oh just imagine that
"Hi Maisy how ar-"
"WE ROBBED A BANK OK"
I wasn't going to let that happen, I just couldnt. I can't kill her, id never kill her. Could I? No Michael stop thinking like that, you are not a psychopath.
That's another thing that's keeping me awake. Family. I haven't spoken to them in about...what is it now, 8 months? 9? I could write them a letter but they'd be able to trace our address and besides there's probably not a postbox in this shithole.
We could go back home for a few days?
Would it be worth it? Risking all our hard work just to see family?
•• Maisy's POV ••
"Thankyou Ash"
"For what?" He says trying to sort out his hair.
"Making me feel happy again, well, as happy as someone living like this can get"
"The pleasures all mine, I can't have you being all sad now can I?"
"Michael doesn't seem to care"
"Who gives a fuck about him"
"Well he is giving us a place to live"
"I think you're forgetting that we robbed a bank Maisy, we have all the money in the world"
"Yeah bu-"
"But what? What's stopping us Maisy, we could run away, get ourselves our own place, we wouldn't have to worry about being seen talking to people, what time we get home or where we've been"
"But what about Ella? I can't just leave without an explanation?"
"Then we won't move far away, you can come and visit"
"She's the only friend I have apart from you 3"
"I'm not just a friend though Maisy, am I?"
"You know what I mean" I say giggling
"Fine, so we won't move away, just a 'get away weekend' or something"
"I guess"
"Sorted then, let's get back and I can book it"
"Wait, what are you going to tell Michael?"
"Who said he has to know?, I bet he has loads of stuff he's hiding from us?"
"Like what?"
"For all we know he could be gay"
"I doubt that have you heard him at India at night? Wow, 3 hours straight the other night, I don't know how they do it"
"Ew don't make me think about that shit"
"Come on let's get home, he might be 'worrying' about us" I say laughing and grabbing Ashton's hand.
