1.4 I need her back

Sorry it's kinda late, I'm watching Saturday night live(:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee. I slowly lifted my head, as it felt like it was going to explode. There were so many thoughts running through my head and it began to throb. I walked out of Lexi's room and into the kitchen where I found her mom cooking and her dad sitting at the counter reading the paper.

"Good morning sweetheart." Her mother sang out. I have known Lexi for years. Her house and family were like my second home and family.

"Good morning."

"Would you like something to eat?" She asked.

I looked at the clock it was 10:30 and I hadn't seen Lexi yet. "Do you know where Lexi is?"

"Yes darling, she went to pick up you're boyfriend at the airport, he called this morning and she didn't want to wake you so she went to get him."

"Thank you." I smiled at her as she placed a plate of food in front of me. I began to devour it, realizing I hadn't really had food in the past 12 hours. I sat there for a minute looking through Twitter. I saw things like:

Michael left his home in Australia in a rush last night.

Took a flight to Florida.

Why is he going there?

Is he going to be with Chelsea?

I hope she's okay.

I hope they get back together.

There where negative things too like people saying he should forget me and leave me, honestly at this point he should I'm just a fucked up mess. Sooner or later he will realize I'm no good for him.

I heard the door unlock and my heart dropped to my stomach were it felt like a heard of elephants had made their new home. I stood up and looked around the corner and saw my bright headed boy walk in the door.

I couldn't help but smile as he walked to me and wrapped his arms around me. I took in his scent- hair spray, deodorant and cologne. I couldn't help but feel at home in his arms. He made me feel safe, I hadn't felt safe since I had left his comfort.

I couldn't help but let the tears I had been holding in fall from my eyes. "Hey, no don't cry. Come on, chin up." He said as he kissed my forehead and pulled me back into his arms holding me tighter and rubbing my back.

"The-th-they took her away Mikey and she was the on-only thing keeping me grounded and I don't know what to d-do." I managed to stutter out between sobs.

"Look at me-" he began as he pulled my face into his hands and made me look into his eyes. "We're going to get her back, if it's the last thing we do." He said wiping a tear from under my eye. All I could do was nodded as he pulled me back into a hug.

By noon Michael and I had ended up at small café downtown. "You've been really quiet." Michael said breaking the silence. It was quiet the whole car ride here, I hadn't talked to him and the whole time we've been sitting down I haven't said a word. "Where can we start?" He asked.

"I thought I should ask my dad if he could help."

"I think that's a good idea." He smiled a reassuring smile at me as I pulled out my phone and found my dads number.

"Hello." His deep voice boomed through the small speaker.

"Hey dad, do you have a minute to talk?"

"Yes sweetheart what's wrong?"

"It's mom, she's-"

"Chelsea you know that I can't do anything about your mother." He interrupted me.
