Only The Young

Chapter 2

 

Mikey P.O.V

I carried Parisa downstairs and threw her, gently, onto the sofa. She laughed. She’s so adorable. I sat by her feet and smiled at her. She smiled back.

“P, do you think Charlie’s been kinda down recently?” I asked her. After a few minutes she calmed herself down.

“Yeah, a little.” She finally replied, “He hasn’t really spoken much in the last few weeks.”

“Yeah,” I replied, “you don’t think it’s because of us do you?”

“No… Maybe he just feels a bit lonely…” maybe she’s right, maybe he does feel lonely.

“Maybe… But he has Betsy and it’s not like we’ve been ignoring him, we’re all still best friends.” She smiled when I said this.

“Yeah, of course we are.” She replied. She sat up and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. “I’m tired, we should probably go to bed.”

“Yeah, c’mon.” We both got up and made our way upstairs.

Parisa P.O.V

Mikey and I walked into my room expecting to find Betsy in bed but she wasn’t.

“I wonder where she is.” I gestured towards Betsy’s bed.

“Hang on,” Mikey said, “I’ll be back in a minute.” He walked out, clearly heading towards his and Charlie’s room. I quickly got changed and a few minutes later Mikey walked back in, he had a confused look on his face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Well, I went to see if Betsy was in my room with Charlie.” He replied, “Neither of them were, but then I looked outside and they’re sat in the garden having what looked like a serious conversation.”

“Oh.” Was all I could say. I wondered what they were talking about for a few minutes but then I shrugged it off. They’d probably tell us when they got back in later.

“Night P.” Mikey kissed my cheek and walked over to the door, “Love you.”

“Love you too.” I replied, I probably had the biggest smile on my face ever. He smiled too and then left the room, turning the light off and closing the door.
