"Honey, wake up. You need to get ready for school" mum said tapping me. I groaned but stood up anyways. I'm having my final papers today and I'm so tired. I didn't get enough sleep. I feel like shit. I went to shower and get ready. I wore black t-shirt and black jeans with my black booth.
"Morning mum and Kevin" I greeted when I got downstairs. I didn't know Kevin was around.
"Morning" they greeted simultaneously. I went to get myself a large cup of coffee before eating breakfast which is yesterday's pizza. I wore my leather jacket, took my bike keys and left the house after saying goodbye to mum and Kevin.
The cold breeze woke me up as it hit my face as I drove to school. The two large coffees I drank is kicking in and working with the cold breeze because I am fully awake now.
I saw the guys by their bikes when I drove into the school parking lot, they looked like shit. The whole school looks like shit, I guess that happens during exams.
"Morning guys" I greeted when I got to them.
"Why are you so awake?" Mike asked after kissing me.
"2 cups of coffee and the cold breeze hitting my face" I replied.
"That would do it" Peter said. We all went into the school to write our exam. I am happy because of the holiday, it might not be long but it's holiday.
"Good luck!" Lou shouted as we went into our different classes to write our papers.
The exam was actually not bad. I hate exams because they are exams but this one wasn't bad. I guess the readings did pay off. I was the last to leave the class because I wanted to.
"How was it?" Mike asked when I came out. He was waiting by the door.
"Ok, yours?" I asked.
"I nailed it" He shouted and I laughed.
We both went to look for the other guys, when we found them, we all hung out on the roof of the school even though the weather was cold.
"The house?" Lou asked after the school bell rung.
"Yes" Peter answered and we left.
I ordered pizza when we got to the house, so we all sat in the living room and watched Deadpool except for Mike who had been in the room since we got back. I went inside to look for him and saw him sitting on the bed with his phone. Wonder who is texting.
"You been here since, what's up?" I asked and went to sit on the bed with him.
"Nothing, just texting" he answered not looking up.
"You can do that in the living room" I told him.
"OK, let me quickly use the bathroom" he said before standing up and walking to the bathroom with his phone.
"Drop the phone" I said sternly and he threw it on the bed.
He was in the bathroom when his phone kept pinging signaling he had a message. The name on the text said Sarah. Why does that name sound so familiar.
Wait, that's the name he called me when I first sent him a text, he asked if I was Sarah. Now I want to know who this Sarah is. Just then the girl called and I picked up.
"Why aren't you replying me, is Elly there with you? I miss you Mike. Don't you miss me, the times we spent together in your room? Don't you miss the kiss we shared yesterday.. I know I miss it. Is it because of Elly, you don't have to tell her. Hello... Mike? You there? Helloo... " the Sarah girl just kept talking and I hung up the phone. What the hell.
Mike came out of the bathroom and went to his phone, I'm sure he saw that I picked up his call because he looked at me.
"Fuck" I heard him whisper to himself. He pulled his hair back with his hands and walked towards me. I raised my hands up to stop him and took a step back.
"It's not what you think" he said. I just stared at him.
"Talk to me, Elly" he said again.
"Why does my chest hurt?" was all I could say.
"I'm sorry" Mike said.
"For kissing her?" I asked. He was about to talk when I stopped him and left the house going home. Mum wasn't home yet and that's OK, I need time to myself. I went to my room and brought out my alcohol stash.
I don't know how long I've been drinking, it doesn't seem that long. I sent a text to Jason telling him to get me more drinks. I don't want to finish the one I have. The door bell dinged and I knew it was Jason, I wasn't expecting anyone else. Mike called a million times but I didn't answer. I opened the door and saw Mike there instead of Jason and I quickly shut the door using the key and I went upstairs.
Mike opened the door to my room and entered. How the hell did he get in? I gave him a key incase of emergency, the guys did the same too. We all have keys to each of us house. I'm regretting that now.
"What do you want Mike?" I asked.
"Jason called me and told me to bring this for you and I also want to talk" he answered handing a bottle over to me.
"I don't want to talk" I told him truthfully opening the bottle and taking a big gulp out of it.
I sat by the bed with my head on my knees bending down.
"You hurt me, Mike" I said suddenly without looking up.
"I am so sorry" he said and I looked up at him which was a mistake as I felt my bead spin. I'm going to throw up. I ran to the bathroom, sat on the floor and started throwing up into the toilet. Mike came in and held my hair for me as I kept throwing up.
"I should go" Mike said after I had stopped throwing up.
"You can stay the night" I told him and threw up again. We sat in the toilet for a while just looking at each other. I flushed the toilet, washed my face and went to the room after I felt better. I went to bed and slept. Mike slept on the floor.
I woke up and checked the time, it was 7pm. I couldn't sleep back so I went to the roof of the house to lay down and gather my thoughts. I tried not to wake Mike up as I opened the window and stepped out. I hadn't sat down for long when Mike came to lay down beside me.
"I want you to know I'm truly sorry" He said after we had sat there for a while.
"I know" I answered.
"I didn't kiss her back" he said.
"I know" I told him. I felt him look at me. "I trust you" I explained to him and he nodded.
"I was sad that you didn't tell me about Susan and part of me thought it's because you like her and when she said you guys kissed, it hurt a whole lot more than I expected especially when that was who you thought I was when I first sent you that text when we first met but I trust you and I know that you wouldn't hurt me on purpose and so I believe you" I told him. I do trust him.
He sat up and I did too and he moved forward and kissed me. I didn't kiss back at first and when he was about to pull away, I held his neck and kissed him back.
"I love you" he said when we pulled away.
"I love you too" when I said that, he visibly relaxed and we both sat down there in each other's arms just staring into the night.
I woke up and sat up with Mike holding my waist.
"Morning" he greeted.
"Morning" I answered kissed him I went downstairs to find Mum and the guys mum in the kitchen planning something quietly among themselves. I went back to my room quietly and woke Mike up.
"Your mum is in the kitchen" I said when he woke up.
"What?" he said and went downstairs.
Mike and I are in the sitting room with mum and Kevin. Lou and Jake are in the kitchen looking for food while a Peter is on his phone playing game. The guys came over early this morning to find out why I left the house yesterday without saying goodbye.
"Elly, can you and the boys do me a favor?" mum said looking at me.
"Yes" I answered.
"I want to buy a new dining table, this one is old and out of style but I cannot go to Ikea myself because I have to go and meet up with the boys parents... "
"Why?" I caught her off.
"I just have to" she said.
"You are hiding something" I said looking at her pointedly.
"No, I'm not" she said.
"The guys mum were here thus morning so why do you have to go meet up with them again" I said. Peter and Jake looked at me.
"Mum was here?" Peter said. I nodded.
"She told me she was going to buy groceries" he said and looked at my mum.
"Mine told me she wanted to go buy coffee" Jake said.
"When I called you this morning, you told me you were going to buy groceries" Kevin said. We were all staring at mum now.
"Fine, but I would tell you after you go to Ikea" mum said and left the house to go meet the other mums.
The guys and I left to go to Ikea leaving Kevin at home alone. At Ikea, Mike went to get the big trolley and I stood on it while Mike pushed to the dining table aisle.
We got the table after lots of arguments about which one is finer and better. We later decided on one and went home. At home, the mums were waiting for us at the sitting room. They told us to set the table first before telling us what they are planning.
"You are on spring break and we were planning to go the woods for a few days together, as in everyone even the dads are coming. We have rented a cabin and an RV. What do you think?" Lizzy, Mike's mum said.
"That sound like fun" I said smiling.
"So much fun" Peter said smiling too.
"You could have told us and we would plan with you" Lou said and we all nodded.
"We thought you wouldn't like it and we're ready to force you along" mum said smiling sweetly. Thank God we like the plan. I love the woods and I'm happy we are going. It's going to be so much fun.
