This is probably my last night at Michael's, which I half ruined by spoiling stephen's mood. Tomorrow mom and dad will pick us up and soon I'll get back to my routine. Time passed so fast here.This one week holiday has made me understand the value of parents.
When I enter into the house, the lights of the lounge are off which means Michael is probably asleep. I go on to check Jonah , he's sleeping too. I come into my room and pack my things and Jonah's stuff. Then wear my night dress and lay down on my bed. I stare at the woods, but my mind is lost somewhere in stephen's thoughts. His smile. His voice. His laughter. His anger. His violence. His kiss... I begin to remember the feeling I felt when his lips touched mine in the library when my cell vibrates and shows a text from mom.
"HEY, SWEETHEART. PACK YOURS AND JONAH'S BAGS. WE WILL BE REACHING THERE AT 9 IN THE MORNING. TAKE CARE GOODNIGHT. LOVE YOU."
"SURE, MOM. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU. LOVE YOU TOO."
I hit the send button and keep my phone aside. In minutes, I'm asleep.

The sunlight makes my eyes open wide and I rub them a little to look at the clock when my eyes catch Jonah moving aside the wall curtains.

"God, you just woke me up." I say, my voice still buzzy and heavy.

"That's what morning light is for. To wake people up." He laughs. "You packed my things too?" He asks.

"Yes I did. " I say and hide my face under the pillow.

"Well I think I should tell you that it's 8 already. Mom has called Michael and they'll be coming in an hour." He informs me and I get up.

"Alright. Let me change. " I say and go straight into the bathroom and take a shower. I wear the same black t-shirt I wore when I came here. I brush my hair and slightly curl them in the end. Then step outside the room and go downstairs.

Stephen and Michael are seen sitting on the couch talking about weather.
They look so happy and perfect when they talk like that. I think to myself.

"Hello." I say as I enter in the lounge and take a seat next to stephen. I hope he won't mind this time.

"Hey Alice." Michael smiles and Jonah enters in the lounge and sits next to Michael."I loved the days I spent with you two. You should come often." Michael adds .

"we had a good time too Michael." I tell him with a smile and stephen smiles back at me.

"Breakfast is ready." Nancy calls from the dining room.

"Coming." Jonah shouts and every one stands up.

My dad's car appears an hour later after the breakfast. Him and mom come out and enters in the house.
"Hey man" my dad says while shaking his hand.

"Hey Charlie. How you been?" Michael asks with a smile and Stephen stands up to shake my dad's hand. They exchange the hellos and nice to see yous. When Jonah runs into my mom and I stand up and walk towards my dad. I hug him, "dad. I missed you. "

"Aww honey we missed you too. Give me your bags." I hand him my bags and turn to Michael. It's hard to leave Michael again. He has trusted me and given me importance and he shared his life with me. Nothing can replace it. I just hug him tightly when he says," come more often Alice. "

"I'll miss you. Take care. Okay? " I say.

"Absolutely. " he smiles. And kisses me on the cheek and turns to Jonah.

I move towards stephen. I can't describe his expression. "Can I have a minute? " I asks and he closes the lounge 's door.

Without saying a word I just kiss him. My hands move on his shoulders and then on his back and he pulls me close with my waist. I deepen the kiss by making it hard and he moans. Our mouths apart after 2 or 3 minutes maybe.
"I'll miss you Alice. " his voice thick.

"Promise me you'll write to me. " I say

"Promise me you'll write me back. " he replies and I kiss his lips again.
"Goodbye. " I whisper slowly.

God I don't want to leave him.

"Goodbye Alice. And thanks for giving me my dad back."

"My pleasure." I say and walk out of Michael's lounge. They walk me and Jonah out. We wave our hands to say goodbye . I turn around to look at them one last time. Stephens hand is on his dad's shoulder and they both are smiling at me. Michael says something with the movement of his lips and I can feel it's 'thank you' . I smile back and get in my car. Slowly the distance between. Me and Stephen increases.

Now it's me and Jonah and mom and dad. A perfect family. I now spend time with my dad and tell my mom about my school too. No sorrows, no complains. I'm planning to live a happy life and make most of my everyday. A life that Elizabeth lived. A life that every single person existing on earth should live.

THE END.
