I awoke in an unfamiliar bed, I looked up to me and I saw Mikey sleeping next to me. What the heck happened? I wondered then it all came back to me. I was held at gunpoint by a mysterious man. Then I ran to Mikeys seeking refuge, now I’m here. He must have took me up to a bed so I could sleep. I think I passed out on the floor… I couldn’t stay awake; I ended up drifting off to sleep, Mikey beside me.
I woke an sometime later to find Mikey sitting in a chair watching me sleep. “You finally awake?” he grinned “Yeah” I spat out a halfhearted laugh. “Are you alright now?” Mikey asked looking concerned “You passed out from shock. What even happened to you?” I explained my whole story too Mikey. “I thought so.” He frowned “Gerard has been held at gunpoint too. He’s fine now, but he was pretty freaked out, it happened like a year ago.” “Oh, that sucks. We’ll have to tell the Police right?” I said rubbing my head.
“Yeah of course” Mikey said leaving the room “Get some sleep I’m going to get some food and report this to the police. Gerard is home if you need anything.” I tried to fall back asleep again but it just didn’t work, I kept thinking about Mikey and him sleeping beside me. Could he like me? Is that even possible? Or was he just doing what any human would do in that situation? I eventually passed out again, what waited for me in dream land was not pleasant.
I was standing alone in a mysterious forest but it seemed oddly familiar, it was creepily quiet. I heard an evil laugh and I turned around, nothing. What is this place? I thought to myself. The stench of death fills my nose it’s so over powering I can’t think straight.
I turn around again and their he is standing behind me; the disfigured man with the gun aimed right too my head. “Ah my pretty” He laughs “You’re going to get what’s coming too you.” I hear the sound a gunshot and I let out a scream. “Are you okay?!?” I heard the familiar voice of Mikey “I heard you scream” I open my eyes and survey the room. I’m back in Mikey’s room, there’s no scary forest and no disfigured man.
“I’m fine.” I frown “Just a fucked up dream.” “Here I brought you some food” Mikey offered. “No, no Its okay.” I say apologetically “I’ve already over stayed my welcome.” “No.” He said his voice gentle “Just stay a little while, you tired and hungry.” “Alright” I smile. He sits himself beside me and we eat out food in silence, small talk here and there. “
“I should be getting home now.” I said. “Fine, but I’m going to stay at you house until your mom comes home. Someone needs to watch you.” Mikey laughed. He placed his hand on my forehead. “You’ve got a fever. Someone is going to need to watch you.” uh oh I thought Mikey in my house so many possibilities of things that could do wrong.
I pushed the thoughts past me as Mikey and I walked into the garage and jumped into the beater. Fifteen minutes later we arrived at my house. I slid the key into the lock and the door sprung open. “So what should we do too pass time?” I asked tiredly “Should we watch a movie?” “Sure, why not.” Mikey smiled. Mikey and I agreed on watching the movie Batman, we waited for the return of my mother. Everything seemed peaceful for a couple moments. Like all my problems flew away. I forgot about all the drama with the gun man and forgot about the problems with my dad. Even though it sounds strange; I think life might be looking up for me.
