Bash

~7~

I could tell that there was a hint of nervousness and amusement in his voice. "I don't actually, if you don't mind me cuddling you at night. I'm use to cuddling a pillow."

I giggled soft and felt his hand comb through my hair. His fingers got tangled because of how much hair spray I had in my hair. "God how many cans of hairspray is in your hair?"

"At this point in time I don't know." I giggled more smiling and cuddling him soft. He cuddled back and didn't hesitate to rest his head on my head. I closed my eyes staying close to him I felt safe and at home with him. I could relax knowing he'll protect me.

Mikey:

I watched her fall asleep in my arms, not to sound creepy or anything. She was sleeping in my bed and in my arms. She was warm and soft.. Okay i am sounding creepy. I should just got to sleep, if she's moving in tomorrow I should rest up. I closed my eyes letting her rest on my chest. It was a good night to have.

Christmas Day 10:30 am

I woke up in my bed alone. I freaked out jumping out of bed to look for her bags, I saw them in the corner still. I sighed in relief that she was still here, but then I looked around wondering where she was. Then I heard her sweet voice from the bathroom, she was singing a song we use to play at the garage. English Love Affair.. I was wondering how she still remember the lyrics. I also let my curiosity get the best of me and I pictured her naked in my shower. I walked away fast realized I felt something rise a bit. I'll go and make her breakfast quickly and hopefully it will go down.

About 15 minutes later she came out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped in a towel. She looked so adorable. I blushed realizing she was looking at me and smiling. She let her long red hair down letting it curl up. She came over and gave me a side only to try and steal my bacon I made for breakfast. I picked her up in my arms and heard her giggle. I held her there for a minute, she look so cute with her hair starting to curl.

"Mikey can I get down please?" She had a smile on her face.

"You going to steal my bacon again?"

"Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not. It's only one piece of bacon anyways. What's the big deal?"

"The big deal is I slaved over a hot stove to make this bacon!"

"Mmm my breakfast hero!" she kissed my cheek and I let her go smiling.

"Fine you win this time, but getting the bacon won't be as easy next time."

She stuck her tongue out at me and I smirked. Feeding her a piece of bacon, she smiled enjoying it. Then the awkward question time had to come up. "So when do you want to go over to your moms house?"

She looked up at me with a hairbrush in her hands. "Whenever you can go. I don't want to inconvenience you sense I don't have a car yet."

"You're not inconvenience to me, I'm just asking when you want to go."

"Whenever is fine." She smiled nervously, knowing her she must be screaming on the inside not wanting to go. "If you don't want to go just tell me what to get from your place."

"No I want to go, I want to see how bad she has gotten. I really do."

"If you say so, I'll go call Calum with the truck then."

"Okay, thank you Michael." She smiles at me and walks to go to her bags. I think she was looking for her computer or her phone charger. One of the two, anyways I called up Calum and he said meet us up there. "Alright we are set to go!"

She grabbed her phone and keys smiling. "Alrighty, let us go see the mess."

She walked out of the small house to my car. She waited for me to get into the car, so I walked out of the house fast and locked up. I got in and so did she, I looked at her and smiled soft. "June if it's too much just say and I'll help you out a bit."

She nodded and I drive away from our little house. It was weird to think I was gonna have June in my house living with me.

It only took us 5 minutes from my house to get to her old house. The place just looked trashed, I'm shocked it stays up like this. I stopped the car and she got out. I followed her seeing Calum's truck pull up. He nodded knowing he'd stay out there, I followed her to the house. I was nervous for her, she stood at the front door. "Give me the keys if you're scared.."

She gave me the keys staying quiet. She was scared, she was scared to see her mother. I opened the door for her, I looked around and the inside looked nothing like the outside! The living room had a small couch, a table, and a flat screen tv. Nothing looked out of place, nothing smelt bad, the house was in perfect condition! "Wow.... This.."

She stopped talking after looking around. I hope this isn't changing her mind, I really wanted her to stay with me. "Mikey can I have my keys, I want to unlock my room."

I gave her the keys, and she walked to her room. Only to see her mother got in and completely trashed her room. There was bags of drugs in her closet, dresser, and in her bed. She sighed and went upstairs to her mom's room and saw the same. "She still hasn't changed."

"June?"

A woman's voice was behind me. That must have been her mother, she looked like a wreck. She looks like she hasn't slept for days. "June! You are home! Oh that's fantastic, you can pay for everything again!"

Her mother tried to give her a hug but June pushed her away broken. "How dare you try and hug me... I'm not your daughter.."

"June Rose Williams! How could you fucking disrespect your mother!"

"Because you were never my mother, you were always some monster looking for attention and drugs, congrats you just lost someone important in your life."

June's mother didn't take it to well, she got up into June's face and slapped her. June wasn't expecting it, it happened fast, she fell onto the floor holding her cheek scared. Her mother hasn't noticed me till now. She had rage in her eyes and pushed me down hard. I hit my head against a wall, it made me sick.

Rubbing the back of my head I couldn't do much other than watching June get beaten on. No, this isn't what I thought it would be like! Then I heard the door slam open, it was Calum. He saw me go down somehow and ran into the house. He pinned her mother to a wall to stop her from beating on June.

I got up to check on her, when I did she started coughing. Her mom might have hit her in the lungs and ribs a bunch of times. I hate myself for doing this to June.. I held my hand out to her to help her up. She pushed my hand away getting up on her own. "June.. I'm sorry."

She quickly hugged me then whispered into my ear. "Don't be, it's not your fault. You tried to help me and you are by saving me from this place."

She looked at me with her blue eyes. All I could do was smile soft and let her go to let her gather her things. Her mother was in tears still pinned to the wall by Calum. "Dude you should let her go, she's shaken up."

Calum let her down to the ground gently making sure she wasn't hurt. I went to watch June grab little things from her room. God it smelt bad, her mother was worse then my dad. Her mother beat her for any reason, my dad only best me if I smarted off or looked like mom a bit.

June came back with a suitcase with clothing and things. Then a purse with hidden pockets. "I hope you enjoy your life alone mother... you deserved everything that has happen to you."

June looked so emotionless, she walked away and went to the car. She placed her things in the car and asked Calum to carry a couple things to the truck. I helped out and saw what we were getting. She had a stash of games and a stereo system. She was hiding it all from her mother, it was amazing what she had. Her mother was shocked as well. I didn't think that she would keep that kind of stuff there, but all I knew it was coming to my house to stay with me. She was going to live with me after all, my dreams are coming true. She's in my life for a bit. That's all I ever wanted, I loved June and I always will love her..
