It had been three days since mike went missing. Three long days, time itself seemed to stretch out making the days longer and Bruno had been getting more tired, tired of the hate , tired of feelings and tired of missing mike.
many had told Bruno that mike probably left and went to live with her aunt.
But she hates her
But everyone insisted, insisted that mike had left her. She hadn't even considered the idea the first day but then when police had questioned mikes dad he had simply said she went
off to live with her aunt.
"Like she always wanted"
He had quoted
she hated her aunt though. She always complained that it smelt like a rotting corpse in her aunts house, that her aunt was difficult to convince when it came to new ideas such as climate change and lgbtq . Bruno just called her a boomer.
Why would she want to live with her
But nobody listened to her and by day two she had tried to believe that mike had went to live with her aunt but it was wrong. Something was wrong.
However by day three people were convinced mike lived with her aunt now, even when Bruno showed texts were mike told her how much she hated her.
They.still.didnt.listen.
Being unlucky like usual, the bullying at school had gradually grown worse people would tell her to accept that mike had left her, with no text,no call not even a goodbye. Hesitantly she had started to believe this fact. Was she really that much of a bad person? Did mike secretly feel that she would have to pity Bruno simply because of her abusive dad? Or did mike just hate Bruno all along.

Easter was believed to bring new beginnings, new hope and new life. She had almost forgot that easter was soon her and mike we're going to watch old horror movies together. Should she be sad? Should she be angry? Should she be happy? Should she be proud?  That mike was probably off studying in that nearby school close to her Aunty's? Should she be angry that her best friend had left with no goodbye after everything they had gone through together Bruno had gotten replaced, thrown away left behind. She had opened up to a person putting aside the fear of  getting attached then getting sad when they left just to get left anyway? In a way it was amusing funny even her mood was sort of like the current weather bittersweet cold and unforgiving sometimes and other times it would be warm and relaxing.

Despite everything Bruno could still only think of one thing. Mike

You left but I'm still standing
