Chapter nine: Make you stay.
--------------------------------
Miles pov
I think it's been one- no. Two weeks, since Y/n had that.. encounter? It's not like we had sex or anything but I definitely didn't expect to make out on her bed until Flora came banging on her door complaining about a nightmare, while Y/n forced me to hide under her damn bed on the cold floor for half an hour while she made sure Flora went to sleep and didn't bother us again. I was kinda glad we got interrupted if I'm being honest. Even though Y/n pounced on me like a lion to a gazelle, she seemed pretty nervous whenever I kissed her too hard or if I touched her leg. Believe it or not things have been even more awkward than before when we were constantly nipping at each other and now I'm starting to miss the fighting more than the dry tension in the room.
Anyways, I've got about fourteen days to make things less awkward and for her to stay with us for the summer. I heard her talking on the phone a few days back, thinking about taking up a different job in California. Her teacher recommended it or some shit, get into a better college. She's not going to Harvard I know that for sure.
Something that's been pissing me off is that Quint has been messing with her head so now she sleeps with the door off and the lamp lights on. I asked him to lay off but it's not doing much. I've been trying to sneak in to make sure he's not fucking with her in her sleep or anything. She's only sixteen like me after all, he shouldn't be messing with kids our age, especially the ones I want to stay.
Uhm, another thing is that I've been out of it for a day or two. Like my throat is pretty dry and I've had a wicked headache. I swear to god if I wake up tomorrow with a cold I'm gonna be pissed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your pov
It's been about two weeks since Miles and I had that half-assed hookup. Ever since then it's been so awkward. We can't even speak to each other now for more than two sentences before getting freaked out and forgetting what we were talking about. I mean, it's easier to focus on Flora and her work, but at the same time it's boring without being able to pick a fight with Miles. I miss our back and forth bickering because at least it kept us talking and occupied. I have fifteen days before I go back home for the summer, I really wanted to stay but I've gotten more job offerings in new places and I want to go out and explore. Plus, spending the summer in some creepy ass house, with a boy who can't even be in the same room as me for five minutes doesn't seem like the ideal summer. I feel bad for leaving Flora, and I guess Miles because they are all alone with Ms. Grose, who is lucky if she can live another four years. But I need to put myself first, that's what's important. I just wish Miles would talk to me before I leave, because even though we snap at each other, he's been growing on me. I'm not saying I like his stuck up asshole personality but I see how he is with Flora and I sometimes wish he could be able to open up to me like that.
This morning I woke up to the sound of projectile vomiting. I figured it was coming from Flora's room since she ate a lot of chocolate last night. I ran to her room to check on her to find her still asleep in her bed. Then I realized that the puking and groaning was coming from Miles room. I debated on leaving him there to take care of himself since he thinks he's grown and can take care of himself but then I remembered the time I was drunk. The way he drove me home at 2am and stayed outside my door all night in case I felt sick again. I walked into his room and knocked on his closed bathroom door.
"Miles, it's just me. I'm gonna come in okay?" I say as I hear him groan and spit into the toilet. I open the door to see his face almost glued to the toilet bowl, gasping and throwing up. I sit next to him and rub his back, grabbing a few sheets of toilet paper so he can wipe his mouth when he's done. "Get it all out, that's it.." I whisper to him as he continues to gag.
When he finishes he grabs the toilet paper from my hand and wipes his mouth, flushing the toilet. I let him sit on the floor with his back pressed against the wall for a moment as I grab a washcloth, drenching it in cold water. I put it on the back of his neck as he tries to stand up. He walks over to me where I'm putting toothpaste on his toothbrush and handing it to him.
"Make sure to brush your tongue too." I put the cap back on his toothpaste. "I'm gonna get you a new shirt, there's a little bit of puke on it." I point to the spot on his shirt. I walk out of his room and open his closet, looking for an old shirt in the piles on the floor. Miles walks back into the room and curls up on his mattress with his washcloth in his hands. I didn't even realize he came back into the room until he spoke up and groaned.
"Jesus it's fucking freezing in here.." I turned around to see him shirtless, breathing heavily and laying down. I grab a random green shirt and walk over to his mattress.
"No Miles, sit up you have to let your stomach settle for a bit." I prop his pillows against the wall and help him sit up a bit. I let him put his new shirt on and pulled the covers up to his waist. I felt his forehead and winced at his temperature. "Miles, you're really hot." I sighed and bit my bottom lip trying to think of how to take care of him.
He let out a chuckle and wrapped a hand over his stomach. "I'm hot? Thanks.." I frown at him since this isn't something to be joking about. "Not funny." I say with pursed lips and put the washcloth on his forehead.
"I'm gonna go to the store to get you some medicine. Flora used it the last time she was sick. Do you want me to pick you up something?" I put my hands on my hips and waited for his response.
He sat there for a second to think, "Am I even allowed to eat anything? Like I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to eat when you're sick." He tilted his head, squinting his eyes.
"You're allowed to eat Miles but only if you feel up for it. I can pick you up some grits, or popsicles? Do you sound up for that when you get your appetite back?" I rub the back of my neck, giving him a sympathetic look.
"I'm not hungry..I-I don't care okay? I'll be fine by tomorrow." He shakes his head and waves his hand in the air.
"Okay, well I'm still going to the store because I'm not putting up with your whining later. I'll be back in an hour okay?" I shrug and ruffle his hair lightly before trying to smack my hands away.
I brush my teeth, grab my keys and put on some slippers. I head out to the car to start for the store.
--------------------------------
Miles pov
She couldn't have taken any fucking longer to get back from the store could she? I'm sitting in my bed, trying my best for an hour to hold my stomach until she comes back but it's getting too painful. I ran to the bathroom throwing up nothing but stomach acid. I was panting and almost crying from the pain, it felt like my stomach was twisting. Y/n hears me gagging and rushes into the bathroom to rub my back and hold back my hair. When I'm done, there's tears in my eyes from the pain and she gives me this stupid sad look like she feels sorry for me or some dumb shit. I sit on my bathroom counter as she hands me my toothbrush again. She opens up a small can of Gingerale and puts it on my nightstand.
"You don't have to drink it now, but if your stomach feels funny again try some. It works trust me." She smiles and feels my forehead again to see if my fever had gone down a little. I sit there under the covers with my head against the wall as Y/n sits at the end of my mattress reading a book.
"What's that?" I say weakly, motioning to the book. I catch her attention and she smiles. "A book?" She giggles trying to be funny or something.
"Yeah, no shit." I chuckle and she gives me an unamused look. So apparently I'm not allowed to be funny anymore I guess. "What's it about?"
"It's about a prince trying to find his princess through a dream. It's really cute." She gets up to sit next to me on the mattress, showing me the blurb.
"Oh.. fantasy?" I mutter out as a question.
"Yeah, I like fantasy. You don't?" She tilts her head to look at me, tabbing her book before closing it. I shrug, "I mean, it's not bad but I just can't ever get into it."
"Well maybe that's because you haven't read a good one." She smirks, and for a second I feel like we aren't talking about books. I shook my head and stayed silent for a few minutes.
"You know, I usually get sick in the summer." I give her a side glance. I lied, I never get sick. This was the first time in probably a year and a half I've gotten sick. "I mean, who's gonna get me a cold washcloth and rub my back when I'm throwing up?" I smirk at her slightly.
"Ms. Grose?" She jokes and I roll my eyes.
"Be serious Y/n. She's so old I think she's gonna kick the bucket any day now. And when she does that, who's gonna help me take care of Flora? I don't have any parents you know." I sit up more and turn to face her, putting my hands in my lap.
She sighs and turns to face me. "Who said I was leaving?" She gives me a confused look.
"Y/n I heard you on the phone. I mean California seems nice, but is that what you really want?" I give her a dead eyed look and raise a brow.
She studies my face letting out a deep breath, "Miles, you don't even like having me around. We fight all the time, why do you want me around?" She shakes her head and leans back a little bit.
"Come on, Flora will miss you. She'll be upset that you aren't coming back. I mean she really loves you, fuck, she wants you to be her mother! She needs you, Y/n- I-I need you okay? I can't even take care of myself while I'm sick and you expect me to take care of myself, a whole property and a little girl? I mean, jesus, what do I have to do to make you stay?" I spurt out quickly, motioning my hands everywhere with dramatic tones.
She smiles for a moment and grabs my hand, "You just did." She gives me a sincere look, like we finally came to an agreement. I let out a relieved sigh I didn't even know I was holding and she giggled. "Why do we fight so much? Everything would be so much easier if we just listened to each other, you know?" She asks even though she sounds like she already knows her own reason.
"I think you know why I do it.." I look at my red candles I caught her staring at one day in particular when she first came into my room.
She looked at the candles then back at my eyes. "Because you don't know how to treat people?" She barely whispered out. She looked into my eyes for a moment before speaking once more. "I only pick fights with you cause I think you're kinda cute." She admits, leaning back again.
I raise a brow, "You think I'm cute?" I chuckle and she let's go of my hand, she's trying to bite back a smile.
"Yeah, you're cute. So what?" She smirks and we stare at each other. I think we were both waiting for one of us to do something, anything. But no one moved or spoke. After a moment of my silence she got up and put the covers back over my waist. "You should get some rest, it's not good to stay up when you're delirious." She gave me a dejected look and turned off my lamp.
"I'm not delirious." I grab her wrist gently and assure her.
"You're sick, Miles." She gives me a stern tone, and eyes me down to let go of her wrist.
"I know what I'm saying, Y/n." I gulp and give her the smallest smile I could muster and let go of her wrist, laying back into the pillows. She slides a hand on my forehead and it goes into my curls. She kissed my forehead and walked to the door.
"Get some sleep, call me if you need anything okay?" She gave me a sad smile and walked out of the room.
Now she was just confusing me because did she just reject me without either of us talking about dating? I don't think I asked her out but I think I wanted to. I want to I really do, but how the hell am I supposed to do that when she can't take me seriously? I better get over this damn sickness soon.

Since y'all love being angsty about the switch, let us have some fun with it.
Getting fired from the Port Mafia would mean going back to the Agency, right? Well, then let's just be the most annoying one can be until Mori's hair falls out!
Lots of pranks, promise.

"The Switch"
Season 1 Episode 4: “The Switch”
___________________________________________________________
“The rookies are temporarily paired with new training officers: when Nolan and Lopez track down an escaped criminal, the discover a little kindness goes a long way.  Jackson is forced to face his fears when he is partnered with Officer Bradford and Officer Chen and Nolan must face a hard truth”
Original Air Date: November 13th, 2018
Written By: Vincent Angell
Directed By: Toa Fraser
Tumblr media
____________________________________________________________
Another new episode, another cold open led by John and Talia. It would be Talia if she wasn’t spitting official police codes and their meaning at John.  Action is only one aspect of being a cop, as we forget there is the paperwork side to also being a cop and Talia does not let John forget that.  He is in his training days as a rookie police officer and that also means learning every single thing there is to being a cop including all of the penal codes!  I like that Talia is always quizzing and grilling John!
We enter the roll call room with all of our favorites!  We learn that the rookies are at the point in their training where they switch their T.O’s for a few days.  John gets paired with Angela, Jackson with Tim and Lucy with Talia.  As mentioned by Angela later in the episode, this is done on purpose.  The rookies can’t learn only one way how to be a cop.  And as we’ve seen already, Tim, Angela and Talia all have different teaching methods and police procedurals.  They were getting too comfortable with their normal T.O.’s, hence a switch-up! A glaring visible reaction we see is from Talia and Lucy when Grey announces they are going to be together for these next 2 days and its for the most obvious reason: Talia knows. How are these next 2 days going to be for Lucy? I guess we'll find out!
John and Lucy’s relationship has been a main focus for these first few episodes of this series and very heavily focused on this episode.  I don’t know how television works, but I want to assume that maybe the reaction towards this relationship was not a positive one and the writers/creators of “The Rookie” picked up on it and decided to end them before they could really even start? Or I could be completely wrong and this was their trajectory for this relationship the entire time?  
I am truly so sorry for my words that I spoke regarding my feelings on them because as of episode 4, I no longer feel the same way.  I have no defense to take on this matter! It is hard to root for John and Lucy as a couple  The older you are, age gaps in relationships don’t really matter, but in John and Lucy’s, it does, because their age gap doesn’t work.  To me, and I am assuming a lot of other viewers, the age gap reflects one as of a creepy uncle and his younger niece, not one of love between two grown adults.  
At the end of the episode, we finally get to the John and Lucy of it all.  When John confronts Talia to tell her to back off from his personal relationship, she quickly turns it around and for lack of better words shoves it back into Johns face.  John is all talk- he says he cares for Lucy and wants to be with her, but Talia is right.  If John truly cares for Lucy like he says he does then why is he letting her potentially ruin her career; the second word spreads that Lucy and John are dating, it will not only put a Scarlett letter on her uniform but it will also end her barely begun career as a police officer, but for John, barely a scratch on him and he will basically get off scotch free.  John knows that Lucy deserves and wants to be a cop as much as he does so why would he do that to her.  
Lucy comes to see John, clearly upset and distraught.  Lucy, who has been struggling with this decision to end things for weeks, is taken aback when John so very nonchalantly, at least to her, ends things first before she can end it with him.  John says its because he doesn’t want to be the reason why she fails out of training, which Lucy takes offense to as she should because that reasoning alone is John protecting his self.  You can clearly see the pain that is written all over Lucy’s face and how this has been an inner turmoil for her for weeks and it makes all of it kind of really sad.  As much as we don’t like her and John together, she actually felt something for him and it’s killing her to end things with him.
I think it’s safe to say that John and Lucy were exactly who each other needed while in the Academy, but now as they are in their training days, their so called relationship is crumbling, and fast.  Their relationship has shifted and they are trying so hard to grow together while also growing through their training, but are they actually just growing apart and at the very least, for the absolute better?
4 episodes in and this episode is the most we have gotten to see of Angela!! I immediately like her.  Right off the bat, she is telling John about her personal life regarding how she was raised and how she grew up: by a single mom, the youngest of 4 siblings, all of which are boys and the only girl of the family!  The first of hopefully a lot more insight into her personal life!  We are slowly getting more back stories from not only Angela, but a handful of other characters as well; At this point, we know the most about John and Tim, a little about Jackson (he is a legacy) and now Angela.  Hopefully we get a little more insight into Lucys personal life as she’s the only one we don’t know much about!!  Not only do we get to see more of Angela but also of John interacting with someone else who isn’t Talia!  It’s safe to say that John is a large part of the comedic relief of this show hence his current dilemma of his training rook book.  John has been carrying it around all throughout the courthouse to study, but when he has to stop a convict from escaping he RUNS BACK TO GATHER THE SCATTERED PAGES OF THIS TRAINING BOOK-JOHN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! LEAVE THE BOOK AND RUN!!!  Angela is quick to tell him that this is the exact reason why this switch up happens every year.  The rookies get too comfortable with their official T.O’s and need to see the perspective from a different T.O.  Eventually, John and Angela find the escaped convict at his daughters quinceanera, where they let their human sides show and allow him to finish the night with her before the arrest is made.  Like Angela said, they aren’t monsters.  We also get even more of who Angela is as she tells John more about her family life/growing up and opens up about her dad because seeing this dad with his daughter is bringing up memories of her own dad.
Watching Jackson and Tim being paired together is like seeing a newborn giraffe trying to find their walking legs while the mom just sits back and watches.  Jackson is this newborn giraffe: he has the legs but they are shaky and brand new.  Jackson watches Tim and sees what he strives and hopes to be one day in his career.  Jackson looks so young compared to Tim, both in age and experience.  Tim knows he’s a damn good cop and every rookie he’s trained has also became a good one too, and Jackson wants to eventually get there but how long will it take him to do it and to what extents?
Jackson being oblivious to Tims training style, thinks he’s in for the beginning of an easy ride when Tim starts to talk personal with Jackson than BAM, a Tim Test- “Ive been shot boot.  Where am I?”  One of the more recognizable ones as well.  It is the same test he did with Lucy on her first day and where as Lucy didn’t pass (at least according to Tims standards), Jackson did or at least impressed Tim a bit with all of the correct answers.   
Tim and Jackson stake out the house with Tim’s fellow cop friend and in doing so they start to get shot at and yet again Jackson freezes up the instant he hears the gunfire and he becomes the shell of a person and hides within himself, so afraid. Tim is shocked to say the least and this is not a good impression for Jackson at all, so what’s going to happen?
Tim is angry to say the least and before he even gets out of his shop Angela knows why.  I believe that Tim has every right to be as angry as he is.  How is he properly supposed to train a rookie who wants to be a cop when at the first sight/sound of bullets and guns he runs and hides?  To Tim, Jackson is asking to be killed and that is the last thing that he needs on his shoulders.  He confronts Angela and to his dismay Angela knows and has covered for Jackson as well.  I like how Angela tells Tim that Jackson isn’t broken because he isn’t, he just has some issues to work through.  (If we are going to talk about broken people, there are essays we all can write about Tim Bradford, especially Season 1, so he just needs to push his mouth!)  
I like to see that Jackson is opening up to Nolan,  it’s the starting stages of the friendship between our rookies!  The end of day one, Jackson goes to Tim in the locker room to stand up for himself and his actions.  Tim is not Jackson’s T.O therefore, in Tim’s mind it won’t affect him whether he succeeds or fails because in the long run it won’t affect him, he harbors zero responsibility towards Jackson. This episode shows the first few signs of the serious friendship of Angela and Tim (and I know that they are best friends but again I am writing these as if I have never watched this show before and I don’t know what’s to come!) But where does Tim stand with Angela, because what happens to Jackson would directly affect Angela and after this episode, we know that they have a friendship beyond just being patrol officers together.  Which is exactly why I think Tim brings Jackson to see his friend, Wallace.  Wallace is a hermit of a person of who he once was and that’s no way to live and if Jackson continues down this path that he is currently on, Jackson will become just that and Tim knows and sees that.  Tim was never going to turn Jackson in, but he did need to put a little fear in not only Jackson, but Angela too.  This can’t happen again.
Did Wallace cure Jackson? No, but is it the first step in the right direction for helping Jackson with his fears, absolutely.  Which also proves true when Jackson takes a step in the right direction in helping Tim during the quickly ill fated shoot out towards the end of the episode.  He didn’t get out of the shop and start shooting, but he did take the initiative to prove to not only Tim but himself as well that he’s not scared anymore and he can be a good cop, just let him show it.  I think it was a blessing in disguise that Jackson was switched to Tim for these 2 special days- in hindsight, it was exactly what he needed.
Theres tension in the shop between Talia and Lucy for the most obvious of reasons.  Lucy has yet to do the one thing that Talia has told her to do: end things with John. Lucy tries to continue to talk about it but Talia doesn’t want to hear it, she has said her piece regarding it and if Lucy doesn’t want to follow it than that’s on her own conscious and it’ll be nobody but herself to blame for her own actions. Not only is Lucy breaking things off with John right for her to do in her professional life it’s also right for her to do in her personal life as well because let’s be real: Lucy! Chen! Can! Do! So! Much! Better!  Hopefully we will see it happen soon.  It makes you wonder if Talia has been in this situation before or if she’s known someone who’s been in a similar situation as Lucy is in.  
Back at the precinct hallway, Talia is calling Lucy out regarding Lucys ignorance of arresting the wrong runaway from the car and good for Talia.   As much as I like Lucy at this point, she does seem to be a little too confident (Hmm maybe Tim is rubbing off on her?!). Lucy thinks she’s one of the better rookies and there is nobody out there like her; Talia quickly shuts her down.  Talia sees the potential in Lucy, but I also think that she sees the lack of commitment to being a good cop.  Talia mentions she’s putting maybe 65-70% into her training days and the other 35-30% of her training/rookie days into being with John.  Lucy should have 100% commitment to her training and rookie days and zero commitment to John, it should even be a question.  Talia doesn’t understand why especially when it can ruin her career before it will even start.  Lucy needed to hear this very tough from her- maybe it’ll whip Lucy into shape and into doing the right thing…which is inevitable ending things with John.
The amount of personal information we are getting on our favorite characters in this episode is really great! Talia shares more personal information on her childhood in that being she grew up in the foster system, I can’t wait to learn even more on that.The next day in the shop, Lucy expresses to Talia that she doesn’t want to end things with Nolan because she really likes him and it’s one of the things she’s been most serious about in a long time, the first is about becoming a cop, as we learn that entering the police academy was on a whim to anger her parents but it quickly became one of the best things that Lucy has ever done in her life.  4 episodes in, we can say its safe to assume that anything that Lucy does in her life is serious and she doesn’t take it lightly.  Which is why she says that ending things with John is going to hurt her and it’s a hard decision for her to make, but at the end of the day, she knows that she has to do it.  She knows this because of Talia’s words that she overheard in a interrogation room.  Like Jackson being paired with Tim, I think it was a good thing for Lucy to be paired with Talia.  Talia is exactly who she needed to give her the push to end things with John.
I like how all of the side scenes and storylines converge and end up with everyone back at the precinct and all working together.  There is a good balance of personal storylines as well as ensemble storylines and it is handled very well.  At the end of day 2, the final day of “The Switch” the rookies are getting grilled by Grey on their T.O’s personal life but in a surprising, but in a typical “The Rookie” fashion, none of them fess up and say a damn thing about their temporary T.O’s.- makes you wonder why not, when each of them clearly did learn something personal?!
____________________________________________________________
Honorable Mention: Jackson’s Dog Biscuits Hack 
Episode Peak: The end of John and Lucy. Or is it?
Episode Pit: Not enough Tim and Lucy (we are all thinking it!)
Quote of the Episode: “Yo, yo, yo.  You call an Uber?  I’ll understand if you don’t give me a five star” ~ Wade Grey
Episode Rating: 10/10.  This episode is exactly what we needed at this time. We learned so much more about a number of the characters regarding their personal lives.  We got a little switch up in partners and to see how they all interact with each other was awesome! I can’t wait to see more!
Random Thoughts:
Lucy’s on duty hair was finally changed to her iconic low bun, which suits her SO much better.
With the lack of interaction between Tim and Lucy this episode, it was nice to see Lucy sticking up for Tim.  They haven’t been riding together for long, but in the time that they have been together in the shop, Lucy knows well enough that Tim would never have turned Jackson in, and she was right!  Our itty bitty #Chenford crumbs are showing!
I don’t care how many times I say it, Tim Bradford is so hot.  I know he is a completely fictional character and we have Eric to thank for bringing him to life, but there is just something about that man.
Out of John, Jackson and Lucy, I believe that Lucy has shown the most potential about becoming one of the best cops that Mid-Wilshire will have seen!
___________________________________________________________
Oh boy! This one was a doozy and if you’re reading this than that means you stuck through all of my rambling and I truly can’t thank you enough! There was so much going on in this episode and I had a LOT to say about it!!!  I hope you guys are continuing to stay with me and read my weekly episode recaps because there’s a hell of a lot more to come! Thank you again, so much! As always, I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and opinions on everything!!! I love to hear it, always!
Until next time on, “Get in The Shop”...

So...finally heres the well awaited chapter seven ! I hope you enjoy this <3
It's the first day of May. It's also been three months since Miles left again. I keep telling Flora that he'll be back soon but I feel my heart break every time I lie to her. I don't think he will be back until I leave for the summer and then he'll leave again when I come back. I feel so guilty..Flora doesn't have a brother that lives with her because of me. But was it all really my fault? He treats me like shit and expects me to tolerate it. Never mind. I don't give a flying fuck about him anymore. He can do whatever he wants, if something happens to him, oh boo hoo not my problem.
It was finally Friday which means I have tomorrow off and I only have to teach Flora a little today because the weather was perfect for horseback riding and I'd promise to let her out today. Today I wore a dark red top with dark grey jeans with black high top shoes. I put my hair in a half up half down clip and did minimal makeup because I was planning on recording myself for an upcoming interview I have for a summer job.
Today I planned out a written test to see Flora's knowledge on geography. I would give her a half an hour to finish up on review and two hours for the test. The test was fairly easy so it shouldn't take her more than an hour or so.
"And begin." I smiled at Flora, setting my timer on my desk which is right across from hers. She immediately begins to read and write down answers while I look over her past work to grade.
Around 45 minutes into the session we hear the front door open. Flora pays no attention to it, I assume it's Ms. Grose coming in from cutting grass or buying groceries so I ignore it and go back to reading old assignments. Around a few minutes went by when I heard footsteps coming to the room. Expecting Ms. Grose I take my feet off the desk and fix my posture without looking at the door. I pretend to be in deep thought with grading when I hear someone clear their throat and hear Flora shout,
"Miles!" She screeches and jumps from her seat running over to hug him. I immediately turn my whole body in my chair with wide eyes. His hair slightly longer and he looks a little taller. He still has the same smirk and dead eyes I saw the night he left. He had on a black coat that ran down to his knees and two bags in his hands that he must have taken when he left. He engulfs Flora into a hug and smiles down at her. I've never seen that smile before. Unlike the ones he had given me this one was warm and loving. I think I had given him that smile before but I wasn't sure. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, he looked up at me and smiled. It was genuine, his eyes brightened. I knew it was real because it wasn't that same old smirk he put on with confidence, he looked painfully awkward and his eyes kept darting between me and the wooden floor. I didn't smile back. I rose up from my seat and walked over to him.
"Flora, why don't you take Miles bags and put them in his room for him sweetheart?" I smiled down at her while patting her hair. She gladly accepts and runs off with his bags. Miles smiles at me again nodding opening his mouth to speak but I cut him off.
"How you been Miles? Where'd you go this time huh? Was it fun?" I say with a sarcastic fake smile, he could tell I was mad.
"Well I-" He begins as I slap his face.
"You scared the shit out of me! Do you know how upset Flora was? She cried for almost a week, blaming herself, poor girl!" I say gritting my teeth with my eyes starting to tear up slightly.
He stared at me with pursed lips before sighing and answering. "He told me to."
I scoff and look at him dumbfounded. "He? Wh-who the hell is 'he' Miles huh? What are you schizo?" I roll my eyes annoyed
"Nobody-nothing. I just..had a dream that's all." He shakes his head staring down at the floor with shame.
"Whatever Miles." I roll my eyes and walk over to Flora's desk to pick up her finished test. "Better go find Flora. Told her she could get out of class early to go ride the horses." I say looking through her test without looking up at Miles.
"You're not gonna come?" He asks quietly, nodding his head to the side, scratching the back of his neck.
I chuckle quietly before placing the test back on the desk. "After the last time?" I walk over to him, picking a pine needle off his jacket. "No thanks." I fake smile before walking out of the room to my own. When I reach my room I fall flat onto my bed before letting out a loud sigh into my pillow. A few minutes later I look out the window. I see Flora and Miles running to the stables and shouting happily. I turn to look at my Calendar, 30 days until I leave. I got sick of sitting in my room bored and decided to go do something, anything in his boring place.
I walk into the kitchen hoping there's an apple or some food sitting out but instead of being greeted with food, it's an unbearable Ms. Grose. I smile at her but she crosses her arms and frowns at me.
"Why are you being so unpleasant towards Miles?" She grits her teeth. "What are you talking about?" I ask trying to pretend I have no clue what's going on. "Talking to him in such an arrogant tone, not accepting his offer and you still wonder why he left? You should be shamed." She spits at me coldly. My face dropped as I start to feel tears in the corners of my eyes.
I quickly ran back up to my room and slam the door. Tears start to stream down my face as I grab my backpack and start shoving stuff into my bag. By the time I zipped it up I hear the front door open again. I quickly put my shoes back on and started heading down the stairs. Walking towards the door I'm wiping my tears, Miles blocks my path.
"Woah woah! Where are you going?" He asks with a concerned look on his face, his hands falling to my shoulders. "Out." I reply while sniffling trying to push past him.
"Um okay, when are you coming back?" He lets go of me, now following me out the door. "I don't know..like..tomorrow? Sunday maybe?" I continue to walk away from him to my car. "Tell me where in case you get black out drunk again and need me to pick you up." He scoffs grabbing onto my wrist.
"You know what Miles? You won't have to worry about me anymore! I won't bother you. It's clear I make you want to leave and you hate me so I'll just leave you alone okay?! Is that what you wa-"
He cuts me off by pressing his lips against mine. It was soft and quick, like he was trying to shut me up and this was the first thing he thought of. He lets go of my wrist and stands up straight looking at me sternly. My cheeks are burning red as I attempt to say something but I can't seem to speak, like there's no air in my lungs.
I lean up against my car door for a moment staring at my feet trying to decide whether to leave or not. I finally look up at him, his head in staring at my feet too. His hands are in his pockets and he's biting his bottom lip nervously. I smile up at him.
"Hey..I'll be back in a little while. I promise I won't make you pick me up this time. Want me to grab you something?" I softly smile, hoping he won't hate me. He shakes his head no with a small smile on his face before letting me get into his car. He watches me drive off before heading back inside.
'29 days..' I whisper to myself as I head into the nearest town, smiling to myself.
