Here is the second chapter of this story. It's kind of short, but the next won't be. Hope you enjoy!
Hoping
He sat there on his bed, crying for what seemed the thousandth time.
Leo watched as Mikey let loose his silent tears once more, as he desperately tried to draw something, anything. It pained Leo to see him this way.
It had been a month since they'd said Mikey couldn't see the girl anymore, and his sad mood never changed since. He only grunted and shook his head in responses, never speaking.
Mikey never acted like this before. Leo wondered if he would ever be happy again.
His brothers had tried to rouse him from this depression, but only succeeded in pushing him in deeper.
Mikey couldn't take it anymore. His family constantly told him to forget her, but he couldn't. Every time they told him to, he would end up in his room, crying once more. He had to see her, at least once, or god knows what will happen to him.
So finally one night, a Friday night at 9:47 p.m., he visited the girls building during a game of ninja-tag.
She was already there on the rooftop, sobbing.
Mikey couldn't figure out why. Leo said she stopped going to the roof after awhile.
"Maybe she knows….." he thought for a second, but then mentally kicked himself. How could she know when he was there and when he wasn't? She just couldn't.
But, interestingly enough, after arriving, she perked up and looked around. A smile formed on her face and she stood up to stare into the night.
"Maybe she does….." he whispered to himself.
He smiled as well, but quickly turned around and headed back, afraid one of his brothers would find him missing. He wanted to continue seeing her again.
He would continue to visit, but less frequently than before, so he wouldn't arouse suspicion. And he would wait for everyone else to disappear before he headed her way. And she would always be waiting for him, as he liked to think.
His mood began to pick up, and when his brothers questioned him about it, he would say he had gotten over her and then made a quick joke to show for it. He was even drawing again.
But most of them were of her, which he kept well hidden.
After awhile though, he began to see her every Friday like he did before, and stayed just as long too. One of his brothers was bound to find him there eventually.
It was another Friday night, so naturally, during their game, Mikey snuck off to see her once more. The one thing he didn't notice was Don following him.
Don had noticed Mikey would be missing for a bit every Friday, and wondered if he was seeing that girl again. He kind of hoped he was. Don was never for taking happiness away.
And after a few minutes, he found him perched on the rooftop he and his brothers had found him before. Mikey's eyes gazed longingly at her. He looked so happy and peaceful.
Don walked over to him and tapped him on his shoulder. Mikey jumped at least three feet into the air at the sight of him. Don smiled as Mikey began to plead with him.
"Please Don, don't tell anyone! If they find out I'm toast! Please?" he begged, fear in his eyes.
"Mikey, don't worry. I'll keep your secret." he said comfortingly as he patted his shoulder. He then turned and left, letting him enjoy his night. He never was for taking happiness away……
But as soon as Don left, Mikey jumped down to the girl's building. Tonight he would see if she would accept him. But as he landed, he made a small thump, loud enough for her to hear. His body stiffened.
"Please don't say she heard me…….." he pleaded in his head.
But, of course, the girl whirled her head in his direction where he was crouching in the shadows.
"I know you're there." she said softly, smiling at how long it took him to come down and confront her.
Mikey's heart was in his stomach, and beating fast. He was hoping she wouldn't scream. Hoping, hoping, hoping…..
I should have the last chapter up soon! Please review!
