"Mihael! Hey Mihael wake up!" someone shook me.
"Ngh! Nooo!" I groaned, curling into myself.
"Get up! You need to do your father a favor." I opened one eye to see my mother standing over me with her hands on her hips. "Your father's friend's son is coming over to fix your dad's car so you're going to have to watch him and make sure he doesn't steal anything. From what I've heard this kid is a real punk and has some screws loose."
"Why can't you do it?"
"I've got to go to work today." she said completely insulted. She works a few days a month and acts like she really does something.
"Fine." I gave in and sat up. This shouldn't be to difficult. "When is he coming over?"
"Hmm an hour or so. Now get dressed and be nice to him when he gets here."
"Of course." I'm not the one who is afraid of him stealing something.
She walked to the door "I'll see you later." she muttered and left quickly.
Yeah I love you too. Sitting up I stretched and my bones cracked into place. "Ouch. Ugh I don't want to sit around waiting for some asshole all day." I whined, plopping back onto my bed. Huff, I guess its not like I have anything better to do. My homework is all done but I did want to start thinking about what I was going to do about Matt. Poor kid, I do feel kind of bad for doing this to him. Oh well that's life for ya'... well my life anyway. I stood up and began to get dressed, putting on a shirt and pants. Should I put on shoes too? No.
There was a knock at the door. I guess he's here. I walked down the stairs quickly and the doorbell was rung vigorously. Swinging the door open I was greeted with a messy mop of red-ish hair with goggles strapped on top. "Yo!" was what Matt said putting a hand up to his forehead to solute me. "Oh Puddin'! I didn't know our dads were friends." Shit. "Show me to the car please." he grinned sweetly at me.
"S-sure thing." I opened the door wide for him. So this is the kid with a few screws loose... how could I not have guessed? I showed him into the garage where the cars were "Here it is. I'll ju-" That's right I'm not allowed to leave. "I'll just stay here."
"You wanna watch me fix this guy up?" he smiled and walked over to the silver car.
"Yeah I've got nothing else to do."
He looked over his shoulder at me still smiling, he walked up to me "Take a break and play a while, doo da, doo da. Guaranteed I'll make you smile, oh the doo da day!"
I narrowed my eyes "Yeah none of that."
"Sorry! I was up all night re-playing that batman game." he sighed setting down a bag of what I assumed were tools in front of the car "So whats wrong with the little guy?" he patted the car affectionately.
"I'm not really su-"
"Maybe its the transmission." he muttered to himself opening the hood, taking a look inside. "So," Matt started clearing his throat "Mello whats going on?"
"Not much."
"Hmm so d-did your parents say anything about me?"
"What do you mean?" I cocked an eyebrow.
"You know when parents see a kid walking around with all sorts of piercings and I'm sure they know about m-my-- some of my umm faults. They sometimes blow things out of proportion."
"Are you talking about your therapy?"
"Sort of." he looked at me with a silent question.
"I didn't tell anyone if that's what you want to know."
He stuck his tongue out "No its not that." Matt looked back down inside of the car "Its just I've been noticing something." he walked up to me looked me right in the eyes and said "You don't like me very much do you?"
Matt said that with a smile on his face "How-- what makes you say that?"
"Just a feeling."
I sighed. Better lay it on him then. "Its not that I don't like you, you're a nice kid, but I didn't really mean to say yes when you asked me to be your boyfriend."
He closed his eyes and continued to smile gently "I understand." he looked at me, his eyes were glassy "We can break up its just-- if you don't mind I'd really like to stay friends because" a stray tear ran down his cheek "I still really like you. Its so fucking dumb! But I still like you and that feeling I get from you. Even though as I'm telling you all of this I want to do is throw up because you make me so nervous."
"Matt I promise we can still be friends." I laid a hand on his shoulder and he curled into me, tightly wrapping his arms around me. His movement surprised me but I was even more surprised when I hugged him back and laid my cheek on top of his head.
Matt shook against me. There were a lot of things I could have said, things I wanted to say but he pushed away from me looking happy other then his blood shot eyes "I'll fix the car now." he turned back to the car.
He's a weird kid. I sighed folding my arms. Leaning against the wall I watched him fix the car. Once in awhile he would say something and we would talk briefly but for the most part it was quiet "Have you figured out whats wrong yet?"
"Y-yeah." he grunted and pulled out a big roundish metal thing and laid it on the ground "Looks like this car is going to need a new alternator. I can order one tonight and get this guy all fixed up by tomorrow." he said cleaning his greasy hands on a cloth.
"Sounds good."
"Well I have to go do something right now," how he said that, at the time I thought it was strange but I didn't give it to much thought "but the car will get fixed tomorrow!" he promised with a wave of his hand he left. He took that pretty good. I'm glad he wasn't to upset but I still feel bad. I thought making my way to the couch to lay down.
Somehow I get the feeling something is going to happen.
The next morning my mother woke me up in the same manner as the day before but this time she said "Your father's friend is coming over to finish fixing the car so just let him in when he gets here."
"His son isn't coming back today?"
She shook her head then brushed her blond bangs from her eyes "No, thank god. That kid is just a mess, your father told me that last night he went out and got himself into a bit of trouble again."
Shit. "Wh-what did he do?"
"Who knows." she shrugged "He's got some problems. Anyway let him in when he get here. I'll see you later Mihael." she said leaving.
Damn, I hope he's okay. Stupid idiot! I can't believe he didn't tell me something was wrong. I thought angrily getting dressed. I heard a knock and walked down the stairs to the door, I still half expected to see Matt but was greeted with what could pass as an older version of him with dark brown hair and no piercings "Yo!" the man grinned and put a hand to his forehead. "I've got the part so where is the car?"
"Back here." I took him to the garage.
"Thank-a-you." he walked inside.
"So where is Matt?" I asked casually.
He sighed "That kid of mine." he shook his head "He's just a little sick today because he tried to give himself another piercing." I looked at him questioningly "Whenever he gets depressed he says the best way to cure it is a 'healthy dose of outer pain.' So then he goes to get something pierced. All of a sudden yesterday he comes home begging for the money almost in tears but when I told him I didn't have any on me at that very second he went in the bathroom and tried to put one of his studs through his upper lip." I cringed "I stopped him just in time though so he'll be okay just no new piercing."
"I see." Once again I was at a point where I wanted to ask and say several things but instead I stayed silent.
