Chereads / Miss Amelia / Chapter 9 - Michael

Chapter 9 - Michael

3 days later, Monday

I woke up in the morning, the previous night I had both gone to bed late and had been drinking with Alex and Joseph. I had drunk a little too much, I probably had no idea who the man lying next to me was. But he was probably from our faculty, because his face looked familiar. While waiting for my sleep to come back, I tried to remember who the man lying next to me was. I was slowly remembering, he had come to me that evening when Alex and Joseph left me alone. I hadn't responded much at first, but under the influence of alcohol, I had started to give more flirty answers. The boy had noticed this, he was bringing me more alcohol and he definitely hadn't drunk a drop. As I continued to remember, I started to get angry with myself, the person lying next to me, and Alex and Joseph. Alex and Joseph had disappeared from the moment I started talking to the man. After a while, while I was having difficulty standing, the man offered to take me home, and I did another stupid thing by saying no, let's go to my house. Then, in my drunken state, I somehow managed to give the man my address, and now I am at home. When the man brought me to my house, he didn't actually come after me, I pulled him by the arm and led him into the house. When I remembered this, I was really going crazy. Then I remembered that I was trying so hard to get the man up and finally I had achieved my goal.The man lying next to me woke up after a while, turned to me and said

-Good morning!

-Good morning.

-How are you, your head must hurt. You drank too much yesterday.

-It hurts a little, yes. Why did you make me drink so much last night?

-You were so cute when you were drunk, and that's how you started flirting with me.

-It's like we're a little selfish, ahahahah.

-But what can I do, you're really a beautiful girl.

-I remember last night, but not that much. I may have bothered you a little.

-What you caused wasn't discomfort, I tried to hold myself back but you wanted it so much at that time. I know it wasn't the right thing to do but I made a big effort to hold myself back.

- No, I don't blame you, I get a little high when I drink. I can't blame you for that. At least you tried to hold yourself back. You weren't even going home from the start, I forced you into it.

- Ahahahah yes I remember. But it's okay, it was a good night for me. I really enjoyed it.

- You know, I enjoyed it as far as I remember.

- Well then, I would love to see you again and this time sit down and talk properly. Of course, if you see fit.

- Actually, you know what, why not!

- Very nice then!

- By the way, what department are you in?

- I'm studying law, this is my third year.

- I'm studying law too, but this is only my first year.

- How nice, I'm glad.

- Do you have class this morning?

- Yes, you do, you do?

- I have one too, let's get up and get ready. I don't want to be late.

- Okay, I think so too. I'm not someone who likes to be late anyway.

After saying that, I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. He was also making the bed. After making the bed, he came to me. I realized I didn't know his name, so I asked his name.

- By the way, what was your name?

- Michael, if I remember correctly, you should be Amelia.

- Yes, you remember correctly, excuse me. After all, I was drunk last night.

- No, I guessed, no problem.

- By the way, will you have breakfast?

- I will if you make it.

- Okay, will you have toast?

- I will.

- Okay then, I am making toast.

- Okay, that's fine with me.

After that, Michael went to the bathroom, and I made our toasts. When the toasts were ready, Michael came and helped me set the table. Then we sat at the table to eat. After we both quickly ate our toasts so as not to be late, Michael helped me wash the dishes and we started getting ready.

We left the house about an hour later. While I was trying to remember where I parked the car, I remembered that it was on the street from the bar. I looked at Michael and said:

-Well, my car is left at the bar. Is it okay if we go with you?

-Of course, are you doing anything on the way out?

-No, I don't have any plans today.

-Fine. If you want, we can sit and have coffee for a while. Then I can take you to the bar, you can take the car and come back home.

-That would be great, thank you.

After saying that, I got in his car and he started driving towards the faculty. When we arrived at the faculty, I realized that I didn't take his number and took his number just as I was about to leave. Then I started walking towards the classroom. While walking in the hallway, I ran into Alex and Joseph. They seemed a little too close to me, I didn't like that. I wondered if they had experienced something last night. The more I thought about it, the more I got angry, so I decided not to think about it. They had called me yesterday but couldn't find me. Of course, I didn't tell them what happened, I was only planning to tell Alex. After a while, we went to the classroom and sat down close to the start of the lesson.

When the lesson was over, I called Michael, his lesson had finished an hour before mine. He said he was sitting in the cafe, so I started walking towards the cafe. When I got to the cafe, Michael was sitting with a friend, he got up when he saw meand left. He hadn't even bothered to approach me. This got on his nerves a bit, but I didn't care. I sat across from Michael and we started chatting, introducing ourselves to each other. I had warmed up to Michael, maybe he could talk me out of Joseph.We sat and talked for about three hours. Those three hours felt like 30 minutes to me. Then we got up and went to his car. He dropped me off at the bar and I got in my own car and drove home. When I got home, Michael and I continued talking on the phone. Then I hung up the phone and got in the shower. I felt happy and energetic. It was a good thing. Life was going pretty well. After I got out of the shower, I made myself dinner and sat down at the table and started eating.

A week later, Monday

I woke up this morning and Michael still hadn't seen what I wrote him last night. I wondered if he had grown cold towards me. If that was the case, I would be very upset. I had class today, I tried not to think about it, got out of bed and started getting ready.

4 hours later

I couldn't see Michael at school either, I asked his class and the people in his class about him but they said they couldn't reach him so I started to worry. Did something happen to him, did something happen? Then I saw Michael's friend who I saw last Monday. I asked him too but he said he didn't know either. I was really worried

The next day, Tuesday

I had class today, I was at school and I couldn't see Michael or reach him again. My worry was slowly turning into fear. I met Michael's friend again and asked him:

-Have you heard from Michael?

-He committed suicide.

When I heard his words, I was in a terrible state. I was upset, I really didn't expect something like this. I went home that evening and got myself a bottle of whiskey from the fridge. I drank the bottle directly. I needed to distract myself. I have started drinking like an alcholic. My throat was burning like hell, it was painfull but it didnt stoped me. After a while, I fell asleep due to the effect of being drunk
