Evolution
Chapter 5
Adam was pacing around his room anxiously. He’s always hard being stuck in the house. Being grounded was his worst fear as a kid. He’s always been outdoorsy, his mother would always say he was an animal in a past life. He heard a woosh of wings behind him.
‘’will you please stop.’’
He turned around to see Michael. He looked agitated. It wasn’t Adam’s fault, he was just getting antsy.
‘’ ‘m sorry…’’ Adam apologized. Micheal looked him up and down.
‘’ I can feel you.’’ Jeez how to not make that sound predatory. Adam curiously cocked an eyebrow. ‘’everything you feel, I can sense it.’’ Micheal explained. Adam nodded slowly. Micheal kept staring at adam as if he was trying to scan him. Adam sighed and sat down on the couch with his head hanging off miserably.
‘’Better?’’ He mumbled staring up at the ceiling. Micheal narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. He looked annoyed and more curious. Adam closed his eyes and sighed expecting Micheal to leave but instead he was surprised to feel a weight slowly seated next to him. He looked up to see something in Micheals hand. It was..an Metallica record! He loved that band! Micheal handed it to Adam and Adam slowly took it unsure what to do.
‘’Holy- jeez! How did you-‘’
‘’You mentioned it when you said you wanted music in here.’’ How did he even remember that?! Adam mentioned that ages ago! But he didn’t question it. He smiled at micheal brightly.‘’I don’t even know what to say man, thank you’’
Micheal nodded and left it at that. Probably went back out the deal with Lucifer. Adam looked down at the CD and began to wonder how the hell he was gonna play it, then suddenly a CD player poped up in front of him. ‘’How the- oh right..thanks!’’ Adam yelled out. He had completely forgotten micheal can hear his every thought. Kinda freaky but can be useful sometimes. (But mostly freaky.)
When Micheal came back Adam was laying on the couch listening to the CD staring at the ceiling. ‘’I see you enjoy the noise.’’ Micheal spoke. Adam sat up and nodded. ‘’Yeah man I love it but yknow somethings been nagging at me’’
Micheal cocked an eyebrow.
‘’How did you remember?’’ Adam asked with that tone. Micheal shrugged.
Adam sighed. ‘’Sure sure…ooorrrr…’’ he trailed on. Micheal looked at him curiously wondering what was gonna come out of this kids mouth now. Adam grinned at him stupidly. ‘’You like me enough to listen to me’’ Micheal scoffed. Adam smiled and stood up. ‘’Cmmmoonnn you like me you know it!’’ He teased. Micheal rolled his eyes and folded his arms as if it was w old accusation. ‘’I could never like you. You’re simply a vessel Adam Milligan.’’ Micheal spoke coldly. ‘’I gave you the CD so you’d stop whining.’’
Adam’s grin faded a bit. He made an ‘oh’ sound of disappointed. He sat back down and looked down at he floor. Micheal looked him up and down and furrowed his brow. He’d ask himself why he said that but he knows why he did. Adam looked over at Micheal nervously. ‘’Well if you hate me so why don’t you get outta here.’’ He said. Micheal continued to just look at Adam, the eye contact being tense and the silence feeling never ending. ‘’And I’m done whining.’’ Adam added. ‘’So you can take that CD back too.’’
After a few more moments of silence, Micheal left. But he left the CD. Adam got up after he left and walked over to the CD, staring at it thinking ‘I’m such an idiot.’ He took the CD off the player and threw it on the ground, then off to the bedroom he went to ‘’whine’’ as Micheal would put it. What a stupid thing to think. Micheal having any emotion? Please, it’d be a miracle. Adam laid flat out on the bed to just think. Louging around doing nothing is his best way to think.
Micheal was finally starting to come around and he scared him off again like a mad man waving his hands around at a dog. A douchy, grumpy, know it all, cold dog. Back at square one.
