You got into another bad argument with your parents- and... well, you got kicked out. they'd been threatening to kick you out for a while- but you never thought they actually would.

Michael had his own family issues- but he'd never been kicked out of his own house before.. so, when you told him, he tried to understand your situation, and said you could stay with him for a while. You had been ever since. It was relatively easy, living with Michael. thankfully, he had a couch in his bedroom, which you'd just been using as a makeshift bed. His family were hardly a bother. His father was always working, and his siblings typically kept to themselves.

One night you had a particularly hard time sleeping. You'd always had insomnia- but it had been considerably worse lately, leaving your body - and mind - in desperate need of some rest. You lay, staring at the ceiling blankly for quite a while, before a voice cut through the painful silence. "You still awake?" it seemed Michael was having the same problem, having called out from his bed.
