The Hourglass 58 A Call

That night after dinner Michael dragged Melinda and Aria to his toom before troughly 'punished' them that night until they fainted with liquids all over them, after that Michael washed their body and replaced the sheets before tucking them in and exiting the room and went to the garden on the fourth floor.

Michael looked at the dark sky and took out his phone, the phone indicated it's Saturday's morning but the sky is still as dark as night but Michael knew it from his power that it's correct.

Silently Michael dialled Jessica.

Beep…Beep…Be-

The phone connected and Jessica was the one that firstly talked "Michael finally you have courage to call me huh, you avoided my call these weeks is it because you are afraid of my anger huh!?"

Michael was stunned before he laughed "Hahahah…"

"What's so funny want me to go there and punish you myself" Jessica said angrily a she still remembered the incident these weeks ago.

With that reminder Michael remembered that he just 'punished' Melinda and Aria, making him laugh harder but finally when Jessica couldn't handle it anymore Michael stopped and spoke.

"I am glad Jessica that you are still the same the one that became an angle and when she is calm or happy and become a ferocious chihuahua when you are angry, hahaha…" Michael said with happiness.

Just as Jessica was about to get angry again Michael spoke "so please don't change if possible be my best friend, be the girl that I fall for, be the support just like you have done for years, be my only girl friend who that I can open my felling to, please don't change."

Jessica fell silent before saying softly "why are you saying this did something happen?"

"Well, I somehow want to be honest with you but I think I can only be partially honest to you, yes something did happen but it started months ago it changes me because what I have experienced sadness, love, braveness, fear, death, killing, success, I experienced many things that I probably won't experience if you didn't reject me that day although it was painful it is makes grow without me knowing, ah I know you are feeling guilt but because of it I met Aria remember." Michael told a very small pieces of the story that he experience there months.

"Why are you telling me this then?" Jessica asked.

"Didn't I tell you the reason because you Jessica are my best friend, from tomorrow on it will stay the same no more no less " Michael said while gazing at the dark sky before he used his elemental power to push away the gas obstructing the stars.

"Why not today?" Jessica asked while calmly accepting all Michael's word.

While gazing at the stars in the sky Michael opened his mouth to answer "because I need to truly accept the fact that have been presented to me, I want both of us to be happy because I know if I didn't do this sooner or later I might do something that will made both of us sad, I know this because i know myself even some part you don't and because what I have experienced I may do what I would regret so I want to prevent it as I already declared my love's goodbye toward you."

Michael stood there leaning against the rail while gazing at the stars waiting for her reply "you are wrong I perhaps know you much better than you thought because I already could guess what you experience and what you would do but still I want to be your friend even so."

"Did you really guess right?, what I do to you will be horrible you know if I didn't prevent it." Michael asked in calm voice.

"Precisely because I guess right and know you well that I know you would want to prevent it" Jessica opened her window and looked at the unusually clear sky that wouldn't even let a starlight went trough just minutes ago.

"I guess you are but I think I know you well enough to confidently say that you won't be 100% be sad if I did it won't you?" Michael teased Jessica with a smile on his face.

"What nonsense are you talking about of course I won't be 100% sad because I would be 99,9% angry you know MF!!" Jessica answered too with loud voice but there is still a smile on her face because they juts teased each other like it was the old days.

They continued to chat but before long Jessica yawned so after partially reminded her about the double date tomorrow Michael ended the call and went down to the second floor and went back to his room.

He stripped naked but of course not to vent his feeling but juts to snuggle with Aria and Melinda, he hugged both of them into his embrace to share their warmth together and he said softly.

"Thank you for loving me even though it's maybe initially because outside influence but we gradually built these felling so thank you" Michael kissed both Melinda and Aria on their forehead before pulling the cover and closed his eyes with a faint smile on his face.
