Me:Can I come over?
Read. 4:12 p.m.
Luke stared at the screen, that was sent to Mia an hour prior. He let out an exhausted sigh, and kicked the street light pole out of anger. He was tired, hungry, and annoyed.
She's my girlfriend! Aren't we suppose to hang out 24/7?! He asked himself. Oh, wait, we're not actually dating...
Scrolling through old messages with old girls, his phone vibrated, and changed to the 'incoming call' screen.
Incoming call from Mia
A grin grew on his faced, and immediately answered.
"You already miss me?"
"S-shut up!" Luke laughed at her embarrassment, as he was suprised as she asked, "D-do you want to come over for supper?"
"Wait, seriously?"
"Well duh seriously!" Luke jumped from the loudness of Mia's brother's voice from the other line.
"F-fine, only because you're my girlfriend. Don't start falling in love with me now!" And with that, Luke hung up, and rushed off to Mia's.

Flashback
•.•.•.•
Mia started to boil water for the mini potatoes, and preheating the oven, as her father walked into the kitchen.
"What'cha making?" He asked her while yawning.
"Oh, uh salmon, asparagus, and potatoes," She said while getting ready to cut mangos for the salmon.
Conrad walked in, opening the fridge, "You need help, Mia?" She shook her head, as she diced the mangos, cautiously, as she had a scar on her index finger from her recklessness a few years back, "Dad, guess what." He said.
"Hm?"
"Mia has a boyfriend," He made an evil smirk from his emotionless face, as he glanced over to her, shocked face.
"N-No I don't!" She said reassuringly.
"That Luke Smith?" Her dad interrupted.
"Yeah," Her brother shut the fridge door, and stood beside Mia.
"I'm not-"
"Why not invite him over for supper?" He suggested.
"Because-"
"Do it!" She glared at her annoying little brother, as the words that followed came out of his mouth, "Or I will."
"No, no, I will."

Flashback over
•.•.•.•
Luke knocked on the door, and almost immediately, Conrad answered.
"Yo," He stood at the frame of the doorway, in a over sized black tee-shirt with dinosaur pajama pants.
"Uh.. Mia, invited me over-" Without finishing his sentence, Conrad dragged him into the house.
He's pretty strong for his age. We should hang out sometime. He'll be my new Jamie. Luke gave a small smirk, and walked into the kitchen.
Everything had already been set up. Mia was sitting at the end of the average sized dining table, which made her look like the doll she is, from how tiny she was.
He took a seat across her father, better known to him as Johnson, and on the left of Mia.
"Okay, dig in," Johnson said. Everyone struggled to get the asparagus, and potatoes, that had been placed on the middle on the table. Expecially Mia, basically climbing over the table for the salt.
"Jeez Mia, just ask for the damn thing," He was mad at her manners at the table, and slammed the salt beside her plate, leaving some grains to spill across the table.
"And since when does the guy who's been to jail care about manners?" She argued.
"You've been to jail?!" Conrad added into the background.
"That was rumor, and at least I care about manners unlike you," He started to cut his salmon, when they gave each other a frustrating look.
"Is this what you kids call a steady relationship these days?" Her father interrupted.
"Hey, why do you guys have different last names? Aren't your parents married?"
"Well, yes, but my mother is an only child and she loves her last name, so when they got married she kept her name. Then she named Conrad and I Dove, since my dad here has four brothers," She responded.
"Ahhh, I've heard about that before, about the keeping the last names thing."
Luke glanced over at Johnson, dumb struck at their conversation.
"You guys burn through a lot of topics. Mia, tell me again why you started to date him?"
"Because he can't cooperate on how popular he is." It was silent for while after that, when Luke realized that was the actual truth.
"Hey can I sleep over tonight?" He asked out of the-
"WHAT?!" (May we take moment that Mia was so quick to respond to Luke that she cut off the narrator?)
"Come on I'll sleep on the couch or something. Please?" Mia looked over to her dad, signaling to take control.
"I mean, if you sleep somewhere at least 10 meter radius away from her, then sure," Mia's jaw immediately dropped, while Luke smiled, and contuined to eat his dinner.
After eating, Luke had taken a shower, Conrad was in his room playing video games, and Mia's father had been on-call, and had to go back to work for an urgent problem. Leaving Mia to organize the living room.
Okay Mia, he'll at least be in the living room, so he won't pull anything. Hopefully. I'll have to go get him pillows, and a bigger blanket then the one he put over me. I'll go do that now-
"Mia! Can I borrow some clothes?!" Luke's yelling intruded her thoughts. He had forgotten he was still in his school uniform, which wasn't anywhere near comfortable to sleep in.
"Just a minute!" She yelled back. After searching for something that would fit him, Mia walked her way to the bathroom and knocked on the door, "Uh, I have some," Mia looked down at what she was carrying, "clothes, for you."
"Great," the door swung open, with steam escaping, and also Luke.
"Are- ARE YOU NAK-" Luke stepped out of the steam, to reveal him wearing a towel covering his junk. (Ha, did I get you?)
Mia looked at his body, and he had a six pack, but it wasn't exactly full out six pack. You could see it, but it wasn't like JOHN CENA six pack, "H-here, go get dress!" He turned around as she push him into the bathroom, making him almost fall.
Mia went back to the living room, forgetting what she had to do, when Luke walked back in on her.
"What are these?" He look down at the pj bottoms that were covered with yellow minons. Luke didn't have a shirt on still, making Mia blush and turn away.
"Th-they're my dad's. He went through this phase... it was, weird." Mia looked back over to him, putting on his shirt, when he raised an eyebrow.
"What?" He asked.
"N-Nothing," Mia remembered she had to get pillows, and went back upstairs without another word.
Luke walked over to the TV stand, where a hand full of photos sat. There was a specific one which caught his eye, when it look that Mia had been about seven, and she was skin and bones.
What the heck is this doing here? He asked himself. He grabbed the photo to analyze it more, when he had been knocked over by a large push.
"What are doing?" It was Mia, and she had a pillow.
"L-looking at photos at... at your family," Luke hid the picture of Mia, and grabbed one of their entire family.
"You shouldn't lie Luke," She took the family photo from his hand, and placed it back on the TV stand. She took the one that was hiding behind his back, and also returned it to where it was.
"You aren't mad? Or scared?" He asked.
"No. Haven't you ever wondered why I'm so small. I haven't exactly recovered fully from it, the disorder, but my size is also a side affect from just the way I was born. My dad said it was important to display it, just to show how things get better... eventually."
Luke looked at her, and got up to lay down on the couch. "Supper was really good, who made it?"
"Me," Mia answered. Luke didn't respond. He just smiled.
I hope someday things get better for me...
