Thankyou to everyone that left such kind comments on the last part. I shall try and get these few last parts out as soon as possible, but I don't want to rush them, so you may have to wait and bear with me. Having said that I hope you enjoy this chapter :)

Thankyou to everyone that left such kind comments on the last part. I shall try and get these few last parts out as soon as possible, but I don't want to rush them, so you may have to wait and bear with me. Having said that I hope you enjoy this chapter :) I slowly opened the box, my mind was whirling about what was inside. I peeked in the box. I opened it to find a small but very expensive looking bracelet. I slipped it on my wrist, it looked absolutely gorgeous!
"What's this for?" I smiled. "Well it's your birthday isn't it?" He smiled.
How did he know that? He must be a mind reader, he wouldn't of known otherwise, would he?
"How did you know it was my birthday?"
"Secret" he smiled. "Seriously how did you know?" I said trying to be as serious as possible, looking into his soft brown eyes. He reached his hand out and held my hand. I felt his warm fingers underneath mine. My heart was racing. I had lost my 'serious' face and was now smiling like a goof, I couldn't help it.
"I don't know if you're going to like what I have to say" he told me seriously. "Just tell me, I want to know" "Nicole.."
"Yes?"
"You...you talk in your sleep" "I talk in my sleep?" I was confused now.
"Yeah that's why I made omelettes this morning, and how I knew it was your birthday, you told me it was your 17th birthday last night, and you said a lot of other random things too" he smiled. I immediately burst into laughter, it made sense. Michael wasn't a mind reader, I was feeling so stupid for even thinking it, see there was a logical explanation, geez I felt really stupid. Wait a mintue, what Michael had said just registered.
"What else did I say?" "Oh nothing" he quickly said, a little too quickly....
"What did I say? Come on I want to know!"
"Well...I'll tell you later, come on we have to get going" We drove and drove and drove and then for some change we drove some more. It was about 8 o'clock and we still weren't there, we had turned the radio off a while back, and the silence was starting to drive me insane. I turned the stereo on and started changing the stations. "Leave it there, I like this song" I stopped changing stations, the song was father and son.
"I had no idea you liked cat stevens" he just looked at me "You don't look like the type....that's all"
"Well I do" we sat there listening to the song in silence then Michael started singing along.
*You're still young that's your fault, there's so much you have to know......look at me I am old, but I'm happy" he sang, then stopped and pulled over. "Do you want to drive?" "Drive your charger? Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I just can't see very well at the moment" he smiled. Through is smile, I distinctly saw faint tears. "yeah sure I'll drive." We switched seats, but I didn't start the car yet.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah of course I am" he said looking off into the distance.
 I just looked at him.
"It's just this song....brings back memories, that's all"
"bad?" "Kind of...Me and my dad would always listen to Cat Stevens whenever we went fishing"
"Well that doesn't seem like a bad memory?"
"It's not, It's just that...well he's gone now"
"Oh"
"And it's my fault" "How can you be responsible?"
"I was meant to go fishing with him, like we did every year, but I didn't want to go, so dad went by himself and there was a freak unexpected storm and and"
 "I can't stop feeling like if I had of gone with him, he'd still be alive today" "You can't blame yourself for that"
"Maybe not"
"No not maybe not, you can't blame yourself for your father's death, it wasn't your fault, and if you had of gone with him, you wouldn't be here either!" I tried my best to keep from crying but a single tear fell down my cheek, I wiped it away with my sleeve. "Why are you crying?" he asked me bewildered.
"Because you shouldn't blame yourself for something you had not control over" I suddenly realised, that must be why he hasn't been sleeping well. He scooted over towards me. I stayed looking out the window, not making eye contact, I felt him, his warmness at my side but didn't want to look at him.
"You're funny" he smiled. I was crying and he was calling me funny! I turned to go crook at him, to find him really close! And he was smiling at me, I had no choice but to smile back. He pulled me closer, I felt his soft warm lips pressed against mine. I could feel his sadness, and his warm breath against me cheek. I didn't want it to end. Now thinking of nothing to say that could follow his spontaneous kiss, Michael looked outside then at the clock and realised how late it was "I don't think we're going to make it to your mother's tonight, do you just want to find somewhere to sleep?"
"Yeah." I said with a huge smile on my face. We arrived at the closest motel there was, but it wasn't exactly 5 star. Just to make it more appealing it had public bathrooms. So me and Michael had showers, before we were going to decide what to have for dinner. We walked back to our room, which might I add smelt funny. I looked in the cupboards to find something, and I found a few packets of noodles. So I microwaved them. "We can sleep in tomorrow if you like? Unless you're in a great hurry to see your mother"
"No, not in a great hurry, sleeping in sounds like a really good idea" We finished up our noodles and I washed the bowls in the sink. "We'll definately be at your mother's tomorrow" Michael told me as I was hopping into bed.
"I can't wait" I told him sleepily.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure"
"Why do you want to see your mother so much? Don't you like your father?" "It's not that I don't like him, I don't know what it is I've just always wanted to go and live with my mother"
 "You know your mother isn't going to be what you expect, they never are"
"What do you mean?"
"After my father died, it wasn't that long ago, I went to find my mother, well I found her...she was living in an old trailer park working as a waitress, I thought by finding my mother that all my problems would be solved, but it just gave me more" I stayed silent listening to him.
"My mother wasn't even close to what I had expected, all I'm saying is don't set your hopes too high, you're likely to get hurt" What he said, it went round and round in my head, I had always thought that she could solve all my problems, that being with her my life would be perfect.
"I'm not trying to discourage you from meeting your mother, I just don't want you to get hurt"
"But do you think it's a good idea?" "If I were you, I would meet her, I would want to know"
"yeah...."
"Let's just gets some sleep" I got up and turned off all the lights, I hopped under the sheets and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was fast asleep.
