.:Chapter Six::More Confusion:.
Have you ever just hanged out with someone and not care about what you look like, who you are, who you're with or where you are? Somewhere, where you're completely free from the hectic world and you can be yourself. For some absurd reason I felt that way when I was with Mike watching "Sponge Bob Square Pants." Mike was himself, he was proud and didn't appear to really care about anything, [I kind of wish I was like him, personality wise] and above all things he was friendly and funny. I was sitting on the other side of the black leather couch; each on of us had an end and didn't matter that there was another couch to us because to we were happy sharing this one with one another.
"Hey," Mike turned to me in a commercial while his feet were up on the couch.
"Yeah," I smiled back at him.
"What's your name?"
It was until then that he asked me that I remembered that I had lied about my name to Mark and couldn't remember my lie to him; therefore, I had to come clean to Mike as well I didn't want to lie to Mike. "There's something you should know-"
"Is it really Ethereal?" He asked me now letting his feet reach the floor.
"Who told you?" I asked him half shocked, I thought Mark had bought my lie.
"Mark, he said you told him it was Christi."
"Yeah." I responded embarrassed. "But I only did that because I was embarrassed about it." Now I was looking at the ground rather than him and speaking a thousand words per minute.
"At your name-oh I like this part! Shh!" he quickly shouted at me as Sponge Bob came back on, but as he did the screen froze. [The episode was 'Reef Blower']

"Damn it!" he shouted to the back of the room as though someone was there. "Mark this isn't funny!"
Wait did he just? Mark was here the whole time? What? How? I felt so angry, used, cheap, even like a whore for some strange reason.
"You suck!" I heard Mark scream back at him.
"You both suck!" I shouted at both of them. I felt so terrible for the reason I thought they were using me as their entertainment. "Was this all a big joke to you?" I screamed at Mike who was shocked to see me screaming at both of them. "Yeah, I bet it was! Don't act like-"
Rest in Results.
"What the hell is your problem?" Mark screamed at me, "This isn't your house, it's mine."
"Yo! Mark calm down!" Mike interrupted seeing how furious Mark was becoming by the second. "You too Ethereal!"
I was extremely upset, at both of them I didn't want to hear it but because of fear of my dreams, I mean nightmares being true I did. "How?" I began while my eyes were becoming watery.
"No one is doing anything to you." Mike began speaking to me, "mark and I just joke around like that when we see the other watching T.V. and Mark, she didn't know man. Let it go." Mark seemed to calm down and so I did too, Mike continued. "Now I understand," his tone was different this time, he seemed mature and wise as he spoke as tough he wasn't the same Mike from before in my closet. "You're both new at living together, both very delicate, so, let's state some boundaries. Mark don't pause the TV when she's watching and Ethereal don't get pist off so easily at jokes."
"I'm sorry..." I began apologizing to Mike but he politely interrupted.
"It's not me who you have to say that to, it's to Mark."
Was he serious? He really was a different Mike right now, and knowing this I knew I had to apologize, "Sorry Mark," I began again, but Mark was still pretty angry and so he then stormed out of the room and slammed the door on his way out. I still continued though, "but I thought you- the two of you were playing a joke on me, like seeing if Mike could pull anything."
"Why would you think that?" Mike asked me.
"Happened to me when I was in one foster home, the boy there was getting paid by his friend if he let them in when I was in the pool or something. It kind of stuck to me, I guess."
Mike smiled, I liked it when he smiled and his next move again shocked me. He hugged me and held me in his arms. I hugged him back as he whispered, "Don't worry, I won't let them do anything to you." in my ear. It felt nice to have someone say that to me as well, it was the first time in my life someone said they'd protect me.
