The Home
8:12am
The elevator doors open revealing Michael and Hannah with their items. The two walk out of the elevator, with Michael in front of Hannah, who follows right behind him. They walk past several doors and stop at the third-last door. Michael pulls out his key and a click sound could be heard when he unlocks the door. He opens it and walks inside his apartment and turns on the lights, illuminating the room. "Take your shoes off here and wait on the couch. I need to put some things away," he said.
He went to the kitchen and notices the dirty dishes that were in his sink, sitting in its filth. He makes a mental note about doing it later and opens the fridge, feeling a shot of coldness, and puts the energy drinks in the fridge, and closes the fridge. He walks to the living room where Hannah was sitting on the couch and playing with her toy on the brown coffee table. There wasn't much in the room, besides the coffee table, couch, a 40' flat screen tv, a small, wide tv stand that had his DVDs, and DVD player stored in there and a tall and thin bookshelf that stored his books and displayed pictures of himself, himself with friends, and his family, a foot away from the Tv. Michael places the bag of candy on the coffee table, getting Hannah's attention. She looks into the bag and grabbed one of her chocolate bars and reads the label. "Not yet." Micheal told her.
Hannah frowned at his comment. "You can have it after you take a bath." he said. Her expression did a complete one-eighty and brightened up. "Follow me." he said. He was down the mostly empty hallway and opens the door on the left, and turn on the bathroom light. The bathroom had a bathtub with a showerhead above it, with two curtains. One that was clear and in the tub to keep the water in it and another outside that was a deep blue that was to cover the first one.
The sink and cupboard attached to it underneath the sink were normal as the cupboard doors were wood that was a little worn out due to age. He opens one of the cupboard doors and grabs a towel for Hannah, and puts it on the closed toilet lid. He turns to Hannah and points to the handle underneath the showerhead. "Turn the handle to the left if you want it to be hotter, if it's too hot then turn it to the right. When you have enough, turn it to the left." he said. Hannah nodded. "Good. I'll leave you be, if you need me, shout. I'll be setting up your bed." He told her.
Michael walks out of the bathroom and closes the door, leaving Hannah alone. He walks to the door at the end of the hall and opens it, and turns on the light, illuminating his, somewhat, messy room. The second the lights flicked on, Michael heard the sound of water coming out of the faucet and hitting the tub. His bed was against the middle of the wall, the bed needed to be made and there were two blankets were on the ground. There was a hamper that was almost full of dirty clothes right next to the door. The night table next to his bed had a small, light layer of dust on it, along with his work desk that was in the corner of the room. Its surface was covered with papers, pens, pencils and parts of the eraser that was used to erase mistakes.
He takes off his suit jacket and puts it on his bed, and walks to his closet, and opens it to pull out an empty hanger. Michael undresses into his underwear and socks and puts on grey shorts and a blue t-shirt with a black Adidas logo, and takes off his socks and puts them in his hamper. He hangs the suit and puts it away for another day.
He then grabs one of his pillows and both blankets off the ground and turns off the lights, before walk out of the room and back into the living room. He took the couch pillows off the couch and on the ground against the couch. He places the blankets on one of the cushions and sat down on the other one. He grabs the Tv remote and turns it on, then puts the remote back down and laid back to watch the news. The anchor was talking about how a group of people in a neighbourhood, organized a clean-up of Westside park, and how the group gave food, and clean clothing to the homeless people living there.
Michael sits up and reaches for the remote. "Michael!" Hannah shouted. "Yes, Hannah!" Michael said, as he sat up and walk down the hall. "I think I broke something." She said. Michael arrives at the door, and grabs the handle, but hesitates before opening the door. "Hannah, are you wearing clothes?l Michael asked before walking in on her. "Just come inside!" She said, worryingly. Michael ignored his worries and open the door, only to see Hannah with a towel covering her body, and the bathtub's handle in her hand.
Michael look at where the handle was originally supposed to be and saw that it was. He looks at her and open his mouth, but closed it when he felt water touch his bare feet. He looks at the tub and saw that it was overflowing and went to it and tried to turn off the water. He grabs the valve and tried to turn it, but the valve wouldn't turn, much to Michael's disappointment. "Shit." He whispered to himself.
He turns to Hannah, who was still standing there, worried about what Michael would say to her with tears in her eyes. "Hannah I need you to put your clothes on and wait in the living room. Alright." He said. She nods and grabs her clothes and headed towards the door as Michael grabs all the wash clothes he has. He then closed the door and stuff the wash clothes underneath the closed door, trying to prevent any water from getting out. He walks into the living room, and turns off the tv, and looks at Hannah, who just got dress. "Come me with me." He said. They went to the door, put on their shoes and walk out of the apartment and down the stairs to the first floor. Michael knocks on the door that said the landlord.
It opens, revealing the landlord. "Hey Michael, can I help you?" He asks.
