Binary Star ~MILEVEN AU~

chapter eight

'I've never seen stars as beautiful as your eyes.'

It's been two days. Two days since Mike argued with his parents. Two days since Mike stopped hanging out with his friends. Two days since Mike last talked to Eleanor.

No matter how many times the party and Eleanor tried to reach out to him, he always made an excuse like 'I'm not feeling so good' or 'My mom needs me home'.

But in reality, he was just tired. Tired of feeling hurt. Tired of feeling like a burden on people's back. He hated how people were held back by his problems. He knows he needs a shoulder to cry on, but he wouldn't just admit it. He knows he needs help to overcome his depression and his nightmares, which have gotten worse now by the way, but he is just scared. Scared that people would just pity him and not care about him.

Knock Knock

Mike groaned in annoyance, rolling over and laying on his stomach, pulling the blankets over his head.

"Go away, Nancy."

"M-Mike.", a sniffle came from the other side of the door. Mike could barely hear his sister through the loud music in the background. He quickly got up, yanking the blankets to the side and making his way to the door, turning off the music.

He opened the door to find his sister sobbing in her pajamas, holding a pregnancy test in her hand. He wrapped his arms around her as she cried in his shoulder. He ran his hand up and down her back trying to calm her down, stroking her hair with the other as she continued to soak his t-shirt.

After a few minutes, Nancy started to calm down a bit. Mike slowly pulled away, grabbing her wrist and lifting it to take a look at the pregnancy test. His eyes widened in shock as he gasped loudly. 'It's positive!', His inner thoughts screamed as he started to panic.

'How did this happen?!'

'When did this happen?!'

'How long has she known?!'

'How is she gonna tell mom and dad?!'

'Who's baby is it?!'

Mike shook his head, ignoring the thoughts running in his head. He knew he had to be strong for Nancy. He led his now shaking sister to his bed, popping himself next to her.

"You're pregnant.", Mike said, more of a statement than a question. Nancy just nodded, staring down at her feet, fiddling with her fingers.

"H-How long have you known?"

"Not long before I bragged into your room.", she shrugged.

"Does anybody else know about this?"

"No, just you.", Nancy shook her head.

Mike nodded, proceeding with his investigation. "Wh-Whose baby is it?", he asked hesitantly. Nancy reminded quietly and Mike started to panic again.

"You don't ha-"

"Johnathan's.", Nancy finally blurted out to Mike's relief. He knew Johnathan was the right person for his sister. He also knew how complicated she was and he was happy she found someone like Johnathan.
