Michael planned to go to Henry's house as the letter (also edict) had said. He didn't understand why though. With mixed feelings, he walked to Henry's house and knocked on the door.
Henry opened the door, "Ah, Michael!" he exclaims, he notices Michael's big backpack. "What's that for?"
"Uncle Henry, do you mind me moving in?" Michael says looking down at his feet.
Henry looks at Michael in suprise, "Sure? But why?"
Michael pauses, he didn't know why either, so he held up the letter, "Because of this."
Henry took the letter and scanned through it quickly, "I see..." he then pushes up his thick glasses and looks back at Michael.
Michael hung his head, "I don't get him, why does he want me to move in with you?"
Henry took off his glasses and wiped it, "I'm not sure."
Michael looked at Henry, "But aren't you Father's best friend? Aren't you supposed to know EVERYTHING that happens to him?" Michael was starting to get impatient.
(Forgive me CONSTANTLY changing William's pronouns here- Father, Dad, Father, Dad, Father- forgive me ;-;)
Henry sighed, "I... haven't been talking to him because of... personal reasons." he says trying to push the anger and hatred he had for William.
Michael blinked in disbelief, "WHAT?! PERSONAL REASONS?? I THOUGHT YOU WERE LOYAL!! BUT NOW I NOTICED YOU WERE F A K E?!!!" he gawks.
That triggered Henry, "Look Michael," he began all snappy, "there are things in life where you just cannot handle. If your best friend killed YOUR child, would you still keep in contact or stay happy with them?"
Michael froze, "What?" he backed away, "Father he-"
"EXACTLY!!" Henry continues, "he killed my ONLY DAUGHTER!! I can BET he didn't regret it!"
"Th-This must be some kind of m-misunderstanding... he- he wouldn't do such th-thing...!"
"Well he did, mind explaining then?"
"B-But... THERE MUST BE A R-REASON!!"
Henry narrowed his eyes at Michael, "There's no reason, he killed my daughter, and that's F I N A L." he says sternly.
Michael trembles, he backs away again. Blinking back his tears, he sprinted back, the tradegies and pain circling around him, always haunting him.
