Mikey’s P.O.V
“Mommy! Daddy! I’m home!” I called as I entered the house. “Josh’s dad drove me home if that’s okay? You were running late.” I spoke then waited for their replies. Nothing. “Mum, dad! I’m home! What’s for dinner, I. AM. STARVING!” I patted my grumbling stomach while heading for the kitchen. “Oh! And guess what! Mrs Telly gave me a little teddy bear for getting a teacher when I saw three boys picking on someone. And, and guess what what! The boy that got picked on is now my best friend and he wants me to come over and play! Isn’t that AWESOME!” I Screamed while fist bumping the air.
On my way to the kitchen I passed the lounge room and noticed my dad sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. Something was wrong. “Dad…?” I whispered but got no reply. “Daddy, what’s wr-“I started but was cut off when my father roared and threw the TV remote at me. It hit me hard in the chest and I immediately started crying.
“Daddy? Wha-what are you-“ But once again, I was cut off.
“YOU KILLED HER! IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!” He roared as he stood up and started advancing towards me. His face was contorted with rage and his body was shaking from the buildup of emotions. “Where is mummy?” I cried out, needing my mother’s arms around me. She would help me and make everything alright. “YOU KILLED HER! IF SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO PICK YOU UP SHE WOULD’N’T HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE ACCIDENT!” He all but screamed at my face, spit flying from his mouth and landing on me. By now I was on the floor with him above me screaming and cursing me for being born and for killing my mother.
“Mu-Mummy is… dead?” I chocked out through my sobbing. I stared up my father and watched as his face turned bright red. The next thing I knew, I was screaming on the floor as my dad through punches at my young body. Punch after punch after punch. I could feel my bones cracking and I could feel blood trickling in different spots of my body. It went on forever until finally black spots covered my eyes and I blacked out.

I woke up with a scream and desperately tried to figure out where I was. Everything was so bright and machines were placed everywhere. The hospital? Why am I in a hospital? What is going on?
*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
“Hey, nice to see that you are awake.” A voice called. I turned to the old man who had just walked in with a nurse. “How are you feeling? Light headed? Nauseas?” He asked once he was by my side. “What’s going on? Why am I here?” I asked. “You have been in a coma for little over a week. I am actually surprised you woke up so soon. You are a very strong boy Mr Gavin, that’s for sure”
A WEEK?! No no no! Dads going to kill me. I couldn’t do my chores if I was here. OH shit! I could feel myself hyperventilating and my heart beating so fast it hurt. The room was filled with a beeping sound and the doctor rushed over and tried to calm me down.
He is going to kill me, he is going to kill me. A voice chanted over and over and I started to get dizzy.
“Breath Mikey, deep breath, come on. In… Out…In…Out. That’s it!” The doctor called.
I ended up doing as the doctor said and took deep breaths and after a couple of minutes, I was left alone in the room while they called my dad to sign the release forms.
The mention of my dad had me chocking and gasping for air again.
Aiden’s P.O.V
Mikey’s father and I had just finished discussing the plan when his phone rung and he excused himself so he could answer it. I thought back to the last hour I have spent at Mikey’s place and the biggest grin tugged at my lips.
