-flashback ((fyi follow up of chap 12))

"You really can't just let them push you around like that"

"I don't really have much of a choice"

"You hadn't done anything to them"

"They are so much bigger and stronger than I am, I render myself defensless to settle with the lesser of two evils"

The girl looks up at Michael chewing on her chapped bottom lip.

"On the bright side, your eye is less swollen"

"If this is your way of getting me to go to school soon its not working"

"You're missing out on lessons! Besides Mrs.Greenfield will make sure they won't be near you all throughout school hours"

"I don't really care. Besides, they'll find away to get to me. They always do"

"Well I can't keep constantly bringing over your work, your mum would think I was weird or obsessed with you or something"

Michael pursed his lips.

"It's been 8 days"

"8 days of what?"

"8 days of continuously coming over her car is still missing from the driveway. Is she around? Or has she gone out for a bit?"

"She's gone out"

"For 8 continuous days?"

"Yeah"

"I don't believe you"

"She's just a lot busy with client's cases"

"The building closes at 5pm and i'm usually here till 8. From here, her workplace is 15 mins away"

He shrugged.

"Theres something you aren't telling me, isn't there?"

"Course not"

"You're lying"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am no-"

"You're scratching your nose"

The boy stops scratching his nose, lowly placing his arm down.

"Is... Did...uhm...your mum... She's gone hasn't she?"

For a second, he was extremely reluctant. You could see the way the froze for a split second, uncertainty washed over his pretty face.

"Yeah"

"Did she..has she...passed?"

"No, no, she isn't dead"

"So where is....."

"She's gone. She's left."

"Without yo-"

"To get away from me"

"But-"

"No one cares about me"

"Thats a lie"

"I'm a murderer"

"You are no murde-"

He looks down on his bruised pale fingers.

"I'm the reason my dad killed himself"

The girl crouched down from the chair she sat on onto the floor next to the boy.

"Don't say that"

"But it's true"

"It isn't"

"You don't know that"

"Oh but I do. I do"

She takes his hand is his.

"I'll be here. For as long as you need me. Anytime, anywhere"

He only squeezes their interlocked hands lightly in acknowledgement.
