Chapter 8

Hallie's pov
"You didn't tell him about what's been happening?!"I exclaimed.I was currently on the phone with Michael while Elijah and Marcus were working on what to say to the jury,"I-I don't want to upset him!"he claimed.I sighed,rubbing the temples of my nose."Michael Anthony Oliver,he is your boyfriend for gods sake:you have to tell him these things!"I exclaimed,"look:he's getting better,and I don't want to damage his mental health.based on what Krist's told me,it's really fragile."he explained.I raised an eyebrow out of curiosity,"ok well...I do appreciate you being a caring boyfriend."I complimented him.

"But,I don't appreciate you lying to him just to protect him."I said,picking up my phone."eventually he will find out Micah,"I carried the phone with me into the kitchen."and he'll most likely be very upset about you not telling him."I placed it down on the kitchen counter."I know,I know,it's just..."he sighed,"just what?"i leaned the phone against my shoulder as I opened the fridge."he's very fragile Hallie,"I grabbed some takeout I had and closed the fridge,"I feel like a feather could break him metaphorically."I dug into a drawer for a fork."I know Micah,but someday he's gonna have to learn to be strong with help from you or the guys."I said,pulling out a spoon.

Today's the day Kurt's getting out of rehab.he was officially clean,so we decided to throw a party for him.actually it was mainly Michael,Krist,and Dave's idea.Michael explained to me that Kurt should have a moment of peace before being basically "thrown to the wolves".we all agreed with him,mainly cause I was worried about Kurt's mental health.based on what Krist's told me,it's extremely fragile.Dave was in charge of inviting people,so he basically invited bands that were friends with Kurt and the band.
