Michael knew something was wrong the moment he heard your sobs over the phone and he found himself racing around his old apartment, grabbing keys and hurriedly throwing clothes on as he clumsily got in his car and sped over to your apartment. What would usually be a 20 minute drive was a 10 minute drive to your place. He knew that something was seriously wrong if you called him in tears, despite the painful fact that you broke up with him, but here he was, on his way to help you without a second thought, the breakup not even registering in his mind. Granted, his mind was racing but none of it was about the sudden end of your relationship. It was mostly questions of what had you crying in the middle of the night and why he was the person you called.

He shook his head at the thoughts running through his head, shaking it slightly to avoid a headache coming on when he knew that you needed him. He was two streets away when his car decided that it wasn't going to get him there, so he abandoned it and ran to you as fast as he could, the possibilities running through his head increasing his seemingly permanent worry for you and it showed with the way he knocked on your door.  

You knew that he was on the other side of the door but you were too busy trying to stop the tears. It was only when he started speaking that you stopped trying to dry your eyes and moved your tired body in the direction of the front door near your living room. Your shaky hand unlocked the door and hearing the door unlock, Michael immediately opened it, eyes wide and panicked as he searched for you. Upon seeing you wrapped in a blanket on the couch, his feet moved faster than his brain and he planted himself next to you.

You on the other hand, moved your fluffy blanket around to make space for him and he immediately gets closer to you, pulling you into his arms. You had no idea how long the two of you stayed like that but at some point, your tears stopped and you figured that you owed him an explanation. You took a deep breath and started explaining.

"Have you ever heard me talking my family, my sister in particular?" He answered silently by shaking his head at you. You sighed but carried on. "Well, my sister is the only sibling I have and she thrives on seeing me broken in any way she can make it happen. She's the reason why I pushed you away that night when you met her. She never shows up without an agenda and destroying anything and everything that ever made me happy is exactly what happened that night." He had a look on his face but it didn't feel like it was directed at you. "I've had boyfriends before but all of them ended up sleeping with her knowing that she's my sister but that's not why I'm telling you this. I know that you raced over here as fast as you could and I appreciate that. I just, my sister, I'm scared," you tried to smile but your fear of losing him because your sister wants whoever it is you're dating made you push him away. "She said that she wants to stay with me for a week and I still haven't responded but I know that she'll show up uninvited even if I say no. I'm sorry for all of this. I just, I guess I need you here while she visits because I don't think I could handle her on my own. On top of that, I miss you and I'm sorry for pushing you away. I just thought I was protecting you from what's left of my fucked up family and I hurt you instead. I hurt us and I, I, I just can't pretend it doesn't hurt when you're not here with me all the time. Come home to me please?" Feeling the tears welling up in his eyes, he pulled you close and whispered, "I'm not going anywhere baby. I'm all yours, okay?" You nodded in response to his last question and let him carry you to your bed where you cuddled with each other through the night, unaware that your sister had been planning on rocking up at your door at the asscrack of dawn.
