AYYYY FIRST CHAPTER!! LMK YOR THOUGHTS
I WAS WATCHING tv with abby and she was giggling.
i recently had gotten fired from my job for not being cooperative and all other shit. i wasn't paying attention to the speech my, well former boss gave me when he went up and fired me.
i heard a car come in the driveway, which i didn't think was mike because he wouldn't be this home early.
he had gotten a job as a security guard at a mall.
my suspicions rose as a key could be heard, jiggling through the door in attempts to open the door. soon, he was successful and opened the door with a annoyed, angry look on mike's face.
i quickly stood up and asked him "what's wrong? why are you home so early?"
he slammed the door and put the keys on the counter and i noticed he didn't have his uniform on like usual. he brushed past me to his room and closed the door.
"what's wrong with mike?" abby asked. she was curious most of the time, especially when it came to her brother.
"i'm not sure abbs, but i'm going to go talk to him, okay? just watch the tv you can switch the channels or something." i said, with concern in my voice. she nodded in response and i headed to mikes room.
i knocked, waiting for a response, but there was none.
i knocked once more, "mike? i know your in there."
i heard the bed creak and a tear stained, mad and confused mike opened the door.
he invited me in and closed the door and he sat on the bed, looking at the floor.
you sat next to him and grabbed his hand, interlacing yours with his.
"what's wrong? what happened at work?"
you asked him, trying to get his attention. he wasn't making any eye contact or any kind of attention whatsoever.
usually you were patient with him but you just couldn't do this right now, with the day you were having.
you let go of his hand and walked out of the room.
you notice abby wasn't on the couch anymore, so you assumed she was in her room.
you sat on the couch, feeling guilty of your actions. you knew that wasn't the right thing to do, especially with mike.
you distracted yourself with tv, crossing your arms. your mind kept on reminding you and it only made you have so much guilt rush over you.
as soon as you stood up, you saw mike standing in the hall.
"i'm sorry." he muttered. he motioned me to come to his room and i followed behind him.
he sat on the bed with me sitting next to him.
"i got fired." he mumbled.
"what? how?" you noticed tears in his eyes, so you rubbed his back, creating little circles with your finger.
"i-i thought this little boy was getting kidnapped, so i beat up the dad. i just couldn't help but think of g-garret."
you embraced him with open arms, as he cried in your shoulder. you rubbed his back as an attempt to make him feel better.
you couldn't blame him.
til this day, he blames himself for his brothers, garret, kidnapping. i'm always reassuring him that he was just a kid, he couldn't have stopped it anyway.
"i'm sorry for storming out earlier. i've just had a rough day." i mumbled into his shoulder.
"its okay. i don't know what to do, y/n. we both are unemployed. i can't even last a week at one job." he said, into my neck causing vibrations.
"it's okay. you will find one and i will help you each and every step, mike." i told him.
"thank you, love. i don't know what id do without you." he mutters, holding on to my waist tighter.
"i'm going to go make dinner. if you don't want to starve, i suggest letting go.." i tease.
he huffs and lets go, and i get up and head to the kitchen.
i made some spaghetti and i turned to abby with a plate. i set it down next to her paper where she was drawing
"what are you drawing?" i asked her, sitting down besides her.
"my friends" she said.
"that's nice. maybe take a break for a second and eat?" i asked, but it seemed more like a statement.
"okay!" she exclaimed, putting her book aside and digging into her food.
i heard footsteps coming to the kitchen and i looked up to see mike.
he grabbed himself a plate and sat down besides abby. "hey abbs. is your food good?"
he asked, with abby nodding in response.
"you gonna eat?" mike said, looking up at me.
"no, not hungry." i said, getting up.
i went to go change into a shirt and shorts in the bathroom and i walked out to see mike, with his arms crossed, leaning against the doorway. it made me melt..
"you need to eat." he said, his voice filling with concern.
"i'm not hungry right now, and i promise i'm not going back to what happened in the past, mike." i told him.
"okay. let's go to bed." he said, in his raspy voice. he put his arm forward and opened his hand, waiting for me to grab it.
i tugged onto his cold hands and he walked to the bed, dragging me along with him.
we laid down and he was quick to wrap his arms around my waist, and i nuzzled my head into his neck.
"i don't know what id do without you." mike mumbled in his raspy voice.
"you'll never know, mike. now go to sleep, you've had a long day love." i muttered into his neck, with him giggling.
he planted a kiss on top of my head and slowly fell to sleep, with me going to sleep with him shortly after.
