Infatuation (Muke)

'you have pretty eyes'

Luke woke up to the sun shining into his face, he could feel a slight breeze because the window was open and heard the sound of birds chirping. He laid there and blinked a few times waking up fully and started thinking. Of course he felt upset because Michael didn't come over, because that meant he had no choice but to forget about him.

He rolled out of his bed and slipped on some sweatpants, he walked out of his room and instantly smelt bacon cooking. He got into the kitchen and his mum smiled

"Good morning sweetie, you hungry?"

Luke sat at the kitchen table and spoke in a groggy voice "mm morning, yeah I'm starving"

She walked over and placed a plate of eggs, bacon and toast with vegemite in front of him and a glass of orange juice. He smiled up at her widely
"Thanks mum"

He was used to getting breakfast every morning, well mostly every morning. She'd make lunch every day and dinner, she'd even cook him snacks throughout the day if he was munching. Which he loved because he had no idea how to cook.

Liz took a seat across from him
"So, have you spoke to Michael?"
She was sensing something from her son, she knew he was upset.

He poked around at his eggs with his fork and spoke quietly "I told him to come over last night or it would be over for good.." He really didn't want to think about it but it was on his mind since the second he woke up.

"I'm sorry Hun.. maybe something came up and he was busy" She tried to make the situation better but Luke knew that Michael didn't show because he didn't want too.

After they finished their breakfast they sat on the couch, Luke was browsing on his phone and Liz was watching the news. Jack came into the living room and sat beside Luke, throwing a pillow at him and smirked "Where's your boyfriend?"

Luke angrily whipped the pillow back "Can you fuck off?!"

Jack was shocked and turned to their mom "What's up with him?"

Liz hushed him and continued staring at the tv with sudden interest, Luke listened to the tv but he heard a name he knew and looked up, 

News Reporter: "A few months ago a middle aged man by the name of Daryl Clifford was hospitalized here in Sydney for a severe fracture to the head. He went into a deep coma and doctors were trying everything they could to keep him alive, he was surviving on a breathing machine until last night when a tragic mystery occurred. Clifford was pronounced dead early this morning at 3AM, they are saying the suspect.. I'm sorry the details are too horrid for live TV.. before fleeing the scene. Police never caught the suspect nor could catch anyone on security cameras because they were all shut down an hour before doctors rushed into Clifford's room. Police are aware that the suspect hacked into the hospitals security system allowing him or her to break in, they are doing their best to track the suspect and want everyone to know the hospital will be monitored by police for the next few weeks so everyone is safe. That is all for this tragic mystery, back to-"

Luke turned to his mom "Mum that-that- that's Michael's dad.. he's dead"

Liz and Jack were silent with shocked expressions, Luke quickly dialled on his phone and stood up running to his room. It rung a few times but went to voicemail

"Michael, please answer me! I heard what happened to your dad on the news, please just call me back and talk to me, I need to know you're okay. I love you." and he hung up.
