Michael sat in his room and cried for days. Luke didn't dare come anywhere close.

Michael felt like Luke's pet, who could just be locked in a cage whenever Luke didn't want him in the way.

He was scared of Luke that night.

Luke locked him away and left him as he panicked until he passed out.

He shuddered at the thought.

His mum knocked on the door lightly. "Mikey?" She asked in a worried voice.

Michael was wrapped up in his bed sheets, trying not to fall apart.

"Honey you haven't been down in days apart from for food. What's wrong?"

Michael his his face with his duvet.

"N-nothing."

"You don't think I know when my baby is lying?" She asked with a look of concern. "Is it Luke?"

The very mention of his name made Michael burst into tears.
"M-mummy." He cried.

"Shh baby what's happened?" Karen said softly, hugging michael.

"We had a f-fight." Michael whimpered, trying not to sob.

He didn't want to tell his mum what Luke did because if he did, he would never be allowed to see Luke again.

Mothers.

"Darling what about?"

"I d-don't remember." Michaels tears felt hot on his face. He knew his mother was aware that he forgot things easily, so he knew she would believe him.

Even though he remembered what happened so well.

"It's okay sweetheart you just need to talk to him. Maybe he meant things a different way or didn't think about what he was doing." Karen smiled sweetly.

"I don't w-w-wanna talk to him."

"If he's upset you like this, you don't have to do anything. Take as long as you need. You have all the time in the world."

Michael nodded and his mum kissed his tear stained cheek, saying she would order in some take out and left.

But for some reason Michael had a sickening feeling that he didn't have much time.
