Love hurts?

Today's a new day

Michael's POV

I've been at home this week to help Ocean around the house and with DJ. I'm a little worried about what Jack's going to say about me having more time off but hopefully when I explain what's happened he'll be ok. I kinda feel bad about getting Ray fired, but I know it was the right thing to do. All Ocean and I want is to just have a happy and drama free life. With her parents, Ray and the Coke out of our lives, everything's gonna be ok.

I'm upstairs finishing getting ready for work when LaToya knocks on the door. "Our you ready for your first day back?"

"Yup!" I smile feeling optimistic about today. "You know if you need some more time..." I shake my head cutting her off "I'm fine. Trust me. Today's at new start for us" I smile "I'm glad to see you guys are getting back on track" she smiles. "Well...I best be going. I can't be late my first day back" I'm about to leave the room and she puts her and on my shoulder slightly "you know I didn't mean to upset the other night don't you? I just needed you to see sense" She says softly "yeah, I know. you were just trying to look out for me" I shrug smiling "So your not gonna try and get her pregnant are you?" She raises and eyebrow "of course not" I lie faking a smile then quickly head off to work before she starts getting into it anymore.

Joseph's POV

I'm about to get into my car and Carson comes storming over "I hope your daughters proud of herself" he snaps "Sherri just got suspended because of her and her little outburst" I pursed my lips and smile "mhm. And she deserved it! Maybe if she acted more professional instead of. Involving herself in patients personal business" I shrug "she only had her self to blame"

"That patient is my daughter and her niece she had every right to be concerned! Unlike you We actually care about goes on!" He snaps "too bad you didn't feel that way when your threw her out or when you tried to get their kid taken away!" I snap back "oh please! Those two are always so out of it I'm surprised if they'd even notice!"

"What are you talking about?" I frown confused "don't act like you don't know! I saw them just the other day. Those two were completely out of it. What kind of parents sit around getting off their faces in the middle of the day instead of looking after their kid huh!?" He shrugs and gets in his car before I can say anything else.

My blood boils and I storm back into the house. "Is everything ok?" LaToya asks nervously as I slam the front door behind me "where did Ocean go this Morning?" I frown "she went out with DJ to visit a friend for the day" she looks at me worried "Is everything ok?" I ignore her question and head straight to their room and start looking around. It doesn't take me long for me to find a bag of Coke hidden under their mattress.

Michael's POV

"Hey! Your back!" Jack smiles seeing me walk into his office "yeah, I um, I just wanna apologise about just running out of work like that" he smiles shaking his head "don't worry about it. Your a good kid. I'm sure you had a good reason"

"My wife was at the hospital. She um...she had a miscarriage" he walks over pulling me in for a hug "I'm so sorry! are you ok!" I nod breaking away "yeah, I'm fine" I croak faking a smile. "I'm here if you need to talk" he says softly placing his hand on my shoulder "thank's" I mumble "I'm gonna go get back to work" I say wiping my eyes and quickly leaving not wanting to cry in front of anyone.

I head to the restroom and go into one of the cubicles locking the door and begin weeping. "Mike?...you in here?" I hear I a familiar voice 'what the fuck!!?' I say to myself "Mike?" I hear again. I wipe my face and open the door and see Ray standing outside the cubicle "you starting without me?" He chuckles "n-no I was just.." I stutter still pretty sniffly from crying and he cuts me off "yeah, course you weren't." He rolls his eyes playfully "what are you doing here?" I ask confused "I work here...duh!" He laughs slightly under his breath "I wouldn't be if some fucker had actually managed to get me busted though. You know the police came breaking down my door the other night? Even came here and searched my locker apparently the police got an anonymous call telling them I've been selling Coke" he frowns "listen I- I" I begin stuttering again and again he cuts me off "and I know who it was too! It was that little fucking weasel Leo!"
