6. I need to find him

Michael POV.
*trigger warning*

"Ding dong..."
Luke looks at me with a confused look.

"I guess my parents forgot their keys. Wait a second, I'll be back in a minute Mikey." Luke says to me.

"Okay Luke." I say with a smile on my face and Luke walks to the front door.

"Hello." I hear a man say with irritation in his voice.

"Hello, can I help you sir?" Luke says calmly.

"Do you know where Michael Clifford is?"

"Depends, who are you?" Luke asks with a bit of irritation in his voice. I think I know this voice. I carefully walk to the stairs so that the man can't see me.

"I'm his father."
No this can't be true. I feel my heart race and I'm breathing fast. Get him out, I hate him! I feel like I'm going to pass out.

"Ohh, uhm-" Luke says but I cut him off.

"W...what do you want from me?" I say out of breath.

"You, come with me now!" He says with anger in his voice. I panic and freeze.

"No! You're not going to take him. Don't you see, he's upset and doesn't want you here!" Luke says with anger in his voice.

"Oh, and who do you think you are?"

"More than you could ever be for Michael!"

"Get out of the way, now!" He says while he harshly pushes Luke away who falls against the wall. The man who calls himself my father walks to me and grabs my arm
"I said come here!" He drags me downstairs. I feel numb I can't do anything. I don't want this, I get angry at myself for not being able to move.

Luke gets up and looks furious. "Leave him!"

"He's my son, and I don't have to listen to a 16 year old! He's coming with me and that's that!"
The man's grip on my arm grows tighter. He drags me to the front door but Luke gets in front of it.

"I'm not letting you take him. Look at him! He's broken."

"Shut up, I'm taking him, he's my son! And I don't care, he's coming with me now." He says while he pushes Luke away again, Luke now falls with his head against a table and he's bleeding.
It's all my fault, I ruin everything!

"No!" I scream and try to get away from the man's grip, its not working. I feel tears rolling down my cheeks, Luke's laying on the floor, unconscious while his head is bleeding. The man drags me outside to his car while I scream and cry out for help, he suddenly hits me and everything goes black.

Luke POV.
"Luke? Luke! Wake up honey!" I carefully open my eyes everything is blurry but I see my mother.

"Luke, are you okay? What happened here honey?

I blink a couple times, and realize where I am. "Mikey? Michael! Mom where is he? Where is Michael?" I panic and try to get up but there's a sharp pain in my head.

"Hey, hey calm down Luke I don't know what you're talking about."

"No I have to find him mom, he's in danger mom, we gotta find him!" I try to scream while I'm crying. I need to find him I let him go, I failed.

"Hey everything is gonna be okay Luke. Come with me to the kitchen, I'll clean up you're head and then we'll talk okay?"

I nod and finally give in. My mom helps me to get up and we walk to the kitchen. I sit down on a chair and my mother cleans the wound. It doesn't even hurt.

"So, tell me what'd happened now?"
I try to calm down a bit and start to talk.
"Uhmm so you know this new friend from school, Michael, right? He spent the night here because there was a fight at his house. He hasn't had any contact with his father for almost his whole life but yesterday his father suddenly came to his house and started arguing with his mom. So he ran away to a playground and called me, I came to get him and took him here. And this morning his father was here because he wanted to take Michael but Michael didn't want to and panicked. So I said his father had to leave him alone and he pushed me and that's when everything got black. We have to find him mom!"

"Okay honey, we'll find him. But first we have to go to his mom."

"Okay, let's go then."

"Are you sure you're okay Luke?" My mom says and looks worried

"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go" I say and try to fake a smile.

"Okay." My mom says and writes a note for my father.
And we leave to Michaels mom.

Michael POV.

I try to open my eyes and blink a couple times. Where the hell am I? I get up from the bed and walk to the door, locked awesome. I sit down on the floor and try to remember what'd happened. Luke! The first thing comes to my mind is Luke, is he okay? I remember him screaming and my father giving him a push and Luke falling against the table with his head. Blood, there was blood. Luke was bleeding! Is he okay? I feel sick, I'd put him in danger. I knew I should stay away from people, why was I so stupid that I dragged him into my stupid stuff?

Maybe it's better for everyone if I die, no not maybe I know it is. I feel in my pockets, knowing that there may be a blade in them. I was right and take it in my hand, I take a deep breath and put the cold metal against my skin. I push it a bit and cut a few times very time getting a bit deeper, I just want it to stop. Suddenly the door flies open, I see my father.

"No, no its not gonna be that easy." He says with a bitter voice.
I freeze and the blade falls on the ground. He picks it up and I look at him with big eyes.
"Ww..what do you want?" I say while my voice is shaking.

"Nothing, aren't you glad you gotta spend time with your dad?" The man says with a bitter sound in his voice.

"Now, don't cut anymore. We don't want you to die, don't we?" He says with a bitter laugh.

I look at the ground and feel scared. What if he will hurt Luke again?

"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He says and I feel a sharp pain in my cheek. Tears are welling up in my eyes.

"See what happened to you! You're a failure Michael! I never wanted you! But off course your mother did. You ruined everything! Everything Michael! And you still do, think about your friend Luke. He'll never want to see you again!" He screams.

"No, stop it! Stop it! I scream and fold my hands over my ears. I'm now crying hysterically.

"You can't even handle the truth! You're pathetic!" He screams at me while he kicks me in my ribs, I feel a sharp pain and he keeps kicking me. And all I can do is lie here and take it. He hits my head and everything goes black again.

Luke POV.

I'm sitting on the couch with my mom, Michael's mother and the police in front of me while tell the story for the third time. I'm not crying anymore, I'm not feeling anymore I feel like I'm a robot. Telling a story over and over again. I'm so worried and I can't do anything except for telling the fcking story to the police.

"Okay we'll see what we can do. We'll tell you when we find something and thank you for the information." One of the men says and I nod. I'm too tired to argue.

"Thank you officers." Michael's mom says and walks them to the door. She took it really bad but calmed down when the police got here.

"I think we gotta leave Luke." My mom says. I nod and get up. We walk to Karen and say goodbye.

"I'll keep you updated. And they'll find him Luke." Karen says but it sounds like she's trying to convince herself more than me. I nod and my mom and I walk home.

I need Mikey to be okay. I need to find him.

Sorry for the sad chapter but I hope you liked it anyway.
