Chapter 24: Parents

LIV
The next day Michael came and picked me up to go out. While we were out our mum called saying we needed to get home now. As of right now we are on our way home.
"What if something horrible happened? Like what if your parents aren't actually dead and that's why mum called? What if she wants you to move out? What if-" he started. "Mikey calm down Mum probably is calling for us to help her clean the house or something. I'm not leaving. I promise." I said as we pulled into the driveway. He calmed down and we started to walk in. "Kids, please sit down." She said as we walked in. Mikey started to shake nervously and Angelina & I grabbed his hands and leaned on his shoulder. "W-we came to the decision that y-your father and I are getting a d-divorce." Mikey started to shake vigorously. "Mikey calm down it will be okay we'll get through this together!" I said holding both his hands. "No it's not okay because I know why they're getting divorced!" He screamed looking at mum angry. "You never wanted me! You'll just go to court so dad gets full custody of me and you get Angelina and Liv! But I won't let it happen because all you two every did was beat me and you still do when no ones around! It's not fair! I shouldn't be beat and the girls shouldn't be drug into this! You know what I'm glad you're never home, because then I don't have to be by you idiots!" He screamed looking around the room, but then quickly getting up and leaving. "Ang I'm going to get Mikey and you pack your things. We'll meet you outside." I was on my way out when I heard mum screaming my name. But all I felt was a slap, kick, and punch. I looked up to see Michaels parents; my foster parents. I crawled to the door and opened it. I went to the porch to see Michael sitting on the porch steps. "Do you even really love me?" He said with his head in his hands. "Lots." I said sitting next to him. "Did they ever touch you?" He asked looking up at me. Seeing my state made him cringe. "Yeah just now." I said leaning on his shoulder. "Don't worry Angelina's the special kid. They won't hit her because she's not as emo as me." I said rolling my eyes. Michael chuckled and put his hand on my knee. "How about we stay with Luke?" He said putting his head on mine. I smiled. "Yeah I think that's a good idea."
