Night Bruises

I sat around down stairs hanging out with Ryan, Matt, and Mark trying not to be a baby about Ryan and Matt moving out. I mean... I wad going to miss having two loud crazy uncles/ big brothers that Mark called his "boys".
I loved Matt and Ryan a lot.

I sat on on the couch curled up on Marks lap as we were watching The Amazing World of Gumball. I could heard Matt and Ryan packing up which made me heart sink more and more. Each time I saw cardboard box I would frown and quickly turned trying not to think about it.

"Maddie? Are you okay?", Mark asked raising a eye brow. "You look really pale",.

"I'm.. fine", I said.

"There was a dramatic pause so what is wrong?", Mark said.

"Nothing, Mark, I'm just gonna hate not having Ryan, Ian, and Matt", I said with a sigh.

"I know honey its gonna be a big change but Yami is here and I will try to have people over", Mark said. "I know us both need to be social plus do you really want Ian here",.

"Not really", I said. Mark did make a point because Ian was okay but he always seemed off like he wasn't even living in the present.

"See? Ryan wants to leave and spend some time with Ian and to be completely honest I truly want Ian gone", Mark said in a whisper careful for Ian, Matt, and Ryan not to hear.

Our thoughts were crushed when we heard footsteps on the stairs. There was Yami.

"Did you have a good nap?", Mark said trying to sound joyful.

"Yea...the bed was really nice", Yami said. The rest of the day Yami and I hung out and got ice cream then night came and I had gotten in my pj and called Felix and began talking to him. In the middle of our conversation I heard a cry from outside of my window and continued thinking nothing of it.

"So Yami came by and...", I began to tell Felix but stopped because Mike was sitting at my window seal. "Hey Felix I gotta go..okay bye",.

I hung up my call and walked over to Mike, obviously sensing something was wrong. Mike had his hoodie up and I could hear a soft whimper escaping his mouth.

"Mike...", I said reaching my hand out to him. Mike quickly jumped on me in a hug.

"Maddie, I'm scared... I don't know what to do anymore", Mike rambled in between his tears. I couldn't see his face but I was a bit stronger than him and sat him on my bed.

"Mike what's wrong?", I asked worried. Mike put down his hoodie and he had a black eye and bruises down his face!

"Holy crap!", I exclaimed running into my bathroom and grabbing a wet towel with water on it before returning to Mike.

"Maddie, they followed me and they beat me up", Mike said. "I was only trying to protect you but I made crap worse for myself, me and my big mouth", Mike said as I applied the towel on his eye.

"Okay we can talk about this in the morning", I said. "Your safe here with Mark and I",.

I gave Mike my bed and went to sleep in my office chair listening to music and looking at Mikes eye that was swollen. I don't understand.
