Michael knew from the multiple missed calls he had from you that something bad had happened. He wasn't able to answer since he was working but now that his shift was over he was walking to your house. Both your parents cars were gone from the drive way so he could only guess that you were the only one home. You were asleep in your room with a few tear stains on your cheeks. You were also wearing one of his flannels he left at your house. Michael didn't want to wake you so he laid down pressing you against him but in the end you woke up. You turned around to look at him then laid your head on his chest.
"What happened?" He asked quietly while moving some hair behind your ear. You shrugged and buried your face in his chest again. He laid his head on yours rubbing your back slowly.
"Come on sweetheart. I know something is wrong" he mumbled.
"My parents got divorced" you finally told him.
"Baby girl" he breathed out holding you tighter. After sitting in silence for a little while with Michael just holding you he spoke up.
"Maybe it's better this way"
"No it's not" you yelled hitting his chest over and over again.
"Stop it baby girl stop it" he groaned grabbing your wrists.
"It's not fair" you cried turning away from him. Michael wrapped his arms around you again and rested his chin on your shoulder.
"Think about how many times you came over to my house because they were arguing. Remember? Once every week we stayed up till midnight playing video games then sleep at my house. Listen babe I know you don't want them to get divorced but it was the best thing to do" Michael said softly.
"Your right" you sighed turning back into his chest.
"Let's go" he smirked standing up. You followed him down the stairs and outside. Michael suddenly stopped walking and crouched down. You knew what he had in mind and climbed on his back. He held under your thighs as he galloped down the sidewalk to his house. He didn't stop to put you down as he carefully went upstairs and into his room. Then he dropped you on the bed and went to his x-box.
"Just for old times sake" he winked. Michael sat on the bed and pulled you between his legs like always. His arms held a controller over your stomach and yours rested on his hands.
"Feeling better?" He asked after a few rounds of call of duty.
"Your the best" you told him. He chuckled and shut his tv off then laid down with you in his arms.
"I love you baby girl"
"I love you too" you replied smiling.
"Goodnight" he kissed the top of your head.
