Let's pretend the legal age is 19

"Michael can we talk?" The lilac haired boys mother said and she stood by the door.

"What mother?" Michael asked with a bit of a tone.

Karen sighed and walked in, sitting on his bed.

"Why didn't you tell me you were with your teacher?"

"Because this was gonna happen! You put the love of my life in jail mum!"

"Mikey, I didn't know you two were in love. I thought he was forcing you into doing these things."

"Whatever mum, it's too late anyways. He's in jail, I haven't seen him in two months, and I won't see him for four years!" Michael exclaimed as the tears in his eyes began to come out.

"Can we bail him out? Is that something we can do?" Karen asked the crying boy.

"Y-you'll b-bail him o-out?"

"Of course honey, I realized I made a mistake, he makes you happy and I'm awful for taking that away from you. I can see how much you care for him and I see how much he cares for you."

Michael smiled, "Thank you mum."


One year.

A lot has happened over that year.

Michael turned eighteen, Ashton got a boyfriend, Calum is Ashton's boyfriend.

It's legal since Ashton is nineteen.

Lucky bastard.

Michael's mom has been planning to go to court to prove Luke not guilty, but it wouldn't have worked since it was illegal underage sex.

Michael has stopped crying himself to sleep, but he still cries a few times after leaving the science class he used to love. Thank god he graduated.

Tomorrow Michael will turn nineteen and he couldn't wait another second.

He would finally be legal.
He would be free.
He could be with Luke.

Michael often wonders if Luke ever thinks about him too.

Does Luke cry because he misses Michael? Yes.

Does Luke not sleep well sometimes because he misses Michael? Yes.

Does Luke even want Michael anymore? More than anything in the world.

As Michael's last day of being eighteen, he should be spending it with family and friends, but he rather stay inside all day and look at pictures of him and his favorite blonde.

"Hey Mikey." Ashton said as he walked into the lilac haired boys room.

"H-hi A-ashy."

"Tomorrow you're legal." He said with a smile.

Michael slightly smiled. "Yeah, I am."

"Still miss him?"

"S-still m-miss h-him."

"Calum's seeing him today."

"L-lucky him."

"Do you want to see him after he see's Luke?"

Michael nodded as a response.

"Let's watch Mean Girl's to pass the time yeah?"

Michael slightly smiled, Mean Girl's was his and Luke's favorite movie.
"Y-yeah l-let's w-watch it."

The movie had finally finished and once it was over, loud knocks were being thrown at the front door.

Michael got up and walked downstairs, Ashton following behind.

The lilac haired boy opened the door to be faced with a extremely happy Calum.

Michael moved so Calum can walk in, and Calum did just that.

"H-hey C-cal." Mikey said as he closed and locked the door.

"You seem really happy babe, what's up?" Ashton asked his boyfriend.

"Luke. It's Luke." Calum said as he jumped up and down.

Michael and Ashton both looks confused.

"He's coming home. Luke is coming home."
