LONG LOST CHILDREN - Malum

trigger warning: mentioning of alcohol and drug addiction

explicit

Michael Gordon Clifford.

Some spoke the name with fear, some with disgust, some with sympathy.

But if you think Michael cared what people thought of him, you are wrong.

Michael gave no fucks.

He sure saw the fearful looks on the younger students faces and the judgemental looks on the faces of students his age but what did they know anyway.

Michael had one simple rule.

The rest of the world didn't care about him, so he didn't care about the rest of the world. Simple.

Although Michael wished someone would care, even just a little. But he would never dare to admit that.

His parents fought everyday ever since he was a toddler.

They were too caught up in their arguments to take care of their four year old son.

Michael only lived through this nightmare because of his best friend Luke.

They met in kindergarten and went to the same elementary school.

Michael used to go over to Luke's house after school everyday to eat with Luke's family.

Luke's mum was pretty much his mum too and raised him together with Luke and his two older brothers.

Michael was entirely grateful that Liz Hemmings gave him a save space, because his own broken home sure as hell wasn't.

When Michael turned twelve, his parents finally got a divorce.

His mum took care of him ever since, his dad left them without further notice and Michael hadn't seen him ever since.

Michael learned to get along with his mother again. It took a while to build something on the ruins of their stained relationship but eventually they had a real mother-son bond.

Michael was still over at Lukes house two days a week after school, that house had been his home for so long he couldn't just stop being there.

But the other five days he went home to spend time with his mother and help her around the house.

Michael thought finally his life would take a go the better and that he would finally be able to learn to life a normal life.

But some people just don't deserve a happy life. And he soon realised that he was one of those people.

Because the summer Luke turned fifteen, he was diagnosed with cancer.

Michael was devastated and terrified.

He couldn't lose his best and only friend.

Michael spend more and more time at Lukes house to help the suffering boy. He was there for Luke through all of the doctors appointments, hospital stays and chemo.

It was actually looking good for the younger boy and they both were sure they would kick cancers ass together.

It was Luke and Michael against the world.

Michaels relationship with his mum suffered under the amount of time he spend with Luke and his mum was getting annoyed and hurt by the constant absence of her only child.

Michael fought a lot with her because he felt like she didn't understand how much he had to lose.

After about a year if cancer treatments it seemed like the two boys actually made it through the hard times.
