step brothers ; muke (completed)

its been like 29 months since ive updated this and the book may almost be over, idk yet.

Karen and Andrew have been fighting for the last 3 hours.

Their constant drama as put quite a delay on everything; school for one. The children have missed 6 days, and even Michael and Luke knew the school board would get suspicious if they weren't already.

"Luke?" Michael asked, "Can you tie shoes?" Luke nodded as he funished his converse. "Yeah, why? Can you not?" Luke asked. Michael shook his head and walked to him, sticking his shoe covered foot on the latter's lap. "Tie 'em for me, yeah?" Michael asked, big long eyelashes batting.

Luke blushed and nodded. "Y-Yeah, sure..." Luke mumbled. For some reason, Luke suddenly saw that Michael was really cute, and it made his belly flip.

Luke hurried and tied Michael's converse. "Thanks Lukey!" Michael smiled and hugged the blonde. Luke grinned and hugged back. "Why do you want your shoes on?" He asked. "I'm gonna go to the neighbour's house, they got a dog and I wanna play with it. Wanna come?" Michael asked, eyes hopeful. Luke couldn't help but nod. How could he say no to those eyes?

Luke slipped his converse on the pair opened the screen door. They walked across the yard and to the neighbour's fenced in backyard, where two dogs lyed. "Woah...look at 'em, Luke. They're huge!" Michael exclaimed. "Do you think we can get them out? I want to pet one." Luke said. Michael nodded. "Of course we can."

Michael unlocked the fence door, but was suddenly pushed to the ground, trampled on by the dogs. "Get them off me, Luke! Luke!" Michael screamed. The blonde didn't know what to do, too shocked. He couldn't move, but Michael couldn't either. The dogs continued licking, scratching, and stepping on him, and all Michael could do was hold his hands on his face and scream and cry. 

Finally, Luke realized he had to do something. "Mitchell!" He yelled, running to the house, "Mitchell! Jack!" He ran inside and up the stairs, screaming for someone, even his mom or dad to help. Michael was in serious pain and he wasn't strong enough to physically help. "Luke? Why are you screaming? Where's Michael?" Jack asked, Mitchell beside him. "I-I'm so sorry! T-The dogs- Michael's hurt, I..." Luke couldn't even form a sentence. "Come on!" He screamed and ran back downstairs.

One of the dogs had left, but the other was still sniffing and scratching Michael. "Get away from him!" Mitchell yelled, and pushed the dog away. The dog immediately bit into his arm, but that didnt stop him. He still continued to push him until he was off of his little brother. The dogs proceeded to run off, leaving the mess.

They all look at Michael.

He was shaking, bleeding, and crying. Scratches and gashes covered his skin, and his shirt was basically torn off. "Michael...buddy, can you hear me?" Mitchell asked as he bent down next to him. Michael weakly nodded, his ribcage and throat too sore to speak. "What are you boys doing in my yard?" A voice asked. They all looked up, seeing an old man. The owner of the dogs.

"Get out of my yard! I'll call the cops on you!" He yelled as he waved a flip phone around. The didn't move. They couldn't move Michael, it would hurt too bad. But the couldn't have to cops on them.

"Im sorry..." Mitchell whispered before throwing Michael into his arms. Michael screamed, a new wave a tears and pain breaking through as his sensitive body throbed.

Michael continued to sob while they all left the man's yard and walked towards their house. "We can't take him home, he needs a hospital." Jack mumbled. "How're we gonna get him there though? You know mom and your dad ain't gonna help." Mitchell asked.

"Just get him to a hospital..." Luke pleaded, "Can't you...steal a car? Or something?"

Mitchell thought. "Luke, go get May. Jack," Mitchell slowly handed Michael to Jack," I'll be back in ten minutes at the most."

"You can't walk around with a bloody shirt on." Jack mumbled, "Luke, go get him a shirt too." Luke nodded and ran inside.

Mitchell started walking to his friend Andre's house, which was only a few minutes away. Andre was 17 and could drive, and he owed Mitchell. It didn't take long for him to get there, and he knocked on the door. Seconds later, the door opened. "Hello- Mitch! The fuck happened to you man?"

"Can you take me and some people to the hospital? It's a emergency." He asked. Andre nodded and got into his car, Mitchell getting into the passenger seat.

They drove back to the house and picked up Michael, Luke, Jack, and May. "How is he?" Mitchell asked. "Do you have to ask?" Jack mumbled, holding Michael. Luke looked at Michael.

His eyes were puffy, face bruised, body now numb.

He was silent.
