Depths of the Mind [MalexMale] (ON HOLD)

Chapter [3]: My Way Of Saying Thanks

A/N: Picture of Lisa Parker, probably upset with Michael for what he decided to do in the previous chapter. Because meh. :-)

~~~~~~~~

(Michael's POV)

''Mike, why did you stop?''

I just stared at the door of Isaac's room, making everyone stop behind me. My brain decided that this was the right moment to have an inner debate. Great timing indeed.

No, I didn't change my mind about this. I didn't know why, but I felt nervous. I was actually nervous about his answer. I was about to ask him if he wanted to come and live with me. We've met just yesterday for Christ's sake.

I shouldn't be disappointed if he refuses. I didn't have to and a part of me knew I should see this in an objective manner but for some reason, I couldn't. Not just after I told him that I trust him and asked him to give me the benefit of the doubt. I knew his answer will affect me, no matter what would it be.

What person would say yes to such a sudden question anyways?

Why am I thinking about this again?

''I knew you'd actually think this through Michael.'' Lisa said to me in a proud tone as I looked at her.''It's not too late to call this off, you know.''

Ha, sure.. The second I agreed to this, it was at the same time too late to back down.

In the corner of my eye I could see Jason giving me a nervous look. I shook my head at Lisa, making her let out a frustrated sigh. I gave Jason a reassuring smile and seeing it, he visibly relaxed. He returned it and I focused my attention on the door again.

You can no longer back down so stop thinking about it. Just open the damn door. You're worrying Jason.

I twisted the knob, opening the door and the second I did, I could see Isaac standing on his bed. I could swear it was in the same spot when I left. I couldn't help but think that he waited for me to get back.

Stop imagining things Michael for God's sake.

His eyes landed on me as I got in and I swear I was feeling nervous as hell. He had a blank expression on his face, but it gradually stared to chance as Jason and Lisa entered the room. He had his eyes fixed on Jason and suddenly, his facial features twisted in anger, surprising me.

''What are you doing here?!'' He spat at Jason and I could swear he became a few shades paler. Isaac got up from the bed a second after, looking at Jason with pure hate in his eyes. Hell.. He even had his hands balled in fists and that was only a reaction at Jason's presence.

''Isaac, calm down now.'' I said softly but in a firm tone, because I felt it was the right moment to speak up, or the situation would escalate and I already knew it would be something  I didn't want to witness. ''Tell me why are you angry and maybe we can-''

''He fucking threw me here!'' Isaac cut me off, pointing at Jason with his finger. Jason looked like he was about to be sick. His son hated him.. ''It's his fault! MAKE him leave because I don't want to see him unless he gets me out. If not I hope he.. I hope he dies!''

Now.. that was something else.

Isaac was agitated.

I've seen him indifferent, embarrassed, sad and angry but I never saw him agitated. That was a sight I didn't like to see because he was unpredictable. I think even he didn't know what he will do.

His breathing sped up as he looked like he was going to lunge for Jason any time now. If I let this happen, I could never get him out because he'll be categorized as a violent patient. Plus, Lisa was here to watch too..
