Mikey's POV

"Grace, I got it," I smiled, grabbing a package off of my sister. Grace sighed, following me into the kitchen where I put the package on the table for her. She looked at me with her arms crossed.

"Mikey, I can carry a package, you know that right?" She asked and I nodded looking at the package.

"I just don't want to lose you too," She sighed coming over to me, embracing me into a hug. What people don't know is that Grace is literally the last member of my family.

Both my parents died, my mom got cancer, and then my dad died from a broken heart, its actually possible. But now, my sister and I decided to get checked up on to see if we had cancer, just in case, and it turns out my sister has breast cancer, and I am trying everything to help her get better.

"You are not gonna lose me," Grace said putting her hands on my shoulders with a smile. "Now go to school before you're late for the last week of school until summer." she playfully hit me, causing me to chuckle and nodded, obeying my sisters orders.

In school, I am a completely different person. I don't talk to anyone because they all believe I am gay, and don't want to sit beside me just in case my 'gayness' rubs off of them. I opened my locker, taking my books out, and jumped when it slammed.

Antonio Wacker, my infamous bully was the one to slam it shut. He smirked at me, as his minions backed him up. I just put my bag on the ground, and putting my back against the lockers, as Antonio and his three minions began punching me, but I didn't fight back because there was no fucking point.

"See ya tomorrow Barone," Antonio evilly laughed before leaving me on the ground with a bloody nose and a possible broken rib. I grabbed my bag, holding onto my side where my ribs were as I went to the nurse.

She sighed, before allowing me in a head of the other students. She knew my sister Grace, and she always helped me, and never told the school about the bullying or she never told Grace and I am eternally grateful for it.

"I think they broke my rib," I told her as she began to clean the blood from my nose, as she sighed.

"Mikey, I think its time to tell Grace," She told me as I lifted my top, to show her the forming bruise on my rib cage.

"Yeah, its definitely time," She sighed examining it. I shook my head at her.

"Melissa, don't tell her." She looked up at me, shaking her head, in disagreement.

"It's only bruised," she informed me, and I nodded. "I am telling Grace, its been too long now," Melissa sighed sitting on the chair.

"God, she's gonna kill me for not telling her sooner," Melissa said shaking her head. I looked at her.

"She's not gonna kill you, she's just gonna say a lot of words she won't mean," I shrugged as the door opened and fucking Bryce Hall walked in. He looked at me then to Melissa.

"I'll just come back later Mel," I stood up grabbing my bag, before Bryce could leave.

"I was just leaving," I told Bryce and Melissa, before I turned around to look at Melissa.

"I guess, I'll see you tomorrow," She nodded with a sigh.

"I'll tell Edith to allow you in so you won't have to wait." I nodded before I moved past Bryce, who looked a little shocked at the fact I could actually talk.

I sat in my usual place in English class, off by the side, with an empty seat beside me, while everyone else had someone to sit beside.
