He didnt answer. As she walked down the hallway, she could hear noises coming from the bedroom.  She slowly opened the door. As she stood there in the doorway, she was shocked at what she saw. Mark was in their bed, making love to another woman. Abby wasnt even upset. She knew they were coming to an end. She walked over to the closet, grabbed her suitcase and packed her things. She called Anthony as soon as she left Marks home. Anthony picked up, "Hello?",  said Anthony. "I'm coming there in a few days, I want to work things out and I'm not with Mark anymore", Abby explained.  Anthony, with tears in his eyes, said, "I love you, come on, just call a day before so you can surprise Michael after school". Abby transferred her belongings. She told her boss about the move and had to wait for her last check before she could leave New York. hing he could to make her better. He was willing to stop drinking and all around, be a better man. He wanted to fix what he started. He always told Abby, they couldn't be mad at each other forever.

    Even though Michael was still paying josh off, the bullying continued. One day,  as Michael was walking home, Josh and his crew spotted him. They ran down on Michael and crowded around him.  Michael pleaded, "Please! Leave me alone! Don't do this!". Josh and his whole crew started to beat on him mercilessly.

   Michael came home with a black eye. Anthony noticed as soon as Michael stepped in the door and became furious. "This is enough" he yelled. The next day Anthony came to Michaels school and went off on the principal. "One of your students is pumbling on my kid, what are you people doing about this? How many times do I have to call or come in here? Do I have to pumble on one of you?" Anthony frantically yelled in the principals face. He was immediately escorted  out of the school and off the premises. The principal was very upset with Anthony but understood where he was coming from as a father. He went to  Michaels class and told him to point the bullys out. But Michael refused. He was drowned in fear. As he stood in front of the class with the principal, his eyes drew over to Josh.  Josh had a vicious look on his face that read "You better keep quiet!".The principal caught a glimpse of Joshs' facial expressions toward Michael. He pointed towards Josh and said, "Come with me Mr. Gibbings, I need to speak with you". Michael was paralyzed with fear and tried to convince the principal it wasnt Josh. "Quiet Michael, sit down" the principal said sternly.Feeling bad for his friend, Thomas whispered to Michael, "What did you do?!". Michael looked back and said, "I don't know" as he laid his head on the desk. Michael just wanted to disappear off the face of the earth. Michael skipped his after school program and went straight home. After he did his  homework, he went to bed early without dinner. The next morning Michael told his dad he didn't feel so good and it wanted to stay home from school. His father noticed his son was very gloomy and looked weak. He let him stay home and told him to get some rest. Michael spent the whole day trying to find ways to make Josh happy. He knew that once he returned to school, there would be hell to pay. But Michael was bored and wished he would of just went to school. Michael loved school and his teachers but the bullying made it hard for him to enjoy it. Anthony also took the day off and went to an early AAA recovery meeting. He was two weeks sober. for Anthony, things were slowly changing for the better.
