BULLIED : Silent Cry

Abby walked into the apartment and called for Mark, "Honey I'm home". 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. Michael was changing. His dad noticed he became very weird and isolated hisself completely. As they sat down for lunch Anthony tried to coversate with his son. "My sponsor is coming by with his son tonight", Anthony said. Michael whined," I don't feel good Dad, I'm going to go to bed. "Son what's wrong? Is it the bullies again?" Anthony asked. "No dad!" Michael replied anxiously, "I'm just tired". Michael then went upstairs and laid down. A couple hours later, Anthony heard a knock at the door. It was his sponsor, Kevin and his son. Anthony had already orderd pizza, so they went straight to the dining room. "Dig in, make yourselves comfortable", Anthony said. Michael decided to come downstairs. As he walked into the dining room, his jaw dropped. He saw Josh, the boy who was ruining his life, sitting at his dining room table. He began to cower in fear. "Come join us Son" Anthony beckoned. At the table, Josh tried to spark friendly as if he didnt already know Michael. Josh gave him a cold stare that read"Act cool or else!". While their parents talked, the boys sat quietly. Josh dared him not to speak. joshs' dad asked him if hehad fun."Yesss Dad" Josh exaggerated. everyone said their goodbyes. Anthony went straight to his room. He didnt notice his sons' odd behavior the whole night.  Michael went to his room and laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He could only imagine what will happen in school tomorrow.

    The next morning, in school,  Josh was by his locker explaining how horrible his night was to his crew. As Michael was walking towards their class room, Josh spotted and stopped him before he could open the door. "Don't think were cool Freak, it will never happen" Josh said viciously. Michael shook his head assuring he understood. As they entered the class, they noticed the teacher wasn't there yet. In the back of the class, his only friend, Thomas, was being hung upside down and tortured for the classes entertainment.  Laughter roared throughout the class.Micheal was furious inside. He couldn't take this anymore but he was to much of a good kid to resort to violence. Abby didn't get to come as soon as she thought she could. Her doctor wanted her to stay in New York awhile longer until they ran more tests. When Abby broke the news to Anthony, he was disappointed. Abby still kept in contact which made anthony very happy. The two were lovers again over the phone. Abby stayed at her grandparents house for the time being. Her cancer wasn't affecting her anymore but at any moment it could attack again. Months went by and Abby was still on stand by.  One day, Abby got a call from the doctor.  "You can go. I've personally found a doctor out there for you, he is a good friend of mine. He'll take good care of you", her doctor explained. "YESSSS!" , Abby screamed, "Thanks Dr. Williams". They said their goodbyes. Abby was excited. Her phone rung again. It was Anthony doing his normal check up on her.  before he could say hello, she screamed excitedly,  "Anthony, I'm coming home! The doctor found me a new doctor, I'll be out there in 3 days". "OK!" Anthony sai with excitement. Michael wouldve been ecstatic to know his mother was coming home but he was in so much fear and so stressed, it was like he wasnt even on earth. The morning his mom was on her way, Michael got up extra early. He went into the attic and pulled out his dads gun safe. It was unlocked. Michael grabbed his dads hand gun and put it in his book bag.  With all Michaels thoughts colliding in his mind,  he didn't know what he was going to do but something had to happen.  Anthony and Michael lived at their home for almost two years and the bullying lasted all the while.  He couldn't take the bullying, the stress and pain any more.

    Abbys' flight landed just in time to make it to pick Michael up after school. After Anthony dropped Michael off at school,  he couldnt wait to go pick abby up later on that day. Anthony pulled up to the airport around noon and waited for Abby. Once her flight landed, he went inside to look for her.  He noticed her from behind and called her name. "ABBY", he shouted,  grinning hard.  She turned around as she heard the voice she knew so well.  She was so happy. "I'm sorry, I won't hurt you anymore. Let me take care of you Abby", he pleaded to her,  holding her tight. "Ok Anthony, I'm trusting you.  Please don't harm me, just love me", abby said. The two then kissed and hugged for what seemed hours. They got in the car and drove off. They held a great conversation. It was almost time to get Michael, so they headed over to his school. Abby couldnt wait to hold her babyboy.
