michael's head fell back, immediately waking up. "remind me never to go shopping with you, michael, i asked you thrice is this cute?"

"yeah sure, laur, i wanna eat." michael whines, standing up to kiss her lips. "let's go get pizza."

"not until you tell me this is cute."

"it's decent, it shows too much skin for my liking." he frowns, trying to tug the hem of the shirt down past her belly-button. "i like the words though."

'teenage dirtbag' was across the top in black letters. "babe, take the damn shirt off before i do it for you."

"do it,"

lauren and michael stumble into the dressing room, him throwing the shirt to the ground. his hands reached for her bra, her watching in suspense until there was banging on the door. "sex is not allowed unless you want to be escorted to a police car."

"oh fuck me." michael exclaims, leaving the stall, letting lauren change. the woman whose bad threatened them backed away when she saw how intimidating michael looked, little to know he is as soft as a puppy.

they went to pay for everything except for that shirt, then left out. that's when michael's breath hitches. "laur, that's my mom walking toward us."

"we're going to say hello." lauren rushes, pulling michael's hand. he tried pulling back, but he didn't want to hurt lauren. "mrs. clifford?"

she turns around, then drops the bag she has in her hand. that day they visited him at his house, she didn't get a clear look at her son, but now she has and she regrets ever disowning him. "michael!"

he stares at her, mentally cursing lauren. "hi," he mutters, lauren taking the bags from his hands, and they keys from his pocket. "what-"

"shush, im going to the car."

"you own a car? last time i saw you you were begging calum for his." karen grins, stepping toward him, making him step back. "michael, im your mother."

"you disowned me because i dropped out of school. that was a stupid reason."

"your plan was to become a band. did that work out for you?"

"yes, it actually did. we just signed our contract, and we're meeting with the producer next week. we're recording our first song."

"who's we?"

"cal, luke, ash, and i."

"then who was that girl?"

"my girlfriend, why do you have so many questions?"

"because ive missed you." karen hugs michael, him hesitating to do the same. he thought about how lauren felt reunited with her gram and how happy she became, so he thought being with his mum should make him happier. "come home and see the family, please?"

"that's too big of a step, mum. i-i just told tyla she isn't my half sister, i fucked up again." michael sighs, letting go of karen.

"she's easy to forgive, come on. i wanna meet your girlfriend!"

"muum!" he whines, his cheeks getting red.

"im serious, follow my car because we moved."
