He mended my Broken Heart

Chapter 18

Micheal's POV

Okay, I was out of place now. Tita pulled Micky away for a second. They should be having a really serious talk.

I looked at the young boy who was also staring at me. He was really cute. I decided to sit beside him and start a conversation. "Hi. I'm Micheal." I said as I sat down. "Hi. My name is Cobi." He said looking up at me. His voice was little and was shakey, he surely is afraid or something. We sat together quietly; I was thinking what to talk about. "Are you Micky's boyfriend?" The little guy was talking like a dude now. I smiled at him. "No. But I want to." I smirked. "So you like her?" his attention was now at me. Good. I don't want this young boy hear what Micky and her mom are talking about. "Well, yes. I like her." I smiled widely. I never thought I could admit this to a young boy and Micky's brother. "Why don't you tell her then?" I was moved by Cobi's question. I can't I tell her anyway? My eyes searched for Micky, and then I saw her and her mom in the kitchen. Micky's eyes were swollen again; I see she is also filled with anger. "I said I don't want Mom!" Micky suddenly burst out, making Cobi jump out of his seat. I started to feel uneasy for the young boy. "Ahh. Do you want to eat something?" I suggested just to get his attention back. He beamed at me, and nodded. "I love McDonald's. Micky too, right?"  I smiled at him and remembered how Micky would die to eat all fries in that fast-food chain. "Yea. C'mon." He stood up and I signaled him to wait for a bit. "I'm gonna tell your mom first." He pouted for a bit and that caught my sight. "What?" I asked. "She's not my mom. My mom died last month. But Mama Michelle is my second Mom." I smiled at him. He was a good boy, obviously.

I walked slowly trying not to interrupt Micky and her Mom's convo. "Tita. Would it be fine if I take Cobi for a drive?" Micky and Tita turned to me. Tita Michelle smiled and walked near me while Micky avoided my gaze. "Thank you so much Micheal. Micky and I have really a lot to talk about. Please be safe and come back soon." She kissed my cheeks and I wave goodbye. Michelle was a reay great and beautiful woman. I can't imagine how her husband cheated, as far as how I could not imagine my Dad leaving my mom.

We were now in my car. "Buckle the seatbelt young man." He smiled and did buckled himself as I also did. "Is Micky mad at me?" He asked me as he sat properly after doing his seatbelt. "No. I don't think so. She's just... ahh, adjusting because there is someone new in the family." But inside my head I know this is not a good situation for Cobi. "I hope so." He said. He talks like a matured one though.

A few minutes later we reached McDonald's. "What do you want to eat?" I looked down at Cobi who stands exactly the height of my hip. "I want fries and a cheeseburger." He smiled at me. "A bff fries and 2 orders of cheeseburger."

As we sat down our chairs, he immediately grabbed some fries and put it on his mouth. I realized how he looked like Micky. "I saw the cashier staring at you like she likes you." He stated with a mouth full of fries. "Easy on eating bro." I smirked as I handed him his drink. "Thanks." He said again. "But you only like Micky, right?" I looked at him while biting my burger. "Yes. But that's our secret okay?" He nodded as he drank the coke. "Because your my friend now, I will keep that secret." He said while opening the wrapper of the burger. "But you should tell her soon. She's pretty and many men would want to her boyfriend to." He was right with that. But of course, I won't allow that. I will tell her soon, after all of this troubles she are into.

After a few more hours, as we reached home. We saw Micky sitting in the couch. "Where have you been?" He asked coldly. "Sorry, we went to walk in the park after eating." I answered her seeing Cobi looking down. "I guess I should be going." I told them as I felt like my presence is not needed now. "Why?" Cobi looked up with a cute puppy look asking me not to leave. "Micheal has a life too, Cobi." She said coldly. "Why don't you go up? The room right after the stairs is yours." Cobi just nodded and ran immediately towards the stairs. "Could you at least he's too young for you to be so rude?" I told Micky as I made my way to the door as she just rolled her eye at me. "He's not doing anything to harm and hurt you." I directly went out the house without hearing anything from Micky. I understand she's trying to adjust and seeing Cobi at home would hurt her reminding about what her dad have done. I hope she’s fine.

Micky’s POV

As soon as Micheal left, I barged my way to my room. I just couldn’t help but hate Cobi, he is my father’s son from another woman and it makes my heart constrict. I hate him. I couldn’t even get it why mom brought this child in here.

As I reached the last step of the stairs, I saw Cobi standing before my door. “What?” I asked raising a brow at him. “Are you mad at me?” his voice was cracking and his eyes were red. He should be crying, and I do not feel sorry about whatever I did. “Do you want me to leave?” he said as I shoved him away from my door. “No, I want you to get inside your room and clean up.” I went inside and slammed the door. I know I am being too rude, but I just don’t wanna talk to him or see him.

I leap to my bed and face the ceiling. Yea, Micheal was right. I should not be that rude to him. But no one would understand the way I feel. I just wanna understand why the hell that kid needs to live with us. And if this things gonna be forever then I need to adjust, and I freaking need to accept the fact that suddenly, I have a brother.

I was just dumped in my bed when I heard someone knock my door. I stood up lazily and walked to my door and as I opened it I saw Cobi looking down. “What do you need?” I asked him folding my arms and avoiding his sight. “Mama Michelle said, she’s leaving for work tonight.” I looked down at the very innocent child. "I'm sorry aboutn a while ago." I said sighing. "Do you cook?" he beamed and look up at me. "Yes. Are you hungry?" he just nodded and walked ahead down the stairs.

He settled himself in out white kitchen table and looked at me as if he was watching a show. "What do you want to eat?" he smiled at me. He was really a nice boy, I could feel it. "Chicken" he screamed. "Hey! Don't shout." he giggled and bowed his head. "I'm sorry."

As I had finished cooking, I placed the food on the table and grabbed the leg part of the chicken. Cobi grabbed on as well. "Do you like Micheal?” he asked while swallowing the chicken meat. I stood from sitting and went to the fridge, took two glasses and poured juice unto it, avoiding Cobi’s question. “Don’t ask me anything, ok? Were not good yet.” He pouted and bowed his head again eating his chicken gently.

I don’t even know how to answer that. I have a lot running in my mind. I admit, he makes me feel better, happy and carefree. I just don’t know how long would I feel like this with him. What if I fall in love with him? And what if he leaves me after that? What if he’d hurt me? No! I’d better be alone than be hurt and be broken again.
