Michael Part II

Tears

The next morning Michael woke up to an empty bed and the smell of bacon. His stomach growled at the smell. Michael pushed himself out of bed and made his way to the kitchen.

"Good morning honey! How'd you sleep?" Mama asked as she kissed Michael's cheek as he sat down across from Mika.

"Alright. I didn't miss breakfast did I?" Michael asked as he rubbed his tired eyes.

"Yes, but I'm making you something right now," mama said as she turned around to continue to cook.

"So, may 1st?" Paloma asked with a huge smile on her face.

Michael smiled and nodded at her. He then went to smile at Mika, but he had his face buried in his phone. Michael sighed.

"What are you sighing about love?" Mika asked with his head still buried in his phone.

"Oh nothing...just that my lover is ignoring me..." Michael said and then sighed again.

"I'm not ignoring you," Mika said with a smile as he placed his phone down and walked up to Michael. "I'm just rearranging some tour dates that were scheduled in May and the week before."

"Why are you rescheduling them?" Michael asked confused as Mika sat on his lap.

"Because we're getting married?" Mika informed Michael.

"We are? Hmmm..This is the first I'm hearing of this.." Michael said jokingly to Mika.

Mika glared at him and then gave him a big wet kiss on the lips. Mama smacked the back of Mika's head.

"Not in the kitchen you two. Now let him eat Mika," mama demanded.

"Yes mama..." Mika said childishly as he parted from Michael.

Michael laughed at Mika as he pouted in the seat across from him.

"Shut it and eat," Mika glared at Michael.

Michael couldn't help but laugh at Mika's childishness as he ate.

After breakfast Mika had to leave for an interview and photo shoot. Michael and the guys decided stay home and lay around.

"Someone get my phone," Michael said as his phone rang on the coffee table.

"Get it yourself," Ezra said as he sat on the floor feeding Nola.

Michael shook his head and buried it into the couch.

"Hello," Fortune said as he answered Michael's phone.

"Is..m..my dad there?" Jacob stuttered through his tears.

"Yea. Are you okay Jacob?" Fortune asked as he walked over to Michael whom sat up.

"Put my dad on!" Jacob yelled.

Fortune tossed Michael his phone and rolled his eyes as he sat back down next to Ezra.

"Jacob, what's wrong?" Michael asked with concern.

"Dad their dead.." Jacob cried.

"Who Jacob?" Michael asked worriedly.

Jacob continued to cry.

"Jacob?!"

"Mom, Stevie, Sophie, the triplets, and Ariana and Vinny.." Jacob cried.

"Jacob don't joke. Put your mother on," Michael asked as tears filled his eyes.

Everyone in the living room stared at him with worried looks.

"Jacob?!"

"Dad, I'm not joking!"

Michael got another incoming call.

"Jacob don't hang up," Michael said as he answered the other call. "Hello?"

It was the police department. Jacob wasn't lying. Michael's face drained as he dropped the phone to the floor. Thomas ran up to him.

"Dad what's wrong?" Thomas asked.

Michael didn't answer. He couldn't think. He couldn't breathe.

"Jacob? What happened?" Thomas asked as he picked up Michael's phone.

Michael still sat in shock. Jacob told Thomas what had happened. When Thomas hung up he struggled to tell everyone else.

It took a minute to sink in before Ezra broke down. Fortune cried silently to himself as he tried to comfort Ezra. Fitz and Mikey sat silently staring at Michael whom was still in shock.

"Dad?" Thomas asked as he knelt in front of Michael. Tears began to run down his face as his father remained silent.

Ezra slowly stood up and took off to his room with Fortune and Nola. As soon as Ezra left Mikey broke down, causing Fitz to breakdown. Thomas continued to kneel in front of Michael, waiting for some kind of reaction or emotion.

"I..I..need to go lay down," Michael said as he quickly made his way to his room.

Thomas tried chasing after him, but Michael had slammed the door and locked it. He gave up after a minute and called Mika.

"Hello?" Mika answered.

"Mika you need to get home," Thomas said trying not to breakdown.

"Why? What's wrong with Michael?" Mika asked worriedly.

"He's fine. Well he's not. Non of us are. Just please. Get home," Thomas begged.

"I'm leaving now," Mika said as he hung up.

By the time Mika arrived home mama and his sisters were already there and informed of what had happened. Michael was still locked in his room as everyone else was in the living room either crying or comforting someone else.

"What the hell happened?!" Mika asked worriedly as he walked into the living room.

"There was a fire," Thomas started as he wiped his face.

Mika sat next to him and gave him a worried look.

"Everyone, except Jacob, Josiah, and Jason were in it," Thomas finished before tears started to fall from his eyes again.

"They didn't...?" Mika asked as tears started to fill his eyes. As soon as Thomas shook his head and cried harder Mika broke down.

"Michael. Where's Michael?" Mika asked looking around the room.

"He's been locked in your room since we found out," Mikey answered.

Mika jumped up and made his way to the locked bedroom. He didn't even knock. He grabbed the key that was above the doorframe and made his way into the room.

Michael had cried himself to sleep. Mika shut the door and sat next to Michael. He then buried his head into Michael's back and cried.

Michael woke up and started to cry with him. They held onto each other the rest of the night.
