Hide and Seek (Waycest)

Hide and Seek (Part Three)

         Mikey stared blankly at the wall and waited for his Mother or Father to pick him up. Mikey seemed to wait for what seemed like hours before he saw his Mother walk in with another woman.

"Mikey... This woman is here to take you to your new home."

        Mikey looked at his Mother confused.

"What do you mean? I thought I was coming home with you?"

        Mikey's Mother looked away sheepishly and sighed softly as she looked helplessly at the other women.

"Hello Michael, I've heard that you've been having a hard time coping with the loss of your older brother. Is this true?"

        Mikey refused to pay the women any attention as he glared at his Mother.

"Is this your way of solving your 'problems'? Just get rid of me and everything will be okay then?"

        Mikey laid his head on his folded hands and sighed.

"Do as you wish with me... I don't care anymore..."

        He whispered softly. Mikey's Mother sighed and looked at him defeatedly.

"You need help, Mikey... Dr. Kenzie is willing to help you get over your problems... It hurts your Father and I to watch you suffer every day."

        Mikey sighed and got up and stood in front of Dr. Kenzie and looked her over. She wasn't much to look at; black medium length hair, with soft undertones of brown which hinted that black wasn't her natural color, she had red lipstick on but that was the only hint of makeup that she had on. Her eyes were a soft cotton candy blue, and in Mikey's point of view held a lot of secrets that no one would ever get to know.

        She was young, but had an intelligence around her that stated she was an important person.

        Mikey looked away from the doctor and whispered.

"Might as well take me away now.."

        The doctor nodded and turned to his Mother.

"You should say your goodbye's now because it will be a few months before you'll be able to see him again.''

        Mikey's Mother shook her head and a small smile played on her lips as she tugged on the chapped dead skin with her teeth.

''Nah just take him... oh and make sure that you don't give him back until he's fixed okay?"

With those being her final words she turned the interrogation door handle and slowly opened the door and quickly disappeared down the hallway.

The doctor looked at Mikey sorrowfully.

'I'm sorry your mother acted like that... She's just taking it hard that she's losing another child for awhile, but I promise that things will get better."

Mikey cracked a smile and walked toward the doctor so that he stood in front of her, she looked up at him as if studying him.

"You do realize that the woman that just walked out the door hasn't been my mother in ten years... Right?"

The doctor nodded and pulled out a small notepad and jotted a few things down. Mikey sighed and opened the door and standing in the now open doorway was Officer Stan.

''Are you giving Dr. Kenzie a hard time Mikey?"

Mikey shook his head and glared down at the floor, in Mikey's mind it was Officer Stan's fault that he was in this mess in the first place.

"Leave him alone Stan... I can handle myself thank you."

Dr. Kenzie glared at the Officer with a disapproving look.

''I was just making sure that you were okay... Besides we need this room so you will have to pack up and leave."

Mikey stole a glance at Dr. Kenzie and he saw that she was furious.

"Fine but then you have to move your fat ass out of the way."

A soft growl emerged from deep within the Officer's chest as he turned away and lumbered down the hallway.

Dr. Kenzie sighed as the door softly clicked shut.

"Sorry about that Mikey, that wasn't very professional of us."

Mikey just nodded and sighed inwardly; Gerard and Mikey had always bickered back and forth like that.  At that moment Mikey would have done anything to hear Gerard's voice one last time.
