MICHAEL
"What the fuck did you do!" Ben yelled shoving Jack.

"Why do you care!" Jack yelled shoving Ben back.

"Michael, find Luke and get him I to the car." Ben said.

I stood there in shock. "Go!" He yelled.

I nodded running towards the woods.



•Flashback•
"You asshole!" My yelled at my dad.

"I'm the asshole?" He yelled back.

"I'm not the one walking out on my family!" She yelled I could hear the fear in her voice.

"Fuck you and our son!" He screamed slamming the door.

"Asshole!" My mom yelled again breaking down in tears.

"Michael!" She yelled to me. I unlocked my door and walked out to her.

"What the fuck did he say to you?" I said.

"Michael you don't need to know."

"No, I do if my mom's crying about something I need to know." She shook her head. "I'm not 5 mom. I'm 16. Tell. Me."

"He told me if was a slut." She cried harder.

"You're not a slut mom." I said pulling her into a hug.

"Michael, I know I told you I wouldn't divorce him until you moved out or were legal. But I can't do it anymore."

"Do what you want to mom." I said. "I'm not running your marriage."

"I'm going to do it Michael. I'm sorry."

•One year later•
"Mr. and Mrs. Clifford," the judge said. "How long have you two been married?"

"19 years." My mom said.

"And you are filing for a divorce?"

My mom nodded. "It will be better for me and my son." She looked back at me.

"Have you discussed anything about custody?" He asked them.

My mom nodded again. "I will have full custody. While Daryl will see him when we make plans to see him."

The judge nodded. "Sounds very reasonable."

"You ruined this marriage!" My dad yelled at me.

"How the fuck did I ruin this!" I yelled.

"You ruin everything Michael!" He yelled storming away from me.

Father of the year.
Flashback Over•



"Luke!" I yelled as I ran through the woods. "Luke!"

There was no answer. "Luke!" I yelled again.

Then I felt a hand grab my ankle. "Michael," the voice said.

I bent down. "Luke," I rolled him into his back. He winced. His face was cut, bruised, and bleeding.

"Get me up." He said reaching his arm up to me. I pulled him up. "Fuck."

"Luke, what's wrong?"

"Everything." He said tears streaming down his bleeding face.

"It's okay."



Once Luke and I made it to the edge of the woods we could see Ben and Jack hitting each other.

"Stop!" I yelled. "Lean up against here." I said bringing Luke over to the schools' wall.

I ran over to Jack and Ben trying to pulled them apart. Jack shoved me away. Ben shoved Jack away.

"Can you drive?" He asked me.

I nodded. He tossed me his keys. "Go."

I ran back over to Luke. "Come on." I said taking his arm and putting it over my shoulder.



"Michael," Luke cried.

"What's wrong?" I said.

"I don't know what to do!" He yelled. "My family is shit! I don't have a mom or dad anymore and now I don't have my brothers!"

"Luke take a deep breath." I said. He did.

"Michael I want to be dead already."

"Don't say that."

"If you had my life you'd understand."

"I do understand."

"How?"

"My dad walked out on me and my mom. Then my mom filled for a divorce a year later."

Luke looked over to me. "But you at least had a mom that cared about you."

I shook my head. "I didn't. I had a mom who worked at the hospital caring for other people." I felt tears come to my eyes. "I never saw her."

"Can we change the subject?" Luke said.

I nodded. "Yeah we can. We can."



LUKE
I could hear Michael and his mom yelling out in the living room. I knew she was yelling about me being here.

"Michael!" I yelled as the yelling died down.

He burst through the door. "What?" He said annoyed.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Never mind."

He shook his head. "What do you need?" He said his voice more calm now.

I looked down. "Never mind."

He nodded. "Okay."

I wanted to tell him I loved him...

Note: Luke, just tell him.

A few days ago someone told me I was a inspiration for them writing. I'm so happy I have that type of impact on people. It alway means so much to me when people tell me that.

Well, it's today (it's 12:47 am September 12th 2015) I'm meeting my best friend for the first time. We're meeting at our 1D concert. I can't even explain how excited I am.

Hope you enjoyed!

Lots of love- Haley
