Avoiding the issues

"Oh I forgot to tell you" Micheal says bringing me from my thoughts. "The parenting class has been changed to Thursday instead of today" he smiles and I nod and smile back through pursed lips. "Don't worry about Randy. He's just being a dick to everybody right now" he says softly, wrapping his arms around me. "I was thinking we could eat out for dinner tonight. Some place nice" he smiles "sure" I smile back. "You wait here. I just need to use the bathroom then we can go home and start getting ready" he smiles, pecking my lips then leaves.

Michael's POV

After closing my office door I quickly make my way over to Randy's office.

"What the fuck was that about!?" I snap slamming the door behind me. "What are you talking about?" He shrugs, pretending to act innocent "just then in my office?"

"All I said was it was caring of you to let Leanne bring her cat to the office" he shrugs "no. It was the way you said it!"

"Well I'm sorry, but I find it strange you'd be so caring about a stupid cat yet not about the girl you supossedly love and planning on marrying and..."

"Oh my god! Are you still going on about that" I sigh heavily, rolling my eyes. "Mike, she deserves to know the truth! And what about Carley? Do you remember what she wrote on that post? She's been heartbroken for years because someone stole her baby and all she wants is..."

"I don't give a fuck what she wants or how she feels! I'm not telling her and that's final. In the last few weeks, we've starting to move on and Leanne has been the happiest I've ever seen her. Why do you wanna mess that up for her so bad?"

"I don't wanna mess it up for her, but what your doing isn't fair. You have to tell her the truth. And what about Carley? Don't you think she deserves to know her daughter? She had her baby stolen from her and.. "

"Not my problem" I shrug "so you don't care? Your keeping a mother from her child and a girl that thinks her parents are dead from meeting her real mom. You don't care about that?"

"Well then she should have been a better mother and not hand her over to a man she didn't even know"

"Ryan was a doctor and..."

"And he was Leanne's Father and Anna was her mother not Carely. And no! I don't care how Carely feels"

"How can you not care?" He frowns "why not? You clearly don't" I shrug. "What the fuck are you talk In about? If course I care. Why else would I be telling you to tell her?"

"Incase you've forgotten. It wasn't that long ago that she was so depressed and messed up in the head, she was hurting herself. Is burning her arm and on the stove and ending up in hostpital not enough for you? You want her to take some pills or cut her wrist next time? or..."

"What the fuck are you talking about!? Of course I don't want her to hurt herself!" He snaps cutting me off. "I understand you being worried about how she's gonna take the news. Especially after the whole.. stove incident" he mutters that last part. "But you don't know that telling her this is gonna put her back in that place and you can't keep finding excuses to avoid telling her. Have you forgotten what you did after you and Lisa got divorced?"

"That was different" I shrug. "No it's not. You got so depressed you took a bottle of pills and almost killed yourself and we were scared to leave you alone for months incase you tried to do it again and..."

"That was then. I'm fine now and I'm over that phycho bitch" I cut him off. "And Leanne's fine now too and you need to tell her the truth. You can't just keep this from her because she may or may not hurt herself" he says softly and I don't say anything for a moment.
