Meanwhile, Michael's hanging out in Benny's garage like old times—along with Damien and Devon of course. They sat there engaging in random conversations while drinking various beverages

"Man Damien who told you to go get engaged like you grown huh? Who's the lady?" Benny teased as Damien rolled his eyes smiling and shaking his head

"Y'all don't know her so I ain't even gon' explain it. Y'all just needa grow some dicks and get married 'n shit and get on my level."

The boys scoffed, exchanging glances. "I ain't ready to get all into that shit yet. Me and Naia only been together for like a couple years." Devon declined waving his hand around

"Ain't nobody gon' let me marry Hayden." Michael mumbled, taking another shot of his drink and closed his eyes hanging his head back like a mad man

"Why not?" Benny asked, looking over at him curiously. The statement held no explanation and they thought if he really wanted to marry Hayden one day, he should.

He shrugged. "'Cause I just know it. Plus my phycologist says I shouldn't get married 'n serious until after I'm all "fixed". I don't wanna get married right now anyway. I still feel like imma anger Hayden wit' my outbursts or somethin'. I ain't ready."

"Well she loves you so go for it. I'm sure she'll accept you for whatever." Damien assured shrugging his shoulders

But they don't know that Hayden almost broke up with Michael like 3 times because of his problems. Not once did she tell anyone that Michael's hit her. And she's not planning on telling anyone

"Like iss that easy nigga." Michael scoffed, shaking his head, taking another long sip of his drink. He's been distracted lately since he's starting to go back to his old habits again.

He's afraid he can't control himself this time

"Don't drink too much bro. Ain't bouta get drunk in my garage like that otha time years ago." Benny warned him as he looked over at him cocking his brows

"Dont speak of it." Michael lowly said shaking his head as the boys laughed. Their laughter slowly subsided as they saw Tony (the one that was put in jail after falsely being accused for the Scott situation ) walking down the sidewalk with his hands in his pockets, swiftly walking down before he stops and glares at them

He walked closer to them but kept his distance a bit
"Watchu want Tony?" Devon asked, looking him up and down.

"So you had the nerve to come back?" Tony asked, ignoring the other 3 boys and focusing his attention on Michael

Michael flared up his nose and looked Tony in the eye furrowing his brows. "What?" He asked, acting like he wasn't sure what he was nagging about.

"I was in jail for months 'cause of you man. You're just walkin' around here like you all innocent?"

"You want me to give you a hug? Would that make you feel better?" Michael asked clearly not caring about what Tony has to bitch about and proceeded to drink his beverage, looking out into the distance.

"I'm serious bro." Tony gritted. "I mean atta boy to you, you killed Scott. I never liked that guy either, but I for real didn't deserve sittin' in jail because of your actions. I was jumped and everything in there. And for what? Something I didn't do?"

Michael sort of felt sorry for him since all that happened because of him, but he chose to just keep a stone cold attitude and not show anyone his emotions. The only people that's seen the real Michael is Hayden, Aliyah, his family etc.
