"Hurry up, it's the middle of the night and I'd actually like to get some sleep today."
Derek said as Ahiella and Nico walked to the car, they got in and Derek drove off but the silence and tension in the car was so intense. Nico was sitting in the back seat, he didn't say anything out of fear but he didn't want to be around Derek anymore.
The more he's around him the worse his anxiety gets, "how much longer till we get there?" Ahiella asked, still facing the window. "We're almost there." Derek said as he turned the corner into his neighborhood.
His grip tightened on the steering wheel; he was nervous. He didn't wanna face Mike nor his other friends waiting at home. He knew Kairi didn't know how to keep him mouth shut and he probably told everyone about Mikes condition.
They turned another corner and you could see the house from here, along with kairi; who was standing in the front yard pacing back and forth, and the rest who where waiting on the porch.
"Here we go..." Derek said sarcastically as he parked the car in front of the house, immediately after getting out of the car kairi ran over and punched him as hard as he could.
Kairi's knuckles started to turn red and bleed a little but he didn't seem to care as he continued to punched Derek, he kicked him in his stomach and chest, and screamed at him, "what the fuck is wrong with you!!"
He screamed as his punches got weaker and weaker and tears started to run down his face. Eventually Kobe and Mattia pulled him off, and Derek whipped the blood from his nose. He didn't complain about what kairi did, he deserved worse to be honest.
"You should've hit him harder."
Ahiella said as her and Nico got out the car, all eyes were on them and Nico held his head down when his eyes met his little brothers. "And you are?" Kobe asked as he let Kairi go, seeing as he'd calmed down.
"Ahiella, I'm his sister. I'll explain later but right now can we go inside? It's cold as shit."
She mumbled that last part before closing the car door behind her and heading inside, surprisingly Nico helped Derek up. He didn't say a work to him though, then they all followed inside.
Mike; who was sitting on the couch facing the tv, didn't even bother to look at them when they came in. His eyes were slightly puffy and red due to crying and his face showed no emotion, he didn't even react to the movie one bit.
As Derek came in he looked over at Mike, he didn't know what to say, should he apologize? Should he say hello? He didn't know what to do. But unlike her idea brother; Ahiella knew what to say and do to get everything right again.
"Get up."
Everyone's eyes landed on her; except Mikes, but she wasn't paying attention to them. She walked to the front of the group and eye'd Mike, who still showed no emotion.
"Get. Up."
Mike finally responded, his eyes slowly moving towards Ahiella's.
"Why...what's the point?"
"Because you're not gonna sit here and rot for the rest of your life."
"Rotting is so much easier..."
"So, you're just gonna give up on everyone else here? The people that care for you? Your friends, family....lover."
"Heh...I don't have any of that."
"You do, look at them. They're all here for you, and only you."
"Maybe you're right...I do have family and friends, but I don't have a lover, never did."
"You do, you know you do."
"He cheated on me, left me for someone else. He doesn't deserve even a single sec of my life. I don't care about him, I just hate him..."
Mike said as he took out a picture on him and Derek, they looked so happy together and it almost brought him to tears.
"After all this...still a single picture of him is enough to make me fall for him all over again..."
