"Luna come on you have to go to school today!" I screamed from the kitchen.

"Muma I'm not going unless Poppa takes me there!" She crossed her arms over her chest and stood in the doorway of the kitchen.

"Luna Alexandria Fuentes you are going to school whether your father is here or not!" I sighed and leaned against the counter "Please baby. I'll have Daddy take you tomorrow." I turned and smiled at her.

"Pwomise?" she looked up at me with her big brown eyes.

"I promise. Now let's get you to school Lulu"

I pulled into the driveway of my empty house after dropping Luna off. It's been just Luna and I for the past four months. Collin went to college in northern California. Franky moved out a long time ago. Mike? He's still staying with Vic. He never comes to visit Luna like he promised and I'm pretty sure he hangs out with Marilese an awful lot. His doctor said he should gradually remember a few things, and he did, none of them were about Luna and I though. I rested my head against the steering wheel and took a deep breath. My heart nearly stopped when someone tapped on my window with their keys. I looked over to see Mike smiling awkwardly at me. I gave him a small wave and got out of the car.

"Hey" he said rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet.

"Hi" I stared up into his eyes hoping that something had changed.

"Can we talk?" he looked over to the tree in our front yard. "I remember you falling from it..." We walked up to the oath that led to the front door buy he stopped at the beginning. "This too. I remember this. "

He stood over a the portion of the sidewalk that read "Mike Victoria forever"

"C'mon bub" I smiled pulling his arm towards the house.

We made our way to the kitchen and Mike leaned against the doorway while I made myself tea and sat on the counter top.

"You're gorgeous" he blurted out.

"W-what?"I nearly choked on my tea. He just stared at me. "What exactly did you want to talk about?"

"I was wondering if I could uhm, come back? I think being around everything would help me remember. I mean of course if it's a problem I'll stay at Vic's but I was just wondering-"

"Of-Of course" I said cutting him off. "Mike it's your house too."

"Are you sure?"

"Mikey, Luna misses you. She almost wouldn't go to school this morning because she wanted you to take her."

"I'm so sorry..."

"No, don't be. It's not your-"

"Don't say it's not my fault! It is COMPLETELY my fault!" he screamed. I just sat where I was on the counter and watched him. His eyes filled with tears."This is all my fault. If I didn't fuck Marilese we wouldn't have had that fight. If we didn't have that fight you wouldn't have left. If you didn't leave I ne'er would have driven while I was drunk. This. Is. My. Fault."

I slid off of the counter an walked over to where he was standing, wrapping my arms around him as soon as I reached him. Mike stayed stiff for a few seconds then relaxed and hugged me back.

"I'm so sorry Victoria. I'm so sorry for doing this to us. I fucked everything up" I could tell he was crying by the way he spoke. "I can't even remember our kids. I don't remember how it felt when we lost Anni. I don't remember their first birthday. I don't remember our wedding day. Nothing."

"Mikey stop it. Don't do this to yourself. You're not the only one who fucked up okay?"

"What do you mean? You?..." he pushed me away from him and stared at me with wide eyes.

"The day you told me. I-I slept with someone Mike." I shook my head as tears flowed over my cheeks.

"What's wrong with you?!" he screamed at me.

"What wrong with me?! You're the one who tucked your ex while I was in a fucking depression over our son dying!" I walked out of the kitchen and stomped outside onto the deck.

"So who did you fuck huh? Who did you use for revenge?" he growled. It looked like old Mike was back.

I froze. What did I just get Tony and I into.

"Y-you don't wanna know." I shook my head and pushed past him, going back into the house.

"No. Tell me" he grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall.

"Mike please." I begged. It was going to tear everyone apart. It was going to ruin the band.

"Tell me."

"T-Tony. It was Tony."

He froze and went silent. Then he grabbed my arm and dragged me to his car.

"Mike stop don't do this." I begged him as he drove.

"Tony? Really? You had to fuck Tony?"

"Mike slow down you're gonna kill us both." I dug my nails into the seat as he pulled up in front of Tony's apartment building and got out of the car. "Mike no!" I screamed running after him.

"Victoria stop!"

"Tony! Mike don't do this please!" I begged as he pounded his fist against the door. I heard the doorknob jiggle and Tony opened the door. "Mike no!"

I screamed as his fist made contact with Tony's jaw. I heard it crack as soon as he hit him. Tony fell to the floor holding his face.

"Dude you fucked my wife?! You're supposed to be my best friend!" Mike yelled. Tony didn't say anything. "I've loved her since high school. I gave her up because I thought it would be better for her and you watched me drink until I couldn't even walk because of it. Don't ever fucking talk to me again." Mike turned around and walked back to the car.

"Tony I have to go. I'll text Vic and tell him to come over. I'm so sorry Tony. I'm so sorry" I cried before I rushed back to the car.

"Did you plan it?" Mike said breaking the silence that took over the car after we left.

"No Michael of course not. It was a mistake." I answered quietly. He didn't say anything in return. "Did you?"

"I-I dont know." he said. I just nodded. There was no telling if he did or not. He couldn't even remember doing it in the first place.

Mike pulled into our driveway and put the car in park.

"I think we need to talk" I mumbled breaking the silence.

"Yeah, you think?" He said angrily before getting out of the car and walking towards the house. He stopped and sat down on the front steps, patting the space next to him. We sat for a few minutes, neither one of us saying a word.

"I tore everyone apart.."I whispered shaking my head. "I ruined everything. I ruined the band, I ruined your relationship with your best friend, I ruined our relationship-"

"Our relationship has always been fucked." He said.

"Not like this" I shook my head and looked down at my shaking hands. "Mike please don't be angry with Tony. I started everything. I kissed him first. None of this was his fault."

"He put his dick in you!" Mike yelled. I winced.

"Please Michael" My voice came out barely above a whisper. "Just please"

He got up and walked into the house, leaving me to follow behind. I looked through the whole first floor and couldn't find him. My feet carried me upstairs where I checked all of the bedrooms for him. All of them except for Anakins. I pushed the door open lightly to find him kneeling in front of his bed with his head resting in his hands.

"Why did you name him after Tony?"

"He took me to the hospital to have the kids, Mike. He's our best friend."

"So it wasn't because you guys love each other?"

"Mike, of course not! Why would you even-"

"No! Don't ask me why I would think that! Do you remember high school? Do you know how scared I was that you were going to pick Tony over me?!"

"Michael, I love you so much. Tony and I, we're not..." I let out a frustrated sigh. "Tony is my best friend Mike. He's yours too. I don't love him. I love you. If I didn't love you I wouldn't have spent ten years of my life with you. It probably would have been thirteen if we both weren't so stupid." I gave a small laugh towards the end as I knelt beside him. It was the first time I'd gone in Anakin's bedroom since the morning I found him.

Mike looked at me with tears in his eyes before suddenly pulling me into his arms. I had missed him so much and I didn't even realize it. I melted against his body and started crying hysterically.

Mike and I stood outside of Luna's school waiting for the bell to ring.

"What do you think she's gonna say when she sees me? She probably hates me for not being around." He started fidgeting with his hands. He hadn't seen Luna since the morning of his crash. The bell rang and she walked out the main door squinting her eyes and looking around for me.

"Just call her Princess Luna and she'll forget all about it" I whispered to him.

"Poppa!" She screamed running towards him. "Poppa where have you been? Muma's always crying and she always has Tio Tony come over to watch Star Wars with us and-"

"Luna" I groaned rubbing my temples.

"And yelling at me" She said matter-of-factly. I watched as anger flared in his eyes then died down.

"Don't be upset with Mommy, she's having a tough time Princess" He kissed her cheek and we started walking towards the car.

"Poppa?" Luna said as she kicked the back of my seat lightly while Mike drove.

"Yes Luna?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm right here baby what are you talking about?" He laughed quietly and reached an arm back to take hold of her tiny hand.

"No, where are you when I'm at home and you're not?" Her voice got small and her bottom lip started to tremble. "Poppa how come you're never home to see the pictures I make for you? How come you never make me fly anymore?"

Mike pulled over, got out of the car, and ran over to her door. When he got there her opened it and wrapped his arms around the crying little girl in the backseat. I sat in the front seat crying silently as Mike comforted Luna. The hardest part about all of this was not being able to explain it to Luna because she was still too young to understand.
