The little fire we had going on at Mike and I's house was still going pretty strong. Jess, Jaimes girlfriend showed up about half an hour ago and was currently taking care of a tipsy Jaime. I however was snuggled into Tonys side, watching Mike from the other side of the fire. He looked so scared and sad, it hurt me to see him like this and I couldn't help because I don't know what's eating at him. Every time I would ask him what's the matter he would just smile slightly and say nothing's wrong. But that's a bunch of bull and we all know it.
"So Mike," Tony began, "what are you doing these next couple of days?"
Mike cleared his throat and began speaking, "well I was thinking about going up to Mom and Pop's for a couple of days. With Michelle of course, but that is if she wants to go with me?" He asked looking me dead in the eye.
"Yes! I would love to, I haven't seen Mama and Papa Fuentes in awhile! Do they know about us Mike?" I asked smiling big, but that dropped when Mike shook his head no.
"I thought we would surprise them with it," Mike added.
I nodded my head and returned to my position on Tony and continued to watch Mike, he frowned when I played against Tony but didn't say anything about it so I assumed it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Jaime," I heard Jess say sternly, "stop right now or we're going home."
Jaime pouted and stopped running around the chair she sat in , "no!" He screamed and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Sometimes I swear you're five," Jess said rolling her eyes and laughing at him.
Jaime threw his hands up in frustration and groaned, "how many times do I have to tell people today that I'm a five year old at heart!"
"Im sorry?" He's said, unsure ans also fighting back laughter.
I laughed quietly and looked at the clock on my phone noticing that it was almost four in the morning, I yawned.
"Looks like the princess is getting tired," Vic said nudging Mike.
Mike walked over to me and held his hand out for me to take, but I rejected it stubbornly, "I don't want to get up."
"Youre a pain in my ass, but you're lucky I love you," Mike said scooping me up into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes.
"Goodnight everybody!" I called out, hearing the goodnights from everyone else. "Why won't you tell me what's wrong?" I asked sleeping.
Mike closed his eyes and stopped walking, letting a sigh escape through his lips, "nothings wrong baby, it's nothing to worry about. Okay?" He asked pressing his lips against mine, I didn't respond at first but his kiss was hungry and full of love, I had to respond.
When Mike pulled away I saw that same sad look in his eyes, I frowned as he began walking up the stairs not saying another word. We reached our bedroom, walking in and Mike kicking the bedroom closed and sat me on the bed.
I mentally cursed myself out as I remembered I left my phone on the nightstand the whole day, something couldve happened and I wouldn't even know, why? Because I'm a fucking idiot. I reached over and grabbed my phone off of the table and looked through my unread messages, some from Wyatt, Allen, Anne, and Tony. Wyatt and Allen we're saying how much they missed me and how they will see me in three weeks. I stopped looking through my messages when I came across another message from the unknown. Tears pricked at my eyes, threatening to spill any moment. I didn't want to leave Mike, let alone die. Sure I had wished that I would die, but not now. I was finally at a happy spot in my life, I'm reconnecting with some of my family and friends, and I have the man of my dreams.
I felt the weight of the bed shift as Mike climbed in next to me and pulled me to him, "whats wrong baby?"
I pulled away from him for a moment to grab my phone, and tossed it into his lap, and returned to my recent position. Mike didn't show any emotion as he read the message, he just stared at it.
"I already knew about this message, I didnt say anything about it because I didn't want to ruin your mood," he said softly looking down.
I had no words, I didn't know what to say. I was scared, and sad. This must have been what's bothering him all day, and what he talked to Tony about.
"I won't let her ruin us or hurt you. I promise, that's why we're going to my parents for a bit. I didn't know she could be like this, I didn't mean for any of this to happen and I'm so sorry for dragging you into this," he said hanging his head down low.
"Mikey, listen to me, in know way is this your fault. Alright? This is all her doing. You had no part in this, it wasn't your choice," I sniffled and kissed his cheek.
. "I just- when I saw those messages earlier I got so scared and angry. Scared that you would leave at any second and angry that she would try and do this, I should've said something to you. And then I treates you like shit in the pet store because I didnt know what to d-"
. I cut Mike off by putting my hand over his mouth shushing him, "in no shape or form am I ever going to leave you. Don't ever think that because it wont happen. I promise. Now come on let's go to bed then go to your parents in the afternoon."
. He nodded and removed my hand from his mouth, kissing the back of my hand. "Goodnight Michelle, I love you," he said wrapping his arms around me.
. "I love you too Mikey," I whispered and curled up into his side.

Notes

Hellooo people's, I'm so sorry for the lack of updates! I had the worst stomach pains, then I got into a fight with my dad, then I had my friend over, then the following day I went over to her house to get the hell out of here and blahh. It's been horrible, but at the moment I'm pretty happy so that's good I guess.
Love you guys!
