Mike-

“Micheal?! What are you doing here?”
“Mom, I need to make things right.” I tell my mother as I sit on the couch.
“DADDY!” My head shoots up and I'm attacked by my terrible two. “you early! “
"I gotta talk to momma, okay? “ they nod and they go back outside.
“what's going on son? Tell your mother.” and I do. I tell my sweet loving mother my problems I'm having with Sandra. Of course not that I'm having a drinking problem, but the fights. She gives me her motherly advice, but deep down, I know what has to be done

Even if it means i have to tear down my own perfect world and smash it.

I look at the bare finger and grip the steering wheel tighter, making my knuckles go white.
My head throbs, my heart heavies, and my mind blanks.

What have I done?

I just told the love of my life, the mother of my children. That I have another woman.
Obviously not true.
Never would I cheat on Sandra.
Never.
But it was the only way. My phone rings and i sigh, answering it at the same time.
“hello?”
“listen here, you little asshole. Please tell me you aren't cheating on my sister.”
“Willow, I'm not.”
“THEN?!”
“I'll explain everything later. I'm driving.”
“I'm so tempted to go where you are,and smack you.”
“do it.. I can't believe what I just did. “
"bye Michael.” she hangs up and I let out a heavy sigh. I turn up the radio, letting my mind cloud with the music.
Making me forget the way her green eyes screamed in pain On how that bruise stood out in her perfect face, right on her blushed cheek.
How her eyes turned the dullest green I ever saw them be. I grab my phone and call my brother.
“WHAT THE FUCK?! “ news spread quickly.
"I'm on my way.”
“Mike. You better have an explanation on why you just did.”
“I do. I'll tell you. Bye.” It's not as worse as I expect it to be. Was it really bad? Oh yeah.
Could've I avoid it? Yes.
Did I? No.

------

I grab a water bottle. Not a beer. Not whiskey. Not soda. Water.

“She calls me, crying her eyes out, on how I let her down for not taking care of you. What did you get into, Mikey?” my older brother asks, as he walks across me.
“It needed to be done. She wouldn't let me go any other way. “
“Mike.”
“Vic, I'm losing control. I got her and bruised her cheek! With my wedding band! How do you think I feel about myself?! I can't be around her.. Not our children. I'm putting them in danger.”
“THAN CHANGE! “ Jaime yells at me. “you're losing everything, Mike! Everyone you love!” that stings.
"Am I losing your friendship, Jaime?” he stays quiet and looks down. “unbelievable.”
“Mike… you gotta change brother. I cant see you like this anymore. This hurts more than me stopping my self harm for you. “ Vic says, and his words breaks my heart. “if you don't want to stop for me, then stop for those three angels you have at home. For the woman that gave her life to you, and is sacrificing her well being to make you better.” He sighs, and my three bandmates walk out the bus. I was alone in my thoughts. I throw the water on the sink , grab a couple of beers and a bottle of Jack Whiskey, walk to my bunk, and drink till I pass out.

Forgetting the events of today.

Forgetting the pain I'm giving to people and myself.

But never forgetting those green eyes.

Those green eyes that died at the sight of a silver ring, touching the cold hands of the woman I love.
