Chapter 4

I get into my house to see my parents arguing, as usual.

"YOU'RE LEAVING, AGAIN"

"WELL IT'S NOT MY FAULT"

"WELL YOU'RE THE ONE THAT TOOK THIS JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE"

I walk into the living room again and shout "HEY". They both look at me "what's going on"

"Your mum is leaving again" my dad answers me. I take a deep breath "how long for" I ask her.

"The 17th of November till the 22nd of November"

I look at her, tears forming in my eyes "mum, my birthday"

She gasps "Mikey I-"

"No don't you Mikey me" I say interrupting her "this is the fourth time you missed my birthday. Mum I do have feelings you know, and it hurts to know that my OWN MOTHER IS NOT AT MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE SHE HAS A STUPID BUSINESS TRIP"

She steps forward but I step back dropping my bag and I leave the house. I cross the road to go to the woods were I always go when I'm upset or just bored. I sit down on a log and I put my head in my hands and I start to cry.

"You okay?"

I gasp and turn around to see the one and only Luke Hemmings leaving against a tree "what are you doing here"

"Decided to go for a walk, heard someone crying. Wanted to see if they were okay" he says coming over to me and sitting next to me. "What's wrong?"

"Just family"

"Want to talk about it?"

I look at him and smile before explaining the situation. I explain how my mother and father fight nearly every day and how my mother has missed my birthday three times and how she is also missing it this year. By the end I started to cry again.

I feel his arm go around me and he pulls me to his chest. He rubs my back and kisses my head while I cry into his t-shirt.

When I finish crying I mumble "your t-shirt is wet"

"It's okay"

"No it's not because it's a Green Day t-shirt"

He laughs before grabbing one of my hands and links our fingers. I gasp, his skin is so cold.

"What's wrong?"

I pull away from his chest but our hands are still linked together "your skin is really cold"

"It is?" He asks and I nod my head "well it is pretty cold"

I smile at him "no one's comforted me before"

He looks at me in shock "what do you mean"

"When I tell them my friends my problems there always 'get over it' or 'your seventeen be a man' but you, you held me in your arms and told me everything was going to be okay"

He smiles before moving some hair that was on my forehead "well if you're alone and they won't comfort you, think of something that makes you happy"

"What makes you happy?" I ask him

"Penguins"

I laugh and he looks at me confused "what's wrong with penguins?"

"It's just never occurred to me of you being a penguin boy"

"Hey penguins are adorable and cute okay" Luke said with a pout.

I laugh at his pouty face and he breaks into a smile. "What makes you happy?"

I think for a while before answering "pizza"

"Really, pizza?"

"What's wrong with pizza? It's better than penguins"

"No it's not. You can't have a pizza teddy to cuddle with"

"Yeah you can as I have one"

We carry on this debate in what's better. Until he gave up and let me win.

I stand up and does a victory dance "LONG LIVE FOR PIZZA"

Luke burst out laughing at my victory dance. I suddenly stop and yawn.

Luke stands up and holds my hand again "someone tired"

I nod "debating on pizza and penguins is hard work"

He laughs before picking me up bridal style. I wrap my arms around his neck "what are you doing?"

"Carrying you home, now pretend you're asleep so you don't have to talk to them"

I lay my head on his shoulder and I close my eyes. I hear the doorbell ring and I hear my father's voice when the door opens.

"I'll just bring him to his room" I hear Luke say.

In a couple of minutes I felt something soft underneath me. I open my eyes "thank you" I whisper to him.

"No problem" he whispers back. He leans down to give me a peck on the cheek "goodnight Michael". He then leaves the bedroom.

I get up and put my pyjamas on before heading back to bed.

"Goodnight Luke" I mumble before closing my eyes and letting sleep take over me.

A debate about pizza and penguins.... Well okay then.

What do you like better, penguins or pizza???

Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
