Sleepless Night
~~Okay, thought i'd speed things up and write another chapter quickly. This chappie is kinda short but also kinda cute if that's the kind of stuff u like...sooo....enjoy!!:)~~

The night was calm and quiet. Mike pressed his head deeper into his pillow and sighed with comfort. He loved silent nights such as this. Suddenly, he heard something creak in the room and he frowned.
Mike.
He heard a faint whisper. He decided to ignore it and go back to sleep.
Mike. The whisper was louder as it approached his bed.
Dammit, what the hell?
Mike. Laura stated as she crawled on top of his bed, shaking his shoulder.
Im sleep. He muttered into the pillow.
Mike wake up. She ordered loudly with a soft tone.
He groaned with irritation and clutched his eyes tighter, praying shed go away and let him sleep.
Mike come onwake up.
Piss off. He moaned and pulled the blankets over his head.
Laura sighed with annoyance and pulled the blankets off of his head. Mike I cant sleep. She stated.
Well I cango away. He ordered wearily.
This is important. She breathed.
He grabbed his pillow and curled it over his head. Leave me alone. He grumbled.
The girl pulled his pillow off of his head and he opened his eyes with a glare. What the hell! he moaned and grabbed his pillow back, placing it under his head.
Mike, I cant SLEEP.
Good for you. He muttered and closed his eyes, rolling over.
She grabbed his shoulder and rolled him onto his back, staring down at him.
Fix this. She ordered.
He growled with irritation at the loss of his beauty sleep. Cant you just go watch some TV or something?
Thats not why I cant sleep.
Then what is it? he demanded.
She brought her legs up to her chest and leaned her chin on her knees. He sat up on his elbows and watched her eyes lower with sadness. I miss mom.
Well then Im sure she wont mind a phone call from you at-. He stopped and looked at the clock, giving a light moan. One Am.
Dont you even care?
Not really. He replied sleepily and yawned.
Laura frowned at him and watched his dark eyes through the moonlight. You know I need someone to talk to and theres no one here. She muttered weakly.
What do you need to talk to me for? he demanded with confusion.
Because Im lonely and restless and youre the only one I have. She answered quietly.
Mike felt a sudden ping in is heart, forcing him to sit up a little more. His brow furrowed with sympathy as he stared into her distant eyes. Alright finehere Ill take you back to your room. He muttered and rolled out of bed.
And do what? she asked as she followed him downstairs.
Get you to fall asleep. He replied and walked her down into her room.
How are you going to do that? she asked.
Well what does your mom do? he asked as she crawled under her warm covers. She watched him as he sat down on her bed.
Well if you must knowshe sings to me.
She any good? he asked with an arched brow.
Better than you. She muttered.
Mike lowered his eyes and ran a hand through his ruffled hair. So what, you want me to sing to you? he asked wearily.
Laura deepened her head into her pillow and shrugged. I dont knowyoure the musician.
Fine, close your eyes. He ordered.
Mike, if you dont want to then you dont have to.
Well thanks to you now I cant sleep. Besides, it might do my voice some good to get some exercise. He muttered.
Laura sighed a little and closed her eyes. Alright Mike, put me to sleep. She stated lightly. He gave a weak smile, trying to think of a song that could possibly put anyone to sleep. Ah perfect
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

This is my December
These are my snow covered halls
This is my December
This is me alone

And I
(Just wish that I didnt feel like there was something I missed)
And I
(Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I
(Just wish that I didnt feel like there was something I missed)
And I
(Take back all the things that I said to you)

And I
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December
These are my snow covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I
(Just wish that I didnt feel like there was something I missed)
And I
(Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I
(Just wish that I didnt feel like there was something I missed)
And I
(Take back all the things that I said to you)

And I give it all away

Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

He stopped as he heard her breathing slow and become shallow. She looked extremely comfortable, wrapped up in her blankets with her head buried into her pillow. He then heard a slight moan and she swallowed hard.
Whyd you stop? she muttered.
I thought you were asleep. He answered with confusion.
Well I was almost there until you stopped. She replied with her eyes still closed. He chuckled a little and lowered his eyes.
Dont tell me you actually like that song.
She sighed heavily before replying. WellI have to sayI might just buy your album.
Really. He smiled.
Yeahsee, the next time I cant sleep, I can just pop that CD into my CD player and listen to that song.
You serious? he asked.
She nodded sleepily and yawned. Yeah, youre voice is actually kind of soothing.
Mikes eyes softened as he watched her become extremely sleepy. Want me to continue? he asked quietly.
Please. She muttered into her pillow.
This is my December

He stopped and smiled weakly at the sleeping child. A look a peace was placed upon her face as she slept comfortably. Mike stroked her cheek gently and marveled at her angelic visage. She gave a large sigh and gripped her pillow weakly.

Okay, it is definitely getting harder to hate her. God, shes just so peaceful.

He thought about what Anna had asked him, about how he felt when he watched her sleep. He finally knew a comprehensive answer.
I feelcomplete.
That thought coursed through him. He never thought hed feel this way. He didnt know if this was lovebut he knew he cared about her. It was strange, feeling this in a short matter of time. Perhaps their bond was growing stronger. As he stared down at this sleeping child, he suddenly felt a sense of calm. He gave a small smile as he watched her breathe deeply.
Shes my daughter

{Song: My December}
{Artist: The evergreat and mighty Linkin Park}

~~KK..kinda quick and painless right??? OOOO Mike is starting to care about her..aww..kinda predictable...BUT what happens when Anna comes home???? I assure you, more drama and crying...stuff...to come...please review and tell me what u thought THANKEES!!:)~~
Urgent Eyes
~~Yay, sorry for taking so long to update but i had school and couldn't get onto the site cuz i had to write a french essay over the computer. Anyways, enjoy!!:)~~

The next few days were peaceful between the two. They would fight the odd time over something completely stupid say, the last pop or who got the remote, very trivial things. Evening fell upon the city and things were beginning to quiet down. Anna opened the door quietly, placing her suit case on the floor and kicked off her shoes.
She was homefinally. She gave a small breath of relief and entered the living room, smiling. The TV was on minimal volume, barely audible. The sight before her was the most precious thing she had ever seen. Laura had her head on Mikes chest, sleeping comfortably with his arm wrapped around her. He stared at the television sleepily and blinked quickly as Anna sat down on the other couch with a smile.
Hey, youre backI didnt hear you come in. he muttered wearily.
She stared at him fondly and gave a small chuckle. Its good to be home. She replied quietly.
Yeah thank GOD youre home. Now I can finally relax. He sighed.
You look pretty relaxed already. She stated while glancing at her daughter.
He looked down at Laura and gave a small smile. Yeah, were just hanging out, you know. He replied.
Anna shook her head with a laugh and leaned on the armrest. So I see that things werent so bad after all.
Well, I wouldnt say badjustdifficult. He answered.
He suddenly felt Laura moving slightly, giving a long stretch and a yawn. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she turned her head to see her mother sitting there. Hey mom. She greeted wearily.
Hey baby, how are you? she asked.
Im good. She sighed.
I can see that. Anna chuckled.
Well I think its time for this little monster to get to bed, right? Mike asked as he peered down at the girl.
Five more minutes. She muttered and buried her head into his warm chest. He laughed and sat up, causing her to roll onto the back of the couch. She frowned and opened her eyes. Bastard. She muttered.
Mike frowned and rubbed her hair with his hand roughly. Ow. She whispered.
Bed. He ordered.
She gave him a dirty look and stood up rubbing her eyes. Good night mom. She said lightly and hugged her tightly.
Night baby. Anna smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
Laura continued to rub her eyes as she walked past Mike. Night Mike. She muttered.
Night. He answered quietly and she disappeared into her room. Anna flopped down beside him on the couch and immediately pulled him into a long and slow kiss. After a few moments, she pulled away from him and smiled at his surprised look.
Wow, okayhi he breathed.
She laughed and grabbed his hand. I told you wed finish this kiss when I got back.
And that we did. He smiled.
She peered into his deep chocolate eyes tenderly. So, what exactly happened between you two while I was gone?
Mike sighed heavily and raised his eyes in thought. You knowits more like a father daughter thingyou wouldnt understand. He muttered and stood up.
Anna frowned as he walked towards the stairs. So what, you care about her now? she asked with confusion.
He looked back at her and frowned. Did I say that? No.
But-.
Anna, well talk about this later. Right now Im tired and I want to go to bed. He groaned and disappeared upstairs. She lowered her eyes and stared around the empty room.
That bastard, he cares about her
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anna tripped yet again on Lauras backpack. She grumbled to herself and picked up the bag, rubbing her bruised shin. How many books was that kid stacking?
Mike laughed from the kitchen and she stared at him. Ha-ha you hit the bag! he sang.
Anna glared at him. Seriously Mike, youre thirty going on seven. She muttered.
Laura came upstairs and cringed, waiting for the yelling to start. Oops. She muttered, seeing her mother rubbing her leg in pain.
Yeah oops is right, what the hell is the matter with you? I told you to put your bag downstairs when you come home from school. She explained sternly.
Well I forgot. She whined and walked into the kitchen.
Anna growled and rolled her eyes. Yeah well how about next time I forget to make you dinner.
Sounds like a plan. Mike, what are you making? Laura asked with a smile.
He frowned at her and shook his head. You need to learn to cook your own food kid.
Anna stared down at the bag as something caught her eye. Out of the corner of the zipper was a small baggie filled with a green almost tobacco like substance. She bent down and pulled it out of the bag, examining it while listening to the two children speak to each other in the kitchen about food and growing up.
Anna sniffed the corner of the bag and her suspicions were confirmed. She slowly walked into the kitchen and glared at her daughter. Laura, I found this in your bag. The girl turned around and stared at the bag, inspecting its contents.
You found that in my bag?
Yesyou mind telling me what the hell it is? she demanded.
Mike looked up from his soup and frowned. I dont know what that is. Looks like oregano. She answered lightly.
Anna tossed the baggie onto the island and crossed her arms. Well its not oregano Laura, but Ill give you one guess as to what it is.
The girl stared into her mothers angry eyes with confusion. Mom, I dont know what that is.
Is fucking weed! she shouted, causing her to jump with a start.
Mike lowered his eyes and leaned on the island, staring at the baggie. Laura stared at her mother silently in shock. Anna shook her head in disbelief. I cant believe this. My own daughter doping up.
Mom thats not mine! Ive never even seen it before! she shouted back.
Famous last words Laura.
Im telling you the truth!
Bullshit, I know what kind of friends you hang out with.
Lauras eyes darkened. Yeah exactly. What makes you think they didnt put that in my bag to frame me? she asked.
Framed, thats a good one Laura.
Im not lying. She growled.
Too bad I dont believe you. You know what, all your stuff is gone. The TV, the stereo, your new clothes, your music, EVERYTHING. Anna breathed angrily.
Mom Im not smoking weed! she yelled, feeling tears forming in her eyes. Anna stared at her daughter silently with a ferocious glare. Laura looked at Mike with pleading eyes. He sighed uneasily and his jaw tightened. He didnt know what to make of this.
Greateveryones against me. She muttered shakily.
Go to your room. Anna ordered coldly.
Laura glared at her for a long moment then stormed out of the kitchen, slamming her door. Anna looked at Mike and rubbed her hair out of her face. Well gee, you seem pretty quiet for someone who just found out their daughter is a drug user.
Mikes eyes darkened at her words. Anna, it is possible that she didnt do this. He answered quietly.
Are you fucking kidding me? How the hell does something like this just magically appear in her bag without her noticing it?
Well she goes to a big school. Its easy to just lay down your bag for a second and have someone drop something into it. He explained.
I cant believe you believe her! she yelled.
Mike sighed shakily and shook his head. Im just thinking about the facts. Ive never been one to jump to conclusions. He answered.
Mike, shes smoking pot-.
Have you seen her smoke pot? Have you smelled any of it on her or in her room? he asked.
Thats not the point and its easy to get rid of that smell with a little body spray.
Anna Im telling you that maybe this doesnt belong to her.
Oh so what, shes holding it for a friend? Thats the oldest excuse in the book. She snarled.
And what if one of her friends framed her? How are you going to feel knowing that you accused her of something she never did? he demanded.
Michael, shes smoking this shit. I can see it in her eyes. I know when shes lying to me.
Mike ran a hand through his hair nervously. Well then we are seeing two different things. He replied.
So you think that just because you spent seven days with her, you know her? You dont know shit Mike. She snapped.
Well at leased I have enough sense to consider all the options. He replied angrily.
Mike shes playing you.
Dont you think I know when shes lying? Dont you think I know that poker face? I invented that look Anna and I am telling you that there is a possibility that she is telling the truth!
Fuck you Mike, you dont know dick!
I know a lot more than you! he yelled.
Anna closed her mouth and stared at him with silent shock. She couldnt believe he had just said that. Really. She breathed quietly.
He stared at her sheepishly. Anna looked around the room and gave a crooked smile. Well, I guess since Ive only been her mother for thirteen years we should just disregard everything Im saying right? But you know, father knows best. She muttered.
Anna, I didnt mean-.
Get out of my sight. She ordered calmly.
He lowered his head and swallowed hard. Fine. He answered quietly and disappeared upstairs. Anna sighed uneasily and stared down at the floor. The evening was just about to get more complicated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thunder rolled in the distance and echoed over top the dark clouds. The rain pinged against the roof of the house but became slightly muffled through the growing wind. Mike frowned in his sleep, still thinking about what had happened earlier that afternoon.
Something inside of him told him that she wasnt on drugs, that all of this wasnt her fault. Except the problem with that was he knew that there was an even higher possibility that she was on drugs. After all, she took after her father. Something light shook his shoulder, forcing him out of unconsciousness.
Mike, wake up. He heard the voice say, almost with urgency. He groaned sleepily and pushed his head deeper into the pillow.
What the hell is it with this family? Cant anyone let a guy sleep?
Mike, you have to get up NOW. It was Annaand she didnt sound calm. He sat up slowly and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
W-what? he whispered weakly.
Shes gone.
Mike frowned and blinked quickly, staring at the dark from beside him. He could barely register what she was saying because he was still half asleep. Shes what? he asked wearily.
Gone. Anna stated with panic.
Gone where? he asked, still obvious that he wasnt fully awake.
Anna grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him towards herself quickly, staring into his dark eyes. I DONT KNOW, THATS THE PROBLEM. She stated loudly through her teeth.
He raised his eyes in realization as she let him go. O-okayyoure freaking out, arent you? he asked.
Well my daughter is missing and my dumbass boyfriend doesnt think theres a problem with it so yeah, Im freaking out! she yelled.
Anna calm down. He stated slowly.
I CANT FUCKING CALM DOWN! she screamed.
Mike sighed uneasily and slid out of bed. Anna followed him quickly down the stairs and stopped in the living room.
Mike this cant be goodI mean shes angry with me and she left and its raining and theres a storm and she could be lost or injured or kidnapped-. She stopped suddenly as Mike grabbed her hands.
He peered into her teary eyes and frowned. Anna, its okayshes okayshes just a little pissed. Shell be back. He explained calmly.
Anna shook her head and began to sob into his chest. Our babys out there all by herself. She wept.
She kept repeating that same sentence through her cries and Mike lowered his eyes with worry. Our baby.
Every time she said that, he felt his heart jump with anxiety, not because he was afraid of the concept of her being his child but because he was worrieddamn worried.
Anna dont worry, Ill find her. Mike stated breathlessly.
She looked up at him and sniffed back her tears. Ill find her. He whispered again.
Anna nodded and lowered her head as Mike rushed to put on his jacket. Stay here in case she comes back. He ordered.
Anna wiped her tears as he opened the door, feeling the rain hitting the back of his neck. AnnaIm not coming home without her. She saw the urgency in his eyes and almost began to sob again.
He left the house rapidly, disappearing into the rain. She heard the engine of his Escalade start up and soon he was gone down the street, his wheels screeching against the soaked asphalt.
Find her. She whispered.

~~SOOOO does he find her??? If he does, is she hurt? Dead? Pregnant? lol...read on to find out more..heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..THANKEES AND REVIEW!!:)~~
Rainy Truth
~~OKAY...man, the reason why it's taking me for flippin ever to update is cuz now i have no idea where this fic is going so bear with me...anywayz, enjoy the chapter:)~~

Three minutes turned into four, into seven, into thirty, into sixty. For an hour, he had been searching for her everywhere. She must have been absolutely drenched in this weather. Mike squinted out the window, thinking he had just seen something move.
Slowly, he stopped the truck and peered into the dark and gloomy park near the school. Sitting on the park bench, head down was none other than Laura looking awfully soaked and miserable. Tears streaked down her cheeks as she stared at the grass below her. Mikes eyes softened, knowing she was probably extremely upset. Slowly, he exited the vehicle and shivered under the cold rain. He made his way through the soaked grass and stuffed his hands in is pockets. Laura sniffed and blinked long strands of tears down her cheeks, not even noticing the approaching shadow.
Mike stopped and stared down at the child. Water dripped off of his black spikes and landed onto the bench beside her. Laura. He said softly.
She glanced at him briefly before turning back to the wet blades of grass. He sighed softly when she didnt respond. Mind if I sit down? he asked.
Yes.
Too bad. He muttered and flopped down beside her, causing the bench to shake.
Laura glared and kept her vision on the ground. She had no intention of talking to him, of course she couldnt stop him from talking to her. You want to tell me whats going on? he asked.
The young girl blinked with surprise at his gentle voice. It was like he actually cared. Still, she couldnt find the courage to speak to him. Instead, she just shook her head, watching the water spiral down from her dark hair. Mike lowered his eyes and leaned forward.
I remember when I ran away from home. I was twelve.
Laura furrowed her brow at his statement. What, is he trying to make me feel better? Its not going to help. I feel like shit. Mom hates me, he probably hates me. Everyone thinks Im some kind of drug addict.
Mike stared down at the ground and raised a brow. Its a lonely place out hereespecially when you feel like shit. He explained softly.
So what? I want to be alone.
Look I know you hate me and you dont want to talk to me and Im no expert with type of thing but maybe talking about it will set some peace in this situation. He explained quietly.
Laura sighed uneasily knowing that the truth wasnt going to help at allit might even make it worse. He sensed her uneasiness and lowered his eyes. Just tell me the truth. He stated.
She shook her head in response. Telling him would solve nothing. It would just make a lot of people angry. Come on Laura, its the only way this night is going to end. He offered gently.
Mike sensed something hidden within her, something she didnt want to tell him. It was like he just suddenly knew she didnt want anyone knowing the truthwhatever the truth may be. Talk to me LauraIll hear you out. No one needs to know anything about tonight. Its just you and me. I wont tell your mom if you dont want me to. He explained.
The young girl sighed shakily and closed her eyes, bracing herself for her own weak voice. Its my weed. She stated with heavy guilt.
Mikes jaw tightened as her words soaked through his mind. Laura raised her head and stared out into the dangling trees. She knew hed be pissed. She knew hed probably start yelling or lecturing her about the stupidity of drug usage. She could already hear his angry voice in the back of her mindfeel his intense gaze upon her. So you lied. He muttered quietly.
Great, silent angerhes REALLY pissed.
About having the weed, yeahbut I never smoked itand thats the truth. She explained uneasily.
Mike looked down and shook his head. Why? he asked simply.
Laura sighed heavily and tried to contain the rest of her tears. I dont knowI guess I was just tired of being a nobody, a shadow in the corner, someone to borrow money off of.
Mike listened intently to her broken words.
Throughout my entire life Ive been stepped on, pushed down and bullied. I try to brush it off but it still happens over and over and over again. Im sick of this torture. SoI did what my dumbass teenage mind told meall your friends are doing it, so should you. Ive never really been able to surmount peer pressure. Having those drugs was the stupidest thing I have ever done and I know that. But see now its causing even more problems and her voice faded as the tears began to flow down her rosy cheeks.
N-now everyone is mad at mea-and I cant go home b-because mom thinks Im s-some kind of drug addict and you dont trust me andm-my life is just screwed up. She sniffed.
Mike sighed heavily and stared at her with dark eyes. I-Im sorry. She cried weakly.
He stared at her shaking form as she wept into her hands. She suddenly felt warmth around her, slowly realizing that Mike had wrapped his jacket around her. I n-never smoked. She sobbed.
I believe you. He replied softly.
Laura leaned back and he wrapped his arms around her. She sobbed quietly into his chest, soaking his already damp shirt. He let her cry for a few more minutes before she finally stopped and sniffed away her tears.
Y-youre going to tell mom, arent you? she asked miserably.
Mike stroked her wet hair and sighed. I think you should tell her.
Butshell yelland probably disown methen Ill have to live with you. She muttered sadly, while wiping away her tears.
Mike gave a crooked smile. Do you really want me to tell her?
Yes. She answered quickly.
Well Ill see what I can do. He replied.
Laura sniffed and lifted her head. Are you pissed? she asked.
Mike raised a brow and looked around. Do I look pissed? he asked.
I dont know. You sound kinda pissed.
Im not pissedIm just disappointed. I never thought youd get yourself into that shit. Youre a smart person Laura, you dont need to do everything your friends do. He explained.
She gave a light snort and shook her head. Yeah what friends?
Im sure you have at leased on friend who isnt on drugs. He stated.
She stared at him with thought and lowered her eyes. Welltheres Tiffanyshes super obsessed with your damn bandI guess shes normalaside from the obsession. She muttered.
Mike chuckled and nodded. See? You do have friends.
Yeah I guess. She muttered and looked down.
Come on, its getting coldyou should be in bed not sitting in a rainy park. He explained and pulled her up. She walked with him back to the truck and entered the warm vehicle. Mike hopped in and started the engine, driving back to the house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh God Laura! Anna exclaimed and grabbed her daughter, planting kisses on her cheeks and forehead. The girl frowned and cringed through all the kisses.
M-mom. She breathed.
I thought I lost you. Jesus Christ, dont ever do that again. Anna stated and hugged her tightly.
Mom, I cant breathe. She muttered breathlessly.
Ohs-sorry. She replied apologetically, wiping the hair out of her daughters face.
Mike gave a small smile and pulled off his jacket, hanging it up. Can I go to bed now? Laura asked wearily.
What, thats it? Just go to bed without even so much as an explanation as to why you left in the first pla-.
Mike stopped her and shook his head. Anna noticed the warning in his eyes and decided not to go any further. Well discuss it tomorrow. She continued.
Laura nodded and rubbed her sleepy eyes. Sorryfor leaving like that she muttered.
Its alright Laurago to bed, you must be exhausted. Anna replied calmly. The girl nodded and disappeared into her room. Mike approached Anna and sighed heavily.
Did she tell you the truth? she asked.
Mike nodded. Yeah she did. Its her weed.
Wait, she lied? I thought you just said she told the truth! she answered with confusion and slight anger.
Mike lowered his eyes and nodded. She DID tell the truth. She never smoked it.
Anna stared into his calm dark eyes and sighed with relief. Sowhy did she leave?
She was afraid youd disown her and shed have to live with me. He grinned.
Anna raised a brow at his humor. I doubt shed ever live with you.
Shes living with me now. He replied.
She furrowed her brow in thought. Sowe were both right. Shes WAS lying and she WAS telling the truth.
Mike nodded and ran a hand through his wet hair. This parenting shit is complicated. See this is why I never wanted a kid in the first place. He explained.
Anna frowned with surprise at his words. Mike gave a small smile at her reaction. But seeing as though shes a lot more mature than meshe cant be considered a kid therefore I am okay with it. He grinned again.
You mean you ca-.
Good night Anna. He sighed and disappeared upstairs before she could finish her sentence.
Anna frowned at the stairs and rolled her eyes. Hes never going to admit it.
She stomped up the stairs and knocked on his door. Mike opened it and stared at her with expectation. May I help you? he asked innocently.
Admit it.
Admit what?
That you care about her.
He rolled his eyes and gave a heavy sigh. Anna Im TIRED. Im not discussing this now.
Too badnow cough it up. She muttered as her intense eyes bore into him. He stared at her for a long moment, thinking about his answer. Either that or you love her. She added quickly.
HEY, no one said anything about love! he stated loudly.
Come on Mike, shes your daughter. You spent seven days with her. There has got to be some kind of bond between you two. She explained.
And if there isnt?
I believe there is. Why else would she have come home with you?
So she could hide behind me incase your fists start flying? he answered.
Well Mike, then that just means she knows you can protect her. Anna said with a small smile.
He lowered his eyes and looked around in thought. Okay, if I answer your damn question will you let me sleep? he demanded wearily.
Of course.
Fine. He muttered.
They stared at each other for many minutes. Anna frowned as she stared deeply into his eyes. Now would be the time to answer.
I love her, good night. He answered quickly and closed his door in her face.
Anna stared at the wood in shock and surprise. She was expecting a sarcastic remarkbut none came from his mouth. The only thing he confessed was the truth. Mike. She called.
Im sleeping. He replied.
Mike, open the damn door. She ordered in a low tone.
She heard him growl with frustration and the door slowly crept open. He stared into her gleaming eyes with embarrassment. I cant believe you said you love her. She breathed.
Yeah neither can I, good night.
She pressed he foot into the door frame, stopping the door from closing. She stared at him with a small smile and shook her head. Wow.
Wow what? he asked with a frown.
Ive never seen this side of you before.
What, the side that doesnt want to talk to you? Youve seen it a million times. He replied with annoyance.
No I meant the side that tells the truth about your feelings. I had no idea you love her.
And I had no idea that you were this persistent about discussing it. He snapped.
You gonna tell her?
Hell no! he frowned.
Why not? she demanded.
Because shed laugh in my face ororsay something snotty oruhget pissed, hell I dont know. He replied shakily.
And what if she loves you too?
Thats a pretty big if. He answered quietly.
Not as big as you think. Anna stated softly.
Mike sighed uneasily and stared into her eyes. He was scared and she knew that.
Mike you have to tell her.
OR, you could tell her for me. He smiled.
OR not. She frowned.
Keeping secrets from your daughter, tsk tsk, what a horrible mother you are. He muttered.
Yeah well youre keeping one GIANT secret from YOUR daughter. If I didnt know any better Id say you were a terrible father.
Mike frowned with surprise. He felt like he was being stabbed in the heartfor somestrangereason.
Hurts doesnt it? she asked.
He sighed with frustration and leaned on the door. Im going to bed.
Are you going to tell her? she demanded.
Nope.
Michael. She breathed in disbelief.
She doesnt CARE Anna. Shes thirteen.
She does care and I know it.
Yeah and how do you know it?
Instinct. She replied quickly.
Mike rolled his eyes. There you go with that instinct shit again. Heres a word of advice, Anna. Its a lot less of a headache if you just ignore it.
Is that why youre ignoring it? Because you dont want to deal with the fact that perhaps your daughter loves you? she asked.
I dont have this magic instinct you keep talking about.
Anna crossed her arms and stared at him. I heard about what you did to her principal.
What! he shouted.
Yeah, the school phoned me while I was in New York. They said something about you punching the principal
Mike frowned at her in shock. T-that was in self-defense!
Bullshit, you did it because he grabbed Laura. I spoke to her about it too. You cant hide from this Mike. You have that instinct. You protected your daughter. She explained slowly.
Fine okay, I admit it, I just suddenly got this urge to keep the bastard away from her. Happy? he asked.
Very. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. He raised a brow as she stroked his hair out of his face.
Tell her Mikeshe deserves to have a loving father, especially after all this time. She stated softly.
He gave a heavy sigh and lowered his eyes. Alright, Ill tell her.
Promise? she asked suspiciously.
I promise. He answered quietly.
Goodnow you can go to bed. She smiled.
Thank you. He breathed.
