Halloween Horror

"I am not yelling, im not crying, im not sulking. I'm just sitting here." Mie explained calmly. "I am doing nothing wrong."

Alex simply shook his head.
"Whatever."

Mike snapped his head over to look at Alex "You know what, if you want to be an ass, then leave."

"Right, I'M being an ass." He rolled his eyes.

Mike jumped up and got just inches away from Alex face. "Do NOT test me Alex, you WILL regret it." Mike warned.

"Relax Mike." Alex stood, placing his hands on Mike's shoulders.

Mike was getting riled up, he was pissed. "Don't tell me to relax and get you damn hands off me."

Alex raised to his full height.
"Mike, don't talk to me like that." Alex said, voice lowering. "You need to calm down."

Mike stood up, he was not as tall but he was just as mad. "Make me." Mike challenged.

"Oh, you don't want me to make you Mike. Calm down and I will let this go."

Mike laughed in his face. "Let it go, and your the one who started it? Whatever and you cant MAKE me do anything."

Alex felt his breathing getting heavier. His heart pounding. How dare Mike say these things. Did he not realize how much Alex had done for him? Alex clenched his fist, cracking his knuckles. He opened his hand back up and swung, connecting with Mike's cheek. He pulled back, his hand stinging from how much force he'd used.

Mike's head banged against the wall which he fell against.Mike slowly lifted a hand to his stinging, throbbing, cheek. Mike tasted blood on his tongue and felt tears in his eyes. His brain was trying to register what had just happen, there was no way Alex had just struck him. "Y-You.." Mike stuttered out, his words wobbly and unbelieving. "H-Hit m-me...." Mike couldn't look at Alex, he didn't know what to expect so he just sat there, waiting for Alex to hit him again.

Alex sat back down on the edge of the tub, not believing what had just happened. His world seemed to hault. He hadn't really done that had he?
"I... did." He breathed. He had hit Mike there was no denying that.

Mike flinched when Alex moved, covering his face with his hands trying to block his face from more blows. Mike was not afraid of Alex harming the kids but he was now scared that Alex may hurt him.

"Mikey... I... I didn't mean that. I'm so sorry." Alex cooed, reaching out for Mike's hand, still in disbelief.

Mike jerked away, staring at Alex with wide, fearful eyes. Mike back himself into the corner of the room that was farthest away from Alex. "D-Don't t-touch m-me."

"Mike baby, oh god I'm so so sorry. Please don't be scared of me." Alex pleaded, head in his hands.

Mike crawled out the bathroom door after struggling to get it open. Mike crawled under the bed which was against the wall so he was in a dark corner, under the bed, praying to God Alex didn't want to hit him again. Mike glanced at his babies and they were fine, still asleep and Mike didn't worry about Alex hurting them. Alex might have just hit him but he wouldn't hit the babies; Mike knew they were safe but as for himself, he wasn't so sure.

"Mike, come out please." Alex said, kneeling down beside the bed.

"N-no." Mike stuttered wide eyed, trying to get as far away as Alex as he could.

Alex simply sat there, waiting. He wanted to see Mike so he could apologize properly.

"A-Alex....P-Please..." Mike begged. "D-Don't H-Hit M-Me A-Again." Mike hiccuped. "L-Let me B-Be P-Please..." The word hit didn't sound right but it was, Mike didn't want Alex to hit him again, and it was hard to believe he did it in the first place. Mike wanted to believe that flash ran by and hit him but was gone before he saw....he didn't want to believe Alex would hurt him.

"I won't baby. I promise." Alex cooed.

Mike was not coming out, he was cold, and hurting. Mike curled up tighter and closed his eyes, trying to forget everything and block it all out.
