I was shaken out of all my thoughts when I hear a knock on the door.

"May? Is everything okay? You've been in there a while." I hear Luke say from the other side of the door.

The last thing I want to do right now is face Luke, but I can't hide in the bathroom all day.

"Yeah, uh- I'll uh- I'll be out in a minute." I stammer.

Once I was sure Luke had walked away, I open the door slightly. My assumptions were right, he must have gone back to his room. I walk back over to them and stand in the doorway of his room.

"Hey uh-I'm gonna head home. You can stay Mikey, it's not that far of a walk." I say.

"Why are you leaving? Are you sure?" Michael asks and I nod my head.

"Is everything okay?" Michael asks.

"Yeah of course. I just have a bit of a headache." I lie.

"Luke can just drive us home now then." Michael says, beginning to stand up.

"No, no. Honestly, it's not that far of a walk. Stay and have fun Mikey, and i'll just see you back at home."

"Alright, May." Mikey says hesitantly.

I hadn't bothered to make eye contact with Luke throughout this whole conversation, but it would be rude not to even say bye to him.

"See ya 'round Luke." I say, giving him a quick wave before heading out of his house as fast as my legs could take me.

I had way too many thoughts going through my mind right now. I had never ever come close to cheating on Ian, until now. I loved Ian. I've only known Luke for a week. I'm not going to let some random guy I just met and no nothing about, come between me and somebody i've been with for months now. Somebody I love. So many thoughts were going through my mind that I hadn't realized I had passed my house by a few. I quickly turn around and walk through the front door.

I go upstairs and lay on my bed, deciding to take a nap. All of this had been too much for me. It's not even a big deal but I'm so against cheating and I can't believe I almost did it. I should have pushed Luke away. I should have said no to him, but instead I leaned in too. At that moment, I wanted to kiss him. But now, I know I didn't, it was just the heat of the moment. Before I knew it my eyes had closed and I drifted to sleep.

I wake up and glance at my clock. 6:23. I hadn't realized I slept that long. I walk into the bathroom that connected to my room and quickly wipe the makeup from under my eyes and tie my hair up in a messy bun before walking downstairs. It was dead quiet.

"Mum? Mikey?" I call out. "Mum? Mikey?" I repeat, this time louder.

"In the basement!" I hear Michael call from downstairs.

I open the door to the basement and walk down the stairs. "Hey, where's Mum?" I ask him.

"She uh-um" He pauses. "Went Out."

I furrow my eyebrows. Why did he stutter like that?

"Okayyy," I say, dragging the word on. "Well where did she go?"

"She just went out okay May?" He snaps at me.

"God, okay. Don't freak out at me." I say back to him, just as snappy as he was to me.

"Why do you always play 20 questions with me every time we talk, huh?!" He yells at me, rising from the chair he was sitting in.

It surprises me that he even paused Call of Duty to yell at me.

"Why are you freaking out at me? I woke up and Mum was gone so I just wanted to know where she went! Is that such a crime?"

"Well maybe if you didn't sleep all the fucking time then you would realize the world doesn't stop for you. The world doesn't revolve around May Clifford!" Mikey yells at me.

I huff and begin to storm upstairs.

"Where the hell are you going?" He yells at me.

"For a smoke! I don't need to be yelled at right now." I yell back at him as I get upstairs.

I walk all the way upstairs to my room and go into my bedside table drawer, pulling out my package of cigarettes. I grab a cigarette and my lighter and shut the drawer. I turn around and immediately collide with a body.

"Get away from me Michael!" I yell, pushing Michael at his chest.

"You never told me you smoked." Michael says, his voice lower and calmer than before.

"We all have secrets." I retort.

His eyes narrowed. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"Well it seems like you and Mum are keeping secrets from me, so there shouldn't be a problem when I keep them from you." I say.

"How are we keeping secrets from you?"

"All I asked was where she was and you blew up in my fucking face! What was that about? Huh Michael? Why don't you tell me your secret since now you know mine!" I yell in his face.

He looks at me with sudden hurt in his eyes. Did I say something wrong?

"You-you called me Michael." He says.

Huh?

"That's your name is it not?" I ask him.

"You always call me Mikey. You have ever since you could talk May." He says, apparent sadness in his voice.

I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

"Seriously? That's what your worried about right now? The fact that I didn't use your stupid nickname? Is this all so you can divert the attention away from where Mum is? Grow up Michael." I say, making sure to use his full name again.

I push past him and go downstairs, putting my shoes and opening the front door.

I begin walking as I light my cigarette and try to not think about Michael and his childishness. I walk until I come to the diner. I remember Michael took me here when I came for a week last March. I remembered their burgers were great, and right now I could eat a whole cow. I throw my cigarette to the ground and put it out before walking into the diner. I sit down at a booth and immediately the waiter comes over.

"Hey, Can I get your order?" He asks me.

"Just a regular burger and a water, thanks."

He jots it down before walking off. I pull out my phone and decide to go on twitter. I click on compose tweet and tweet;

@MayClifford: Should have never came here.

I lock my phone but immediately get a notification. It was from Calum.

@CalumHood: @MayClifford then I would have never met you then :(

I chuckle at his tweet. He was sweet. I quickly favourite it and lock my phone again. I look around and see a family of four sitting at the booth across from me. A mother, father, son and daughter. It made me miss the way my family used to be. It made me miss my dad. Sure we weren't ever that close, but He actually attempted to spend time with me, which is more than my Mum has done since I've been here. Didn't she miss me all these months? And Michael just wanted to hang out with his friends. I wouldn't have even gone to hang out with him and Luke if Luke didn't invite me. Neither him or my mother want to spend any time with me. Maybe it's best if I just go home.

My thoughts are broken when I see someone stand in front of me. Speak of the devil.

"Uh-hey." Luke says, rubbing the back of his neck. "Can I sit?"

"I don't think that's the best idea." I say.

He sits down anyways. "May, don't ignore me. Come on. Look, can we just forget about what happened? It was a mistake and it was just in the heat of the moment. I barely even know you so I don't know why I even wanted to kiss you." He says.

Ouch.

"Jee thanks." I say, rolling my eyes.

"No, I didn't mean it like that! I just meant-"

I cut him off. "Look, it doesn't matter what you meant. It doesn't matter what almost happened because I've only known you for a week and that's all I'm going to know you for. It was nice meeting you Luke but, I'm going home. My real home." I say as I stood up, slapping money down without bothering to wait for my food.

I walk out of the diner without saying bye to Luke. Someone grabs me by the arm and turns me around. Luke, of course.

"Luke, leave me alone!" I say sternly.

"May you can't leave! Michael's been so excited about you coming! That's all he's talked about for weeks. He needs you here. You can't just leave him alone." Luke says, sadness is his eyes.

Needs me?

"He wouldn't be alone Luke. He has my mum. And he has you and the guys. And Cora. He hasn't made any effort to spend time with me while I've been here so it doesn't matter anymore. I miss Ian. And my dad. I'm going home, Luke. Stop trying to stop me." I say, turning around.

Luke doesn't say anything, so I keep walking.

I make it home and go straight to my room. I grab my suitcase from the closet and begin putting my clothes in. I'm glad Michael and my mum weren't around. I can't help but wonder where they both were, but they don't care about me so why should I care about them? After I finish packing everything up, I go downstairs to call a taxi. After I call the taxi, I call my dad.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Hey Dad."

"May, how is everything over there? I miss you!"

"Uh, about that." I say, choking on my words.

"May, what's wrong honey?" He asks worriedly.

"Dad, I'm coming home." I cry.

"What happened?"

"They don't care that i'm even here. I came to spend time with them and they don't care. I miss you. And Ian. And all my other friends. I can't spend one more minute here, let alone two months. I called a taxi and I'm taking a plane back to Melboune. I have money." I say.

"May honey, I'm sure Michael and your mother want you there! Please just stay there. They miss you like crazy."

"Dad, please?" I say desperately.

He sighs. "Okay, May. Get on the next flight."

We exchange goodbyes and I hang up. A few minutes later a horn beeps. It must be my taxi.

I grab my suitcase and walk out the door.

"Airport please." I say to the driver.

He begins to drive away and I take one last look at the house. I was actually going home. I hadn't shown it over the past few weeks but, I was so excited to come here to see Michael. I knew I would miss my friends and Ian but, I missed my brother more. And now, I was leaving him without even saying goodbye.
