Okay, I'm carrying onJ thank you guys! Just a little note, when the writing is in Bold and Italic then that is the character thinking to themselves in their heads…basically.

Christine still was standing in the garage stunned by what her best friend had just said, he can't mean that can he? I mean he always freezes every time I'm going out with Jake or just leaves uncomfortably, but he just said that then drove off didn't he? If someone said that they're in love with you for a joke, they wouldn't walk away, they'd stand there and laugh about it, and then you'd laugh too…why aren't I laughing at this, why wasn't he laughing?

She walked back over to her house, thinking about this, forgetting about the car that her father wasn't going to like if she hadn't cleaned it, but that was the least of her problems, right now, her best friend had just said he loves her, she sat down onto the couch and just well…thought.


Michael stormed into his house and slammed the door shut, completely forgetting that he wasn't alone, "OH MY GOD MICHAEL YOU'RE AN IDIOT, ABSOLUTE IDIOT, WHY DID YOUR STUPID MOUTH HAVE TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD, AHH" he was pacing in the hallway.

"MICHAEL STACCATO VINCENT HODGINS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SLAMMING THE DOOR FOR!?" Angela walked out into the hallway to see her son obviously annoyed about something, very annoyed.

Michael calmed down and realised how angry he must have looked right now, "Sorry mom, uh, I'm just gunna head up to my room now,"

"No, you're not, not until you tell me why you just came storming in here angry as hell and almost breaking the door off of its hinges!"

Now, Michael knows his mom, and he knows if he doesn't tell her every single little detail about why he's angry, then…well, all hell will break lose, but this, uh uh, this is too big to tell her about, his mom will tell Brennan, then she will tell Booth then I'll be dead by the end of the day as soon as Booth finds out., "It's nothing mom"

"No. it's something, you don't come in here acting like you are unless something big happened…did you have an argument with Christine?"

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes "No, mom, don't worry about it okay, sorry for slamming the door."

Yeah, Angela saw right through that one, "It is Christine, what happened" she'd never seen him this angry or upset before and this is her own son, must have been a big argument. "Michael, you need to tell me, or I swear to god, I will drive over there myself and ask Christi-"

"NO!" Shit, I need to stop having outbursts like that.

"Okay, right, you," she pointed at him ", tell me. Now." She raised one eyebrow at him and he knew he was never going to get out of this one.

He stared at her hoping she would back down but that was never going to happen, "I-I'm…I'm in love with Chrissy" Okay, you've said it, now you just have to wait, crap, oh god.

"Well I already knew that"

His eyes practically bulged out of his head, "Yo-You…How do you kn-What?"

"Well you do make it pretty obvious, the way you're so protective of her, the way you look at her every time you see her, and whenever she walks into the room and you make her laugh…it's like seeing you on Christmas morning when you were five and your father got you a bug"

He blushed and suddenly found the floor very interesting.

"So that's what all of this is about, you being in love with Christine?"

"No, well yes and no, partly," he looked up and carried on ", I kinda blurted it out when we were, sorta arguing."

He saw his mother stare at him blankly then her face broke out into a huge smile, "Well it's about time!"

"What! No its not, I don't know when or how, but I sure as hell wasn't planning on telling her like this! I'm the idiot who just practically screamed at his best friend that he loves her! She froze and stared at me, with this expression and it- I… I don't know what it was but it dint look good, then I just stormed out of the garage and drove home and if I could I would punch myself for doing that because I might have just ruined the best thing that has ever happened in my entire life!"

Angela stared at him, that was more of an outburst than she ever thought she'd hear from him, "Well, you need to go and tell her that, exactly that, because I see that she loves you, you were just lucky enough to realise you were in love with her first, she hasn't realised that yet, and I bet you, she's very close to realising that right now."

Michael just stood there and in one swift movement, he grabbed his keys, and ran out the door again.


Aha! Im kinda liking this now!
