After Mike ran out of Tina's room, many thoughts were going through his head.
OMG I can't believe I actually said that out loud. Now she's going to think I'm a complete loser. How am I going to face her? OH GOD!
He was too busy thinking that he wasn't watching where he was going, and bumped into the last person he wanted to see.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Mike demanded.
"Chill out Mike! I'm here to see Tina! How is she?" Mike lost his temper.
"You want to see her? After all the pain you caused her, you actually have the balls to come to the hospital to "see" her?" Why I outta–"
"Mike Mike! Calm down! I only want to see how she's doing."
"See how she's doing? How do you think she's doing? She's in all this pain because of you! SHE LOOKS AWFUL! She's in a lot of physical and emotional pain and it's all your fault Arthur Abrams! I will not let you see her! You'll just do more damage!" Mike practically yelled.
"Mike I –"
"GET OUT!" Mike yelled. Artie, taken aback by Mike's outburst, had no choice but to leave the hospital. A nurse came up to Mike.
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. You're disturbing our patients." Mike nodded and left the hospital.
While walking home, Mike was thinking again. The gall of him to actually come and see Tina. After he had already caused her so much pain.
Artie in the meantime, was trying to get ahold of Sunny. She ditches school a lot, because she thinks it's a waste of time, so he wasn't able to confront her at school. But he knew it was Sunny who hurt Tina, and he wasn't going to let her get away with it, girlfriend or not. Artie decided to be sneaky. He calls Sunny, and as usual, she doesn't answer. He leaves her a voice message. Hey Sunny, it's Artie. I haven't seen you around school for a week and even for you, that's uncommon. I'm worried about you. Please call me back. I need to know that you're alright. Please Sunny, talk to me. I miss you.
Later that night, Sunny calls Artie back.
"Sunny! Are you okay? You haven't been answering my calls for days. Did something happen?"
"Oh Artie, I did a horrible thing. I didn't mean to I swear, but my mood swings got the better of me." Artie knew what she was talking about but decided to play dumb.
"What did you do? You make is sound really serious."
"IT IS! My friends and I beat up your ex girlfriend Tina!" Artie remained calm.
"Really? Why would you do something like that? I already told you that I can never be with Tina again. Why would you still need to beat her up?"
"Because I got jealous. I saw you two talking last week and my mood swings just took control, just like they do sometimes." Artie's end remained silent.
"Artie? Please help me. What am I going to do. I don't want to go to jail. I'm really not a bad person. You know that. Please help me!" Artie sighs.
"Sunny, I don't know if I can help you. What you did was really serious. What you did is called gang violence. I'm not sure if you'll be safe. You can bet that the police will do a thorough investigation. Not to mention a lawsuit if Tina's family decides to sue the perpetrator. At this point, all you can do is come clean and apologize. The judge will hopefully reduce the sentence."
"Oh Artie, I'm so scared. I know I ditch school and don't really have good grades, but I was still planning on going to college. This will hinder everything!"
"I'm sorry Sunny, but that's the way it is."
"You'll be on my side though, right?"
"Huh?"
"You'll support me through this incident right? You'll defend me and everything?"
Artie hesitated. Sunny may be extreme, but he was really starting to like her. Her behavior left little to be desired, but deep down, Artie knew Sunny was a good person.
"Sure Sunny. I'll help you. But we may need to get you professional help about your controlling mood swings or you may end up killing someone in the future.
"Okay. So what do I do now? Sunny asked.
