Finally! Took longer than I thought... Well, my family took me here and there and didn´t let me finish this...
Ok, first of all, I want to say: Thanks to the unknown uploader, you really made my day with all those reviews ;)
Now, about the story: A little of Mike´s past is revealed. But, I have to warn you, this chapter is really strong…
And I´m not kidding, I´m going to put where is the strong part, you can skip it or not, as you wish. If you read it, you´ll understand why did I change from K+ to T...
Anyway: I DON´T OWN TOTAL DRAMA, (although I wish I did) and I´m only a fan who wants to write a story about this because it´s so awesome and that...
Zoey´s P.O.V.
It has been like 5 days! I don´t know what to do. I was going to apologize to him, but he hasn´t come to school for the past 3 days. 5 days without seeing him are the worst days of my life…
-"Hey Dakota"
-"Hi Zoey, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
-"Umm…yeah, thanks"-It´s getting annoying, she has been asking me that for the past 5 days…
-"That´s good"
-"Yeah…Hi Sam"
-"I have something else to do, see you later"-he has been avoiding me since…Saturday? Sunday? I really don´t remember…
-"Wait! Have you seen Mike?"
-"The last time I saw him was on Sunday morning…"-and he walked away.
-"Why do you ask for him? You deserve better"
-"I know, but it´s just that…I-I can´t stop thinking about him"-I wasn´t lying at all.
-"Well, I´m going to help you; why don´t we have an only-girls day?"
-"I´d love to, but I have to take Miss Puffycheeks to the vet"
-"Oh well…what about tomorrow"
-"Yeah, why not?"
-"Yeah!"
Then, we went to our classrooms.
Later that day…
Last class, finally, since we started classes, I´ve only been watching his seat, empty, he always tried to sit right next to me in all the classes that we had together (which were all except one).
I watch the clock: 1 minute and classes are over. I kinda lied to Dakota, Miss Puffycheeks is fine, I just wanted an excuse so I can visit him, I promised that to Dawn and I want to do it…

I walked to Mike´s house, it´s 15 minutes from school, so I´ll get there really fast. When I got to the door, I really felt nervous…
I knocked the door; 20 seconds later, the door opened.
-"Z-Zoey?"-Mike was wearing dirty clothes, his always-blue-clean shirt was a little black, and so his pants; he wasn´t even wearing shoes. His eyes were a little red and his hair was a little messy…
-"Hi…"
-"What…are you doing here?"
-"Well, you didn´t go to school and I was worried for you…"
-"And? Why would you even care?"
-"Mike, look, I-I´m sorry, it´s just that…I wasn´t thinking and I… I still love you, I didn´t know what I was doing and… did it for fame and I-I wanted to be popular; after, you know…that, I felt something was missing, and that something is you Mike, I´m really, REALLY sorry if I broke your heart, I DO love you and I want us to be back together. Please, forgive me…"-I tried not to cry, but my efforts were in vain, as I started to cry just as I finished telling him that…
-"So, Sam was right…"-He muttered. He then turned to me-"Zoey…"-his voice was shaky-"I-I…I CANNOT forgive you, do you know what has happened to me since the break-up?! First, I was expelled from the football team; second, I got letters from different people, DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I GET NEAR SAM OR DON´T APOLOGISE TO YOU?! Dakota, or shall I say: Dakotazoid will kill me! I even got a letter from one of your fans, and believe me, EVERYONE hates me now; Tell me, why did I even do to you? ..."-He was starting to get angry, but he calmed down and continue-"You don´t even know what happened next, I was really depressed, there were few people that actually listened to me, Sam, for example"-He sounded as if he was going to cry-"He listened to MY version of the story, but he only paid me attention because I told him BEFORE the news showed that clip; the other one was Izzy, she…she actually figured it out by herself…"
-"Mike, I…"
-"Not even Cameron has contacted me, I have tried, with almost all my friends, but no one answers me, and that´s when I thought that things couldn´t get worse…"
He started to cry, I let him do it, I just waited patiently, wiped tears from my eyes and stared at him. God, what have I done?
After a while, he could finally calm down and saw me at the eyes, his eyes were filled with rage, but at the same time, they were sad; I looked at him, I didn´t noticed it before, but his hands and wrists were wrapped with some bandages and I swear I could see a little blood.
-"Then, it happened…I received a phone call…"
-"And…what did it say?"-I muttered
-"My-my…MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!"
WHAT? Was that the reason he didn´t go to school?
-"Mike, I´m REALLY sorry…"
(A/N: This is the STRONG part (more or less); continue reading at your own risk…)
-"It doesn´t matter now… Then, I thought: is it really worth it to continue to live? If everyone hates me, why shall I continue in this world? Wherever I go, people will just look at me with rage and I didn´t even do anything! EVERYONE hated me, and just because of the STUPID news, why were they so angry?! People break up every day and that´s all, they don´t want to kill you or anything. But I remembered, in this town, EVERYONE likes you; people would just believe you more than me…"
I really made him that miserable. I knew I didn´t have to, but I wanted to know:
-"And then…what happened?"
-"What do you think are the bandages for?"
Did he…Did he just tried to kill himself?
-"Mike…"
-"I discovered something, knifes are not a good way to kill yourself…"
-"MIKE! Did you try to cut off your veins?!"
-"Turns out you are really smart… "-He smirked-"But something happened, something that didn´t happen for years…"
-"Wh-What?"
-"How would my friends react? I still have some, if they found out, what will happen? I left the knife, but it was too late, as I cut my skin; a little more, and the knife would have reached the vein…Then, nothing; I appeared in the couch, I had a forming scar in each wrist, and they were still bleeding. Didn´t know how, but I saw at the table and found some bandages. I washed my wounds and put the bandages on. I thought of what happened: how did I appear on the couch…?"
-"M-Mike…"
(A/N: Here, the STRONG part finishes here… You could have skipped the part above; it is important, but not REALLY important…)
I didn´t know what to think, he told me every single detail, how could he?! He´s right, I should have thought of the future, before breaking up with him. All of this happened because of me, it was ALL my fault…
-"And I found the answer a little bit later…"
He just sighed. I tried to process the information he has just given to me, but I still have a question, why exactly would he kill himself? I just forgot everything I know about Mike and focused on what I knew of people like him: People with MPD usually are like that because they had an awful childhood; maybe that´s the answer, his brain processes things very different from people without MPD, he might have been affected by that and thought everyone disliked him. Even though, if his parents threatened him badly, why would he miss them?
-"Mike, I just want to know, what were your parents like?"-I didn´t know them directly, he just mentioned them, but didn´t talk about them.
-"The biological or the ones who adopted me?"
He-He is adopted?! That would explain many things…
-"B-Both…"
He shrugged-"There´s not many things to say: The first ones were awful parents, my mom was better than my dad, but she was a little bit crazy; my dad, he only mistreated me, every day he found a worst way to make me suffer. After some time, he…died. But the government separated me from my mother. I spent some time in an orphanage, then, they adopted me and they were the best parents I could ever had"
-"But, if you live with the Smiths…"
-"Lived"-He whispered
-"Sorry… If you lived with the Smiths, so, which was your last name?"
-"Don´t know, Manitoba knows, but he never told me"
-"Oh...Mike, I´m so sorry, if there´s anything I could do…"
-"Actually, there is"
-"Yes?"
-"Leave me alone"-and he closed the door.
-"Alright"-And I turned around to leave; I just looked for the last time to his door and muttered: "I´m so sorry, I hope one day you can forgive me…"
Ok, now, I made this chapter WAY LONGER...
Don´t be rude at Mike, if you were "in his shoes" or "in his place", you would have done the same...
I know I´m bad at the ortography and grammar thing. I try my best, so please forgive me...
Didn´t intend to make it that...what´s the word?...Dark (?) He was just going to tell her that his parents died and that´s all, then I thought of Mike jumping of a house and then, when I wrote this, this came.
Very descriptive, Mike... Don´t know what to think of this chapter, by the way...
I´ll promise next chapters will be...soft-er...
So, until then: Review, PM, favorite, follow, eat, uhh... dance, mmm... explode, jump, 9, eighty-seven, or whatever while Lightning makes a touchdown
(Didn´t know what´s with this reference if I hate him...)
