In the living room, Mike was pacing back and forth,

"She didn't listen to me,..I'm so mad at her,..I mean she doesn't know what kind of trouble she's getting in...", he suddenly stopped pacing. With his head lowered down, he made a decision,

"She's never going to be talk to me again. I acted ridiculous." He looked in the mirror and nodded to himself. The room was quiet. He stood perfectly still. Mike's facial expression went from a lowered down head, to him straightening up,with his teeth clinched in anger. His hand turned into a fist, he turned around and punched the wall! Luckily, he did not leave any holes."Dang it!", he shouted.at himself. He put both of his hands on his head, feeling the hair smooth under his palms.

"Why, why ,can't I do anything right!? She will never speak to me again! You idiot!", he grabbed the air with his hands, shouting at himself and the world.

Mike heaves a big sigh,"Maybe ,I should leave ! She would probably be happy if I left.", Said Mike to no one in the empty room.

Mike as he looks around him at the stairs that lead upstairs, and with the thoughts on how nice of Veruca to let him stay at her place, or , when she bailed him out of jail,or ,showing him how to be in a real life conversation,or,showing him on how to drink tea with the thoughts swirling in his head.

"Oh,who am I'm kidding? I'm probably just being overly dramatic.I should go apologize.", says Mike to himself,as he goes up the stairs.

Meanwhile In Veruca's bedroom~

Veruca was also pacing back and forth with the door shut, hoping that her voice wasnt carrying off for Mike to hear.

"What is he talking about? Cant he see, I just wanted to have tea with Brook and that's it?", she was talking to herself as she continued to pace.

"Can't he see that I'm now under so much pressure with my Daddy being in the hospital? I just needed someone to talk to!?", Veruca tried to reason with herself. She stopped pacing thinking about her Daddy in the hospital. She took exhaled in and breathed out. Her face looked pale and her mouth frowned.

She looked up at the ceiling shouted,"I thought you would always be there for me!" As she looked down sadly.

"But you're not it's because of me...", she said to herself as a tear formed in her eye. "I act like a dumb foolish little girl, so just blame me...",Veruca said, as she starts tearing up, she sits on the bed.

"I'm just a dumb foolish little girl as always.", she said. She continues to cry. The bedroom was silent for a minute with Veruca crying her eyes out. After a while, she heard, "I never said you were dumb and foolish.".

Veruca stopped crying to see where that voice came from. She suspected it came from the closed door.

The door swung open.Mike.

"Mike were you listening the whole time?", asked Veruca. She was embarrassed of herself.

"Well, no.", he lied.

Veruca stared at him,making him to tell the truth.

"Yes. Its just ,wow, I've never seen you this unhappy.", said Mike,as he scratched his head as he sits on the bed with her.

"I mean, I get it,that you're upset that your Dad is in the hospital. You want to talk about it with someone.",said Mike, as he turned towards her.

"But you can always talk to me.", said Mike.

Veruca was silent. She just blinked at him with her eyes wide. Mike took a deep breath, "Look, I'm trying to say that I'm sorry the way I acted. If you don't accept my apology,then,you can say- I'm lazy,I'm irresponsible, I'm not so smart.. but, I just want you to know I'm sorry."

Mike as he looked down sadly with his eyelids lowered. He sprung back up when he felt Veruca's hand on his.

"Apology accepted. You know, your support means everything to me. I'm glad I let you stay.", said Veruca.

"Then, I'm happy that I'm staying with you", said Mike.

Veruca let out a smile,with her cheeks red. Then, she pulls him into a hug.

"Thank you, Mike! Thank you for everything.",she said.

Mike hugs back,but,then,they heard the doorbell ring,

"Who can be at your door this late at night?", asked Mike.

Veruca hears her phone ring. She answered the phone. It was from one of her nightshift security guards,saying a friend wants to see both of them.Mike and Veruca look at each other. They run down to the door. Veruca reached to the door and opens it.

Veruca and Mike had their mouths opened, they recognized this person! The person turned out to be a man that was very large, has red hair and a mustache."

Hey guys.",he starts chuckling with a warm smile on his face.

"I know you don't recognize me,but it's me,Augustus Gloop!" he said happily.
