~The next morning…~

Court day. Mike's mom was half freaking out, half excited, he won't hurt

mike anymore…. She thought but freaking out about mike seeing his father again, but how's he going to react, If he were to found innocent then...he'd just go back to being him, but if he's found guilty then...mike isn't gonna see him again, I personally don't plan on visits…. Pacing nervously back and forth throughout the living room, mike walked in wearing his suit but needed to have his tie tied on. "Mom?" His mother nearly jumped when he spoke, not noticing when he had entered the room. She walked over to him and got on one knee to tie and help button up his suit. She was wearing a silk, red, business jacket, a black V-neck underneath, a knee, velvet, skirt, gray stockings and black heels with a black sunhat sporting a silk ruby red ribbon bow on it's side. I guess courts are really fancy places. Mike thought. She straightened his jacket and tucked his outward pockets in then went into the kitchen to gather the custody and divorce papers that need signing, took his hand and they headed out the door.

The drive felt like forever, being in the car, mike began to doze off though he didn't exactly want to, because of his previous 'experience'. He chose to let himself crash just to try and see his personalities, I probably shouldn't tell mal about what day it is...I just know he'll try to take over and I can't have too much stress in a public place. Mike thought nervously, he finally went to sleep while his mother didn't notice.

Mike woke up in his subconscious, he was far outside the hall in the center of his mind. The hallway was lit up like always so you could tell someone was home and so, mike got up and looked around. From where he was, everything outside of the hall was in simple plain sight, nothing could be missed. The darkness from it's usual peaceful corner which hadn't bugged anyone for a while was completely invisible. There was an uncomfortable but seemingly on cue breeze that passed by him when he saw an empty corner which had previously stood a dangerous dimension that could've been his own downfall. He ran over to it, there was a long pause before he began to hyperventilate, he ran straight toward the wall and tried to feel around for some hidden passageway or secret portal. Nothing. He banged on the wall hard as if to shatter some illusion. Nothing. "Hello?! ANYBODY?! D, BUE...MAL?!" His personalities were able to hear him now and dashed out to see what was wrong. Svetlana started to tear up, vito looked down with clenched fists, chester gave an inspecting look while manitoba showed both seriousness and concern. "You pea-brains knew this was going to be his reaction, quit feelin' so sorry!" Chester walked away, while down the hall, he sighed as a single tear was shed then kept on walking. Mike was on his knees, head against the wall and silently sobbing as he just kept repeating the same word over and over again, "no". When he had heard chester's footsteps walking away, he immediately turned to all of them with a frightening glare showing nothing but hate, his personalities got scared at what mike might do. They knew he was sad and distraught but in his mind, with the snap of his fingers, just like D on his side, he could do anything. After only a few moments, mike had an idea and he ran straight toward the hallway, everybody tried to shield themselves but he just ran right past them and down the hall also passing chester. Maybe the mirror in mal's roo-. He made it to the spot where mal's room was but the door was gone. Mike fell to his knees holding his head tightly as though if he didn't it would explode from the stress and sadness and all the other bundles of emotions he was feeling. Manitoba, vito, and svetlana were on their way down the hall to see if he was all right, by the time they could see him, he was hyperventilating, his eyes wide open from shock, only a single shimmering tear was visible. The three personalities looked at each other, manitoba was the bravest to confront with the situation and so, walked slowly over to mike and got down beside him. He put his hand on his shoulder then mike's head just fell completely into his palms covering his face as he turned away. "I'm sorry mate...but we had to do it…." Mike turned to him, his expression just crushed his heart at how sad it was, there was a very small pause while manitoba half expected him to be furious and lash out on all of them but instead...hugged him tightly and sobbed. Svetlana walked over and rubbed his back, vito came over and ruffled his hair, pride too big to hug, but then looking down at mikes crying, tear stained face, he got down and hugged him to.
