May 28th 3pm eastern standard time
(School)
It was the last day of school and the bell had rung. Papers flew in the air as everyone ran out of the school to say goodbye to their friends and get on their buses to go home and start their break. Since, Luke and Michelle didn't live far from the Loft, they walked home. They walked across the street, but stopped when they heard Luke's name being called.
"Hey, you hear me talking to you, faggot."
It was Ben. Luke didn't look back at Ben, trying to avoid any confrontation, but Michelle turned around.
"What did you just say?" She asked.
"I wasn't talking to you, bitch."
"Hey!" Luke yelled, turning around. "Don't talk to my sister like that."
"Shut up, pussy boy."
Scott and Elsie, who were about to get on their bus, heard the argument and decided to help. Scott tapped Ben on the shoulder.
"Is their a problem, Ben?"
"Hey, man, what's up?"
"Is their a problem, Ben?" Scott asked again, ignoring Ben friendly greet.
"I was just saying goodbye to this pretty lady." Ben said, pointing to Michelle.
"Save it. We heard you starting shit." Elsie said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Don't you have someone else to annoy, Elsie?" Ben asked.
"I'm talking to him right now."
"What do you want, Ben?" Luke asked, ready to go home.
"Hey, fag, no one asked you to talk!" Ben snapped.
Luke sighed and threw his backpack on the ground, as he walked towards Ben.
"Come on, lets do this." Luke said, putting his fist up. "I'm sick of you pushing me around."
"You seriously want to fight me?" Ben asked, laughing.
"Yeah! Why do you like kicking my ass? Huh? What is so fun about calling me a Fag all the time?"
Ben was speechless, he had never seen Luke act like the way he was acting.
"You don't know how to talk? Come on, fight me." Luke demanded.
"I think he's scared." Scott said, with a smirk.
"I'm not scared. I just don't feel like fighting you." Ben said, without any emotion.
"He's never been in a real fight before." Elsie said. "He's just use to pulling sneak attacks."
"What a coward." Michelle said.
"Shut up."
"I'm starting to think you have a crush on me, Ben." Luke said, with a smile as his fist were still up.
Ben tackled the blonde boy the grounded and began punching him. Scott held Michelle and Elsie back.
"What are you doing?" Asked Michelle.
"We need to help him!" Elsie said.
"He's got this, ok? Relax!" Scott said, with confidence.
Just when Scott said that, Luke flipped Ben onto his back and started punching him in the face. The three bohos saw blood everywhere.
"You broke my nose!" Ben screamed.
"Should we pull Luke off of him?" Michelle asked.
"No! seeing Luke beat the shit out of Ben is like the greatest scene ever!" Elsie said, clapping her hands. "Luke, use the force!"
Everyone stopped and looked at her. Ben took this as an opportunity and started choking Luke. Luke took his hands and squeezed them around Ben's thick neck. They both squeezed as hard as they could until Ben passed out.
"Is he dead?" Michelle asked.
"He's not moving." Luke said, wiping the dirt off his jeans.
Ben began to cough.
"Fuck!" Ben said, clearing his throat.
Luke stood over him, as he lie on the ground coughing.
"How does it feel to get your ass kicked by a true fag, Benny boy?" Luke asked in a cocky tone.
Elise, Scott, and Michelle laughed and walked to the Loft.

(The Hospital)
Mark entered Mickey's hospital room with a bouquet of lilies.
"More flowers?" Mickey asked with a smile.
"Oh, no! Am I doing too much? I'll take them back." Mark said turning around.
"No, no, no. come back here." Mickey said.
"Ok…now I'm embarrassed."
"Don't be. Even though it's cute, I don't want you to be embarrassed."
Mark took a seat next to her bed. Mickey had been getting better than anyone had expected. Mark got a full month off, so he could try to get Mickey back to the way she used to be.
"Mark?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you tell me about.…..us?" She asked, curiously.
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything."
"That's a very long story." He warned her.
"I've got the time."
Mark smiled and began to tell her the story.
