Mike had never been one to openly express his feelings; he preferred to keep his vulnerabilities to himself. As his best friend, you were well aware of this. However, one day, he surprised you by calling, his voice trembling with tears. This was a first for him. Mike was facing a tough time, as he had just learned from his mother that she and his father were getting a divorce.

"i- i just need you..to be here.. okay? i'm sorry.. please. just- stay the night.."

he mumbled desperately, through tears.
