Hurt Mak/Mike's Book

awkward conversation

Michael's p.o.v

I keep calling Iris's phone number, but she doesn't answer. I even call Ashley and nothing. I call Lucas instead. "Hey bro, fùck, finally you answer the phone" I tell him. "What's up Mike?" he says. "You busy?" I ask. "Yeah, I'm with my dad. We're going to go get my suit for tomorrow, you need something?" he asks and I think that that is what I should be doing. "Bro, can you try calling Iris and see if she answers your call? She was caught on my home camera going into my sister's room and stealing the dress she is going to wear for prom along with jewelry that dad got Mak custom made and she trashed my sister's room. Mom is so pissed at me. I'm pissed too. I have no idea if Iris is trying to prank my sister or get back at her cause she accused them of beating her up, but my parents are going to kill me if I don't get the stuff back." I tell him. "I'll call her." he says and disconnects the call. Hopefully he can get to her quickly because time is ticking and I know my mother, she will have Iris arrested and I don't want anymore problems with my friends.

Lucas's p.o.v

"Dad, Iris stole Makayla's prom dress from their house." I tell dad what Mike just told me. "Why would she do that?" he asks me. "I have no idea. Can we stop by her house so she can personally return it to me?" I ask him. He nods. We pick up my suit, I get new shoes and everything I am going to need for tomorrow. We order Makayla's corsage and head over to iris's house. "I am going to have Marcus or Mayra send me a picture of the dress so we can make sure we are getting the right one back." dad tells me and I am so glad he is with me and is the smartest man I know, because I would have just got whatever dress she gave me. We pull up and see a couple cars in the driveway. We park and get off. "Okay, it's not just a dress, it's a pink box with jewelry in it" dad tells me. "You got the pics" I ask him. "Yeap" he says as we walk up to the front door. I ring the door bell and the maid opens the door. "Hello, can we please speak to the owner of the house" my dad asks before I even get a chance to ask for Iris. "Please, come in" she tells us and we follow her inside. She walks us into the living room where Iris is trying on clothes I believe, because she is wearing a long black dress. "Oh shìt" I hear dad whisper from besides me and he shows me the picture that was sent to him. She's wearing Makayla's dress and when he swipes to the next picture, I see that she is wearing the jewelry as well. What kind of weird shìt is Iris on? "Lucas" Iris says when she sees me and her eyes go over to my father. "Hello Mr. Lacey" she says. "Adam, Lucas" her mother Shirley gets up to greet us with a kiss on the cheek. "What can I do for you?" she asks dad. "Shirley, I am sorry, this is a little awkward, but I will get right to the point. Michael Brady, you know Marcus and Mayra's son. He had a party last night that your daughter attended and she was caught on camera stealing from their daughter's bedroom." dad says. Shirley turns around and looks at her daughter, then she turns back around. "My daughter is not a thief" she says. "Shirley, Michael has been trying to contact Iris all morning to get the items back, but Iris isn't responding." dad says. "Iris, what are they talking about?" her mom asks her. "I..I don't know mom. I didn't steal anything" she says. Dad hands Shirley the phone "Marcus sent me these pictures of the items your daughter took." Shirley looks at the pictures and then at her daughter. "Iris" she hisses. "Mom, I'm sorry" Iris cries. Shirley hands the phone back to dad. Dad texts Marcus and tells him the situation. "Give me the jewelry in the box it came in Iris and go take that dress off. How dare you go into someone's house and take things. I did not raise you to be a thief Iris" Shirley says. "She can keep the dress if she put it on already. Just get the jewelry please" dad shows me the text from Marcus and Mayra. We wait and once Iris returns with the dress and the box, I grab the little box and dad tells her she can keep the dress. The Brady's no longer want it. "I am so embarrassed. I will contact Mayra personally. I had no idea what my daughter was up to" Shirley tells dad who just nods and says goodbye. In the car on our way to drop it off at their house, dad tells me he has a good idea. "Makayla doesn't have a dress now. Here, take my card and get her whatever dress she wants on mom and I. Shoes and whatever else she needs too." he tells me. "Dad, are you sure?" I ask him. "Positive. Make it a little date. Just you two alone, go spend time with her. I know soon you will be gone so you both need time alone. Plus I am sure only you will be able to get through to her on what happened to her dress. Lets talk to her parents and make sure it is okay first" he says. I love how respectful my father is of everyone. He wants to gift her something, but make sure he isn't overstepping at the same time.

We get there and replay everything that happened. Mike sits on the couch looking mad aśś hell. I hand him the box of jewelry and he opens it and looks at it. "Where's the dress?" he asks. "Makayala is getting a new one" his mom says. "Of course she is" Mike says and rolls his eyes. He is really starting to piss me off. "Go to your room Michael" Marcus tells him and he gets up and hands him to box and leaves. "That kid" Marcus says, shaking his head. Dad looks at me, but doesn't say anything. "I wanted to ask you both if it is okay with you, Chris and I would like to buy Makayla's dress for Prom. She is going with our son afterall. Her and Lucas can go shopping together" dad tells them. "Oh, there's no need. We can pay for it" Marcus tells dad, but he insists. "We know you can pay for it, but we would really like to gift it to her. It would mean so much to us." dad says and just leaves it at that. Mayra smiles. "Okay" she says. "Thank you Adam, you and Chris have always been such good friends" Mayra says and holds dad's hands. I can't believe Marcus doesn't get jealous. This man can be alot. He pats dad's back. "Well, get to shopping Lucas and I guess you are explaining what happened to Makayla" Mayra says. "I got it, lets go dad" I say. I drop dad off and call Makayla who tells me she is in the hospital so I make my way over there. I pick up flowers for Courtney. I hope there's an update on her today. I also pick up flowers for my main lady. I get off and go to Courtney's room. Makayla's grandparents are in the waiting room and tell me that the room is full of people visiting. I sit with them for a moment and tell them what happened. "wow" is all they could both say. "Let me go get Makayla. I can bring these flowers in for you if you'd like" Her grandmother tells me and I nod and hand them to her. "Lucas, I want to thank you for being here for my little girl. I feel like alot has been put on you recently now that Mak has been going though alot and you have been here, helping her through it all. Thank you son. You are good for her." her grandfather tells me and I don't know why, but him saying this means so much, not that I need anyone to thank me or anything. I will always be there for Makayla, but I also want her family to like and accept me. I nod. "Lucas" I hear Makayla's beautiful voice. I look up and see her walking over to me with a huge smile on her face. She hugs me "Hey, we need to talk" I tell her. "Yeah, mom texted me that you were on your way here" she tells me. "Well, looks like we should be going, see you both later" her grandfather says and they leave. I give her her flowers and I sit her down and tell her everything that happened and after she gets over the anger, she agrees to go get a new dress.
