Michael looked at the M&M in his hand. It was orange. He stood up and said "I have orange and I will share my favorite memory. Ha I didn't think it would be hard to think of one but it kind of is." He said smiling looking at his M&M and then at everyone. "Okay... I guess one of my favorite memories would be this one Christmas when my uncle Scott was over. It was getting late and he was about to leave and I hated when he left because i loved him so much. He was my hero. My superman... anyway before he left he decided he had to use the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom my step father came home. He use to abuse my mom a lot because he was a drug addict and was never in the right state of mind. So when he came home he was upset at my mother for some stupid reason as always and put his hands on my mom. I snapped out of bed when i heard him hit her.this happened often and I never liked it and I would always make sure it never got to bad and turn his attention towards me before it could. This time he was unlucky though because my uncle was there. My uncle came flying out of the bathroom and threw my step dad against the front door in which was made of metal. My step dad fought back but my uncle was too strong for him and my uncle landed a few punches on him before my mother could break it up. she begged my uncle to stop and he said fine and said he would stop when my step dad left. My step father turned around and left the apartment. Uncle Scott stayed a while longer to make sure he didn't come back. That night my uncle talked to my mom and convinced her to leave him. I didn't see my step father for a few years, but that night i decided I wanted to be just like uncle Scott. I wanted to be strong and protect the ones I loved like him and have a big heart that everyone loved me for, just like him. That might not seem like a very happy story but... it's one of my favorites." Michael looked around embarrassed as he realized his eyes were tearing then sat and wiped his eyes.
