Michael Afton x Reader ~ We'll Be Ok

I Went Too Far

----------The end of the school day------------

Michael and I were picked up by Mr. Afton. Chris and Elizabeth were both in the backseat, but I'm not one to call shotgun, so Michael sat in the front and I sat in the back with the two younger kids. Elizabeth was really talkative, unlike Chris, who just sat in silence, hugging his plushie to his chest .

We arrived at the diner about 5 minutes later. We all got out and walked inside. A few of Michael's friends were there, so I kinda just went off to do my own thing. I sat down at a table and pulled out my phone. I mostly just scrolled through social media, since I had nothing better to do.

After a few minutes, I heard someone walk inside. I didn't look up until I heard someone say, "[Y/N]?" I looked up and saw Evelyn and Willow standing there. "Oh, hey guys," I said. "I thought that you were just going to go hang out at your house?"

"Well, we were, but then I remembered that on the way to my house, we have to pass by the diner. We knew that you were going to be here for a little while, so we figured that we'd stop by and say 'hi'," Willow explained.

"Well, have a seat," I said with a smile.

They both sat down in the booth and we just had some light conversation for a little while. It turns out that Evelyn's dad used to work here as a security guard. Her dad was apparently good friends with my dad. Willow apparently also has a younger brother named 'Mike'.

While we were talking, I noticed something that just seemed off. I looked over to see Michael and his friends surrounding Chris. They all had the different animatronic masks that you can get over at the prize counter. Chris was shaking. I wasn't sure if I should've said anything, but obviously Willow and Evelyn noticed it too, because Willow had gotten up and said, "Hey, could you guys just leave off of him for one day? It's his birthday! Let him enjoy it." Michael looked her directly in the eyes and flipped her off, going back to what he was doing. "Did he just flip me off?" she asked in an irritated tone. That's when I heard one of the guys say, "Wanna give Fredbear a kiss?" They lifted up Chris as Chris was saying, "Michael, stop!"

"I think that the little man said that he wants to get a closer look" one of the other guys said. I gave Evelyn and Willow a look that basically asked, "Should we do something?' We exchanged glances, but then heard a loud snap noise and the room went silent. I felt some sorta blood on my arm. I looked over and saw Chris in Fredbear's mouth. His neck was snapped. My eyes widened. I cupped my hands over my nose and mouth and just stared at the non - moving body of Chris.

It was silent until Michael said, "I-i-it was just a prank, I swear! I d-d-didn't know that this was going to happen, I didn't mean to hurt him! I shouldn't have done that!"

"Well, you did!" Evelyn said in an angry tone. We were all just close enough to have a little bit of blood on us. It was horrifying. William walked out to see what happened and when he saw Chris, he dropped to his knees, not being able to process this properly . I can't believe that Michael just caused the death of his own brother. It was all unbelievable.

-------------------------------------

Chris was rushed to the hospital, since he just went into a coma. William went with Chris, so one of the employees called Mrs. Afton to come and get Michael, Elizabeth and I. Mrs. Afton was devastated when she heard about what happened. By the time she arrived at the diner to get us, there was mascara running down her face. 

The car ride home was extremely quiet. It was way too graphic to think that I actually witnessed what happened in the diner that day. Michael was so guilty, but Mr. Afton is furious with him and absolutely despises him.

We ate dinner in silence. I lost my appetite when I saw what happened to Chris today, so I didn't eat very much. I'm pretty sure that Mrs. Afton could tell, because she suddenly just said, "I know. Eat what you can. You don't have to finish it if you're full." I thanked her and ate a little more before asking, "May I be excused?" She nodded and I went up to the room I'm staying in. I flopped onto the bed and hugged the pillow.

I just want to forget about it. I just can't believe that actually happened. Tomorrow's Saturday, luckily, so I didn't have to suffer through a day of school. Mrs. Afton's work let her have this weekend off. They were originally going to let her have Monday and Tuesday off, and maybe a few more days, but she insisted that she was going to be ok to come back to work on Monday.

I closed my eyes and tried hard not to think about it.
