Merome~, Merome~, I'm writing more Merome. Don't f*cking ask... I totally ship it. Like, if you mess with Merome, I will slit your throat and-

Time to get to that story~! Heh...

Mitch walked through the school doors, a whole 45 minutes early just like him and Jerome always did. It was like religion, their friends would show up 15 minutes early. He got half an hour alone with Jerome, whom he might have the hugest crush on.

Can’t kill the way I feel; Can’t stop a hurt so real. Can’t kill what I’ve denied; There’s nothing left to sacrifice. I stand on solid ground; Look up from falling down. There’s nothing left unsaid; I live with no regrets. I feel so alive, I could die! I would break, I would burn, I would suffer; There’s nothing I wouldn’t do, do for you. I would lie, I would steal, for no other. You make me feel so alive; So alive I’d die for you!

Mitch walked down the halls, his earbuds playing a song that described him perfectly. It's stupid really. He was oh so obsessed with his best friend, who was probably straight. Jerome had had girlfriends in the past, god had they killed him. But Jerome, Jerome made him feel like he was finally living again.

There’s nothing left to hide; Want you to see inside. For me there is no doubt; My heart is yours, so rip it out! I don’t expect you to understand this: I’ll take what you give, but I won’t take it for granted. I feel so alive, I could die! I would break, I would burn, I would suffer; There’s nothing I wouldn’t do, do for you. I would lie, I would steal, for no other. You make me feel so alive; So alive I’d die for you!

Mitch had always let Jerome read him like a book, he was open to any understanding he wanted. He was better than a book though, because he responded. He was ready to offer Jerome his heart, he deserved it. Jerome had helped Mitch through times where everyone had given up. He needed to know the truth, even if it killed him.

Take my heart just rip it out! Rip it out! I’d die for you! Take my heart just rip it out! Rip it out! 

He was going to tell Jerome. As he began to approach their meeting spot, he took out one earbud and his phone. He went to go pause the music as he got closer to their hallway.

I would break, I would burn, I would suffer; There’s nothing I wouldn’t do, do for you. I would lie, I would steal, for no other; You make me feel so alive (so alive). I would break, I would burn, I would suffer... 

Mitch turned the corner and the whole world froze. Jerome was pinning some girl against the wall, kissing her. No struggling, nothing. Mitch dropped his phone and earbuds, the glass shattering like his heart. He spun the corner and ran off, done with it all.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do, do for you. I would lie, I would steal, for no other. You make me feel so alive; So alive I’d die for you! 

Take my heart just rip it out! Rip it out! I’d die for you! Take my heart just rip it out! Rip it out!

Jerome and the girl split for air, looking around to check for some sense of time. Jerome's eyes landed on Mitch's phone, pieces of screen scattered around it with his earbuds knotted within. Only one thing left his mouth:

"Is that Mitch's phone?"

Sorry it's short, if it's short. The lyrics probably make it look a lot longer. :P, I ACTUALLY WROTE SOMETHING!! I GOT INSPIRATION ON THE BUS THIS MORNING AND I WENT ASDFGHJKL;'

Yep, that happened.
