Love and Life (Merome)

#Merome

**Mitch PoV**

          I ran through the city, regretting what I had said. My head was pounding. Everything that had gone on today. I was right. The door almost came off its hinges when I burst through. What I saw was what I feared most.
         Jerome lay on the floor, blood oozing from his wrist. Adam ran in also, Team Crafted had followed me. By the time I spoke Adam was already on the phone with the ambulance. There was a note. I didn't want to read it. But at the same time I was curious to what my best friends last word would be. He is going to be okay, right?
          The hospital truck came as I picked up the letter. I decided to read it on the way to the hospital. I quickly grabbed the letter and went to the truck. "What's your name, sir?" The doctor asked. "Mitchell Hudges." I replied. "Whats your relationship towards the patient?" He continued. I realized that I had told him a different last name than his. He would believe something like boyfriend, right?
            "This man is, he's, he's the love of my life!" I burst into tears, both real and fake for effect. "Oh, I'm sorry sir. You just don't seem..." His voice trailed off. "What, seem like I can love guys?!" I did my best to seem hurt. "I'm sorry sir, you can ride in." "T-thank you." I knew it would pass. Merome is widely shipped anyways.
              I thought about it. I looked at Jerome. I couldn't like him, could I? His brown hair, his beautiful, perfec-  Why was I thinking that?!? Did I actually like Jerome?? Would Merome be a thing? If I did, did he like me back? I decided to read the letter. I read how I shouldn't be guilty. But, I read about how he liked me. I should tell him I like him. But I don't actually know my feelings towards him. But his voice makes me happy inside. I guess that I should tell him that if- no when- he wakes up. I realized that he was my first love. Was he my love? Yes. Merome was real. I grabbed his hand and let a tear slip. "Merome is real, Jerome. Merome is real."
