Jeremy's POV
Mike walks out if Freddy fazbears, jeremy walking behind him in tow. Jeremy's head was down, his eyes on the sidewalk. Mike looked behind him at Jeremy, concern showing in his eyes. Mike grabbed Jeremy's hand, and a deep red blush alighted Jeremy's features.
Jeremy couldn't believe this had happened..... He couldn't believe it at all. Jeremy snook a glance at Mike. Were those tears in his eyes? Tears stang Jeremy's own eyes. He couldn't believe he had hurt Mike like this. He was an idiot. Guilt gnawed at his stomach, as his thoughts continued to darken. Your an idiot.... You don't deserve Mike.... You don't deserve life ...
Your a mistake.
Jeremy looks ahead. Mikes car is just 27 yards away. He didn't want to go to a hospital, he didn't want to get better.
He didn't want to see his dad, he didn't want to deal with life's pain.
" Get in the car, kid." Mike says, his voice choppy, most likely from the tears. The tears that Jeremy had caused. Jeremy looked at Mike for a second, then made a decision. He took one last glance at his best friend...
And he began to run.
Mikes POV):
Mikes eyes widened as Jeremy began to run.
" Kid!!" Mike took off, running after his friend. He ran past the pizzeria, which was in new light as the sky began to lighten, the sun already rising. He sprinted, panting. Running never was his sport. But Jeremy was ahead of him. Fear spread through Mike. If Jeremy ran away, he might hurt himself even more. He might kill himself. Adrenaline coursed through Mike, and he ran faster. The woods that bordered the town were only 75 feet away. Mike knew that if he went into the thick woods, he might never see his friend again. Jeremy was loyal, and Mike knew he would go anything to help his friend feel better. And Mike knew that Jeremy would do the same-
A lightbulb sparked in his mind. It was a dirty trick. But it must be done.
Mike ran until he was close enough to be in earshot of Jeremy.
" Kid- AH!" Mike tripped, and he fell to the pavement. Jeremy faltered, And looked behind him. Mike stayed absolutely still. Jeremy took a few steps toward Mike.
" M-Mike...?" Mikes eyes suddenly opened, and he tackled Jeremy. Jeremy cried out in surprise. Tears flowed down his cheeks. " You tricked me!! I-I trusted you and you t- tricked me!!' Jeremy struggled as Mike held him down. Jeremy broke one of his hands free from Mikes strong grip, and raised his fist. It hit Mike in the eye, which quickly swelled. Mikes eyes widened, but he quickly went back to holding Jeremy down. Jeremy rolled to the side, bringing Mike with him. They tumbled down into a ditch, gaining scratches as the tough ground ruthlessly scraped them. Jeremy sobbed, and said
" M-Mike just stop!!" Mike faltered as Jeremy's eyes overflowed with tears. " P-Please..." Jeremy cried, and Mike let go of him. Jeremy curled into a ball, rocking himself. Mike stopped abruptly.
He moved toward Jeremy, and hugged him. Jeremy hugged back, mikes warmth eventually calming his tears.
" Let's go kid...."
" O-O-Okay."
