Michael Myers x Jake Park [DBD]

Chapter 8

JAKE'S POV
I couldn't speak from how hard I was crying, I could barely breathe from how much I was coughing. My chest hurt BAD, I had a headache from my emotions all just going to my eyes and pouring themselves out. Michael came up to me and he kneeled next to me, you could tell he felt bad. He hugged me and I just sobbed into his chest while he held me tight. I was practically screaming while crying, I couldn't feel better, I couldn't stop crying. I know Michael is here with me right now but I still feel terrible. I had to take long stops to breathe because no matter how hard I was breathing, I couldn't breathe. I wanted to apologize to Michael a million times but I just couldn't speak, anytime I tried to, my voice cracked and came out in a bad coughing sob. I was trying to apologize again, but all I heard from Michael was "shhh" I looked up at him and I knew my eyes were red, and my face was red. Michael was rubbing my back, I tried to stop thinking about it but I just kept crying.
"Mi...chael.." I couldn't even say his name fully all at once. He looked down at me, "I..I-" I can't even apologize to him without stuttering and choking on my words, he understood that I couldn't speak right though. My eyelids started getting heavy, I stopped outright sobbing but tears still streamed from my eyes. Michael had picked me up and started bringing me inside. I couldn't even move my mouth anymore at this point, I just felt tear by tear come down my face. Michael had brought me to his room and set me down onto the bed. I couldn't think at this point, I just wanted to show or tell Michael that I was sorry. Michael laid next to me, I was happier when he was next to me. I could barely sleep because it hurt my eyes to close them.. so I just sat there reminiscing in my sorrow before drifting off to sleep.
When I awoke the next morning, I tried to clear my throat but it hurt so bad. Every-time I blinked, it hurt, I wasn't able to talk either. If I took even a remotely big breath, my chest started spasming and hurting like crazy. I almost started tearing up again from thinking about what happened but I just kept them in. When I went downstairs, I saw Michael cooking. I went up to him, I was going to be able to actually apologize to him but then nothing would come out. I had hurt my throat from crying so hard yesterday. I felt like I had a migraine too.. he just finished making breakfast, I gave him a hug. I tried clearing my voice for about 10 minutes before I was actually able to somewhat talk again. "Mi..chael, I'm so...rry about yesterday.." he nodded, I could tell he was smiling behind the mask. I'm glad he forgave me.
I started eating my breakfast, Michael slightly lifted his mask to eat his own food. I tried not to stare but I couldn't help it. He noticed I was staring, but instead of frowning, he grinned a little bit. I could feel my face heating up before looking away and finishing my food. Michael finished his just a bit after me and he took the plates into the kitchen. I didn't really know what to do since I was pretty bored, so I followed Michael into the kitchen. He didn't notice that I followed him into the kitchen, so I planned to scare him. I knew it probably wouldn't work since he knows every tactic, I wanted to try it anyways. I snuck behind him, the floor creaked so I hid behind the wall. I tried to stay as quiet as I could when going behind Michael, what I didn't realize was that he knew I was there. When I was about to scare him, he turned around fast and it made me jump. My heart skipped a beat when he turned around, I screamed and then covered my mouth. "I didn't think that was going to work anyways." I huffed.
I gave Michael a hug, "I'm not going to be back for a while, I just wanna spend time with my friends. I'll be back in a few days though." He nodded, I then put my shoes on and left the house. I went back to the campfire, I saw David, Leon, and Claudette. I went up to Leon, I never told him what was going on between Michael and I, but I guess he picked up on it. "Leon, thank you for helping me when I needed it. There's nothing wrong anymore and I'll listen to you next time if something goes wrong." He smiled at me, "Don't stress yourself too much, I'm just here to help." He was so comforting to talk to. I noticed that David was staring at me, and staring hard. I brushed it off and I walked over to Claudette, when she saw me, she smiled. "I haven't seen you in a while! What's up Jake?" She spoke in a cheerful tone. She got up and hugged me, "I've missed you!" I hadn't seen her in a while.
      I walked up to David, I was about to say something but then he spoke first. "Where were you?" he looked worried but then angry at the same time. "I was at a friend's but I-" he then cut me off again, "What friend?" I didn't feel like answering him. He was pissing me off and I didn't feel like giving in to his annoyance, but then I did anyways. "You don't need to know that, David. As I was going to say, I've missed you as well." I was incredibly annoyed at this point. "I'm sorry, I was just worried about you. I've missed you too." He then held out his arms for a hug. I hesitated but I gave him a hug anyways, I didn't keep any feelings against him because I know how worrying for a friend feels. When we stopped hugging, he cupped my cheeks, "May I?" I didn't know was he was about to do so I just said "Mhm?" To my surprise, he gave me a kiss on my forehead. I could tell that I was getting redder and redder, he let go of me and smiled. "Don't think of it as anything, I just didn't want you to think anything bad when I was questioning you. Or do think of it as something.." he winked at me.
