No Way to Live -Mavin fanfic-

Chapter 9

The fan-art for this chapter was made by the amazing Ichimated. (Scroll down and look on the right to see it.) Thanks a bunch! If anyone else is interested in drawing one then message me for the deets :) Everybody's gets to go on the story.

When I woke up Michael wasn't there. I looked around the hotel for him but there was no sign of him ever being there. I got dressed and sat on the bed, thinking about him. My brain couldn't stop imagining last night.

He got back and saw me slouched over on the bed.

"Hey sleepy head," he said. He set a bag down on the bed and I looked inside.

"Breakfast," he said as I realized what it was. I reached in and grabbed one of the pastries, hungrily taking a bite.

"Are we still going to leave today?" I asked.

"Ya, sorry buddy."

Our phones had been ringing with messages all night, and Michael didn't let me reply to any of them. I read through them though behind his back. Most just said things like 'What happened?' and some said things like 'Where are you guys? Please come back'. As I read them, I started to realize how angry I was at Michael for not telling me what he was hiding. Instead I had seductively lead him into bed.

"Michael," I said in an irritated voice.

"Gavy I know," Michael said. "I promised I'd tell you to today." He sat down next to me on the bed.

"The necklaces are in the suitcase, right?"

"Ya sure," I said, not knowing where he was going with it. I got up and got the necklaces out, putting the creeper one around my neck and the diamond one around Michael's. He had always been so obsessed with them, it was cute.

Without a word Michael grabbed my necklace and brought it closer to his, so that out necks and faces were being pulled closer together. When he made them touch a magnetic click went off. I never knew they did that. While still connected, he dug his fingernails into my necklace and pulled at it. At first I thought he was breaking it, but then I realized he was opening it. Inside, he took out what looked like a dark greenish piece of plastic. It was... a computer chip. 

I gawked at it for a couple second. "How... how long has that been in there?" I asked.

"Ever since I gave it to you," he said with a smile, eating up my reaction. 

"Well what.. what is it? What's on it?"

"Ahaha that's what I'm not sure about!"

"What do you mean by 'you're not sure'?"

"Well what was it, a couple years ago I think?" It had been years since Michael had given me the creeper necklace.

"Ya," He said, continuing his story. "A couple years ago I decided to take a little walk after work and I was just sitting on this bench by the street, right? And then this homeless person comes up to me and starts talking crazy. At first I was just trying to ignore him but out of nowhere he just hands me this chip-"

"That's crazy Michael!" I said, interrupting him. He kept going.

"Ya! He like, puts it in my palm and says something like 'You're the chosen one. Guard this with you're life.' It was really freaky but of course I still just thought he was insane."

I took a second the imagine a crazy homeless man giving Michael a computer chip and almost started laughing at the idea.

"So I decided to take the chip home just to see what was on it when these guys started chasing me home in their cars! They literally dragged me out of my car and threatened to kill me if I didn't give them the chip! I swear Gavin, I thought they were going to kill me! I even still have a scar from where they tried to knife me."
