Veronica's POV

The burning sunlight flooded into my room and I shielded my eyes. My cheeks felt stiff from all the dried tears, I flickered my eyes a few times before sitting up in bed. Gazing around the room I soon noticed a sleeping Mike on the couch, I sighed and through my pillow which sure enough hit him in the face. Mike let out a loud scream and I rolled my eyes. "Oh V, you're awake" he mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"Well done" I muttered sarcastically, why wouldn't they all just go away? I don't want to see anyone.

I watched him for a few seconds and his eyes are hazy; thick with tears. "Mike? What's wrong?" I asked, I got up and walked over to the sofa where he was sitting. "I-I-I don't know what to do without him V" he sobbed. I realised he was talking about Vic and my heart dropped, he just didn't seem torn up about his brother's death but I knew he was holding it all in and trying to be strong for his family. I hugged him tight and he pulled me onto his lap as he buried his face into the crook of my neck, I felt his warm tears run down skin and soak my shirt.

"Shh, it'll be okay Mike" I cooed, even though I wasn't sure it would be, not at all. I felt guilt wash over me, Mike had lost his brother, the guy he looked up to and spent near enough every day with. Where as I had lost the person I knew for 6 months, even though I loved Vic to death, it was nothing compared to what Mike had lost.

Before I knew it I was sobbing onto Mike's shoulder. I had always hated seeing him like this, he never cried and I'm pretty sure he'd rather die than cry infront of someone, especially a girl. I could tell he was trying to be strong  but I knew he was slowly sinking. 

Mike raised his thumb to my cheek and wiped away my tears and I did the same for him. I watched his eyes peer deep inside of mine and I wasn't entirely sure what he was looking for but it did make me uncomfortable. It felt like he was looking into my soul and finding every single one of my secrets leaving me exposed, you could tell he was Vic's brother; he did exactly the same.

Before I knew it soft lips were crashing against mine, I was in complete shock as I figured out Mike's lips were on mine, it tasted like grief, sadness and lust. He pulled away and sniffled, his eyes growing wide as he realised what he has just done. "Oh my god, I-I'm so so s-sorry" he stuttered "I d-didn't mea-" I cut him off and kissed him once again but more hungrily, I knew this was wrong but there was something strangely comforting about it.

I straddled Mike never parting our lips and he picked me up, slowly moving over to the bed.

We were definitely going to regret this in the morning.
