An hour later Michael wakes up. He sees that Jess is not in his arms nor in bed
Michael: Jess?
He gets up and walks around the house. His chest starts hurting. He quickly grabs it and crashes into the wall while yelling. His eyes turn pitch black
Gabriel: When you attack your own kind, it grows. The longer you stay down here, it grows. The closer you get to that human, it grows
Lucifer: It's what the darkness inside you wants and when it gets stronger and stronger, it'll take over your body
Jess: Michael...
He's just staring at her
Jess: Michael please... It's me Jess...
The pain stops and he snaps out of it. His eyes change back. He realizes he's choking her and let's go. She falls to her knees and start coughing. He looks at her in shock
Michael: Holy shit... Jess I'm sorry
She looks at him in tears while standing up and rubbing her neck
Jess: What is happening to you?
He just stares at her
Jess: Tell me right now Michael
Michael: Okay... okay
He takes a deep breath
Michael: I'm dying
She looks at him in shock
Jess: What?
Michael: I'm turning into a dark angel and when I become it, I'll go down there
He points down
Michael: Forever
She couldn't help but slap him. He turns his head but doesn't react. Her eyes tear up
Jess: You told me you weren't dying! That I shouldn't be worried!
He looks at her
Michael: I thought I could control it
Jess: I can't believe you kept this from me
Michael: I know and I'm sorry
Jess: Is there any way to stop it?
He looks away
Jess: Michael!
Michael: Yes there is!
The lights flicker but she ignores it
Jess: Then tell me!
He shakes his head so she gets in front of him. He looks at her
Jess: Tell me
Michael: No
Jess: Why the fuck not?!
He just stares at her
Jess: Tell me, damn you!
He stays quiet
Jess: You've been saving me your whole life. Let me do the same for you
Michael: If I let you do that then you'll die and we'll never see each other again
Jess: Then I'll die knowing you're safe
Michael: Dammit Jess! This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you because I knew you would say this
Jess: What I saw wasn't you. You looked me right in the eye and didn't recognize me until you snapped out of it. Is that going to keep happening?
Michael: I don't know
