Squip swap au. Michael is the one with the Squip. 
~~~~~~~~~》                     《~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up to the feeling of bile rising in my throat. I lunge out of bed and head to the bathroom. I vomit, and I wipe my mouth and go to the sink, splashing water onto my now pale face.

Morning, Michael

"No. Go back to sleep."I groan. This damn Squip.

Technically I dont sleep. You do.

"Unfortunately. " I huff.
"Michael? " my dads voice calls down the stairs.
"Yes, dad? " I answer
"Who are you talking to?" He asks
"Ah um, i-its just the tv." I lie.
"Alright, son" dad dismisses.

I slide on my glasses and sigh at my reflection.

Stop staring in the mirror. You'll break the glass.

"Why wont you leave me alone?" I whimper.

You're the one who took the pill.

I sigh and walk into my room, pulling on my hoodie. I run my fingers through my hair and put my headphones around my neck.
I grab my backpack and start my walk to school. Bob Marley blasts through my head phones.
"~Don't worry About a thing. Cause every little thing is gonna be alright.~"
I sigh and listen to the music, smiling softly. For just a second I can believe it's true. That is, until the voice starts back up.

Chill kids don't listen to stoner music.

"Marley was literally chill personified, thank you very much." I snap.

Young man, don't take that tone with me.

"Ha! What will you do about it?! Shock me?! Go on! Do it! I don't care anymore!" I don't realize I'm yelling out loud until jeremy walks up to me.
"Michael?" Jeremy looks up at me. "Who are you yelling at?" I sigh and shake my head.
Tell him to go away. You don't need him.
I look down at my best friend, his blue eyes filled with concern for me. Someone that actually cares.
Michael. You don't need him. He's standing in the way of your popularity. And no, you cant bring him to the top with you.
I sigh.
"Don't worry about it jeremy. " I speed up my pace to leave jeremy behind and I Head to school, refusing to look back at him.

Good job, mell. Very good job.

"No, not good job. I'm hurting him. " I whimper.

Jeremy tries to talk to me again at lunch. I just sigh and get up with my tray, but he grabs my sleeve.
"Michael, did I do something to make you mad?" Jeremy looks as if he's about to cry.
"Because if I did im sorry... just please tell me what I can do to make it up to you."

"No, Jer.  You didn't do anything. I promise." I sigh,  I hate hurting Jeremy.  It doesn't help that im hopelessly in love with him. 
"But why do you keep pushing me away..." jeremy asks.
"Because you're a loser." I hear the bitter words leave my lips. But those weren't MY words...
"W-what? " Jeremy looks down and I hear him sniffle. "I thought I could count on you to never say stuff like that to me... I thought of all the characters at school, you were the one that I could trust..." he tightly grips his backpack strap and walks down the hall, tears falling down his pale face.

"Why did you do that?!" I yell at the Squip.

You weren't  doing as instructed. I took matters into my own hands.

"But you cant do that to jeremy! He's all I have!" I feel angry tears rolling down my face. "Thats it! I cant do this, I cant hurt jeremy anymore!" I stomp out of the cafeteria and I find rich at his locker.

He looks worse than I feel. His eyes have dark bags under them, and his green eyes seem frantic, almost paranoid. He sees me approaching and lets out a breath.
"Yours fucking with you too?" He asks, before jolting slightly.
"How do we deactivate them?" I ask.
"We cant. They got rid of their only weakness, mountain dew red... they had it discontinued." Rich clutches his head tightly.
"...i have some at home... That's why the squip kept me from drinking it. Rich, come with me." I grab his arm and race down the hall, quickly finding Jake.
"Jake, we need your help." I state.
"Okay, whatever." He shrugs and looks at rich. "Dude, are you okay?" Rich just flinches.
"I will be." Rich looks up at jake.
"Have either of you seen Jeremy?" I ask.
"Yeah." Jake nods. "I saw him run into the guys bathroom."
"Wait here." I run down the hallway towards the bathrooms.

Think about what you are doing, Michael. Youre never going to be cool if you do this. You'll always be a loner. A loser. A masterbaitor.

"I don't care." I growl.

Im going to have to stop you.

I scream in agony just as I reach the bathroom and fall on my knees from the pain of the shock coursing through my body.
"Jeremy?!" I yell out, desperate for him to hear me. By now teachers and students are gathering around trying to figure out whats wrong.  Jeremy walks out of the bathroom and tries to help me up. I stand on shaky legs and hug him tightly.  "J-Jer. I need you to come worth me jake a-and rich. "
"Okay. But you have to tell me whats going on." He looks at me.
"...I took the Squip" I admit.
"Michael, you promised me you wouldn't. " He sighs. He walks me down the hall and we meet back up with Jake and rich.
"So what exactly is going on?" Jake asks.
"Michael and I took this pill called a Squip.  It's hurting us, and we need to get to Michael's house, now."  Rich explains.

We all start walking to my house and I can't help the fear coursing through me, for my Squip isn't shutting up.

Michael.  I will return and you know it. You cant get rid of me. And trying to will only make me angrier.

"You aren't controlling my life anymore." I growl. We get to my house and go down to my basement. When I approach the mini fridge,  a horrible shock goes through me and I whimper in agony. "J-jer, get the mountain dew red out of there. Jake, I want you guys to help rich first, jake hold him down and Jeremy,  pour it in his mouth." I instruct.
They nod and do as I say, rich fights them off, and lets out a groan of pain. "Dammit, Jeremy! Please hurry!" He growls. I can see the conflict in his eyes as he battles the squip for control.
Finally, Jeremy forces rich to swallow some of the mountain dew red, and rich starts screaming in agony as he battles Jake's grip.  Once rich calms down, Jake gently sits him in my beanbag chair. Rich curls up as he pants in exhaustion.
Jeremy turns his attention to me. Jake walks over and holds me still as he had rich just seconds ago. I feel my legs start kicking and my body thrash around. The Squip isn't going down without a fight.
Jeremy grabs my face in his hand and presses the bottle to my lips.  I unwillingly swallow and feel a head splitting pain. I yell out and whimper as I tremble in Jake's grip.

Mich... Michael! .... you....regr. .. Mi....

He gently sets me down on the other bean bag chair and I feel someone lay next to me. I'm too exhausted to turn around, but I know it's Jeremy. I put my back against his chest and he wraps his arm my waist.
"Jer...i-im so sorry fo-" jeremy interrupts me
"Don't apologize, Michael.  I know you weren't in control." He nuzzles up to me. I glance at rich and see jake is holding him to his chest. Poor rich. Such a small guy dealing with such huge problems. That squip really fucked him up.
"Jeremy... I originally got the squip because I wanted to be brave enough to ask you out. But I got too cocky... so now I realize I didn't need the Squip to ask, will you be my boyfriend? " I ask.
"Of course. " Jeremy accepts, hugging me tightly.
