(I was bored so I drew this)

Michael would think back to what Elizabeth had said to him when he was at the hospital. He'd cough as he did and would crumble the flowers with his hands.
People are asleep until they fall in love, and when they fall in love, they wake up.

Michael was awake, and he was dying for Jeremy to wake up too.
To wake up and love him back.

It has been a while since what happened at Jeremy's home. Brooke and Chloe came out as a couple,of course it wasn't much of a surprise since everyone could clearly see they where close in that way.
Michael only had one week, he wanted this week to be the best thing in his life.

Jeremy, he had been better, his squip never seemed to bother again. He would go back to his usual self and hang out with Michael.

Michael stared at Jeremy as he played a game with Rich, they where all at Spring Break and everyone had decided to go to the Arcade.
Jeremy was playing a game with Rich, and the two had began to become really competitive.

Michael smiled to himself as he watched Jeremy laugh and smile.
The four girls at the tar noticed this and giggled. Michael looked at them flustered.
"What?"

"You are so lovestruck" Jenna said.

Michael huffed and looked away. Christine sat next to him. Christine had been a lot of help currently, much to Michael's surprise.
She would help him in ways to get him and Jeremy together. As much as he appreciated, he preferred for them not to.

He felt as if he was forcing Jeremy go love him.

"Michael?"
Michael was shaken away from his thoughts by Jeremy who looked at him smiling a bit
"You keep staring, ya know?"
Michael blushed "Hey,I can't help it..anyways what happened with the game?"

"I totally whooped his butt! I won!" Rich butted in, Jake chuckled and hugged the smaller boy.

Michael smiled.
Jeremy looked around and saw everyone hang out and talk, he looked at Michael, and tapped his shoulder
"Wanna bail?"

Michael looked at Jeremy shocked
"You mean, ditch them?"
Jeremy chuckled and nodded.
Michael smiled and agreed, he stood up with Jeremy and the two sneaked away.

They got in Michael's car and began to drive.
"So where to?"
"My house? We can play some games"
"Or we can go get stoned, in my basement" Michael added, laughing. Jeremy rolled his eyes.

They both arrived at Michael's house, the two got out and entered the house.
"Where is your Mom?" Jeremy asked as he looked around at the empty house. This past week Ms.Mell had stayed home a lot more often.
"She went to go visit my cousins and such. Anyways, she left food over want anything?" Michael asked from the kitchen.

"No thanks!" Jeremy said, Michael came out of the kitchen with a bag of chips.
"Anyways wanna play some games? My mom bought me the new Apocalypse of The Damned."
"Oh hell yeah!" Jeremy smiled and the two made their way to Michael's basement.

It shocked Jeremy when he walked in to smell no weed or anything.
Michael's basement would usually smell like that. Michael had tried to stop smoking, it was because hus air ways where becoming more cramped, and smoking wasn't going to help one bit.

Jeremy sat down on a bean bag next to Michael. The television was already on and connected to the game, Michael handed Jeremy the control and the two began to play.
Jeremy would glance at Michael, and smile as he smiled.

His heart began to flutter.

"Jeremy? Need a little help over here!"
"R-Right!" Jeremy snapped his attention back to the game.

---------------------

"I'm saying; Jeremy is staring to like Michael! I can feel it!" Jenna wailed at her friends. Chloe just remained quite and sipped at her tea. The four girls talked about Michael and Jeremy while Jake and Rich playrd games together.

"Its still a little rude that they just sneaked away like that" Brooke said as she blankly stared at her drink.
"Brooke? Are you sick, your eyes are Red.." Chloe asked concerned.
Christine felt her forehead from across the table,but stopped when she smelled something fishy.
"Brooke are you..?"

"Are you high?!"

Brooke giggled and leaned onto Chloe, the smell soon rushed to her and she mentally screamed.
"Michael is a bad influence on you!"

-------------------------

Jeremy laughed and put the control down. The Two boys had just finished four levels of the game.
"Anyways Michael, Um...Chloe is having a party this Friday before school starts again. Ya' coming?"

Michael chuckled "Are you asking me out?" He cooed. Jeremy blushed and shook his head
"Michael!"
"Okay okay. I'll go" he smiled
Jeremy smiled back
"Great! I promise there won't be alot of people"
"Yeah okay"

The two sat in silence unsure of what to say or do. Jeremy glanced at Michael who just stared down at his control. Michael could feel Jeremy stare at him and began to blush
'He's staring at me. Oh gosh, what does he want?'

"Um..."
"So.."

Jeremy was about to stand up, when his hand moved aside, making fall towards Michael, just at that moment Michael was turning his head to look at Jeremy.
The last thing they both expected happened.

Their lips crashed.

The two boys blushed brightly and jumped back.
"OhmygodIamsosorryJeremy!" Michale quickly said his face crimson. Jeremy just stared at Michael, in the same blushing mess.

"I kinda liked it.." Jeremy quietly said
"W-What?"
"Wha- I-I said your lip is b-busted!"
"O-Oh" Michael touched his lips to feel liquid, blood. But he longed for the feeling of Jeremy's lips on his again. This only made him blush more.

"U-Uhm. Well I should g-go home now"
"O-Oh alright.."
Jeremy leaped out of the garage and towards the front door of the house, and left. He then froze and remembered he didn't have a ride home, sighing he took out his phone and called someone.

"Hey Rich. You think you could drive me home.I kinda left Michael's house in a rush-"
"Can't he drive you?" Rich asked as shuffling was heard on the other side
"-ask him to drive me? U-Uh... "
"Did something happen?"
"Y-Yeah..J-Just, Please come pick me up!"
You could hear Rich laughing on the other side of the phone, he then agreed.
"Thanks" Jeremy hunged up and waited for Rich to come.

He wanted to go back to Michael.
