Michael POV

Shortly after the squip incident, Jeremy finally got the girl of his dreams and I was left with, no one. I was basically forgotten by my best friend, the guy I've known for 12 years and the crush I've had for 4 years. You think a crush on your best friend would simply go away but my love for him would always grow stronger, his ocean blue eyes, his contagious smile, his cute giggle, goddamnit I'm thinking about him again I need to stop that or everything will get worse.

I feel a build up in my throat, it's probably more petals. I grab my water bottle and try to swallow them down so I can just throw them up when I'm at home. I sat alone at my desk, usually Jeremy sat next to me but he's with Christine, all I can do is stare at them but it makes the build up in my throat, it starts to burn and I keep holding back coughs. I raise my hand to get my teachers attention and I quickly ask to go to the bathroom. As I stand up the burning gets worse because I know he's staring at me with those goddamn beautiful eyes.

At first I was only walking but then I sense something following me, I speed up holding back flowers and praying it wasn't Jeremy. I'm almost to the bathroom but I just lose it, I start coughing and slowing down. I see small drops of blood and some blue petals coming out of my mouth. I hear footsteps behind me speed up.

"Michael!"

Oh fuck it is Jeremy, I wipe my mouth with my sleeve and turn around swiftly.

"Heeeey Heere, how ya doing? Long time no see"

He stays quiet and only looks at me with a face of concern. Why does he look so worried? There's nothing to worry about, I'm just slowly dying but that's fiiiiiiine. (same)

"Is there a problem, Jeremy?"

"Y-you we're coughing up blood and something else."

He's mumbling but I can clearly hear him. He starts to look behind me and once he sees the mess he gasps.

"Michael... You have it?"

"Whaaaaa? Come on Heere, you know I'd tell you if I had Hanahaki disease."

I'm lying to him, it's for the best; I can't bother him with my problem. My lie obviously had no effect on him, the evidence is right behind me why would he believe that I didn't have it.

"Micha, how long have you had this?"

"Only a few weeks."

"How many weeks, Michael?"

"2 or 3 weeks."

"Is there more?"

Of course there's more, I lifted up my sleeve a little to reveal a small blue flower on my wrist. His eyes only teared up when he saw the flower. I felt more flowers in my throat, just push them down and keep talking.

"Who's the person?"

I stiffened at that question. I can't tell him that he's my big-time crush when he has a girlfriend! He'd hate me. I'll just stay quiet. More flowers crowded my throat, I can taste blood and the flower on wrist burns a little.

"Michael, who is that person?"

"Oh yknow just a person..."

"Michael just tell me! I can help if you tell me!"

I couldn't hold back anymore. I start violently coughing up flower petals and blood again. Jeremy stares with fear in his eyes he ran back in the direction of the classroom, wow thanks alot. A few seconds later he actually came running back in my direction holding my water bottle. My coughing calms down and be hands me my bottle and I take a few sips.

"I'm going to ask one more time, who is the person?"

I stay quiet a few seconds.

"You"
