More Than Survive

The Dream that Ruins All

 Michael had his face buried in Jeremy's chest sobbing his eyes out. He was terrified. He couldn't let Jeremy find out about his crush on him. He didn't want Jeremy to die. He didn't want to be abused anymore.

Without thinking Jeremy planted a soft kiss on top of Michael's head. Michael slowly stopped choking on his tears and was blushing. 

"What was that Jeremy? Did you just kiss my head?" Michael said teasingly.

Jeremy realized he did and started blushing madly, "w-what, no." He said trying not to sound flustered,

Michael lifted his head to look at Jeremy, "You're bad at lying. But to me it felt like you did." Despite being in a hospital bed and probably very sore, Michael was being very flirty, which is no surprise there. Michael buried his face in Jeremy's neck, smirking slightly.

"M-Michael, wh-what are you doing," Jeremy was really flustered at this point, he wasn't used to Michael acting this was around him. 

Michael lightly licked up Jeremy's neck. He smirked when he felt the boy shiver underneath him. "Hm, you like that Jer?" He said as he licked down the boys neck.

Jeremy couldn't say anything, he was too flustered and he was biting his bottom  lip. Michael looked at Jeremy, and saw Jeremy biting his lip. "Stop biting your lip Jer," As Michael said that he tilted Jeremy's head down and leaned forward to kiss him.

Michael woke up and saw that he was alone in the hospital room. He sighed and groaned, saddened that it was only a dream. He felt weird in his lower region and realized he had a boner. He got up and went to the bathroom to take care of himself.

When he was done he went back to lay on the uncomfy hospital bed when he saw a letter on the table, he picked it up and it read;

Dear Michael, 

     You fell asleep, I stayed for an hour or two before I had to go home. I would've taken you out of this hell hole but they said your mom, dad, or legal guardian had to sign you out. I'll try to get my mom to sign you out tomorrow, I promise. I'll try to get out of school early tomorrow so I can come see you but I doubt it'll happen. But I will get you out of here tomorrow I promise you that. By the way, your phone and spare glasses are underneath your hoodie, sleep tight Mikie.

                                                                      -xoxo, Jer

Michael placed the note back on the table. He laid down and snuggled underneath the thin blankets. He just thought about random things until he fell asleep.

The next morning Jeremy woke up to the sound of his mom and dad fighting. This is usual for him, but this time he woke up at 4 and not around 5:30. He had two hours before he had to go to school. Since he had time to spare he got up and got ready for school. He grabbed his bag and the 600 dollars off his desk and headed downstairs.

His parents were in the living room, and obviously, too busy screaming to notice that he grabbed the car keys and headed outside. Jeremy got into his dads car and started it up and headed to the hospital. There weren't many cars on the road so he got there pretty quickly.

He signed himself in as Michael's boyfriend again and went to the boys room. When he walked in he saw Michael wide awake and most likely playing a game on his phone. He turned on the light only to see Michael watching porn.

Michael was so scared that he dropped his phone trying to turn it off. He looked at Jeremy and had a pissed look on his face. "I hate you so much Jeremy," he said as he picked up his phone and turned it off.

Jeremy was laughing, he closed the door and sat next Michael. "Should you really be watching that in a hospital?" He raised an eyebrow, "I mean, what if it was a doctor who came in and not me?" He sat his bag on the ground.

Michael shrugged, "At least a doctor would have the decency to knock," He set his phone down and laid his head on Jeremy's shoulder. "Why are you even up this early? Don't you have school in less than 2 hours?"

Jeremy sighed, "My parents were fighting again and they woke me up at this time and not 5:30 so I decided  to come see you." Michael nodded. He thought back to the dream he had, he sighed and turned away, ashamed to have dreamt that dream.

"What's wrong Mikie?" Jeremy looked at his best friend, knowing something was wrong.

"Uh, nothing, nothing at all," Michael couldn't look at Jeremy.

Jeremy turned Michael's head to look at him, "I gotta tell you something that Rich told me...but you con't tell anyone because I'm not even supposed to tell you."

Michael nodded.

"Well, Rich has something called a Squip, and he said he'll give me one if I brought 600 dollars today."

"600 DOLLARS!" Michael's eyes widened. "He's scamming you Jeremy."

"You think so? This thing will help me be cool Michael, be more chill."

Michael's eyes went dull with sadness "When you become cool...will you be too cool to hang out with me...too cool for video games?"

Jeremy's face was filled with horror, "No! Never Michael! You're my best friend. Favorite person. The player  1 to my player 2."

Michael smiled at Jeremy's words which only made him feel worse about himself for the dream. Jeremy would never like Michael the same way.

Two hours passed as the friends talked about video games, the squip, Jake, Christine, and girls, even though Michael is gay. Since he's gay, he'll usually say things like "If I were straight I'd bang *inserts girl name*."

Jeremy is bisexual and Michael knows because he's had a few male crushes, but Jeremy didn't know that Michael knew.

Jeremy stood up, "Well, I have to get going. I'll see you later alright?" Michael nodded as Jeremy grabbed his bag and left. Michael was alone so he decided to snuggle under the thin hospital blankets and fell asleep.
