TW: self harm, swearing(minor)

Jeremy couldn't help but look back at the bathroom door as he made his way downstairs.

'You need to go back and apologize' He kept telling himself but no matter how much he wanted to he couldn't. He didn't want to see Michael crying, he couldn't bare the sight of his only real friend sobbing in a bathroom.

And it was all because of him. Of course that's what he td himself, technically it was the abuse from the Squip that led to his snapping but Jeremy couldn't blame everything on something that was deactivated.

'Ya know what, forget it. I'm going back and apologizing right now.' Jeremy turned around and as if on cue the Squip reactivated. He ignored it.

It kept telling him to leave but he refused to listen. By the time he was standing at the door it was shocking him.

"Deactivate." Jeremy mumbled and it did. Jeremy knocked on the door gently.

"I'm having my period." Jeremy knew it was Michael from both the voice and fact he'd never left the bathroom.

Jeremy knocked again.

"Seriously leave me alone."

Jeremy knocked one more time.

"Look I'm not in the mood to talk so whoever this is can just go to the downstairs bathroom!" Michael seemed irritated, his voice sounded like he'd been crying which he had obviously.

Jeremy sat down with his back against the door.

"Michael...I...I didn't mean it...." Jeremy muttered, tears starting to form in his blue eyes. "I really didn't....I know you probably don't even want to talk to me because I'm an asshole but like...I was super stressed...I shouldn't have taken all my anger out on you...not when you were trying to help me."

Michael didn't reply, he just sat with his back to the door, listening to Jeremy through quiet sobs as he looked at his now cut and bloody arm.

"I've just...I've went through a lotta shit in the last week...I knew I probably should've told you but I didn't...I couldn't...but then I made a really stupid choice to ignore you and now...now we're both crying and leaning against a door...and I'm so sorry..." Jeremy was sobbing too, luckily his hood was up and his costume goggles were on so nobody would see his tears.

"Jeremy....I shouldn't have let you get the Squip...I knew...to an extent.. what it was...and I'm sorry for not telling you sooner..." Michael spoke up through his sobs, standing up and unlocking the door, opening it gently to see Jeremy.

Jeremy looked up at him in tears, removing the goggles. The two stared at each other in a silence that seemed to last forever before Jeremy stood up and out of the blue hugged Michael, who quickly sank into the hug.

"I...I never should have left you...I should've listened to you...I really should have..." Jeremy's head found its way on to Michael's shoulder and nuzzled itself into it comfortably.

They stood in the doorway hugging for what seemed like ages, but they refused to move. That was until somebody tapped Jeremy's shoulder.

"Jeremy are you crying?" It was Christine. Michael let go of Jeremy and was ready to go back into the bathroom but Jeremy grabbed his hand, taking him by surprise.

"Y-Yeah. Well I was...I'm okay now." Jeremy replied quietly and Christine just looked down at her feet and didn't say a thing like Jeremy thought she would.
