Short!!! Murder!!! Yay!!!

Michael gritted his teeth as he watched Jeremy flirt with the blond girl in front of him. He watched in agony as Jeremy kissed the girl, not even noticing Michaels discomfort.

I've been through more than her. Michael thought. I know him better than her. She doesn't deserve him.

He knew this. He knew it all too well.

Jeremy just... needed a little push.

So when Brooke was found mysteriously by the river with her head bashed in, Michael was there to comfort him.

But so was Christine.

And while Michael knew Christine had good intentions, he knew Jeremy better. He knew that if she stayed long enough, Jeremy would end up loving her, and Michael couldn't have that.

So when Christine was found with a wine around her neck and a suicide note, Michael comforted Jeremy. And it took a while, weeks even, but soon enough, Jeremy loved him back.

Michael can pin point when it all went wrong.

Jeremy finding the journal Michael had made was the start.

Perhaps if Michael had played it off as a joke and not snapped, they wouldn't be in the basement together.

And Jeremy wouldn't be tied to a chair with a gun pointed directly to his skull.

"I didn't want to do this." Michael finally said, breaking the silence. "I love you more than you could ever know. But don't worry! I'll be there soon after you. Wait for me by the gates, okay?"

Michael wiped the tear that had fallen down his cheek. "I love you, baby."

The first shot to Jeremy's head hurt Michael more than the shot he gave himself.
