You are mine ~ Bennoda ✔️

••• 12. Leave out all the rest •••

I entered the house, still confused as fuck. And a little hurt... physically... and Maybe a little mentally.

I heard people talking in the kitchen. I walked into the room, there was a beat up kid, Jaime and Mike.

"What happened here? Who's this?" I asked.

"This.. this is Mason. He got beat up.." Jaime mumbled. I raised an eyebrow "by who?" "H- people at school... and... his father."

I clenched my teeth. This kid's dad.

"Can he stay here tonight, dad?" Jaime asked. Both Mike and I nodded "of course, he can stay as long as he wants." Mike said and Chester agreed.

Mason smiled at them "t-thank you so much.." "no problem, Mason." Chester sympathetically smiled.

Jaime found himself looking trough photo albums again, he also found the one of Chester and Mike in high school that wasn't stolen.

Jaime started laughing "oh my god what were you guys doing.". Mike laughed as soon as he saw the picture "Well, Chester wanted to take a picture and I just... squished his face."

Chester came into the room with drinks and some food.

"Woah.. dad you had a labret?". I nodded "Yeah... I loved the thing.". Jaime stared at me for a second.. usually when he did this he wanted to ask something ridiculous. "Can I get a piercing? Or a tattoo?" Well, that's not that bad, I got my ear gauges and Lip piercing when I was 16 I think. "Ask Mike." I said "I'm okay with it tho."

Mike wasn't that big of a fan of tattoos and piercings. Probably the reason why he doesn't have any. He liked mine tho... I think he does..

"Dad.. can I get a tattoo or piercing?" Jaime asked Mike. I gave Jaime a small smile and nod, letting him know that I had his back.

Mike looked like he was thinking "I-.. no." "Why not? Dad agrees." Jaime said signing his hand at me. Mike huffed "have you seen all his tattoos and piercings? Of course he'd agree." "Please dad. Look how cool he looks with all of them." Jaime pointed at me. Mike awkwardly said "yes." Like... he didn't mean it.

I cut into the conversation "Tell you what. I'll get you one of the two for your birthday.". Mike looked at me "Chester I said no." "And I'm saying yes.". "Well, it's not happening. What if he gets something he'll regret?" "Jaime's a smart kid, besides, I didn't get anything regretful. I could help him." I said. Mike rolled his eyes "Chester..... ugh. Fine. Don't do anything you'll regret."

I won! Yay! Jaime hugged me first "thank you, thank you,thank you!" I smiled "No problem Jaime. I actually have a friend that's really good at tattoos and can set piercings pretty amazing, she has her own shop down town. We could go there." Jaime nodded and smiled.

Then he went to Mike. Mason was still in the corner of the couch. He didn't talk a lot.

"Mason, did you ever think about getting a tattoo or something?" I asked. Mason nodded and pushed some of his hair out of his face, revealing that he had two rings in his left eyebrow. "Wow, those look great!" I said. Mason smiled awkwardly "T-thank you."

Mike was working on songs and I was searching for houses. We really had to move. Something's wrong with this place.

"Ches, what are you doing?" Mike asked, looking at my laptop. "Can we please move, Mikey? I don't feel save here." I looked over at Mike. Mike let out a sad sigh "why? Because of the mirror? The intruders? Come on Chaz, remember all the great things here, our first house together, Jaime was raised here, That time that Dave got stuck in the bathroom..." I laughed, it was a sad laugh though. I'm gonna miss this place, but a home's not a home when you don't feel save.. then it's just a house.

"Mike, please?" I looked down. I know Mike didn't want to but.. I... I don't feel good about this house. Mike sighed again "Chester, I love you, I really do and I'd do anything to keep you save. You know that right?" I nodded my head a little. "So then it won't be necessary." Mike said "You'll be save. I swear." I was trying not to break down, I wanted to believe Mike desperately, But I just couldn't. Why am I so fucking paranoid all the time?! I can't even trust my own husband! Fuck! What the fuck is wrong with me?!

"Woah Chester.." Mike whispered as he pulled me closer, I must've said that out loud, and I was crying. Great. Just great. "Nothing's wrong with you, baby. You're just scared. But please, believe me when I say, I'd do anything to keep you save." Mike rubbed a hand over my back.

"It's going to be okay. I love you, Chaz."

"I love you too, Mike."

We went to bed, but I had a weird dream..

I saw Mike looking for me, no one would help him. They didn't care they said. He reported a missing file, but no one even bothered to read it. Mike was on his own, looking for me.... Apparently I was missing. He seemed so scared.

I woke up and picked up my phone. The bright light flashed into my face, I could see the time now, 3:26 am.

Little too early there Chester. I sighed, I couldn't sleep anymore. And I couldn't help but wonder, what if I died? What would Mike do? You never know when someone's time runs out. Some people go too early. It's sad. But also haunting how people can feel so sad... or rather empty.

I looked at Mike, he was sleeping peacefully. My dream did upset me... a lot actually. What if I'd die tomorrow? Leaving everyone behind. I wonder how Mike would end up, I want him to find someone else who will love him as much as I do. Someone who'd care about the kids as much as I do. Someone who's perfect. I know I'm far from perfect, Mike deserves someone who is.

Suddenly other thoughts popped up, They were like... lyrics?

I sat down at the desk in our room, grabbed my note book for lyrics and started figuring out Lyrics.

"I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared. But no one would listen, cause no one else cared. After my dreaming, I woke with this fear, what am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me I want you to know. When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done, help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. And don't resent me and when you're feeling empty, keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest.

Leave out all the rest..."

I was getting a little tired again, I went back to bed but forgot to close and put away the note book. There were some things in there that weren't just Lyrics...
