TW: Death

Michaels POV

I really wish he knew how much I love him. How much I care about him, but he never will.

"Hey Michael," Jeremy came up to me. I was standing at my locker, getting ready for my next class. I looked at him and realized he was holding his phone. "Do you wanna see what Christine texted me?"

"Sure," I said with a smile as my heart pinched a little.

"She said, 'Looks like I found the love of my life, huh?'" He said and pointed at the text.

"Looks like she's a keeper," I said. My heart ached and it didn't help that he had the cutest smile on his face.

"I know right!" He said and developed a even bigger smile on his face. "Okay I should get ready for class."

"Okay. See ya later player two," I said as he walked away. He turned around and waved back at me. I watched him walk down the hall and when he got to the end of the hall, he ran into Christine. He put his arm around her, kissed her real quick, and made a left turn. When I watched this, I felt my heart hurt more. This has been going on for about 3 months now and I hate it. I hate it so much. God, why does he have to date her?

A few hours later

I'm listening to my Bob Marley in health and then hear the bell go off. It's the final bell, the end of the day. Finally. I started to pack my things and while I was doing it, my phone went off. I looked at it. It was Jeremy texting me.

Jeremy: Dude, I'm going on a date with Christine tonight. We're gonna watch a horror movie at the movies... Wish me luck.

Michael: Hahaha will do. Have fun!

Jeremy: Thx

I started to walk and my heart hurt so bad that I fell to the floor. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me. I couldn't stand up. I couldn't talk. It felt like I had trouble breathing when it wasn't. My teacher walked over to me.

"Are you-" the teacher started to say to me. I couldn't hear the rest because I ended up blacking out.

I woke up a to find I was in a hospital bed. There was a doctor next to me. I asked him what happened.

"Have you heard of the expression, a broken heart, Michael?" the doctor asked me.

"Of course I have."

"Well it's not an expression. It's actually real. If a person loves one person enough, but the other doesn't love them back, their heart starts to break. After a while, their heart breaks enough that it finally shatters and you die. The more you love the person, the quicker your heart shatters. I'm afraid that's what you have," the doctor told me comely.

"Is there anything I can do," I asked. I tried to ask it as comely as I can. Although it didn't work because I didn't want to die, but there is nothing I can do. Jeremy loves Christine. Forever and always.

"Well there is one thing you can do. You have to tell the person that you love them. If they accept it, your heart will mend. If they don't, your heat will completely shatter. Or you can just witness them not loving you and die slowly," he said looking me straight in the eye. "I'm sorry Michael. I'm sorry that it's not able to be cured."

"It's okay. Thank you doctor," I said to him, smiling through the pain and sorrow.

"You're welcome. You may go home now," he said to me.

"Bye doc," I said walking out the door.

"Bye Michael. Good luck."

I then called my mom and asked her to drive me home. I had to leave my car at the school so I couldn't drive. When I called her she said that momma (I have two mothers) picked up the car and my stuff while I was in the hospital on her lunch break. Both were at work all day so they couldn't come here. Neither of their jobs would let them take the rest of the day off. My mom and momma just started driving home when I called them.

I waited about a half hour for them to arrive. When they arrived they asked me what happened and I told them everything.

Mom started crying and momma was holding back tears.

"What are you gonna do?" Momma asked me.

"Whatever you choose, we fully support you," mom said through tears.

"I think I want to tell him how I feel. It's my only hope," I told them. "Can I invite him over tomorrow?"

"Of course. Me and mom will go on a date so we don't bother you. It's Saturday after all and we haven't gotten out in what feels like forever," momma said as we pulled up to my house.

"Okay thank you," I said with a smile. Maybe there's some hope that I'll survive. Maybe he does secretly love me.

"Okay now of to bed with you." Mom said. "You have an important day ahead of you."

"Good night mom. Good night mama." I said and hugged them both so tight.

"Night baby," they said in unison as I walked up the stairs to my room. Hopefully I can sleep tonight.

The next afternoon

I picked up my phone and started to text Jeremy.

Michael: Hey player 2! Wanna come over and play some AotD or watch a documentary on video games for the 100th time?

Jeremy: How about the movie and can I invite Christine over too?

I felt his heart pinch. Do I say yes or no? What if he decides to not come if I say no to her?

Michael: I don't see why not

Jeremy: Thx player 1! You're the best! I'll be there in about a half hour.

Michael: See you then!

I put the movie in the DVD player so we can play it right when they get there. I also made some popcorn and grabbed some Mountain Dew Red out of the fridge. I then put them both out on the table and as soon as I'm done with it, the door bell rang.

I walked to the door and opened it. "Hey Jeremy! Hey Christine!" I said to both of them.

"Hey Michael!" They both said in unison and then walked into my house.

"I have everything set up. I'm gonna use the bathroom and then we can start the movie," I said and they sat on the couch while I walked to the bathroom. When I was in there, I splashed water in my face.

"You can do this Michael. You can do this. All you have to do is tell him you love him. It's not that hard. Who cares how Christine would react. If he really loves me, he'd accept it. No matter if she's with him or not," I whispered to myself. I then opened up the door and walked back to the living room.

Third Person POV

"Jeremy I love-" Michael started to say as he walked to the back of the couch and realized that Christine and Jeremy were making out.

Michael felt the biggest ache in his heart. It hurt more than any other one he had. He held his chest and bent over. He was also screaming from all the pain. Jeremy and Christine looked over at Michael rushed over to him. Jeremy touched Michael's back and Michael fell to the floor, not moving. Christine then went to check Michael's pulse and started to cry. She looked up at Jeremy.

"I'm so sorry," Christine said to Jeremy and he started to sob too. His best friend in the entire world is dead. He then realized what Michael said before he died and started to cry even more.

"He started to say 'I love you.'" He said under his breath. His best friend loved him and Jeremy secretly loved him back. And now it's too late. He'll never be able to tell him.

I'm sorry the first one had to be so heart breaking. I'm a sucker for angst...
