Chester's PoV , 2 days after Christmas.

"Mike!" I called as I heard glass scattering, someone threw something through the window. A rock with a note. Mike ran to the room "Ches? What's wrong?" Then he noticed the scattered glass and the rock.

Mike picked it up and his face turned paler, he read it out loud "I was taught that relationships are about trusting each other. Having no secrets from each other. But it seems like both of you have secrets that you've denied or just haven't mentioned.. how about we play a game. I will reveal a secret of both of you everyday and we'll see how long you'll last."

I have some terrible secrets that Mike will hate me for. I just never told him because I knew that he'd hate me.

The doorbell rang and Mike went downstairs, a few minutes later he came back, even paler then before, he was speechless. He had two envelopes in his hand, one had 'Chester' written on it, the other 'Mike'

Mike handed me the one with my name on it "Mike Maybe we shouldn't-" I started but Mike said "come on Chaz. It's just a secret right? Nothing can break us."

I nodded hesitantly but I opened the envelope to get the note inside.

'Mike once was Luke's boyfriend' It said.

My bully? That Luke? What the fuck? Why didn't he tell me?

Mike's PoV

I opened the envelope and it said 'Chester used drugs back in Amsterdam'

My blood was boiling, I don't know If I was mad at Chester for doing drugs, or at the person that decided to do this to us.

"What did you take?" I said, holding back anger and tears. Chester asked at the same time also holding back tears and anger "For how long?"

"What?" We both said at the same time. "You go first.." Chester sighed.

I turned around the note "what did you take?"

Chester sighed "just weed. And it was after you ripped my heart in half."

"So? It's still drugs."

"As if you'd care back then!"

"I did! You know Cora wasn't my fault!"

Chester scoffed and turned around his note "how long?"

"2 months.." I said, I was mad at Chester and when I am, I say things I don't mean.. I mumbled "Best of my life."

"What was that?" Chester said "You know what! If you like the person that fucked up my life better. Then crawl back to him!"

I shouldn't have said that. Now he's even more pissed then he already was. "Ches look I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.."

"Then why'd you say it?!" Chester yelled, tears running down his cheeks. I tried to approach him to hug him but he kept his distance from me. "Ches.." I whispered. "You must've known he hated me didn't you? Everyone in the school knew!"

"Yes, but I didn't know you yet, If I'd known you I'd never let him or even been with him in the first place." I said. Chester shakily sighed "no Mike... Please, please tell me this is just some sick joke?"

"What's the deal Chester? It's in the past..."

"So is the drugs! So is my dad! So is my brother! So is my self harm! So is my dad's friend! So is high school and so Is my suicide attempt!" Chester yelled "but that's still bothering you and Me! You're still afraid to come home one day to find me dead! To find out I killed myself!"

I froze, he was damn right I'm scared of that "Ches.. d-don't say things like that..."

"Why not Mike?! You always tell me to speak what's on my heart, to speak out how I feel." Chester said, his voice calming down again, but still irritated.

We argued for forever. It ended up with Chester and I both crying. Hell.... I even hit him, again! I fucking hit him again, Which I regret so much.

"Why can't we just be a normal healthy couple?" Chester cried out.

"Because we're both not normal!" I cried. Chester yelled through tears "I'm not Normal Mike! You are, or at least were! You destroyed your chance of a normal life once you got with me! You should've let me die th-"

"Chested no.." I sobbed with a croaked voice "when will you see that I can't live without you? I'd never be able to just let you die... I would lose it if you'd die."

Just like that we crashed into each other's arms and cried on each other's shoulders.

Jaime's PoV

I was crying on Malia's shoulder.. they're fighting again. "Ow! What the fuck is wrong with you Mike?! Who the fuck hits their husband?!"

Malia rubbed my back comfortingly "ssh, it's gonna be okay. They'll be okay. They really love each other Jaime. They'll sort it out."

And she was right, eventually I heard them remind each other of how much they loved each other and that they can't live without each other.

Chester's PoV

The next morning I woke up next to Mike with a pounding head, probably from all the anger and crying.

Mike had also woken up, but he was taking care of the kids right now, alone.

I closed my eyes again, I drifted away again... But I shot back at my phone buzzed multiple times.

I sighed, here we go again..

Unknown: Hello Chester.. it's been quite a while hasn't it?

Unknown: I just came to remind you that You ran out of chances and time.

Unknown: I'll see you later, somewhere this week perhaps, maybe today, or tomorrow..

Me: Why are you doing this?

Unknown: I think I already cleared that out. Mike is supposed to be with me, you just steal him away from me and for that you will pay.

Unknown: I gave you so many chances but you fucked up every single one just like you fuck up everything else in your life.

Unknown: Have fun with your friends and family, Chester. It will probably be your last chance.

It chilled me to the bone.. Would they really do something? Like, will they really kill me?

I started panicking as I walked around the room rapidly, with sweaty palms, a rapid heartbeat and short, quick breathing.

"Ches?" I heard Mike "What's wrong?"

"T-They're, t-they're coming f-for me Mike.. They're, T-They're gonna kill me..." I panicked. I noticed Mike rolling his eyes "who?"

"That number.. They warne-" I got interrupted by Mike.

"Chester, When will you understand that it's probably just bullshit. Quit being Paranoid all the time." Mike sighed.

And so He left the room, he left me alone, alone with my own Mind.
