"Jesus Christ," Michael sighed as he flopped unto his bed. Every day, the voices got louder. Saying stuff like You'll never be good enough and Why did you hurt me? As the voices got louder, his guilt for getting rid of the SQUIP did as well. He knew he did the right thing, the evidence was his best friend on a bean bag to his left.
Jeremy had been chilling to his music and smoking a bit while Michael groaned and shoved his face in his pillow. "Hey Jeremy?" he asked. Of course, Jeremy didn't hear over his music. So he flipped and flopped to his left until he fell off the bed onto Jeremys lap.
Jeremy giggled. "What's wrong, bud?" he asked as he took his earbuds out.
"I feel..." Michaels face turned red. He never liked talking about his feelings. Jeremy, seeing his friend was serious, put down the joint and started playing with Michael's hair; that always seemed to calm him. After a long pause, Michael finally said, "Guilty."
Jeremy was admittedly confused. "Why? Is it because of what happened when I was SQUIPed? If anything, I should be sorry. I left you."
"No, it's not that. I just..." He searched for the words, fixing his glasses. "Sometimes, even though I never had him, I swear I can hear his voice. Saying stuff like, 'Why did you kill me?' and 'You'll never forget me.'"
"Jesus." Jeremy sighed and stared off, his hands stilling in Michaels hair. "He was never even that bad with me. I'm so sorry you had to do that, Michael."
"Do you have voices in your head?" Michael blurted, not wanting Jeremy to apologize.
He smiled fondly. "Yeah. But of all of the voices in my head, the loudest one is mine. I always try to remember that."
Michael hummed, slowly getting a bit more sleepy. "I don't think..."
"Hmm?"
"I don't think I know what my voice is supposed to sound like," he mumbled sadly before drifting off in Jeremys grip. Jeremy, after a few minutes, drifted off as well. And so they both dozed, dreaming of the voices in their head.
(A/N thank you so much for getting this far! Sorry it's so short but just a disclaimer, I tend to have a lot of short chapters. Stay tuned and I hope you enjoyed!)
