a/n: this is a song fic. based off i say no from heathers (west end recording). angsty as hell.

*technical difficulties (kind of) that turns into something else (no spoilers)*

You are a drug, you are a poison pill

Jeremy sits on his bed, tears in his eyes from being so overwhelmed.

I've got to kick this habit now or else I never will

He thinks about Michael and the party. Now he wishes he'd listened to Michael.

I love the rush, when you would hold me close

Jeremy feels the SQUIP's presence near him. He shivers and tries to stop crying.

But you will not be satisfied until I overdose

"Jeremy, we have a plan, and you're just sitting there crying." It says, narrowing it's eyes.

This is it, hit the brakes, I am finally awake

Jeremy opens his eyes and sits up, scared of slouching.

Let me be, let me go

"Jeremy. Listen to me."

You need help I can't provide, I am not qualified

He gasps, holding back tears. He doesn't want to listen.

This troubled teen is getting clean

He knows what'll happen if he doesn't.

I say no

"What if I don't want to follow up on this plan of yours?"

Don't say a word, you speak and I cave in

A sharp pain makes Jeremy yell. Scars run up his back, from being repeatedly shocked.

You'll twist the truth again and drill deep down beneath my skin

"You have to obey me, or else you'll never have Christine."

You said you'd change and I believed in you

Jeremy doesn't want Christine. Not anymore. He knows Christine is not an object he can own and command.

But you're still using me to justify the harm you do

It stands up, and paces around Jeremy's room.

This is it, hit the brake, call it all my mistake

"Everything I've made you do, Jeremy, everything you will do, it's all for your happiness." It hisses.

Long as you let me go

Jeremy laughs coldly, eyes red and puffy.

You need help I can't provide, I'm not Bonnie, you're not Clyde

"You want to make me happy?"

It's not too late, I'm getting straight

The SQUIP turns around sharply. "Of course. My primary objective is to make you happy. Everything I do is to obtain my primary objective. Do you find I am...falling short of my goal?"

I say no

"Falling short to say the least! You made do that thing with Chloe against my will and you didn't let me see Michael! You made me into an asshole of a person! Someone who throws away everyone he loves!"

Blame your childhood, blame your dad

"You made me crush Michael and leave him behind! You made me throw Brooke aside for Chloe! I want to be able to do what I want!"

Blame the life you never had.

"Those decisions," It whispers, "were made to help you get popular, like you wanted."

But hurting people, that's your choice, my friend

"I have the processing capacity to understand society's rules and the things I made you do follow those rules."

'Cause I believe that love will win

"I don't follow rules, you stupid computer. I break them."

And hate will learn you nothing in the end

"And I want you out of my head."

This is the end

The SQUIP straightens up and takes a deep breath.

This is it, I won't cry

Jeremy stands up wipes his eyes. "I said, get out of my fucking head!"

Starting now I will try to pay back all the karma I owe

"Fine. But I'll be back." It disappears and Jeremy runs out of his room.

Start again, somewhere new, far from cool guys like you

He runs downstairs, through the hallway and out of the door. (a/n: yes, he has shoes on.)

So goodbye 'cause now I

He runs towards a house that's very familliar. Michael's house.

I say no

He doesn't need to knock. Michael's moms stand there, and look confused at Jeremy's rushed state.

Just in time, I say no

"Michael? Michael? Michael?!" Jeremy yells, running to Michael's basement.

Somehow I'm saying no

Jeremy starts crying when he sees Michael. Michael with tears streaming down his face. Michael with blood in pools around him. Michael with a bottle of children's medication in his hands.

Just say no

"Michael!" Jeremy runs towards Michael and hugs him. "Please don't, don't leave me. I need, I need Mountain Dew Red, and I need you to say alive, goddamnit!"

I say no

Michael sobs harder. "Why? Why me? Why now? Why after you left me at that party? Why did you wait so long?"

"I didn't realize that I, I couldn't realize that I..."

No!

"I love you, Michael."
