Too Good To Be True (MichaelMellxReader)

Ch.16// Great Tragedy

Michael's POV
I just got Y/N back, permanently.
(Knock on wood)
I was so happy. I don't think I've been this ecstatic in a long time. She clearly doesn't understand the amazingness of her recovery because.... she couldn't remember.
But I can. I am SO excited.

I was laying on my bed, Y/N snuggled up in my side. I really loved just staring at her, studying her gorgeous features like it was a book.
Her beautiful (h/c) hair, her small round nose, her pretty pink lips that breathed softly as she slept.

I ran my fingers through her hair and hugged her closer. Her eyes lightly fluttered open, and she looked up at me with her deep (e/c) orbs.

"Hey Micah~" she whispered. The nickname made me blush and my stomach warble.
"Hey N/N~" I hummed back. She smiled.

"Can we go to the mall today?" She asked, tugging on my collar. She stuck her lip out like a 6-year old and I kissed her nose.
"Of course we can. It's Saturday."
She smiled and jumped up, running to my closet. I missed the warmth of her by me.

I got up and stretched, looking for my headphones I threw on the floor last night.
She came out wearing her jeans, and one of my t-shirts that was way to big on her. It made me smile.
She picked up a sweater from the floor and slipped it on. The bright green letters that danced across the black fabric mocked me.

"Maybe don't wear that one." I chuckled awkwardly. She looked at me confused, but shrugged and picked up a different one.

*time skip*

We were at the mall, walking around with slushies. We always stop at 7/11 before we go anywhere.
Y/N was looking around like she was in a museum. Until we came to Forever 21.

"I see Brooke!" She squealed. I smiled.
"Stay here, I'm going to go say hi real quick."
She said, sprinting into the store.
I giggled and sat outside on my phone.
***MASS TEXT FROM: JENNA ROLAN***
I groaned and opened it, knowing I'd find out sooner or later.

Oh my god oh my god! So Christine Caligula has gone MISSING!! No one knows where she went, Jeremy says she disappeared after they went out for Pinkberry. It's legit, SO SAD! Spread the word!

I think that's the first time I've ever read something from Jenna that was useful. Oh god Jeremy must be a wreck.
I dialed his number and he picked up.
"Hey man, I heard what happened. You okay?"
He was hyperventilating on the other end.
"I-I don't know man. W-we were w-walking home from Pinkb-berry and I s-stopped at my house like usual. When I called her l-later, she didn't pick up. Then I went over and h-her parents said t-they haven't seen her and her phone's out of service and all her stuff is still at her house-"
"Okay Jer, calm down."

Suddenly Y/M came running out of the store frantic. She waved her phone in the air and I saw she had opened Jenna's text.
"DID YOU SEE THIS?!" She shrieked.
I nodded.
"I'm on the phone with Jeremy."

"HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN?!" He yelled.
"Christine is MISSING!! What is something happened to her? What if- what if....."
He didn't finish.
"Jeremy where are you?"
"The park."
I huffed and ended the call.
"We need to go."
Y/N nodded and grabbed my hand, running for the front door.

We sprinted out the mall to my car and high-tailed it to the park. I knew if Jeremy was having a panic attack, which he probably was, he was pretty much immobile, paralyzed.

We got there and I looked around for him.
"Jeremy? You okay?" I called out.
I knew he was probably freaking out somewhere. By the sounds of it, Christine has been missing for a couple days.

Then I saw something terrifying.
Jeremy's phone, smashed into pieces, laying on a bench, next to a ripped piece of his cardigan.
I froze in fear, and Y/N ran to it.
She looked frantically for clues to his departure but it was clear...

Someone was taking West Borough students.
