Michael was woken up at 8 am. Michael was never a morning person. He yelled at Ashton the whole hour it took him to get dressed. Ashton felt guilty, but he felt he was making the right choice.

"Ashton, seeming as I'm going to the nut house, can you give me and hour to go to the park?" he grumbled.

"I don't know. Whatever. Just don't do anything stupid and be back in an hour."

Michael ran out of the door and headed for the pharmacy. He grabbed to containers of Advil. He quickly paid for it and headed to the park. No one was around. It was a pretty cloudy day. Michael thought it was beautiful. He always wanted to die beautifully.

He opened the Advil. He poured the bottle in his hand. He counted 19 pills. One by one he swallowed them. He leaned against the trees and pulled out a notebook.

'Love is a strange thing. You find a person and kind of just pick them. I once read that when your in love, your body blocks out all a persons imperfections and makes them seem perfect. But Luke really was perfect. His smile, his obsessive compulsion to fix his hair, his blue eyes, his voice, his innocents, his kisses, his ability to ramble, and how naive he was. He fell in love with me. I fell in love with him. But he left. I don't blame him, he had a dream and I was just a stepping stone. But Luke was as good as I'll ever get. Now I'm falling asleep so I can keep my love for you eternal. I want you to move on Luke. Fall in love, but please never fall out of love with me. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.'

He was starting to slow his breathing when he heard his phone ring.

"Hello?" Michael asked.

"Hey it's Luke." he slurred.

"Luke are you drunk?"

"Maybeeeee," he giggled.

"Why? You never drink."

"Mikey it was raining and I thought of you and I drank because I was sad. I miss our dates and cuddleessss. And I miss you beiNG KinKY." he slurred. Giggles erupted in between words.

"Bye Luke. I love you. Promise me you'll visit?" Michael cried.

"I love youuuuuu I'll visit FOR SHORE." Luke laughed.

Michael hung up. A single tear rolled down his face and it had been 6 hours. People would start to look for him. Michael leaned against the tree and fell asleep.

19 pills.
