"You don't want to drink this!", the squip yelled at me. "And why not?", I yelled back. "Because then you'll never be with him!" The squip pointed to Michael, who kneeled on the ground and covered his mouth with his hand. "How do you-", I thought towards it. "I'm inside your brain, Jeremy. You can't have secrets from me", it replied, rolling its eyes.
I focused back on michael. "Michael?" "I'm sorry Jeremy. You were right about... how it feels! I feel", he said, looking around first and suddenly staring into my eyes, "amazing!" "NO!", I yelled and nearly dropped the bottle, unable to move. Michael slowly walked closer to me. "You are the person I want to be with every day", he started to sing, "and this is something that I've been afraid to say!" "This is not Michael", I tried to remind myself. "I assure you, it is! Only his fears and insecurities have been removed!", the squip said. I wanted to say something, but I felt michael putting a hand on my face and turned my face towards him. "You're the guy I am so kinda into. The guy I am totally into, this feeling is new! Jeremy, I love you." He put his arms around me and smiled at me. I looked away and mumbled: "I should do whatever I want" "That's what I promised!", the squip said encouraging me. I stayed still fir a second, till I made the decision. "Drink this" I told Michael and handed him the bottle. "Wait you-", the squip said but Neither of us listened. Michael gave me a questioning look. I nodded softly and watched, as he drank the red liquid. He dropped the bottle, staring at me in pain until he started to scream and fell to the floor, his arms wrapped around his head. "MICHAEL!" I let myself fall next to him, not realizing or caring, that the others started to scream too. I just held him tightly against my chest. The pain in my head became worse. I thought my head would explode, everything else numbed and faded away.When I woke up again, the first thing I saw was a white light. I blinked a few times until I realized, that I was in a hospital. "Thup dude", someone said. I got a little fright and turned around. "Calm down, dude", rich said with a grin. "Feels like you're missing a part of yourself, doesn't it?", he asked. "Rich?!", I asked. "The one and only. But... be honest: what are they saying about me in school?", be asked me. I didn't answer for a while. "That bad?", rich sighed and dropped his head on his pillow. "Sorry" "Don't be. I'm better off. That thing was crazy! When I'm off here, the lady's are gonna learn to love the real Rich. And the dudes. Oh my God, the dudes! I am totally bi!" "Me too, hun", I grinned, "But... how?" "Ask your buddy. Antisocial-headphones-kid? Is he your boyfriend? Is he single? I'm totally bi now", Rich rumbled. I just stared at Michael, who entered the room, just as he said it. "Oh heeeyyy", Rich said awkwardly. "Hi Riich", he said just as awkwardly and stormed to my bed. "Michael! What happend?", I said, clinging to his hoodie. "Hey Jere! I'm so glad to see you! Are you okay?", he asked. "I'm good, I just wanna know what happened", I said and moved to one side, so he could sit next to me. "Some people passed out, you, Jenna, Chloe and Brooke. Jake and i wanted to help you. But in the end it was christine, who called an ambulance. She just came from the stage and had no idea what was going on. You were unconscious for three days. I was here sometimes", he explained, but was interrupted by rich, who yelled "he refused to leave your side for the first two days!" "Shut up, dwarf", Michael hissed back with a red face. "EY", Rich said and threw a napkin at Michael. I laughed and looked at the two. "However I was so worried! It was like it was my fault because I drank that mountain dew red, you know? And if I didn't-" "-that stupid thing would still be in control over us, Michael", I interrupted. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have left you because of it in the first place. I hurt you. And even after that you still tried to save me. And I- I just hurt you even more and" "oh shut up, Jeremy! That wasn't you", he said. I smiled at him and he grinned back with his michael-grin. It's a grin like... when you feel the warm sun of spring on your skin again for the first time after a long winter. Like a loving hug after you felt left behind. As if noone could harm you right now and everything was fine. Like- "I'm still here" Rich said, trying to get some attention. Michael and me looked away again with red faces. I wanted to sink in the floor and never come up ever again. Just in that moment I was saved by my dad, storming into the room. "Jeremy!", he said and rushed over to my bed. "You're wearing pants!" Michael and me said at the same time. I grinned at my dad who shrugged his shoulders and gave me a loving smile. "Come on, let's get you out of here", he said. I agreed and sat up, looking at Michael for a second. "Are You coming?", I asked. "Give me a minute? I want to talk to rich for a second. Alone?", he asked. "Oh. Sure"
"I'm doomed", I groaned, "how could I ask him?" "He's not some sort of God, son. He's your best friend!", dad said one hand on my shoulder. "Probably?" He laughed quietly and continued: "Hey, you know what? You gotta buy him a rose! Compliment him on his clothes!" "Say you appreciate, that he's smart!", christine added with a huge grin on her face. "No man, you tell him that he, exites you sexually!", Rich insisted, which made him get hit in the arm by christine. I chuckled at their fight.
In school, Chloe, Brooke and Jenna stopped me to give me more advice on it. Even Jake told me, he'd be there if I'd need some. And then, there he was. "I still remember how it felt. It's embarrassing to find out, deep down I just felt lonely all along", he said and gave me a sarcastic laugh. "Yeah, but, I mean who doesn't at some point? Look, I almost destroyed this school... almost definitely your trust in me. I know the last thing I deserve is a second shot, but-" "Just say what's on your mind, Jeremy", Michael said and tucked a bit if my hair behind my ear. "Lunch? Just the two of us?", I asked quietly. He hesitated for a second. I felt like I was dying until he quietly sang again: "and there are voices in my head, so many voices in my head..." I took his hands and answered in his melody "but I swear the voices there will be the regular kind." Michael looked back up at me. "Me and the voices in my head have made up our collective minds", he sang. "What do they say we should do?", I asked. "I think that all of us want to go out with you", he said and gave me a small and shy kiss on the cheek. "Pick me up tomorrow at 12 PM?", he whispered. "I'll be there", I said shyly. Michael smiled at me and walked the other direction, leaving me with the others behind.
