The Graveyard Shift [Jeremike]

Chapter 31:A light in the dark

[A/N:Wow that was a lot to write, so I'm just gonna say for the record that I won't update as long as what I just did but tomorrow I'm going to be home all day since I'm going to the orthodontist to fix my braces and it's gonna hurt. So expect updates!]

Mike's P.O.V
_____________

I was running as fast as I could in the direction of the pizzeria expecting Jeremy to still be there but as I started passing where he used to live with his old father I saw him....standing on top of a roof getting ready to jump.

My blood ran cold as I watched him fall my legs started moving faster than my brain could function and I was lucky enough to catch him.....he was still and quiet in my arms as I clutched onto him for dear life.....

"I'm not letting you go that easily...." I muttered as his eyes opened looking at me with fear. "M-Mike?!" He asked shaking as he backed away from me. I felt a pang of sadness as I saw how much he feared me....why did I do that? Why didn't I have control over myself?

I sighed lightly and rubbed the back of my neck. "Look Jere, I know you probably hate my guts and that's fine I just wanted to tell you that I had no control over what I did, I didn't even know what I was doing....had I known I swear I would have stopped at the first hit! Anyways I-I'm sorry I understand if you can't forgive me..." I muttered turning around.

Mike turned away and started to leave but I grabbed his arm and hugged him with a light blush spreading across both of our faces. I knew trusting people wasn't easy but you had to take a leap of faith to try something new...and this was my leap.

He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "I-I'm sorry Mike...I-I shouldn't have done that b-back there....I-I was being a self-" I started but was interrupted by his lips meeting mine.

[A/N: I regret absolutely nothing.]
