Chapter Text

Jeremy sat akwardly at the table bouncing his leg. He didn't know why he done that most the time it ended up in him bashing his knee or thigh on the table and something getting spilled but he felt like he needed some sort of fidgeting that wasn't a obvious and hopefully no one would be staring at his leg the entire dinner..they might be if he does keep knocking stuff over thought like seriously why does he keep doing that.

Anyways, here he was, him,his dad,Heidi and..evan? He thinks that's his name.. They moved in around..er..two weeks ago? It had been a confusing month..few months?..year?.. It had been a confusing time. Jeremy thought back to the wedding a few weeks ago, they [His dad and Heidi] had chosen to keep the last name heere as apparently Hansen was a reminder of Heidi's ex husband and Heere was always Jeremys dads last name so it just made sense, jeremy didn't see the logic but to be honest he preferred to keep the name Heere so he kept his mouth shut.

He was allowed to bring a plus one to the wedding to keep him busy so of course,he brought Michael. Jeremy thought about how handsome he looked in a suit,it was rare to ever see Michael in something formal and god did it suit him, not that jeremy didn't like Michaels usal style of outfit it suited him too but just, he couldn't stop thinking about how the suit hugged around his hips...and how Micheal kept complaning how uncomfortable the suit was. Yeah maybe it's a good thing he doesn't usually wear them. Apart from the clothes Michael seemed particularly happy that day, though he did get annoyed whenever Jeremy had tried to make conversation with Evan, but Jeremy put that down too Michael not wanting too speak to a stranger in an already quite loud and busy place,which he didn't want to do either to be honest but his dad had made him atleast attempt to talk to Evan. Jeremy and Evan had alot in common, very similar,both anxious messes,both bisexual,both easily fucked up shit for a girl. Well,Evan had a boyfriend now his name was Connor [yes there's treebros FUCK YOU TOBY IDC IF JARED WAS BETTER- sorry this is really aimed back to the story!]. He was the polar opposite of Evan, tall , eno, violent a bit but sweet to Evan (Well he is now,according to Evan he used to be a bitch but ...changed? What kind of enemys to lovers fanfic is HE living in?). Jeremy had never spoke to connor he was too...well..scary?

"Isn't that right Jeremy!!" Jeremy snapped out his trance and looked up 

"..huh-?"

"You got the lead in the new play or- musical or..something that your doing!!" Mr Heere said.

"Ah- one of the leads yes, but erm..Mi-Michael got set design and tech! It's annoying th-that that-" he sighed, stupid stutter. "It's annoying that people don't realisebacks-backstage is just as important as- as the actors!"

"You sure do bring up this Michael kid alot, who is he?" Heidi butted in, Jesus can't she talk about him talk about his best friend- nevermind she was just being nice.

"That's his boyfriend~" Connor [who was sleeping over] told her dragging out the word boyfriend as if to tease Jeremy.

"Wha- what!? No!!" Jeremy felt himself heat up.

"Come- Come on Connor he's just- just jeremy's childhood friend!" Evan said,obviously trying not to laugh. Jeremy huffed and got up, his chair scraping across the floor God he hated that noise,  and went to go put his dish in the sink.

"I'm going to- to Richs we've got a project.." With that he turned and left the door, hearing a muffled Connor and Evan laughing from behind it.


Jeremy infact didnt go to Richs, he went to go meet up with everyone at the Mega Shopping Mall as planned. It was a weird place, one of the signs read Welcome to the Mega Shopping Mall then like ''The smart ones all packed up and went Why stay if you can't pay the rent? No we will never leave this town at all.'' Though last time he went here Christine shouted something about riding a cyclone when she saw it so he guessed it was a fake refrence of some sort.


-----------First person,Jeremy's POV-----------------


I step into the subway and look around, I see Rich,Jake and Christine sat down at a table, Michael isn't here yet though he isn't usually invited if it isn't me inviting him so I don't know if he's coming. I nervously walk over to the table and sit down next to Christine, I hope they don't notice my fidgeting with my hands, its a natural habit thought so if they do hopefully they got used to it by now and won't ask.


"YOOOOO JEREMMYY!!" Rich shouted at the sight of me.


"Ay bromo!!" That was Jake,you can tell from the excessive use of the word bro, he does that a lot though usually to everyone he seems to use it the most with rich,as if he's trying to convince someone something,weird right?


"Hi Jer!!"


I wave back to them all and moved my hands to fidget with the hem of my shirt instead, did I look weird? I bet I looked weird- oh God now my hands are  probably sweaty,I wipe them on the edge of my shirt to hopefully get rid of the sweat. 


"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" I jumped (figuratively not literally,I hope anyways) and turned to see what rich was squealing and staring at. It was..Michael? He was speeding towards our table (Faster then I've ever seen him run,though he has asthma so he doesn't run a lot..unless its to a Pac-Man machine). As soon as he gets here he halts and slams his fist on our table.

"Hola!!"..thats the fucking hottest accent ever


"MICHAEL YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME'' I try not to laugh at rich's lisp,I try to take him seriously but boy is it hard when he sounds like a two year old..you get used to it though!


Michael smiled and took the empty seat at the edge of the table, not in the booth. Before anyone can speak to him he puts his headphones on and rests his head on the table..what was the point of coming then..not that I'm complaing of course!! Everyone starts a different conversation but I zone out staring at Michael. His dark messy curly hair being more messed up then usual due to the table, a patch of virtilgo he forgot to cover up in the back of his neck peaked up from over his hoodie. I felt myself smile slightly. I love Michas virtilgo. I think it's gorgeous. Sadly he doesn't,something about dalmatians,cows and moldy bread. I never listen though,I don't see the point when its just nonsence,he's gorgeous andd I wish he'd see it.


"Yo jeremy, broski, you good?"


I jump and look up nodding so hard Im pretty sure my head is going to fall off. I didn't even notice that I ended up resting my cheek on my hand,just staring at Michael like those girls in romcoms looking at their crush,which is stupid because I don't like Michael!! Well- i do but not in that way! He's just my best friend!! I mean sure he's on my mind 24/7 but that's NOT a crush!!


"Hellooo? Earth to Jeremyy? Stop zoning out silly!!" I look over my shoulder at Christine and nervously smile.

"Ah- sorry Chris!!"

I think Micha's fallen asleep by now , which makes sense, he was probably up babysitting his siblings all night again. Everyone has around an hour long conversation, I try to but in and make comments when I can but I keep zoning out looking at Michael. By the time everyone decided to leave and go somewhere else,Michael was still asleep  I decided to stay and maybe wake him up whilst everyone else waited at the fountain.

Chapter Text

First Person, Michaels POV


I wake up and look around taking in my surroundings, It seems everyone had already left expect Jeremy. I smiles up at him and brush my curls out my face only for them to fall back into place.

"Hey- hey Micha!! Everyone else- uh- went outside but- but if your to tierd you can go home..we where on- only going to look around!!"

I shook my head and muttered about it being fine before taking of my headphones off (which had unfortuntally died whilst I fell asleep, God I need new headphones but i've had these for like.. ten years I don't want to change them..even if they are falling apart and you can see a few parts of the wires where I've had to tape them..oh well!) and place them around my neck. I then grab my blue 'riends' backpack and follow Jeremy,I think he's saying something but I cant focous, just walk and nod, walk and nod, walk and- EUGH.

SPLASH


Maybe looking where your going is a smart idea or else you (like me) will end up in a fountain. I sat up in shock as the water dripped down my face into my ears and eyes. Lord am I glad my phone is in my bad, which got caught on the edge of the fountain and DIDN'T fall in. However both me and my headphones are drenched in water, good way to help my mood HUH UNIVERSE. I slowly take Jeremys hand and got up out the fountain, it was so cold ugh.

"AHAHSAHHASHHSDKJADSAHAKA" Rich is wheezing, Jake doing the same. Christine is also giggling but looking at me slightly concerned. I sigh and look at Jeremy who is .looking at me panicked, thought its Jeremy when isn't he panicked? Before I can say anything Jeremys dragging me into the Mall public bathroom (kinky-..no Michael.).

Theese public bathrooms smell like shit,their always a mess and just unhygenic. I see Jeremy looking at me,his mouth is moving but I just can't make sense of the words. I can hear him speaking but I cant hear when he's saying. I feel my breathe suddenly speed up as I realize what's going on, this entire time i've felt tensed, everything was becoming too much though I wasn't thinking much off it but now..oh my God..My clothes were sticking to my skin, it's all wet and sticky [hehehehehe], my hair is flipping to the wrong side of its parting WHY IS IT DOING THAT, my glasses are still pretty much foggy, the fan is too loud and my breathings quick again..FUCK I CANT BREATHE!?

Jeremy must of noticed by now as I can hear faint mummers that sound roughly like my name...it dosen't help that my hearing aids might now be broken because of the godamn water- WHAT IF MY HEADPHONES ARE TOO. Without thinking I grab my hoodie, usually my comfort, and yank it off chucking it to the floor,I do the same with my Pac-Man shirt not bothering to even try with my binder even though its probably fucking up my breathing more. I need to get out of here,out of theese clothes. I feel a hand on my back pulling me down to the floor. I look over at Jeremy, he doesn't seem to mind that I'm hald naked, thogh there's a tint of red in his cheeks and he's mostly looking away. I still can't understand what he's saying though. All I can think about is the lights ..fan ..clothes ..noise ..lights ..fan ..clothes ..noise..lights..fa-


BAM


The door closes and..Jeremys gone? Am I alone in the bathroom AGAIN? I pull my hands to my hair and tug as hard as I can, the one sense I kind of have control of at the moment. I tug and tug gritting my teeth as my fingers get stuck in between the tangles. Time goes by  slowly and it feels like five hours of this hell. Then the door opens and jeremy runs in holding a bag,he hands me a newly brought hoodie, sweat pants and a T-shirt. By now I can make out a few words..something about changed, then he turns around. I notice its a baggy hoodie, probably so I can not wear my binder and not be noticed. Jeremy looks back, does a weird rolling thing with his hand and looks away again,I take it as my que to change. I felt weight go off my shoulders as I put on the dry soft clothes, but I'm still embarassed I have to walk around without a binder.  I just want to go home.. I tap Jeremys shoulder letting him know i've changed, he turns around and looks at me sadly. I flash him a small smile trying to cheer him up before sighing knowing its not working.

"Y-you wanna go..go home?"

I nodded, I hate my house but I would rather be home in my basement then here right now. We both got up and left, Jeremy texting the others to inform them.

Jeremy pov first person

I dont how we got here,Michael curled up into a ball asleep against my chest,my arms around him. Getting back through the mall with no headphones was a nightmare that ended in tears. The room is quite,his breathing is calm..for once its calm..he looks so amazing..i wonder what the others are doing right now..

—-Jake pov, first person—--

Rich pinned me against the wall of the bathroom stall,I looked down at him speechless,his lips looked so amazing..how did we even get here..whats going on.. Also why is the SHORT ONE PINNING ME TO THE WALL- not like i mind though..god he looked so hot, before he could say anything i leant down and pushed my lips against his,feeling warmth spread through my body. Before I knew it he was kissing back, I felt his tongue trace my bottom lip before intruding my mouth causing me to let out a small groan. I always imagined this happening thought it was always different circumstances, him on my bed  and.. we don’t want to get into that.

I felt myself be slammed against the wall again as he pulled me down by the shirt to kiss my neck, his tongue tracing it in circles he kept sucking and sucking on my neck probably causing marks to form. He bit down and i let out a small groan. And he looked up at me smirking. God i was so hard right now and im guessing he knew that, i pulled him back into a kiss our tongues dancing and-

“WHAT THE FUCK”

I turned around and froze..christine walked in on us..oh  lord

“Chrisssss heyyyy!!!”

She stared at us blanky,eyes wide and she just slowly stared..this was awkward…

“ARE YOU TWO DATING!?”

Me and Rich stared at eachover confused..are we? This is going to be awkward- god what if was just horny and doesn't want to be my friend again..

Before i can say anything Rich shoved pass me and legged it,past Chris,past the bathroom,past anywhere,he just legged it. I shouted after him but he didnt look back.


—---Jeremy first person POV—--

I hugged Michael tighter as i stared at his face, the cuteness was unbearable and oh my god he was so warm. I don’t want anyone to hurt him..i dont want to hurt him ever again..he looks so vulnerable and i love him too much to-...love…oh my god..i have a crush on Michael

I cant- he definitely dosen’t like me back!! Oh no no no no no… Im fucked im so fucked ive never been more fucked in my life!! He stirred and moved so he’s hugging me he’s so pretty oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh i just want to- he wont- I lean forward and kiss his forehead as in a good night way,hes so cute im sure it will-

“mmmhh..jeremy?”

-----Rich Pov first person-----


Im such and idiot im such an idiot im such an idiot why did I do that! Jake would never like me and now I'm stuck here running away from him!! Oh my God I'm such an idiot what if he tried to run after me he cant do that with his legs!! What if he hurts himself oh my God oh my god!! I just look forward and keep running,running- running running Ain't runnin' from myself no more Together we'll win it all- no Richard no songs- AHH SHIT.

I feel my face hit the ground, the dust thingys go all over me. Oh shit. I try to push myself up but I feel a sharp pain rush through me coming through my ankle, that must be twisted godammit richard can't you do anything right!! Once I push myself over to be facing upwards I consider just laying there,laying there and letting the universe take me but I'm not a wimp. I cant be this sad over one mistake I mean sure I might loose my best friend, my crush, my man Jakey-D, one of the only important things that's ever happened to me but its chill,right? I wince at the word..Chill. God what has that stupid wintergreen tictac done to me I cant even handle hearing one simple word.

This is bullshit. To be honest I don't even know how I havent been ditched yet. I mean I quite litreally set fire to his house and burnt it down on Halloween! He also knows I'm the one who told Jeremy about the SQUIP, who spread it around the school, causing them to all be SQUIPed,chain reaction. AND I'm the reason he jumped out a window and broke both his legs, which he then happens to walk on and fall over on to them for the short amount of time he was SQUIPed meaning he is now stuck with Chronic leg pain. Which is so weird by the way, Jake is the most sporty person I know he was in like every club and now he cant even do PE half the time? And it's all my fault. It all comes down to me. And now I'm the one who just quite literally made out with him in a random stall, causing someone to walk in on us. What the if the rumor gets spread his reputation could be RUINED. I mean mine already is because of the fire and..the totally bi thing. In my defense I was on ansthetsia or..whatever it is I forgot I didn't mean to shout about it that loud.

I feel a tear roll down my face, me and Jake have been friend since like forever, he's the only one who knows I'm trans, who knows I'm Daria who used to go here freshman year and that I'm not a kid who joined the year after. He was secretly one of my friends when I was a nerd kid,we've been friends since around halfway through middle school. He was there for me when me and my dad got into fights, he always let me stay at his house no matter what, and that chance inscresed once his parents left. Those shitty ass bitches leaving your son for money? Its not like they payed enough a attention to Jake anyways when he was younger, and God now I'm sad even more. Im the only one who knows about what makes Jake sad,if he leaves me then who's going to help him?

What am I on about he'll probably find a new person to go to, someone else to tell everything too, Chloe, Jenna, Jeremy ,Christine like anyone!! Its not like I was much help anyways.

I push myself up and look around feeling my hair blow into my face. This is going to be a long day and I just know it. Where even am I? I'm in the park in the middle of somewhere with no one who I know around me as far as I can see. This is Brook park if i've guessed correctly? I don't go here often, or to parks like this often I'm usually just sat chilling like anywhere else where I actually have something to do,but now I'm sat here on the floor crying my heart out like a pathetic little baby.

"Hey-..Rich? Are you okay" I jump as I hear a soft voice behind me, well more of a sharp voice but in a soft tone? That voice can belong to no other then

"Chloe?" Shit Chloe. I quickly wipe my face and go to jump up out of reflex before wincing as I hit my ankle again,as I sink to the ground I feel a ar quickly wrap around me and I look over at Chloe. "Heyyyy chlo!!" I say awkwardly.

"Hi..uh..lets get you over to the bench yeah?" I nod and I walk over to the bench with her support,well more like hop over to the bench but yeah. We both sit down and I look straight ahead,this is awkward so awkward. Not likee I have a bad time speaking to Chloe but..What If she asks what's going on am I really going to tell Jakes Ex about a huge crush I have on him.

"So..why are you crying?" She looks at me sympathetically.

"No reason." I say stubbernly but as I look back at her I see a glare only a mother has (pssht not like I would know) and suddenly I break,I start sobbing again I want to stop I don't want to cry but I cant help it. "Jake fucking hates me and I know it he fucking hates my guts and wants me to die- okay maybe a bit overdramatic but he's not going to want to be my friend again!!"

"Woah woah woah rich- rich breathe" Chloe says putting her arm on my back. "Slow down, why do you think Jake hates you."

"Because i- we- i-" I just stopped and cried into my arms,sobbing my eyes out I hate myself why am I even doing this, why does Chloe even care why couldn't she let me cry in peace. Jesus these intrusive bitches. 

"Take your time" I wanted to..I wanted to tell her but i- I just couldn't, instead I done what I always do,got up, and ran.

-------Rich POV, First person,Next day------


And here he was,texting me like nothing ever happens? Is he not even going to mention the make out!! I mean I don't want to ruin our friendship but oh my God just ignoring it!? This is bullshit now all I can think about is this!!

I know,if he's not going to bring It up maybe I'll just..impress him, be better and he'll like me and then it will be fine! Yeah..yeah..lets do that..try to get someone..try to get Jake..again..but this time no SQUIPS involved.

Chapter Text

“mmmhh..jeremy?”

---First person, Michael POV---

I open my eyes a little bit watching as Jeremy fades into image..did he just? No there- there was no way he did that. When i look up at him he looks away and i can see the him flushing bright red. Did he really just kiss me!? There..i must of been dreaming right? Would it be weird to ask- because what if it was a dream and now he know im dreaming about being kissed by him. But what if it wasn't and i really just got kissed by my crush!! 

I use my elbows to push myself up slightly and move so im sat up cross legged on my bed. From the corner of my blurry eyes i can see my glasses that i assume Jere took off me on my bedside table,so i reach over and grab them slowly putting them on my face sighing of relif when i can see clearly again. My hair feels mucky as it always does when waking up, running a hand through it confirms the fact that its tangled though none of that matters right now not when all i can think about is that feeling of Jeremys soft lips on my forehead. It was a coincidental time to wake up sure,but boy am i glad i woke up then. Before i can say anything i see a bright red Jeremy grab my hands (His hands are extremly sweaty) and start rambling on and on.

"Oh my god- michael i- im so sorry i didnt mean to- i didnt mean to kiss you oh my god oh my god oh my god im so so sorry- why did- did i do that i- you where asleep and- oh lord what if- what if you didnt want to be kissed- oh my god oh my god dont hate me''

I keep trying to but in but Jeremy wont stop rambling DUDE.

"Jere-"

"ohmygodohmygod"

"Miah-"

"oh my god oh my god i-i im so sorry!"

"Aking Mahal-"

"ohmygodohmygod"

"JEREMY"

He winced and looked up at me,i sighed.

"sorry for Shouting but oh my god please shut up and listen to me."

He looks down and nods, his long-ish brown hair falling over his face, well i guess this confirms he did kiss me....OHMYGODHEKISSEDME.

"Dude its- its fine you dont have to apolgise.."

"no but you where asleep and- and i kissed you and and-"

Without thinking i quickly pull him into a kiss to shut him up, for a second i get terrfied, what if he meant the kiss in a friendly way? What if this wasnt what he want- My thoughts get intruppted by Jeremy kissing me back. I move my arms to go around his waist trying to kiss him the best i can- i dont know how to do this im a virgin and porn dont show you the INSIDE of their mouths!! Before i know it Jeremys pushing me down to lay down again and he's ontop of me kissing me oh my lordie lord. We both pull back staring at eachover panting for our breath back,as much as i have the urge to do more gotta keep it in my pants for the homies.

"So...No homo right?" Jeremy says staring at me ISTHISFAGGOTFUCKINGKIDDINGME-

"Yeah..no homo.."

"That was just a- friends thing!" He said akwardly moving up off me brushing his hair behind his ear, sometimes its cute when he does that but other times he looks like a tiktok pick me.

"Uh..yeaahhh sure...If that was a friends thing then you wouldn't mind taking me on a friends date?" I say smirking at him, its so cute when he turns red ohmygod.

"I- i uh- i mean of course- uh" He stumbles over his words.

"Great then aking mahal" I've been calling him this for ages HOW he hasnt figured out the actual meaning yet is beyond me.

Jeremy nods then quickly pulls out his phone opening whatsapp, then turning away before i can look over his shoulder jesus dude you just kissed me and the first thing you do is text someone WOW.

Jeremys phone

Your number: OH MI GHDO OGH MY GFOD CHRISTNIE OMLT ROSIHDNSOIDHEWO

----Michaels POV, first person----


I look over at jeremy whilst he's texting, he's smiling widly and tapping his finger on his phone im so happy right now im holding back the urge to jump and run around the room like a crazy person,which i would do if i was alone. Jeremys so focused on typing, his tounges sticking out slighlty and he's squinting. I smile at him as i see him look up at me confused on why im staring, then i smile wider as i see him smile back with a toothy smile, ohmygod that tooth gap is so cute i might actually bury myself in a hole if i cant date this man right NOW.

----Jakes POV, first person----


I take a deep breathe as i walk up to the door my sandles coming off and on my feet with every step, i really need shoes that fit me better. I look forward at the door infront of me, the goranski household. I dont know why im so nervous im here all the time? But..This times diffrent. I need to talk to rich about what happend,i've got to..he might not want to but..Its important right. I take a deep breathe and quickly knock on the cold wooden door.

"..hello?"

I look forward, riches dad?

"Uh hello...im here to speak to-"

"Rich,i know. Im sorry to inform you son but rich hasnt been home for the last three days.."

what.

Chapter Text

-----Jakes POV-----


I froze..what. This- no he cant be, he was at the mall with me three days ago he can't of just-. My heart raced,slow down calm down Jake he can't have gone that far..

"I-..excuse me?" I said to Mr Goranski a tint of anger in my voice.

"He hasn't been seen since he came back from the mall, ya deaf?" I gritted my teeth at his slurred words,most pepole would assume he's drunk of his mind beacuse his son went missing three days ago and he needs something to help with the stress,i however am not most pepole,i know better. I nodded and turned around speed walking too- i dont know actually..where was he..where had he slept..was he hurt!? Then i rembered something..the park he loves it there. Before i knew it i was sprinting to the park.

By the time i stopped there i was about to die of exhaustion. The park is around an hour away from Richs and my legs where not helping. They where pulsing with pain so badly i felt like i was going to faint,stupid chronic leg thing. I could barley stand at this point. As i came to a halt i finally realised the tears streaming down my face,i didnt know when i started crying but all i could tell is that i was crying alot. I started to breathe irreguarly my breath catching in my throat. I was such a bad friend im just stood here complaining whilst rich could be in so much worse pain!! I am such a bastard, rich wasn't in school for days and i selfishly thought it was because he was avoiding me!? Not everything is about you Jake!! I thought back to when he set fire to my house, he was stuck in the hospital in so much pain and i what, didn't go see him because i was a little bit mad!? Hell my best friend had a pill in his brain that was shocking him and driving him insane since freshman year and i didnt get suspicous ONCE. And now i've just gone and let him run away to the middle of nowhere- or be kidnapped or get killed!! Why couldn't that have been me- Rich had a plan, a life to do and now he might not do any of it and yet im here alone with nothing continuing to do what i want, i have a almost empty house considering i lost half my stuff in the fire, the only really close friend i have is rich, the only thing i really cared about is basketball and sports clubs but now i left all of that because of some stupid leg pain!! Not even my parents wanted me and- great now im here self loathing whilst rich is missing what the fuck Jakob.

I could barley move my legs without imense pain but its fine i'd do it..for Rich.

Oh my god i felt like collapsing, i was going to at this point. It had been an hour more of looking around diffrent places and i STILL hadn't found him and now i've ended up back at the park looking for somehwere to sit. Walking was like a chore but i made sure to keep an eye out for rich just in case, it had been roughly two hours and i bet his dad hadn't looked even outside his window to fucking check for the whole three days. 

As I moved infront of a bench i saw someone layed down on it already,short,in a black hoodie, a tuff of some red and brown hair poking out from under the hood and- hold on.

"RICH!?"

I watched as the short boy sat up quickly and stared at me wide eye-ed, he probably guessed i knew he was away from home because belive it or not i would NOT shout his name that loud otherwise.

"Jake..?"

I ran in and hugged him quickly, pulling him off so we where now both sat on the floor my whole bodyweight on my legs still but i was too focused on hugging rich to care.

"OH MY GOD RICH i've been so worried your dad said you where missing for three days since you came back what did that bastard do i swear to god, where have you been sleeping you look a mess, you didnt even ask too come stay at mine!? Dude i've been worried sick since i found out what the hell, nevermind im just so glad your okay oh my god-"

I was cut off by being abrubtly hugged back

"hey- woaaahhh breathe there rich boy, im fine."

I took a deep breath and pulled back nodding.

"Are you sure your not hurt-"

"yes dude im fine,promise i just got in a fight with my dad,and..you know how he is..so i got pissed off and ran..''

I looked at him, i was fulled sobbing at this point my legs where in pain i had finally found rich and oh god i wanted to punch his dad.

"That wanker, i swear to god i will punch him one day...do you want to come stay at mine, no ones there- of course and you probably need cleaning up.."

I saw rich nod and smiled at him sniffing slightly and wiping my eyes.

"hehe..that bloody wanker-" Rich said putting on a fake british accent, i smiled and laughed slightly.

"oh fuck of goranthki" I replied mocking his lips, he squinted at me and nodded.

"touché,touché"

I smiled at him and let go of him fully so he could get up and grab the small bag he had with him, but when i went to get up..it didn't go so well. My knee's buckled and i fell to the floor again sighing, Rich quickly looked down and put an arm around my shoulders helping me stand again.

"Jesus man are you okay?"

I nodded looking down. "yeah- yeah probably just from running.." Rich raised an eyebrow at me urging me to elborate. "oh- i was running for around an hour to here, then going beetween running and walking around for another hour looking for you" 

"What- dude you know your not allowed to run for too long!!"

I rolled my eyes and nodded.

"Yeah yeah i know,stupid rules."

Rich just sighed and grabbed his bag, staying by my side and helping me walk back home. I smiled the enitre time looking at the short boy somehow helping. Most the walk i got to just look at him so bonus. One day. One day i'll tell him how i feel,just not today.

---Jeremys POV, first person---


My fingers spammmed click every button on the control as i tried to beat Michael at this game.. i knew no controls to it but spam clicking them all would work. It was some stupid game named street fighter or something?? I tried to focus but i kept ending up staring at Michaels beautiful..gorgeus..face- this resulted in many lost games. In my defense,i would've lost anyways i Michael binge plays theese old games but i barley play them. 

"HAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" I jumped and turned seeing michael throw his hands up in the air leaning back, before loosing his balance and falling backwards completly,then bursting out in laughter. I laugh slightly before turning to the TV and realising why he cheered.

''you beat me AGAIN!?''

"EHEHEH YESSSSSSSSS!!" Michael sits up and smirks at me, i smile slighty back and mutter something about him knowing the game to well just to get a massive ass rant as a response, as suspected, i like when he rants i get to watch him just go on and on about anything he wants, its cute. "i am NOT THAT GOOD jeremy, i just know the tatics of the game see theese two buttons give you your special move, which if you used against me when i was by the edge there,adn my health bar was low you could've easily won but you didnt because you where spamming buttons and- Yeah!"

I just smile at him and flick his forehead "dork." he gasps and flips me off shouting at me, i just laugh more and grab the control again to find a new game.

After a while of scrolling the game shop something caught Michas eye. "OH MY GOD FNAF!? THERES FNAF FOR FREE GET IT GET IT GET IT!!" I raise my eyebrow and look over at him,not sure on why he wants an horror, but he looks to excited for me to say no.

"alright alright ill get the game"

He smiles and kicks his feet staring at the moniter as we wait for it to download..

"NO YOU TAKE THE CONTROLER" i shout shoving the controler towards his face.

"NO YOU TAKE IT JEREMY" He shouts shoving it back.

"YOU WANTED THE GAME YOU TAKE IT" I shove it into his hands and before he shouts back-

*SCCREECCHHH*

Michael jumps and squeals falling forwards and before i can react his head is on my lap, i blush and look down,he's blushing too. We're both just sat there staring at eachover, in silence. Michaels breathings still heavy from the jumpscare, it looks cute though, i cant stop staring at him, he looks so cute like this..I lean down,he leans up and before i know it our lips interlock. Its short but sweet, i pull away and look down at him, this is the second time we've kissed yet it's still as shocking as the last. I quickly pull him back up and into another kiss and he dosent deny it, we keep kissing more and more. He stands up pulling me with him and brings me to his bed, we continue kissing rolling onto eachover and switching who is on top. No speaking or anything, just kissng. I pull his hoodie off and kiss his jaw slightly earnign a slight moan. 

Click

"MichaaaaEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" I jump and turn to look at the door, stood in the door was Oscar, Michaels younger brother. He was fourteen and still had long hair from before he transtioned, he isnt usally talktive but can be to me and Michael depending on the day.

"OHMYGODOHMYGOD- OSCAR GET OUT!!" Michael screams sitting up from ontop of me,grabbing a mario pillow and chucking it at Oscar, who just smiled widley and hit it away from hitting it.

"MAMA MICHAEL Y JEREMY ESTÁN FOLLANDO!!!" ("Mam!! Michael and jeremy are fucking!!") Oscar shouts.

"NO VAMOS A SALIR OSCAR!!!" ("We are not get out Oscar!!") Michael shouts back causing oscar to slam the door and run of laughing.

I laugh slightly then look over to Michael..what do i say now- this is very akward..

"So-"

"..never speak of this again?" I intrupt, i mean i would but i am NOT ready yet i've got to go home and kick my feet and sqeual over this first.

"ah-..yeah.."

We both sit in akward silence.

"I should..go home.."  I grab my cardigan from before putting it over my shoulders,michael slowly nods.

"Bye Aking Mahal..Mahal kita!!!"

I wave and leave the room..what does that nickname actually mean? i pull out my phone typing it into the translation how would i spell this ..acking..mahal? aking? and then Mahal..key tah? kit? kita? I see the option to translate to fillapino,thats probably it. I look over at the translation.

Bye My Love, Love you.

----Chloes POV, first person----


I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, i have been trying for like an hour to get this hair right. I really need to redye my hair, the fade into blonde is messing up. I was thinking about trying to dye it a brighter color, like maybe some pink or purple but my mum said its too 'unatural' and natural beauty is the best, which is bullshit because i have to wear make-up and you can see her fake tits from a mile away but whatever i guess. She's tried so hard of making me the pretty perfect girl now that she can't be the gorgeus one i swear to god. I mean from six too...thirteen? I was doing pagents then she took me out for some reason,im not completly sure to be honest but thoose pagents where shit anyways.

"Upcoming announcment from downstairs "Chloe!! Breakfast!"" I look over at my alexa, is my mum too lazy to walk up a few flight of stairs she has to use Amazon Alexa announcements really?

"Alexa, send announcment to kitchen alexa"

"Sending announcemnt to, kitchen alexa, what would you like to say?"

"Coming give me a second!"

"Announcment sent."

I turn back to the mirror and do the last curl of my hair, good enough. I hope. Luckly i done all my makeup before so i can get down soon, i hope its not much i really dont feel like eating today.  I grab my phone and look down at the homescreen, 50 notifications but one specfically stands out.


FrenchFry: Are you coming in today or are you still moping about the break up with Jason.

I laugh slightly and type back.

Ur_Valentine: Yessir, can't escape me mad 😘 

FrenchFry: Unfortunatlly,well we have our science project set today and we have to work with whoever sits next to us so,see you then 😋

Ur_Valentine: Yep, see you then 😁💄🐾

*This User has gone offline*

I smile and put my phone back into my jacket pocket, i dont even know what we're doing in science but if i dont  get an A im fucked. 

As i walk down the few sets of stairs (God why did the writer give me the sterotypical big rich kid house man. Oh wait fourth wall, my bad you ignore that.) i look at the cabinet of tropheys and ribbons, pagents,debate club (I had to join that, there was no debate there.), homecoming queen, cheerleading, etc. I've been in quite a few clubs, not nearly as many as jake though. Just the stuff thats for popular kids and keeps you cool. Eventually,i reach the kitchen and sit down looking at my plate. She made me a salad? A) that is not a breakfast thing i want B) i am REALLY not hungry. I pick up the fork and twirl it around picking at random bits of food.

"There you are Chloe, took you long enough. Now i found a ad for a photoshoot thing going on on thursday and i have signed you up!"

I look over at her raising an eyebrow.

"The Magazine one? Isn't dad the photographer for that?"

She glared at me and i turn back around to look down at my plate.

"Sorry."

"Your father is not to be brought up like this young lady, anyways you will have to get up early, and try eat all your food we cant have you too skinny now can we,that would be ugly." 

With that she got up and left, i rolled my eyes and instinally grabbed my plate and scraped all the food into the trash. Then grabbed a diet bar from the side,if i didn't bring something in to eat Jake would be on my ass all day (not litreally) and no way im dealing with that. 

Before i leave for school i make sure to check my timetable, Two lessons sat next to Jason. Oh lord, after him cheating on me last week im really not ready for this, that manipulative whore. Well, you've got to do what you've got to do.

UH I WANT TO POST THIS BUT IVE GOT TO HAVE LIKE..A BREAK FOR A FEW HOURS SO I WILL POST A PART TWO TO THIS CHAPTER LATER!

-----Chloes pov, third person----


Chloe slumped down on the cold seat feeling the eyes glare at the back of her head, or course Jason was behind her, why wouldn't he be. Oh my god boys are everywhere you dont want them arent they. She looked to her side as she saw someone sit next to her, madeline. Chloe amired madeline, she had gorgeus hair, black and wavy yet short. She couldn’t belive that none of Madeline’s past relationships worked, like she would die to be with her…platonically of course Chloe dosent swing that way. 

Well, she thinks so. 

Two months ago Jake had come out to her as pansexual, she never had really thought about liking both until then. She stayed up all night looking up about pride, though she’d refuse to admit it, bisexuality ,pansexuality and more. The more she thought about it the more she realised that, she never really enjoyed her past relationships, but surely that was just the people not the fact they’re all boys? She had never really thought of dating a girl before then but it was..appealing.

As for dating Madeline well, she certainly wouldn’t complain. Madeline brought her so much joy it was hard to describe, she loves her so much she’s her person. Every time Madeline texted her even if it was just a stupid meme she felt like she was flying, Madeline could not have her long black hair and her gorgeous eyes and she’d still be Madeline, the funny amazing person. She thought about Madeline so much it was pathetic. Everything important to Chloe was second, behind Madeline. Behind making Madeline happy.

but that was all platonic right!

"Miss Valentine, I see you have written nothing down, not even a date. I'm guessing you won't be able to repeat to us what I just said."

Chloe jumped and turned to face Mrs Gill, oh fuck. She quickly picked up her pen and looked down at her paper.

"Sorry Mrs."

"As I was SAYING, we have a test on Friday so its best you write this down, a chromosome is-"

Chloe sighed as she got to writing down the date and title, how long had she been not paying attention? Though she got lost in her track of thought as she heard Madeline giggle from next to her, that gorgeus, infectious smile.

"Chloe how DaRe YoU not pay attention!" Chloe rolled her eyes at Madelines impression of the teacher.

"Yeah how dare I, I will not do it agai-"

"Miss Valentine, Mrs Odrein back to work" 

They both said sorry in sync, then went back to copying down what the teacher said,though it all flew past Chloes head,all she could think about was Madeline.

"Oi, Valentine."

Chloe turned around and sighed, really?

"What Jason."

"Meet me in the janitors closet at lunch" Jason whisperd winking at her, Chloe had to hold back the urge to physically gag and made a mental note to gag later when explaining the entire thing to Rich, as she does.

"Ew..no go ask your buddy that." Chloe DEFFINTLY wasn't going to make out with him now they broke up but, she didn't enjoy it that much anyways. [He was a shit kisser]

"Come on I make out with the homies ONCE and you can't let it go"

"I made out with you once and you couldn't let it go,you keep crawling back" Chloe winked and smirked even more as she heard Madeline giggle from next to her.

"UGH! Your such a brat."

"Yeah sure don't act like your not a bitch either" Chloe rolled her eyes and turned back around to continue her work.

"Hey didn't that Jacket used to be baggy on you? Wow someone gained a few pounds."

Chloe froze and looked down, It was still baggy? She hadn't gained weight right? Infact she was pretty sure she was loosing it. Her mom said so, though her mom also said she needed to loose more and that the doctors lied about Chloes OCD so, she could be lying. But she couldn't have gained weight? She went on all the diets, she done all the exercise she had a modeling session next week for Christs sake how could she do this! She tried to hold back any sign of her distress, breaking down in class? Not cool. Worrying about someone said to you? Not cool. Not perfect.

Not Perfect.
