Flashback

Blackness. That's all he seen. Until now when he opened his eyes and was met with a dull white light.

He looked around and saw he was in the operation room. Doctors were cleaning up and they looked as if they just failed

"Hello?" Michael asked softly one doctor got so startled and dropped a bunch of equipment and turned to look at michael

"Oh my god! Mr. Clifford just stay calm and I'll let your friends know you woke up. Th--"

"No! Just uh don't tell them I'm alive" michael whispered

"I can't do that. I'm telling your friends. They have been here everyd--"

"I know! I heard them. Please just do something. I can't take all that anymore. It's time for them to move on and me too" michael said and the doctor looked very hesitant but nodded

"I'll have you put in one of the private rooms down the hall. In a few days you can leave"

"Thank you so much"

Present

Ashton glared at Michael as he ended the explanation.

"How could you fucking do that?!" Ashton spat while standing up

"You don't understand I wa--"

"Oh no I understand! You put your friends through absolute hell, while you're out getting tattoos and piercings! Oh and 'moving on' you're such shit. I don't even know why I came all the way over here!" Ashton growled while picking up his bag and walking to the door but stopping

"Ya know Luke is here right?" Ashton asked and michael nodded and Ashton scoffed

"Wow. Do you know the shit you put him through?" Ashton asked angrily and michael looked down at his lap.

"Pathetic Michael. What you did was pathet--"

"I was scared Ashton! I was terrified! I didn't want to do this! I didn't want to just ignore my best friends and boyfriend!" Michael screamed and Ashton calmed down a little

"Why were you scared?" Ashton asked calmly

"Because, I was scared of Luke!" Michael confessed. Ashton sighed while looking around and dropping his bag

"Why?"

"He hit me Ashton! After he promised he wouldn't!" Michael shouted tears brimming at his eyes

Ashtons phone started ringing and he sighed while answering it

"Yea?"

"Ashton it's uh Luke"

Ashton looked up at Michael who was looking back at him

"Oh hey Luke. What's up?" Michaels eyes widened

"I have this friend and I was wondering maybe us three can go to the pub tonight. He's been helping a lot with everything"

"Yea man that sounds good"

"Alright I'll call him now" Luke ended the call. Ashton put his phone back in his pocket

"Look Luke, me and some guy are going out tonight may--"

"Uh yea sorry-- no yea right-- I've been really busy-- yes I'll go tonight-- I'll be at your house at like 7-- yea can't wait to meet him-- alright bye" michael ended the call and slowly looked at Ashton
