I'd Pause My Game For You (Michael x Jeremy BMC)

Chapter 24: "Mikey"

~MICHAEL POV~

It seemed as if things were going normal. I mean, as normal as they can be with a broken arm and still hospitalized. Thank GOD I was getting out the next day. I couldn't believe it had been a total week that I'd been stuck in this sterile room. At least the nurses liked me.

And thank GOD they didn't drug test me.

Jeremy couldn't come today because of rehearsal, but it was gonna be the start of President's Day Weekend tomorrow, so he was gonna pick me up after his half-day at school. I was excited to actually get out and do things again.

As I was finishing my lunch and the Oreos the nice nurse with red hair had snuck for me, I heard a low voice near the door, asking where I was. I didn't think my parents would be coming for a while, but I shrugged off the thought, thinking maybe my father got off of work early.

I was thankful he understood that I was a homosexual. As I've stated, my family is not very LGBT+ friendly and doesn't quite understand the idea of liking the same sex. I was almost surprised when he pulled me in for a hug and told me he loved me, which was probably the most affection I've ever received from him. It made me happy how he saw Dawn's situation and understood that loving whoever you wanted to love was okay.

It wasn't at all who I thought it was.

Mickie, sporting his leather jacket, walked into the room with only one of his little cultists.

I groaned to hide my outshining fear of this guy. We may have been in the same grade, but he sure as hell did frighten me. I mean, look at where I am now for god's sake.

"Hello, prince fagging." he chortled at me. He was disgusting and vile and I hated every word that came out of his mouth.

"What do you want? Shouldn't you be having a gang bang with all your little buddies?" I rolled my eyes and looked back at my phone. "All I have to do is scream, Canigula. So I'd hope you leave now and save us both the trouble."

He laughed maliciously, telling me something was up. I looked up from my phone and raised an eyebrow, showing him I wasn't kidding. He rolled his eyes and came close to me. Although I struggled and threatened again, he just went to my hand and started tugging on my IV line.

I couldn't scream. It hurt too much to exhale. I just inhaled through my teeth, making some slithering sound. The pain of feeling the IV drip line move around my hand made me uncomfortable and shot a pain right to my core.

"I don't wanna hear words, fag. I want you to listen carefully."

I nodded, wanting the pain to end so badly.

"Now I specifically remember telling you NOT to tell anyone, isn't that right, Chase?" He looked over to his friend.

"Yeah, Micks," was all the kid could mutter.

"And the fact that my sister came up to me and asked me, and I'm quoting here, 'what the fuck did you do to Michael Mell?' doesn't really mean that you kept your cock-sucking mouth shut, doesn't it?"

I bit the inside of my cheek. Honestly, I couldn't remember what he said after all of his goons got off of me. My ears were ringing too loudly from all the swings my face and body took. I'm pretty sure I can't have kids if I tried because of it.

"Well, now because of your slip up, now my reputation is at risk. And don't THINK for a minute you're not gonna face the repercussions." He smirked at me, pinching my cheek harshly like some pissed off grandma.

I squirmed at his grasp. "You have three seconds to stop touching me and leave my room before I scream bloody murder."

He sighs. "You're such a queer, Mikey." He says as he leaves the room, slamming the big, blocky door behind him, creating a large thud.

Once I know I'm alone, I begin to sob. I can't do this anymore. Is this even worth it? Why am I going through all this torment just for a boy? I don't deserve this just for being in love, right? This makes no sense.

I just wanted to be happy with Jeremy. It's what I've wanted for so long, and now that I do, I get nothing but pain and suffering.

I feel like this was a mistake.
