I got home the next day and Donna made Mikey stay home from school with me. It was to make sure I didn't do something reckless.
I was sprawled on the couch in the basement playing Assassins' Creed 3. Mikey was playing some bass. I chuckled to myself as I squinted at the subtitles on the screen.
"I can't do this." Mikey said, he set his bass down and frowned. I paused the game and looked at him.
"Can't do what?" I asked.
"Keep calm! Normally I can by playing, but I can't. I have so much on my mind!" Mikey answered. I picked at a loose strand of gauze around my wrist. Mikey collapsed on the couch beside me. "I'm scared I'll come home to find you dead." Mikey whispered.
"I'm not going anywhere." I said. I hugged him tightly and he kissed my cheek. "Everything will be okay." I whispered.
