*trigger warning!*

"good morning. today is a yellow day. lunch today is chicken nuggets. we regret to inform you that last night, our student michael clifford died."

my hands tighten around my desk and i feel my face go white. i hear multiple gasps. i just let out a choked sound. as the announcements continue, i continue to let out sounds similar to the one i have made.

people stand for the pledge, but i am frozen in my chair. how can they just go on with announcements like that? michael died. michael died. the reality hits me. i let out a sob and everyone who wasn't already looking at me is now.

i cross my arms on my desk and cry into them, not giving a damn how loud i am. it becomes realer by the second. micheal died. michael is gone. i will never see his smiling face again, nor hear his cute little laugh. my best friend and boyfriend died.

i shove my chair back and stand up extremely quickly. i take a few staggered breaths. i'm being watched by the entire class as i stumble towards the door, wiping my free-falling tears.

mrs carr walks up to me as i reach the door.

"luke! where are you going?" i attempt to say 'away from here' but it just comes out as unintelligible mumbles. i start walking when she calls out to me again.

"you can't just leave during a class! look i know this is traumatic but-" this bitch. i turn on my heel to shout at her.

"my boyfriend committed suicide!" the room goes silent. nobody knew we were dating. nobody knew he was depressed. i don't even know if that's what happened, but i have a hunch that it is. more than a hunch. i'm practically sure it is.

"and i- i couldn't stop him." i continue, my voice wavering dangerously. oh god. he seemed sad earlier yesterday, why the fuck didn't i text him to make sure he was okay?

we usually text all the time after school, but i was a dumbfuck and didn't once message him. it should've been a sign. i just thought it was ons of those 'the other one is gonna text first' situations that end up with neither one texting.

i drop to the ground on my knees, crying into my hands. "it's all my fault." i sob. "it's all my fault." i repeat, a but louder. "it's all my fault!" i wail.

"luke-" mrs. carr says, cautiously walking over to me. nervous glances are exchanged amongst my classmates.

"shut the fuck up!" i scream. she winced, aghast. i don't even care if i get a detention. i don't care about anything except for the fact that my boyfriend is no longer breathing.

i push myself up off the floor and run. i run out of the classroom, down the hall, and out the main door.

"hey!" i hear the principal shout. i don't fucking care. i continue to run. i don't stop running until i reach my house.

"luke?" jack asks woriedly when i stumble into the house, tear streaks on my face. "what are you doing home? are you alright?"

"yeah, jack. just peachy keen. boyfriend died, no biggy! just here cause i forgot my fucking cupcakes filled with sunshine!" i say, glaring at him.

"michael died?" he asks in a hushed whisper. i start to nod, but break down crying again. he walks over to me and envelops me in his arms. it's nice, only... i wish they were mikey's.
