Summary
There is a silence between us. His eyes are wide and shocked. My heart is beating out of my chest and I’m honestly surprised I’m not a shaking, sweaty mess.
He smiles and looks down at the flowers. It’s an odd smile that makes my pulse stop and my soul feel light.

“Will, it’s me, Mike?” A hurt smile pressed at his lips.
“I know your name, we have maths together,” I rub the nape of my neck with my open hand. “I just don’t think I’ve met you before this. Don’t get me wrong, you seem like a great guy! We just don’t know each other. Also,” The words are added quietly. I wish they weren’t true. “I have a boyfriend, and as great as a guy you are I love him.”

Summary
I barely nod, and he backs up to allow me to move to my bed. I feel like I need to take another shower. Viciously scrub at the areas he’s touched until the skin rips away from my body. Then he wouldn’t have touched me. Then I would be okay again.
Buried under blankets, I lie staring at the wall. Every time I feel my eyes begin to close, my nerves pry them back open again. Part of me feels like I should cry, but my eyes refuse to wet. It’s odd really.

”I know.”

Summary
The sight was sickening. Will was laying unconscious on the floor with blood coming out of mouth and nose. His face was red and scuffed up pretty bad.
I saw red.
Without thinking, I rush into the room and pry the other guy off of Will. When I turn him around and raise my fist, about to punch the fucker, I see a familiar face. Will’s boyfriend, Tyler Graham.

”Remember wh-what ha-happened? Wha-“

New visitors? “Can you tell me who? Please, there’s just someone I really don’t think I want to see yet.”
She holds a finger up and looks at a clipboard left on the desk. Her eyebrow raises and she gives me an odd half smile. “Whoever it was just wrote down ‘Mad Max’ and ‘Ranger’. Any clue what that means?”

Mid-afternoon and there’s another knock at the door. I wait for some form of identification, anything, but nothing comes. Maybe an odd gesture? Is he planning on surprising me or something?
”Michael, is that you?”
Silence.
