He went crazy, trying to get it out!"
"What do you mean trying to get it out........." Jeremy whispered worryingly, staring at Michael very seriously. Michael was finally glad he was listening him, he had a chance to help Jeremy before it was too late.
"That squip shit was taking control of him!," Michael shouted " He said that his brother kept trying to give a squip pill to him! Even going as far to sneaking it to his food! That's when he was sure tha-that thing wasn't his brother anymore!
"His squip was probably defective or something! T-T-That has nothing to do with me!" Jeremy stuttered out. Suddenly his eyes went wide as he flinched, waiting for something to happen to him when he stuttered.
Now Michael wasn't a master detective but even he knew that was not something normal. Now that he thinks about it Michael hasn't heard Jeremy stutter since he became to cool for him. And his back seemed more straighter........
He narrowed his eyes at Jeremy," What did you just do?" He asked hotly looking at Jeremy who's face was turning white than Michael thought possible.
"Nothing!" Jeremy quickly denied, slowly moving towards the door ; not looking at Michael
Michael stood in front of the door, blocking Jeremy. Thank god, he was more bulkier than Jeremy. His body covered the door as he defensively argued,
"I just saw you! When you stuttered you flinched!"
"No I didn't" Jeremy squeaked trying to move past Michael. But Michael wasn't letting him go that easily.
"You see what that Tick Tac is doing to you! I don't think getting rid of your personality is worth getting laid by the school bitch!" Michael growled, crossing his arms.
"I finally have some friends and a girlfriend! The squip is helping me!" Jeremy replied still trying to move past Michael. He tried shoving Michael out of the way but Michael held his guard.
Michael felt something burning in his chest. He couldn't believe Jeremy was actually saying. "What about me." Michael asked breathlessly.
"I've been for all your life! I helped you when your life was so shitty. When you mom left I was there while your deadbeat dad didn't do shit! Does that mean nothing to you!" Michael growled, narrowing his eyes.
"Well sorry to disappoint but maybe I don't wanna die a fucking virgin. I finally have a life!" Jeremy breathed sarcastically, but his eyes closed.
"Fine! Go! Have fun with your wonderful life!" Michael bitterly yelled as he moved from the door, allowing Jeremy to exit.
"Fine by me!" Jeremy shouted back tears stinging his eyes. Jeremy walked out of the restroom with Michael staring him down. Michael was half hoping Jeremy would just stay but
Jeremy continued walking out. Fine by him! He didn't need Jeremy fucking Heere.
Michael shut his eyes bitterly as he heard the door slam sharply behind his back.
He was breathing heavily opening his fists he didn't even know he had clenched.
This was not how he wanted this conversation to go. But he can't really be mad at Jeremy,(Even though he was acting like the world's biggest jerk) It was still the Tic Tak that was influencing him.
There was still a chance that the REAL Jeremy was in that asshole. And maybe that Jeremy was still fighting.
But, at least he gave Jeremy something to think about so he had a slim chance that maybe just maybe, Jeremy would turn it off.
Meanwhile Michael was gonna do some more research. What's NOT on the internet right?
