(okay so there is gonna be a third book and I hope it will be the last in this series. I totally am dragging another musical in. Anyways one chapter left)

“Pathetic.”

“What did you do to Jeremy?” Was all Michael asked, staring at the neon blue eyes that stared back at him, a grin on the face of his boyfriend.

“He couldn’t fight me anymore it would have K1LL3D H1M.” The Squip said, laughing a bit after saying that. Michael felt sick, this supercomputer was twisted.

“You FORCED him to give up by shocking him didn’t you?” Michael said, pushing the Squip off of him without being too harsh, it was still Jeremy’s body after all.

“What? Of course not, that only had a little to do with it.” It said, putting its pointer finger and thumb in a circle and smiling at Michael in a way that made him physically cringe.

“That...That is messed up. You’re destroying probably the best thing in this world.” Michael said, tears still falling from his face from when he thought Jeremy was dead.

“You’re one to talk. He hurt you more than any other person. That’s a pretty terrible thing don’t you think?”

“He was under a lot that night!”

“So were you, were you not? You had the stress of his friendship barely existing when you snuck into that party...You knew what you were doing. You just didn’t know the result. You could have though.”

“Don’t use your manipulation on me!”

“Think about it though. A world where nobody feels pain, there are no more wars and fights because everybody knows what could happen so they try their absolute best to avoid it. No more world hunger, diseases, none of that. The world would be shiny and happy.” The Squip said, grabbing Michael’s hands with its own(Jeremy’s really)and bringing them closer to its heart(again, Jeremy’s). “Wouldn’t that be a nice thing?”

“...I mean...Yeah it would but that can never happen. Even with you demonic supercomputer tic tacs. The world is messed up. I know that. Jeremy knows that. And with your vast knowledge you think YOU would know that.”

“You wish to see Jeremy happy, correct?”

“Y-Yeah. Why?”

“If you were to, perhaps, get your own hands on a Squip. You could both be happy. Nothing like this would ever happen 4G41N.”

“Yeah right. I’m not spending any money on something that I don’t need.” Michael said, really getting annoyed by what the Squip was saying. He knew the tricks, he wouldn’t fall for them.

“Fine. You want to be that way. I’ll make you watch Jeremy SUFF3R.” The Squip said, going over to Jeremy’s nightstand and opening the drawer to find a small pocket knife.

“W-What are you doin’ with t-that?” Michael asked and the Squip smiled, and while still controlling Jeremy’s body, but not his voice, he started cutting Jeremy’s arm. Michael realized Jeremy was actually standing in front of him now, crying in pain.

“M-Michael….H-Help me p-please…” Was all he could say before he was wincing at the constant pain in his arms, the cuts sting combined with the everlasting shock seeming to go through his body made him feel like he was dying.

“O-Okay.” Michael said, quickly finding his Mountain Dew Red bottle and running over to Jeremy.

“I-I don’t think that’s g-gonna h-help this time.” Jeremy said and Michel shoved it into his jacket and grabbed Jeremy’s knife-wielding hand. “M-Michael he’s gonna t-try to c-cut you!” Jeremy cried and Michael grabbed the pocket knife, not caring that his hand had a gash in it now. He threw it across the floor and looked back at Jeremy. The Squip was making him try to attack Michael.

Michael froze when he remembered this exact same thing happened at the play. Back then, one of the few things separating Jeremy and the Squip had been when Jeremy told Michael he was sorry.

“Jeremy, you gotta tell me you love me.”

“H-How is that g-gonna help!?”

“J-Just trust me okay.” Michael said and Jeremy nodded.

“M-Michael I-” Shock.

“C’mon Jer, fight him. Saying sorry won us over last time, saying I love you should do the trick this time.”

“Michael I l-lo-” Two shocks.

“Jeremy. I’m here, calm down please.”

“Michael I l-love y-you.” Jeremy said, feeling an immense amount of pain spread through his body. “M-M-M-Michael t-the b-b-b-bottle….t-try it now.” Jeremy said, body starting to go limp from the pain. Michael got the bottle out and got on his knees, holding Jeremy down in case the Squip tried to take over his body again.

“This is gonna hurt you more than me okay Jeremy?”

“O-O-Okay….J-Just g-g-get it o-over with.” And with that, Michael unscrewed the lid and had Jeremy drinking the drink for the third time in those last few days. His eyes flashed blue about 100 times as Michael heard the Squip scream in pain alongside Jeremy(so glad his dad wasn’t there at all am I right). Another black out….hopefully the last one.

Hopefully it was all over...for good.
