(this chapter will be hella wholesome.)

POINT OF VIEW: MICHAEL

I felt myself feel less tense each time she smiled at me, the cold air hits my face once I take off my mask. Her expression on her face changed instantly ... maybe she's judging me?- no she's not like that.... suddenly her small hand cupped my cheek. My puffy red eyes were begging to let the tears drop yet I knew showing this side would only make me weak. But it feels right? maybe I can keep her... she's different. She treats me with such kindness...

Her E/C eyes sparkled with curiosity I can't tell if I should be creeped out or honored. I gently put her hand down until she realized what she was doing. Her face flushed red for some odd reason, she jumped up and nervously giggled. She swiftly moved her H/C hair strands behind her ear before she could sit back right down.

She makes me feel so strange, I don't know her very well but she's not like anyone else I've met in this perishing world. The voices in my head fade out each time she opens her mouth to speak, the heavy tension in my chest grows bigger. As much as I want to just kill her and leave, something in me prevents me from doing so... her glossy E/C eyes... her soft skin... her voice... her smile. Y/N... Y/N... oh how is this happening?... and why is this happening?... her features are just so perfect.

"Oh! I forgot something! I ended up buying something from the grocery store! come follow me" she smiled joyfully. Her small hands gripped on mine, dragging me towards the kitchen. Y/N lets go of my hand before looking around in a suspicious way. I didn't even realize I left my mask in her bedroom... It feels weird not having it on. I only wear it to mask my expressions. I guess I can consider it as some sort of comfort thing... I snapped out of my thoughts when she grinned in an excited manner.

"Okay close your eyes!!!... close them!" she jumped up and down while backing up,

I make a quiet sigh before closing my eyes, I heard some shuffling and cabinets opening before she let out a quiet gasp. She giggled slightly and made her way back to me, I dared not to peak... what is she going to show me? is it bad or good...

"Alrighty! you can open them!" she squealed- I slowly open to see her holding a bag of candies... all different types.. how did she know Im a sweet tooth?... I haven't had candy since the day of Halloween where everything happened. My head tilted in a puzzled way wondering if this is some sort of gift for me. She opens it and physically leaned it towards me to take some- I hesitantly grabbed one. It was a kitcat- I remember eating these every day after school while watching TV.

I looked at her with a bit of sorrow in my eyes, this feels so nostalgic and melancholy- I slowly open the kitcat and pop it into my mouth. The chocolate melted in my mouth as the crunchy part made my mouth spark with joy.

My straight face slowly went into a smile before finishing up the chocolate. I look at her but soon I realize she was staring at me like an amazed puppy. She giggled and grabbed the bag of candy before leading me to the living room. She jumped on it and snuggled into one of the pillows, I stiffly sit down right next to her as I dig my hand into the candy bag once again. I have forgotten how good candies are. I saw a blank notebook right by the living room table, I grab it and take out one of the pens in my pockets.

I showed her the notebook before stuffing another candy in my mouth, she smiled and nodded- I begin writing again thinking of what question I can ask her.

"Oh you mean F/N? yeah she's one of my best friends, the funny thing is that she actually believed my lie. She can be so funny!" she giggled while swirling the lollipop she had in her mouth, I raised a brow wondering what she meant.

"When you suddenly popped out F/N asked who you were and the only thing I could come up with is that you were my boyfriend! she actually believed it too- " she laughed once more and wiped the tears from her eyes from laughing so hard. Me as her boyfriend?.... weird. Another question popped into my head, I began to write and erased some misspellings before showing her the notebook.

She gave out a sad sigh and looked away for some seconds,

"Uhm... well..." she rubbed the temple of her nose- her eyes began to get a bit more glossy. Oh, did I upset her?-

"He... well- things...didn't work between us. I actually really liked him too you know! but some things don't last I guess. He got bored of me and decided it was best to go to some other woman who... was way prettier and stuff." Y/N said in a very dejected tone, how could someone do that to her? she's very kind and pretty yet some male decides to replace her with some whore.

"His name was Uhm... (Ex's Name and Last Name)- he was a horrible partner to me, to be honest. I wasted a lot of my time with him." she showed me her phone- it was pictures of her and some scruffy-looking man....

She scrolled through more pictures before showing me one, I didn't pay attention to them and only the address of the house in the back of them. does she not realize that she's giving me enough info to end this man? I think she forgot about my murderous tendencies, how pathetic.. It makes me upset knowing some man decides to break this poor girl's heart, she's very nice despite how naive she can be. What should I say to her?? I don't know how to handle situations where a girl is literally upset about some man. I picked up the notebook and wrote with a bit of aggression since the pen was running out of ink.

Did that sound creepy? did it sound weird?? why is it so hard for me to compliment her... she looked up at me and smiled innocently before wrapping her small arms around me. I grunt in surprise- what is she even doing??

"Thank you! your kind-hearted too!" she giggled and hugged me a bit tighter, my hands slowly wrap around her waist- was this a hug?... why is she hugging me...

"oh sorry I forgot-" she attempted to pull away but I held her tighter, she feels so warm... so small in my arms... I feel safe. Some minutes pass by until she started to gasp for air, I instantly let go of her and look at her with a concerned look. She felt so small in my arms...

"You have a very uhm tight grip! you surprisingly give good hugs though, Mikey." she smiled in a joyful way, Was I crushing her on accident??...

"Don't worry you weren't hurting me- I wasn't expecting you to hug back, you haven't gotten a hug in a long time huh?.." Y/N tilted her head in a curious way- her E/C glossy orbs filled with wonders- I nod my head in agreement- she felt so... perfect in my arms. It felt right for her to be wrapped around me.

Do I deserve this much kindness?... shes such a sweet girl- so precious and warm. I cupped her cheek with my hand slowly, her eyes connected with mine-... why do I feel so connected all of a sudden?? why does this feel so right... Her face got closer to mine deliberately. Out of the blue, the doorbell rang making me jump. I get up and grab my knife- who the hell would interrupt us? why now?... She shook her head and put a finger up to her lips trying to shush me. I shrug and hide near a shadowed corner. She walks towards the door and opens it only to reveal Loomis. I grip on my knife tightly- why was he here...

"Y/N you need to get out of the house... Michael is near here- I feel it." Loomis spoke with a salty tone towards Y/N.

"N-no I don't think he's here Loomis... I was going to go to bed so I would appreciate it if you leave." she tried to push him towards the door but he instantly locks eye contact with me as I stood behind Y/N. Her eyes widen as soon as she sees Loomis pull out his gun.

Here we go again.

_end of his point of view_

Loomis shoved you towards the wall making you stumble and hit the floor, that made Michael even angrier as he tried to go towards you to help you. He attempted to step towards you but Loomis shot him right in the chest. Your eyes widen- seeing Michael step back and hold his chest. You screamed and strived towards him but got pulled away from him by Loomis, He swung open the door and dragged you away from him.

"Let me go, Loomis!!! Please!!!" you attempted to get out of his grasp but he held you tighter.

"He is dangerous Y/N!!! Stop fighting me! you'll get us both killed!" Loomis slapped you harshly- Michael growled and grabbed his mask quickly before racing towards you two. Seeing you get hurt was worse than him getting shot. He didn't feel pain at all... only anger. You reached out for Michael but Loomis shoved you into the car. Tears ran down your face and you felt your head spinning. Loomis pointed the gun directly at Michael. You screamed more loudly trying to beg for Loomis not to hurt him. Loomis shook his head and shot Michael once more... wasting all the bullets. Michael slowly fell to the ground-

"He's not dead yet..." he whispered under his breath but you didn't hear- it felt like your world collapsed though. Your salty tears running down your cheeks- your sweaty palms... your soft sobs filled the car. He rushed into the car and drove away with you in it. You screamed and attempted to get out of the car but nothing happened.

"I know exactly what's going on..." Loomis chuckled deeply making you whimper.

"The shape has a little pet now. And I know exactly what to do to lure him in." Loomis said with venom in his tone...
