Jaime's POV~

I heard screaming and crying, and a word I'd hoped I'd never hear from Mike; Goodbye. I'd gone to check on Mike and make sure he was alright after the door slammed, but the sight that greeted me assured me that he wasn't.

I had started a sentence, but stopped when I saw him. Mike was standing in a river of scalding water, and I watched as his skin blistered up under the heat. I rushed over and cut off the water, getting a minor burn on my arm in the process. I pulled Mike out of the shower, wrapping him in a towel. He seemed out of it. I lightly grabbed his wrist and dragged him toward the bedroom, but once we got to the doorway he stopped.

"Tony...left me....I'm not going back in that room....I don't think he's coming back....I will only go back in that room if my love comes back for me..." he whispered, clearly spaced out. I sighed and released his wrist. I walked into the room and grabbed a pair of boxers, then returned to Mike. "Put these on at least," I said, handing the dazed boy the boxers I was holding.

He slowly slid them on, and walked into the living room, plopping down on the couch and staring blankly at the wall where the TV would be installed tomorrow. I watched him sit there in silence for five minutes, then turned and walked to mine and Vic's bedroom. I hesitated before crawling into the warm bed. I decided that Mike would be more together, and better able to talk about tonight's events, tomorrow. I laid down next to Vic and as soon as my head hit the soft pillow, I was out.

Tony's POV~

I can't believe I just did that. I just left the man I'd been pining for for years, because of a stupid nightmare. And to come and rescue me, I called Austin of all people. "Hey bro, what's going on?" Austin asked, as I climbed into the passenger seat of his truck.

"I...just..broke up with Mike," I whispered, letting the words sink in. "You what?!" Austin asked, killing the engine. I shook my head and a few tears slid down my face. I can't believe I did it. I left the love of my life because of a dream, and he was definitely pissed off when I left. He probably hates me now, he probably never wants to see me again. I'm such a fuck up. I was so furious with myself. How could I let some stupid fucking dream come between my boyfriend and I?

"I left him. And I can never come back, he'll never want me to. He was so mad, he probably never wants to see me again. I don't want to see me again. Austin, do the universe a favor and drop me off on a street corner somewhere close to a bar. I want to forget all of this shit," I said. Austin sighed, but didn't budge.

"Tone, I can tell you right now that Mike definitely wants to see you again. That man in there is head over heels for you, and to be honest, even though you probably just ripped his heart in half, he'd let you sew it back up. You two belong together," he tried. I turned to look at him, wiping the tears from my face.

"No, Austin. I can't ever go back in there with him. He hates me now, and he has every right to. I don't want to have to see what I caused him. I don't want to see what happened after I left," I blurted. That's the real reason I don't want to go back. I know he wants me to come back. But I don't want to know what he's done because of me. I don't want to see the blood and the tears and the pain that I caused when I left. I want to, but I don't.

I can't do anything right. I love Mike so much, but I left him anyways for selfish reasons. Oh God, what have I done to him? What have I done to us?
