Mikey/5sos chapter today whoooo! Hope yall enjoy the edit I made up above ^^ for todays chapter! I spent like an hour and a half making it.

"When I close my eyes and try to sleep, I fall apart and find it hard to breathe. The only reason, the only reason! And now my dizzy head is numb, I swear my heart is never giving up. The only reason the only reason."

-The Only Reason

-

A loud, painful, thumping in his head caused the nineteen year old to wake up. Letting out a soft groan as a light shone through his bedroom window and into his face. He fluttered his eyes, trying to get rid of the morning blur, as he felt like he had just came home after being drunk.

Just without the barfing and hangover.

His head hurt like elephants had troppled over him, he remembered recently falling off his bed, and that was it.

Ashton woke up, he was sleeping on the office chair in Michael's room he saw the boy rubbing his eyes and wincing when he touched the gash on his head.

"Mike? Dude what happened? We woke up at 3AM a couple nights ago to you on the floor and bleeding!" Ashton asked, he was the only one here other than Michael since Michael has been passed out for a couple days and he insisted on taking care of the younger lad.

"I...I just couldn't sleep that night, so I went on Instagram or some shit and ended up trying to roll on my back and after that I guess thats where you three came in. Where are the others anyway?"

"Michael, you were passed out for 3 days. They're with their families right now."

"Oh....then how come you stayed?"

"Because, I wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Okay, thanks Ash...lets go get some Maccas yeah?"

"Okay, just let me inform the boys that you're awake." and so he pulled out his phone, made a group chat with Calum and Luke, and told them Michael was up.

Then they headed to Maccas, yes, still in their pajamas and bed heads.

They didn't really care about their appearance at the moment, the song Hold Me Down by Halsey was playing throughout Maccas.

Michael and Ashton didn't really know the artist, but they enjoyed the music. They went to the line, wasn't too big. There was only about four people infront of them. Michael seemed to be focusing on the music more than the line.

I sold my soul to a three peice, and he told me
I was holy, he's got me down on both knees
But its the devil thats trying to:

Hold me down,
Hold me down,

Sneaking out the back door, make no sounds,
Knock me out, lock me out, saying that
I want more this is what I live for

Hold me down,
Hold me down,

Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
Knock me out, lock me out, saying that
I want more this is what I live for.

"Mike?" Ashton snapped his fingers infront of Michaels face, making the younger boy jump.

"Y-Yeah? What? Sorry, just go distracted."

"By what? The air?"

"N-No the song..."

"Michael, are you okay? You seem all gittery.." Ashton asked his friend in concern, noticing Michael was getting a bit nervous.

"I'm fine."

He lied, straight through his teeth. He wasn't fine, but he didn't want to bother Ashton. He wasn't sure why he wasn't fine, but he just knows he isn't for dome reason.

Like not being able to sleep until almost four in the morning, focused on songs rather than whats going on around him, snapping at his best friends at random moments.

He didn't know what it was, but he just felt tired.

They got their Maccas after about five minutes of waiting, and ate up. Michael got a breakfast plate and Ashton got a egg and sausage, with a side of bacon, breakfast sandwhich.

They got a booth, and ate in silence.

Michael played on his phone while he ate, and soon finishing and waiting for Ashton to finish his. So he watched Pewdiepie for what seemed like forever before they left.

They ended up stopping by Calum's house, and hanging out at his place since Luke had to spend time with family for a while. They played some Call Of Duty and while doing so Ashton kept yelling at Michael to stop swearing at the TV screen.

Which, he didn't, so Calum was a laughing mess as Ashton snatched the controller away from Michael and threatened he'd throw it out a windoe if he didn't stop swearing.

Ashton ended up throwing it out the window and Calum yelled at him to go get it since it was his controller.

"Why am I friends with you idiots?" Michael asked.

"Because if you didn't then you'd be lonely." Calum chuckled, Michael simply nodded in agreement as they started killing Ashtons character repeatedly until he came back.

Then it just turned into a repeaditive cycle of stupidness and them spamming Luke's phone until 5PM.

So Luke had some killing to do the next time he saw his bandmates.

Michael decided to go home around 7, Ashton insisted of going with him but he kindly declined and went home by himself. He shouldn't of, though.

Because now he was all alone, in a quiet house, in his dark room, with nothing but the computer screen making light in the room and he was blocking everything aroun him out of the way and focused on his computer screen.

So, he didn't notice that his Mom came home, or that the smell of food was being made, or that his phone was having a seizure right next to him.

He was watching horror stories on YouTube and writing down the main problems then trying to form that into some inspiration for a Halloween song, since Halloween was just righ around the corner.

But later that night, he was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling, and he was thinking again. Thinking and thinking.

All because he just couldn't sleep, and soon he was so overwhelmed with thoughts his breathing increased.

Until soon enough, he just passed out, but he didn't know what was happening to where he couldn't sleep. He didn't know how dangerous that was either...
