A/N: Three days, three updates, what? I'm bored. This chap. Is probably going to be a little choppy, I didn't want the age-skip this soon but, I didn't have anymore ideas…Changing the subject, I love you guys so much! The other day, not ten minutes after I posted chapter 12, I had like 5 reviews. THANK YOU! I have a new goal; the highest amount of reviews on the archive is like 95 or something, if I get 100 reviews before Halloween, I will make the sequel really juicy. Oh, and just to solve all confusion this may cause, there is an age skip, you can tell how many years can't you, after all, I think you all have passed the second/third grade.
Chapter 13
Michael's POV
Time flew past, not that I care, since I have my Lynn with me. She rolled over, her hazel eyes immediately finding mine "Happy nineteenth," I said to my beautiful fiancée, brushing a stray piece of her silky black hair out of her face. She smiled. Although I don't know when we will be able to get married, but the day she said yes was the best day of my entire life, other than the day I met her. I can't believe Lynn's already nineteen, it feels like just yesterday I was barely sixteen and popping the question to her in the courtyard. There was a knock at the door, Lynn leaped up, separating from me to avoid being discovered, Dr. Loomis entered.
"Well Lynn, although I haven't found much progress with you, I am glad to say that you are well enough to leave Smith's Grove and return to the real world," he announced. "You will be released in tomorrow, the judge's orders." He seemed pretty happy, too happy if you ask me. This was bad; it was the last day for who knows how long that I would see my girl.
"Well, um, this sucks," I said, summing up our depressing situation. I found Lynn's tear filled eyes giving me a look of agreement. I went over and put my arm around her, I said nothing, just rubbing her back gently.
"What are we going to do?" she sobbed.
"I don't know, but I promise we'll be fine." Lynn nodded. "Just relax here, I'm going to go tell Andromeda something," I ended, slipping out into the hall. I went down to Andromeda's room, taking the liberty to just walk on in.
"Andromeda, we have a problem," I said, he raised an eyebrow. "Lynn's leaving tomorrow," I could tell he wasn't very happy either; Lynn was like a baby sister to him. She treated him like an older brother, and he protected her like she truly was his little sister, her leaving would hurt him pretty bad too, but it would never compare to the deep cut it would leave on me.
"Um, okay, one this sucks. Two, how long until you get out?" he asked.
"Probably never, Loomis hates me. I guess proposing was just stupid, I'll never marry her, she's leaving tomorrow. What made me think I could possibly get out of here to get hitched—,"
"I have an idea." He cut in. "It won't be official or anything since I'm no preacher, but how 'bout we throw you two a little wedding so it's like you're already married, then, after your trial, we'll go get Lynn and you guys can get married for real." I liked Andromeda's suggestion, I'd get to be with Lynn and I think it would make her happy.
3 hours later…Lynn's POV
Andromeda came up with the most brilliant idea yet. Since I'm leaving tomorrow, Michael and I are having a fake wedding in like ten minutes. Right now, Kari is trying to make me look somewhat presentable. I'm wearing the same dress I wore to the dance with Michael forever ago (surprisingly, it fits better now than ever.) It used to be so long, now it's like a fringed-bottom cocktail dress. Michael tried to come in twice, but Kari kept protesting with that 'it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding' argument. God, it's not even officially a wedding! It won't be official, let me see my damn fiancée, I don't have much time left! I thought to myself as Kari pulled my head this way and that attempting to do something with my pin-straight hair and keeping Michael out al at the same time. I started dozing off in my boredom, it was sweet what she was doing, but my butt was numb from sitting there for a whole two hours as she fixed this and that.
"And done!" she announced, grinning at her work while tossing me a mirror. As I looked, my jaw dropped. It was as if I was staring at a whole different person, the girl in the mirror was way too pretty to be me.
"Are you ready yet?" Michael exasperatedly called from the hall. Kari opened the door; Michael gave a low whistle as she did so. His obsidian eyes seemed glued to me, never wanting to let me go. Andromeda entered slowly. Michael came to stand beside me "you look beautiful," he whispered.
"Okay, I'm no preacher so I don't know the whole big wedding speech, so I'm just going to do this my way. Michael, do you love Lynn? Are you sure about marrying her?" said Andromeda.
"More than anything in the world, I do," Michael replied. I felt a blush burning in my cheeks.
"Lynn, same question,"
"Oh hell yeah," I said.
"Good. Mike, you may kiss the fiancée/bride." He finished, Michael pulled me close, kissing me fiercely. I heard Andromeda give a few cat-calls. The kiss was the best ever, so passionate. Probably because now I knew for sure that I would be Michael's truest of true loves, forever. When we finally broke apart, Michael had a really cocky grin on his face.
"We all know the best part after the wedding for the couple," he said nudging me. I got what he was after, and I'd let him have what he wanted too. Andromeda's jaw dropped.
"Can you two at least wait until after dinner, it's my little sis's last night here, I want to spend as much time with her as I can before you get all—you know," said Andromeda.
"Fine," he sighed. We headed off to the cafeteria for one final time. As soon as we got food, Andromeda started a grape-war with me, Michael using his empty tray to guard me as I pelted grapes across the table. It all ended way too soon, I knew it would be too good to last. But, as we walked through the empty hall, I knew that the best part was yet too come. Michael held my door open for me as we entered the tiny room that held so many of my happiest memories, the snowfall, Michael clutching me to his chest after what happened that night with Aaron (who I plan to find and murder.) etc. Michael motioned to the bed, "Milady," he whispered, I gladly followed.
I awoke in a very comfy position, me on top of Michael, him holding me tightly against his muscular chest, his finger tracing small circles on my lower back. Suddenly, my bliss turned to sadness. After today, who knows how long it would be until we were together again? I shook off the feeling; I had to spend my last moments with him making happy memories, not any more sob stories. I glanced over at the clock and sat up, Ugh. I had to get dressed. It only took me a few minutes to get ready, but it felt like forever. Andromeda and Kari came knocking at the door soon afterward. Out of those two, I'd miss them both terribly, less than Michael, but still a lot. Out of the couple, I'd miss Andromeda the most, I'd know him since I was ten, and he was like my big brother since the moment I met him. In fact, he helped me and Michael get to the stage we were at now. I forced them to wait a few minutes until Michael was decent before throwing open the door and hugging each of them tightly.
"I'm going to miss you too Lynn," said Andromeda, returning the hug.
After ten minutes of tearful goodbyes, Dr. Loomis said it was time for me to leave. I went to Michael's side one last time; he was the one person I hadn't said goodbye to yet.
"Stay in Haddonfield, I'll come find you soon, my trial is in October, pretty long wait, but until then stay at my place, according to the nurses' gossip, it's been abandoned since I killed Judith, you know the address. Wait for me." I nodded, trying to suppress a huge sob, failing miserably.
"I love you," I managed to squeak. His response was to press his lips softly against mine. As I walked out the door, I glanced over my shoulder and waved a final farewell to my friends, and my life. I walked though the familiar halls until I reached the cab at the exit.
"Where to?" the driver asked.
"Fifty-two Lampkin Lane," I said, giving the address of my old house, I couldn't just waltz into an abandoned house without raising a few questions. I waited for the twenty mile drive in silence. When he finally pulled up to the house where I killed my evil father and aunt, I bid him farewell and waited until he drove off to walk off toward the old Myers house, I coaxed the front door open and looked around. Yeah, it was broken down and spider infested (shudder) but, it was home.
A/N: Next chapter may be all Michael. No matter what, there will be little fluff, and lots of action! Please review (oh, and next chapter Michael may break out…very likely!) oh, and thanks to Straight Edge Queen and tails blackheart for the ideas of this chapter!
