happy birthday souppy!!

esinololly

You know what .... Good choice. 😔

arjay

Big ups on mike honestly walk away

Washington BC

I think this was the right move on Mike’s part (poor kid), but oof that’s gotta be devastating to Lucy too

Yummy

I don’t blame him

Washington BC

Though I don't think Mike’s doing this for healthy reasons…maybe I’m projecting my own flaws onto him but this seems more like withdrawing from self-hatred rather than “I am choosing not to engage because it has consistently proven to lead to unhealthy outcomes for both of us”. Like I bet his mindset is more “I am so bad of a person that I will just hurt you again,” or something

SomeColourMage

what did you think was going to happen? seriously. what. the hell. did you think. was going to happen? you've convinced him he's an irredeemable monster incapable of being loved and you think he's just going to fucking talk to you? did you believe you were this willing to just hear him out this soon after December? because you weren't, you hid behind a snowman and had your hedgehog chase him away what were you going to do? apologise for justifying years of abuse over the idea you could never just say you didn't believe he was actually in love with you? just beg for comfort? why would he accept any of that? you got what you claimed you wanted, now deal with it

Fiver

Hell yeah Mike, I love you Lucy but dude does not need this right now

Washington BC

Shame. He’s ignoring her out of shame. That’s the word I’m looking for

Antares

So much sowing and reaping I love it yes thank you

Lil_Brimstone

Mike making good decisions? What year is it?

Washington BC

Saying this in a separate comment because I think it’s important: I don’t think he’s avoiding her because he’s making a healthy choice - I think it’s shame that’s behind this. He hates himself and thinks he’s just going to hurt her again. I don’t think it’s a sign of growth for him, it’s just another way to show he’s spiraling. Maybe I’m reading too much into this

SprinKah

I joined Patreon just to say, thank god Mike does this. Unsure what she or he is gonna do in the future, but I SINCERELY hope Lucy x Mike never becomes a thing, atp it's just...gross to think about, it just ain't healthy, at all. After all that shenanigans before, when she basically alienated him from everyone and etc...no, I dont even want a slight possibility that they'd end up together.

Zambies

*falls 2 knees* Oliver for your birthday can we let Mike and Lucy have a good day ANYWAYS HAPPY BIRTH!!!

Lykky

Goddammit Mike

esinololly

Wait a minute, you might be onto something!!!

Washington BC

@esinololly Full disclaimer: I myself have guilt complex tendencies so that might color my perception 😅. I could be wrong and he’s just making a healthy move! I’m sure we’ll find out soon

Anubis

kinda expected this to happen lol

PAM

Well, that was heartbreaking. What about y'all?

Random

Mike really had no choice...

Kiall Vun Myeret

Lucy desperatly needs to learn concequences The amount of times she blatently hurts people and then just expects them to be there for her Largely because her friend group just always lets her get away with everything out of pity. Mike included

Crossbreeze

Lucy is probably gonna run after him, to try and talk to him. I can see it working, and they talk, but Mike's probably at his limit at this point. Before their conversation ends he's either gonna need a nurse... or a paramedic....

Kiall Vun Myeret

Yeah i think you're right. He's been gaslit into thinking he's a monster so much it's hard to imagine he's doing this for his own benifit

M0use

Happy birthday Souppy! Yeah, you can't just go running to Mr. Always-The-Bad-Guy after publicly making him out to be Mr. Always-The-Bad-Guy. Even if Mike wanted to, even if Lucy asked him to, interacting with Lucy in any way at this point has a very real chance of coming back to bite him. But even so, Lucy could really use some support, yet she can't seem to go to anyone else right now... What a weird place we're in.

Steven Marshall

I'm wondering if this will potentially result in him fainting from exhaustion and Lucy of all people is the one to save him by calling for an ambulance/alerting others about his condition. I can see some readers being upset that Lucy is the one who saves him, but hopefully that development could at least lead to them finally burying the hatchet rather than spending the rest of their lives caught in a vicious cycle.

Relathain

I really hope these two can have a proper talk together this chapter. No yelling, pointing fingers, or blaming the other. Just a normal conversation. And with how exhausted these two are, maybe that will actually happen.

Washington BC

@kiall I wouldn’t go that far as to say he’s been gaslit…that implies that it was someone else who made him believe that. I think Mike already hated himself, even before Augustus’s actions in Line in the Sand. I wrote out a whole thing in a reply elaborating, but I think it got hidden because I used a curse word 😅. TLDR is I think Mike is in a prison 70-80% of his own making, driven by guilt of what he said in December EDIT: oh this one sent, I’ll say it again. Ok so basically the way guilt has worked in my experience is that if you have one thing that you’re mega-guilty about (like, say, Mike feeling guilty over Lucy’s suicide attempt), that guilt festers. And then it starts taking other mistakes you’ve made (and we know Mike has made a lot of them) and adding them to the pile of “reasons why you are irredeemably horrible.”

TrashCamell

Man what is happening here.. I’m guessing Mike is honestly so drained and feeling beside himself. Thinking that even if Lucy approached him it’s better to just steer clear. It’s honestly heartbreaking.

Michelle M.

I would do the same thing if I were Mike. :(

Crossbreeze

I see this happening, but not before they both try to talk to each other calmly before he collapse. Yeah at this point sometimes needs to change for the better, as bad as that a medical emergency was needed to bring these two together to talk. I do hope their talk brings about something better between the two of them.

Metal Raven

Damnit Mike can’t you see Lucy is in need of her support Michael?

Alec

Absolutely my read as well.

mobsterseeker

Lucy this is what Mike did that night at the tree when he was falling apart and needed someone and ended up approaching the one person he had no business leaning on anymore and you know it!! This sucks! At the very least you have to try to do what he couldn't and let the other person go when they try to do the objectively correct thing and walk away!! Got a strong feeling that's not happening but man I know it's not easy after so many years but you two both Need to find a way to mentally delete each other from the Emergency Contact list.

Skid

Oooof he is about to collapse isn't he?

SCD

(Two hours later...) Lucy: Mi-..

SeebeeNangins

Sadly, this is what I predicted would happen. Mike is giving her EXACTLY what she wanted when Augustus and her confronted him. Mike is leaving her alone, and at the price of Mike losing his only remaining allies. It's a sad truth, it's a sad situation, but this has become the 'Ask and you shall Receive.' You asked for Mike to leave you alone, then you did so in front of people he hoped would still be his own anchor, and now he is truly alone.

AlienSpawn

He still hears sandy, Augustus and David, the three people who brought these two kids to their lowest points, Mike feels he has no one who can support him at his worst, and Lucy feels that no one cares about her they just want her for their own benefit. these two broken kids pulled together even though so much tries to pull them apart.

ShiNo_Megami069

Lucy, FFS, MAKE UP YOUR MIND!? DO YOU WANT TO FORGIVE HIM AND HAVE HIM BACK OR DO YOU WANT HIM TO SUFFER, POR LA AMOR DE DIOS, MIJA!! STOP!! God the whiplash sometimes...

Wick

I just wanna say, people keep on bringing up Mike committing suicide potentially and, just because you've hit your rock bottom doesn't mean you'll necessarily be predisposed to committing suicide.

Rocky Wolfknight

If I can be honest I feel like this is gonna show how much a hypocrite Lucy will be here

Rocky Wolfknight

Not to mention during that whole thing with August, only one side is told. Only, one, side. They don't know how deep their history is and yet here we are. Plus she claims he's the one that dragged her along and other abused, and look what she's likely doing without even realizing it. If anything,I feel like this is going to show how much a hypocrite Lucy is It makes me hate this result more and wish August never even got involve.

Crossbreeze

If anything he's more likely to pass out from hunger, exhaustion, and heat stroke

Crossbreeze

If he goes to help Lucy, Augustus is gonna drag Mike beyond rock bottom.

Kirk Findlay

Lucy, in this state needing Mike to be her comfort person has completely forgotten she sort of ruined his life. I mean Augustus, more-so did with his 'aggressive defense' on her behalf. But Mike has been convinced he's a terrible person who doesn't deserve friends and only hurts people. So he's avoiding her out of shame and not wanting to do more harm. And likely cause he might be thinking Augustus will just come after him again. That's not even mentionioning that Lucy, while they were friends, was very emotionally closed off despite also being very emotionally needy of him too. If he ever tried to talk about something serious she'd call it dumb, or distract him, or even hit him in her 'rough housing way' so it was always difficult for him to ever express himself. But at the same time Mike did hurt her and she's also not in a good place either. I'm hoping that what is about to happen is Lucy will run after him, and in a weird way they'll have a symbolic relationship by just running and maybe talking.
