Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
September 24th, 2024
Mike's life is nothing if not satisfactory. It's not particularly exciting or something unexpected, but it's satisfactory. Really, his father would be proud of him. He is married to Kate, a very nice, very... proper woman, and he has a 15 year old daughter with her, Jane
[...]
About an hour in, a new song starts playing. Mike almost mistakes it for an 80s song, actually, but only for a moment. It is intriguing, though. He looks at the title - Good Luck, Babe, it says.
..........................
Or: 53 year old Mike, married with a kid, listens to Good Luck, Babe, and something snaps. Not something he would've liked to snap, but still something snapped.

Summary
The song is catchy, pulling his attention in a little closer now that the volume is higher. He doesn’t pay much attention to the words until he remembers his Wife sending him some video of how some authors reference songs in their writing to be more relevant. Maybe he should start paying more attention to the music of today.
“I don’t wanna call it off, but you don’t wanna call it love, you only wanna be the one that I call ‘baby’”
‘Well that’s just depressing’ Mike thinks to himself.
OR
While driving his daughter to school one morning, she introduces him to a new song. A new song that brings light to old feelings.

As the rest of the song played, Mike realised he couldn’t do this anymore. He really couldn’t. His hands trembled as he reached for the glove compartment. There, he kept a gun.

“When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night, with your head in your hands, you’re nothing more than his wife.”
Mike pressed harder on the pedal, biting harshly at his lip as he sped down the highway.
There was no railing. Any faster and he could run straight off the edge.

Summary
He knows, it’s all his fault. He knows. But there are tears stinging in his eyes and he calls Will again, because how the hell is he supposed to figure this out on his own? He calls again, and again, and again, and again, until Will picks up.
“Mike. Let it go. It’s almost morning, you should sleep. Why can’t you do as I ask and not call me?”
Mike swallows, voice coming out as a pathetic croak, “Will. Will, I can’t lose you. I can't-” The tears that have been burning in his eyes impatiently, finally roll down his cheeks in fat, slow, drops.
-
Will needs time away from Mike, time to focus on college and time to get over his unrequited feelings. For the first time, Mike is not the one to push Will away and he cannot stand the feeling. He ends up calling Will, even though he asked him not to, desperate to get him back. It's not too late, is it?
inspired by "I'm Not In Love" (10cc) lyrics!!
