[He's about to reach the fever pitch of panic attack that means he's just going to have to sit down and cry and lose his shit when Jake finally appears.
It's a big relief, but not big enough. Michael still feels sick to his stomach and like his words are running away from him in a frantic race to get Jake to come back and for things to be okay.
He can't stop thinking about Rich's face and how awful he looked, thinking Jake hates him.]
Jake.... thank god. No, I'm... I'm not, honestly. I'm worried literally sick about you. Where have you been? What did we do wrong? I'm sorry, maybe it's self-centered but I'm certain I'm the problem. 'Cause you and Rich are best friends, right? I'm the new cog in the watch, I'm the third wheel that ruined the wagon. I never, ever wanted to come between you two! And if that's not what's happening I'm an even worse asshole!
[He drops his face into his hands and tries to breathe.]
