Chapter Thirty One

~

T-minus three days till I'm a legal adult. And honestly, I'm not mentally ready. I wish I could stop time.

Or at least make it slow down, so I can enjoy these last few days of my childhood.
But honestly, I don't know if that would be any use.

Because I can't really enjoy the last few days if my only friend is William.

I mean, I'm not saying I'm not thankful for him. I am. I'm incredibly thankful to have a friend right now.

But he's also friends with them.

Finn, Noah, Gaten and Louis.

Meaning I'm sure he's like a spy right now. He probably knows my side of the story, but also theirs.

It's all I can really think when I look at him. What other things has he heard?

"Y/n?"

I mean for all I know the kid might not be on my side.

"Earth to y/n?"

And I'm sure that my friends and Louis made me seem like I'm the bad guy here-

"Y/n what's with the face?" Will asks, a pencil trapped behind his ear.

I snap out of my thoughts and look away. My face flushes when I realize I'd just been sitting here and staring at him.

Will sighs and switches to his stomach on my bed.
"Did you hear anything I just said?"

I bite the inside of my cheeks sheepishly and slowly shake my head, propping my face up with my palm.

He came over to help me study for our Spanish test, but all I can think about is my friends and Louis.

Will gives me a soft look.
"Y/n you've got to stop thinking about-"

"I know I know," I grunt as I flop onto my back, the sides of my pillow folding up at the force.

Will follows after me, falling to the other spot on my bed. The two of us stare at the ceiling for a moment or two. I was deep in thought. Not sure about him though.

After a moment he breaks the silence.

"Do you like him? For real?"

I didn't have to ask who he was talking about.

I feel my throat tighten a little.

I love him.

"I don't know..." I whispered.

Again, silence.

Will let's out a little sigh and flips on his side, keeping his head up with his fist.
"You've gotta get this out of your head. Maybe you just need a distraction or something. I don't wanna see you rip yourself apart."

I also turn on my side to face him, but I keep my head on the pillow.

I don't remember my bed feeling so small. We feel so close together.
