Michael Afton x Reader (Stay By My Side) {Completed}

Chapter 15

 Y/n's POV:

I woke up seeing that it was still slightly dark outside. I moved my head up to see that Michael was gone. He must've already woken up. But why? It was probably only four or five in the morning. He would've only gotten an hour or two of sleep.

I could just barely hear yelling coming from downstairs. It kind of sounded like Michael's voice. But who would he be yelling at or arguing with this early in the morning?

I got out of bed and decided to check out what was going on, just to make sure he was okay. I slowly walked over to the top of the staircase and looked over to see what was going on. To my surprise, Elizabeth was hiding behind him, and he was yelling at... William?

"Why wouldn't you tell me?!" William yelled at him.

"For the last time, I was going to tell you soon!" Michael protested. "I found her early this morning! Would you really expect me to be calling you at three in the morning to tell you?!"

"How can I trust that?! For all I know, she might've been here for who knows how long! And even if you did find her today, I really don't think you were planning on telling me at all!" William argued. "Now give me my daughter, Michael!"

"And why should I let her go with you?!" Michael yelled. "For all I know, you might start treating her the same way that you've been treating me!"

"I've been treating you perfectly fine, Michael," William growled. "All I've ever tried to give you was a happy life! And I want to give her the same! Now give Elizabeth to me! She's my daughter, not yours!"

"You're talking about her as if she's some sort of... thing! She's not going with you! She's staying here with me! Just get out of my house and leave us alone!"

"Your house?" William repeated. "This is not your house! This is the house of some friend of yours that you decided to run off to! Your house is with me!"

"This is far more of a home than the one you've raised me in! Your 'home' is no home of mine!"

William grabbed Michael by the collar of his shirt and raised his fist in the air to punch him, when I finally snapped.

"Stop it!"

The three of them looked over at me.

"Please, Mr. Afton," I started, walking down the stairs. "Just let Michael be." William scowled.

"You dumb little girl," he began. "You stay out of this! He's my son!"

"Then treat him like it!" I shot. "I'm sick of seeing you treat him the way you do! If you really care about him so much, then show it!"

William walked over to me, so that we were face-to-face. He raised a hand in front of my face to slap me. I put my hands in front of my face with fear.

"No!"

I quickly shot up in bed, looking around frantically. I heard a soft groan next to me. Michael sluggishly sat up as well, rubbing his eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked sleepily.

"Where are they?!"

"Who?"

"William and Elizabeth! Where did they go?!"

"Y/n, what are you talking about? My dad is back at my house, and Elizabeth is sleeping in the guest bedroom."

"No, they were just here! Did he take her, or-"

"Y/n, it was just a nightmare," Michael interrupted me. "Elizabeth is completely safe and my dad is far away from us. You don't have anything to worry about."
