Chapter 23 | Will

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween (if you celebrate) and thank you all so much for reading this book and leaving sweet and/or funny comments for me to read. Your all the best! 💕

The morning was boring after Mason escaped through my window. I was eager to tell Jenna and have her knock some much-needed sense into me, but fate would have it other ways and she wasn't coming to school until lunch.

The only text I got was:

Dentist appointment

I had rolled my eyes when I'd seen it. Texting her back:

Guess you'll miss the Mason update

I was only teasing, but Jenna had responded right away.

Update?! You still need to explain what Hank was talking about

I make a face at that. I'm not scared or embarrassed to tell Jenna what happened, but telling her how awful Hank and Mason's dad is doesn't seem fair. I text her back a thumbs up and turn toward the board. There's only half an hour left before the class ends and Jenna will be here by then. 

My plan is to copy notes and ignore the world until then, but my teacher calls my name

"Oh, Will honey!?"

I look up and she smiles sweetly at me "Do you mind running this note to Mrs.Harrison's room?"

 I force myself not to shake my head or groan out loud and quickly stand obediently.

"Sure thing"

I take the note and leave the room walking down the hall and upstairs coming up to Mrs.Harrison's room. I knock lightly shifting on my feet awkwardly. Why out of everyone did I have to be picked to do this? My anxiety gets worse as I wait, what if she asks me what the note is about? I don't even know what the note is for! 

Thankfully the door opens distracting me and she smiles down at me.

"Will, what can I do for you?" 

I thrust the note at her quickly, rushing out "I was asked to bring this to you"

She takes the note and reads it before nodding "Perfect thank you, you may go back to class"

I nod and quickly turn about the head down the hall, rushing to get back to my desk where I am comfortable. Tucked nicely in the back of the class where no one notices me. Unfortunately, just as her door clicks shut I'm standing directly in front of Tony who grins.

"Baby Jackson. What are you doing here?" 

I wince "Um...going to class"

I attempt to step around him, but he swings an arm around my shoulders locking me against his side and starts dragging me with him.

 "C'mon Will I'll walk you to class" 

I hate the way I freeze up and just let him drag me towards the stairwell. I'm panicking and frozen because I don't know how to react. I don't want to yell and cause a scene he may not even bother me, but I also don't want to go with him. 

Once were inside the stairwell he shoves me toward the wall and cages me in with his body.

"You know Will I feel like we never get time to just talk"

I bite my lip confused and on edge.

 "I need to go Tony" 

He chuckles shaking his head "No, you don't"
