Letting Gage know I was leaving was quick and easy. He was too invested in his game to care, and his curt "see ya!" didn't take long.

I head to Will's room quietly knowing both Adam and Shelly just went to bed. Will is still in the shower so I perch lightly on his bed trying to keep myself in a good headspace. I'm pissed about Tony, but I know getting mad at Will isn't going to help anything. It isn't his fault Tony is a douche, but he does keep letting it happen and that upsets me. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that. 

When the door opens slowly I clear my throat and Will freezes "Oh."

I stand "What happened with Tony?"

He sighs tossing his clothes into the laundry basket next to him before standing awkwardly in front of me.

"I don't really..want to talk about it"

His words make me angry. Not because he doesn't want to talk about it, but because whatever Tony did has him too upset to talk about it.

I grunt "Will. Tell me."

He looks at the ground walking toward me trying to go to his side of the bed.

 "I just want to go to bed Mason"

I glare and catch his wrist stopping him from getting in bed. I pull him so we're close, too close, but I don't push him away.

"Fuck Will, you want me to beat it out of Tony instead?"

His eyes widen and his mouth drops open "No! Don't..don't do that"

I nod and force myself to calm down. 

 "Then tell me what happened...please. I know he slapped you and I'm already doing my best not to kill the fucker"

Will looks conflicted "Why does it matter? If you kill the asshole it won't be for me right?"

I wince because he's throwing my own words back at me. I lift a hand to his face unintentionally running my thumb down his lip.

 "Baby..." he whimpers slightly, but it's sad.

He pushes my hand away and steps away from me making me tighten my hands into fists. The name keeps slipping from my mouth and he's upset about it. I'm confusing him.

I sigh and run my hand through my hair "Will just tell me what the fuck happened?!"

I'm angry at myself and Tony. I know I'm being irrational, but Will protecting Tony only adds to my anger. 

Will shakes his head lightly.

 "It doesn't matter Mason he just...he always wants me to do what he says! He humiliates me.."

I curse the way his voice breaks and a tear slides down his cheek. I sigh and step closer to him.

"Will..why won't you tell me?" He whimpers "I-I don't want to say it"

I tense and the worst scenarios invade my mind. What did Tony do to him? 

My voice darkens "What the fuck did he do Will?"

Will shakes his head and finally mumbles. "He p-pushed me onto the ground..."

He sucks in a breath and I glare my anger at Tony radiating off me in waves, but I  don't say anything not wanting to make him stop.

"He..he told me he would let me go back to class, but I had to ask...I had to beg"
