"I'm Proud Of You" | Wilbur Soot angst

Chapter16

TW: intrusive thoughts / mention of underage drinking and smoking

Wilbur sat outside in the corridor in a police station. Turns out, some people had noticed some "suspicious behaviour" in the warehouse and called the police. Schlatt, Charlie and Minx had gotten out in time. Wilbur and Quackity had gotten caught. Wilbur groaned and glanced over at Quackity who was sitting on a bench beside him, with a police officer by his side.

"Wilbur, I'm bored", Quackity looked at Wilbur. Wilbur stared back in disbelief.

"Big Q, we just got fucking arrested, and you're complaining about that you're bored? I swear, your mum must have dropped you on your head when you were a baby", Wilbur answered before feeling a sharp slap over his head.

"Language!" The officer beside him said.

"Ha-ha! You got language-d! Oh my god, what an idiot!" Quackity laughed at him.

"Shut the fuck up, Q", Wilbur said before feeling another slap.

"What did I just say, young man!" the officer exclaimed. Wilbur grumbled something under his breath and turned to look at Quackity who just did the L sign on his forehead.

Wilbur felt his blood freeze in his veins when he heard Phil's voice.

"Psst! Wilbur! Is that your dad?" Quackity hissed to him.

"I- yeah... unfortunately..."

"Oh he does not look too happy"

"I noticed"

Wilbur wanted to sink through the bench and disappear as Phil walked up to him.

"So you've been smoking? And drinking? Wilbur you are 15 years old! What on earth were you thinking?" Phil said, his voice surprisingly calm, but you could still hear the anger in his voice. "I am so beyond disappointed in you, William", Phil said. Phil never called Wilbur William. Even when he was angry, it was still always Wilbur. He felt tears pricking in his eyes, not that anyone could see, he was still looking down.

"Wait, is William your real name? Why didn't I know this?" Quackity asked, completely oblivious to the fact that it was the wrong time to talk.

"Just shut it, Q. Please", Wilbur tried his best to keep his voice together, and actually succeeding for once. Quackity seemed to understand that it was the wrong, wrong time to talk.

"Sorry, Will", he said.

At that moment, a short woman with long black hair burst through the door.

"¡ALEXIS!" she yelled as she saw Quackity.

"Oh dear god", Quackity said as he looked in horror as the lady came closer. She started yelling at him in spanish, then she just grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out of the building, all while yelling in spanish.

"See ya, Wilbur!" he managed to yell before the door closed behind him and his mother.

"See ya... Big Q....", Wilbur said quietly, a bit too late, after the door closed. Phil sighed loudly which reminded Wilbur that he had disappointed his father to bits. Again.

"Come on, we're going home. We'll talk more about this in the car and at home", Phil said and started walking towards the exit. Wilbur got up to follow, but the police officer that had language-d him grabbed his arm.

"Try to stay out of trouble, okay kid?" he said, looking into Wilbur's eyes.

"Okay, I-I'll try", he gave the officer a weak smile, who smiled back before letting him go and hurry after his father.

"Where were you?" Phil asked once Wilbur had caught up with him.

"The officer just wanted to say a few words", he said quietly.

"Okay then, come on, we're going to the car", Phil continued to walk, and Wilbur followed.

"Wilbur. I am mad and disappointed with you. I also want to know why you would drink and smoke when you're so young? Can you tell me that, Wilbur?" Phil glanced over at Wilbur while they were in the car. "Can you, Wilbur?" Phil asked when his son didn't answer.

"I- it's- well- '', Wilbur tried to talk, but he couldn't. He became a stuttering mess. "I-I- I c-can't t-ta-lk-", he finally managed to get out. Phil just sighed and focused on the road again.

"We'll talk about it when we get home", he said, without looking at his son.

"O-ok.."

You can't even talk, so pathetic you are.

You're such a disappointment.

I bet Phil didn't even notice you were gone when you went to the warehouse.

Techno probably hates you now.

You lied to him.

He will probably never talk to you out of free will again.

Wilbur, listen, everyone makes mistakes. It's fine. Everyone's going to forget it sometime.

Fucking disappointment.

Idiot.

Wilbur didn't notice Violet's comment. He only heard the negative ones. And he listened to them.

And believed them
