TW: intrusive thought mentioned / underage drinking and smoking mention
Wilbur was sitting on the sofa. Phil was standing in front of him, his arms crossed.
"Are you going to answer my question that I asked in the car?" he asked.
"I- I- it was-s just easy t-to just..." Wilbur searched for the right word. "Forget", he said at last.
"Forget what?"
"I- Problems, I guess"
"What problems?"
"Uhmm, Oscar.... and stuff I don't really want to say"
"Why don't you want to say?"
"Well-", he was rudely interrupted by a Ding! from his phone. He looked up at his father, asking permission to answer. Phil nodded before Wilbur took his phone up to answer the message.
Schlatt
Yo, Wilbur, how'd it go?
Wilbur
Getting arrested? It went fine, but no thanks to you, bitch boy
Plus, my dad is looking at my screen
Schlatt
Ooh, got in trouble, did ya?
Wilbur
Yeah, no shit
Schlatt
Lmao sucks to be you
Wilbur
I despise you
Schlatt
Ooh, big words, dont hurt yourself
Wilbur
Fuck you
Schlatt
And that's my cue to leave you with your daddy issues. Bye
Wilbur
Bye
Wilbur turned his phone off, and glanced at his father who had read the conversation.
"Who's Schlatt?" he asked.
"I- he-", Wilbur decided against lying. It wasn't worth it. "He's the guy who fixed the alcohol and cigs", he sighed. Phil nodded.
"I want you to delete his contact", he said.
"What!? No! He's my friend! He's helped me!" Wilbur exclaimed, standing up.
"Helped you with what? Getting drunk?" Phil said back.
"Helped me forget about my shit life! About Oscar! About the voices! About yo-", Wilbur realised he had said too much.
"What do you mean, about me?" Phil's voice instantly got a lot softer.
"I- "
"Wilbur.", Phil sat down on the sofa, softly dragging Wilbur with him. "Wilbur, can you please tell me what's going on? What voices are you talking about?" Phil looked him in the eyes, concern covering them.
"Techno knows. That's enough", Wilbur looked away. Phil sighed.
"No, Will, it's not enough. I care about you. I want to help you, I want to know what's going on. Just please tell me", Phil turned his son's head so it was directed at him again. Wilbur sighed before turning away.
"I'm going to bed. It's been a long day", he said before standing up. Phil sighed, knowing he couldn't get his son to tell him anything yet.
"Wait, Will, before you go-", Wilbur turned around, "You're grounded for a month, so hand the phone over", Phil put his hand up in front of his son. Wilbur sighed and put his phone in his father's hand.
"Try to get some sleep, okay mate?" Phil said.
"I- I'll try", Wilbur lied before going up the stairs.
As soon as Wilbur was out of sight, Phil sat down on the sofa and rubbed his temples. He sat there for a while, questioning his life choices before his oldest son came down the stairs and sat down next to him.
"Soo... Wilbur's been smoking? And drinking?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Tech, please tell me what's going on with Will. I'm so worried about him and I really want to help him", he turned to his son. Techno sighed and shook his head.
"I can't do that, Dad. I made a promise to him. A promise I won't break", he said before standing up and heading towards his room.
"Thank you for being there for your brother" Phil said before Techno had left the room. "I'm proud of you", Techno turned and smiled at his father.
"Thanks", he said before heading up the stairs.
But Wilbur was sure no one loved him at that moment. He had let his whole family down, after all. He just sat there thinking bad thoughts. Like finding Oscar and telling him to beat him up, because he deserved it. But no, then he'd let Phil down for going out when he was grounded. Or he could self harm....? No, then he'd let Techno down. Or he could focus on making Phil proud and just skip eating and sleeping until he'd managed? Yeah, then he'd have more time to accomplish his dream!
And so, it was settled.
