𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞...𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤?

I arrived at the pizzeria early; as always. 6:40am. The sun was just barely shining through the windows. I was the only one here, of course I am though. I do my daily maintenance check-up, make sure the springlocks suits where ready to go for the day, check all the lights etc. Finally, I finished the daily check-up in good time too, unexpectedly there was a slow knock at the front door.

I stood in front of the door for what couldn't have been more than 5 minutes. It was way too early for any customers to be arriving, maybe it was Henry or Mike, and they just forgot their keys. I just decided to open the door, standing in front of me was tall...very tall, it was like he towered over me. His dark brunette hair was shaggy and flopped onto one side of his face but still looked neat? His blue eyes were soulless, they were basically grey. There was something off about him, he looked almost dangerous, I was just overthinking yet again. I introduced myself to the stranger.

"Hello, I'm Y/n L/n. Its odd to see...customers? Around this time, were not even open." I gave a faint smile and tilted my head.
"Oh I'm not a customer, I'm William, William Afton." He held out his hand and I shook it without thinking. "Did Henry not tell you about me?" he asked calmly.
"Oh! Mr. Afton, yes Henry did tell us about you. I just wasn't expecting you to be here this early. The new workers don't usually come this early."
he chuckled at this.
"I'm actually the co-owner dear."
I just stared at him confused.
"I had to take a break due to an incident." He looked uncomfortable.
"I've been working here for over a year, and I've never seen you, must have been a pretty long break." I joked.
"Yes it was, there was family issues, so I had to step down for a while." He stared at me with his cold dead eyes once again.

It was awkward to work with William, I always felt like he was watching me. It could of just been paranoia though. 

The day went on as usual, yet Mike seemed more angsty today, way more than usual. I decided I needed to know what's wrong with him. I walked up to him, he was leaning against the bench in the kitchen yet again.

"Yo, what's up."
mike just rolled his eyes.
"So...I noticed William has the same last name as you." I tried to start a conversation with him but he was not in the mood.
"no duh! He's, my dad."
"I can see the resemblance."
"Never fucking say that again." He just stared at me, there definitely was a resemblance if he wanted to admit it or not.
I decided to leave Mike alone for the rest of the day so he could cool off.

This place is getting weirder and weirder each day.
