If You Were In The Story (A FNAF Story)

Chapter 7: "What's going on?"

The next day I thought I was the first awake since it was so quiet; I checked to see if Michael, Elizabeth and C.C were still sleeping, they were. But, William turned out to be awake before me. I could hear him from his office room, I think he was on a phone call with someone, I couldn't hear who though. He sounded angry. Not really in a good mood, did something happen? Did something happen at Freddy's?

"Can you just stop assuming things, Henry!" William scolded on the phone. He was talking to Henry, not in a very nice tone though "Like I said, it's not your fault she left you! Just grow up already. She divorced you ever since Sam went missing and they're both most likely dead. There's no point in this stupid conversation anymore okay? Just drop it."

Sam? I thought to myself, who was this Sam? Charlie told me her mother and father divorced, but she never told me about a Sam. I wanted to ask William, but if I did he'll know that I heard. So I kept it to myself, I didn't tell a soul. I have three choices, don't tell anyone about this Sam that I had just heard, ask William who Sam is, or next time I see Charlie or Henry I'll ask them.

I didn't know which would be safest, I was never the kind of person to hide something from friends or family. And if I ask William Henry or Charlie, would it be too personal? If they found out I know this Sam, they might freak out or something. My brain was spinning, I didn't know what to do. Whenever I didn't know what to do or if I didn't know something, I'd always ask Michael, but telling Michael this might be a bad thing to do as well.

It was the afternoon, the Aftons and I had already gone all the way to my place to get my stuff and come back. William was going to work soon, it's now or never I said to myself. But should I ask him? Screw it, I'm going to.

"Uh, William. Before you leave can I ask something?" I say to him, he turns to me confused.

"Yeah sure, what is it? But make it quick, I've gotta go." William replies as he puts his work stuff in the car.

"Well... uh, I heard uhm..." I couldn't speak, I didn't know how to say it. Then I had an idea. "Is Charlie gonna come with Henry to work today?"

"Well, I did have a call with him this morning. I believe she is, you can come if you want."

"Yes please I'd love to come!" He seemed pretty suspicious when I answered like that, but he ignored and let me in the car.

We made some small talk together while driving to Freddy's. After a little bit we stopped speaking for the rest of the ride there. When we made it to the pizzeria, Henry and Charlie were outside about to open the restaurant.

We parked in the employees only parking area, and walked over to them so we could all open the restaurant. Once we were inside, Charlie and I just started walking around together keeping watch of the customers and other employees that came in a few minutes later. Meanwhile William and Henry went into the employees only room. Charlie and I looked at the animatronics, I smiled like last time I saw them.

They began to preform, Freddy Bonnie and Chica's eyes blinked and their bodies moved and they began talking. It was great hearing their voices again, I really missed them.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!" Freddy would say, same lines like they used to have. "My name is Freddy Fazbear and this is my band Bonnie and Chica!"

"Welcome all! I hope you have a good time, 'cause I sure will!" Bonnie said in his good old happy voice while strumming his guitar. "Hope you like our performance!"

"Yep! Cupcake and I are really excited for todays show! And I hope you are too!" Chica chimed in lifting Cupcake up higher while she spoke and put him back to position after a few seconds as she spoke.

They began singing their old tunes. Charlie and I watched for a little bit, just to hear the first song. After the song was over, we started walking around the whole pizzeria together. I wanted to ask Charlie about Sam, but I didn't know where the proper place to do so would be. Then I remembered the nightguard's office in the two hallways. Only employees were allowed down there and at night.

"Charlie." I say, Charlie looks at me. "I need to ask something alone, can we go into the nightguard's office?"

"I don't know if we're allowed, it has to be night to go in there." Charlie replied. "But... I guess since it's an 'important' thing, we may as well. I just hope dad or William doesn't see us..."

I smiled and we snuck through the hallways into the nightguard's office. The office was small but big enough for us to have space. There were two doors, a desk with a few bits and bobs and a fan, a spare cupcake figure like the one Chica had in her hand, a party hat, and a security camera tablet. I picked it up, I was about to turn it on when Charlie stopped me.

"You shouldn't turn it on." Charlie says. "It stays off until night so it's fully charged for the nightguards. If it's too low, the whole place's power will go off."

I stared at her confused, I thought this was just some joke, but Charlie looked serious. I nodded and placed it back on the desk. I slouch on the office chair, it was a lot more comfier than the average party seats in the dining area/stage. Charlie looks at me leaning next to one of the two door's buttons that showed 'DOOR' and 'LIGHT'. Must be really dark at night I thought to myself.

"So, what did you need to ask me?" Charlie asked, I completely forgot why we were in the nightguard's office. I sighed and sat up properly on the office chair.

"I overheard William and your dad talk this morning, William was not that happy..." I began. "and... don't tell them I know this but... who is..." My voice trailed off, but I kept my courage up and tried another way of saying it. "What I'm trying to say is... I remember that your mother left you and Henry, but I was never informed of someone named... Sam."

Charlie's eyes widened, she couldn't believe I found out about whoever Sam was. She sighed and shut her eyes for a little. Then she opened them, I waited for a response. She stood silent, she gently touched the 'LIGHT' button on one of the nightguard's office doors, she didn't press it though. She looked back at me and sighed again.

"You have to promise not to tell ANYONE I'm telling you this alright?" Charlie told me in a serious tone. "I won't tell anyone you know this if you don't rad me out."

"I promise." I say a little confused but serious. "What's going on? Who is he? Who is Sam?"
