I love you ( Solangelo High school Au)

3rd person

Will spent most of the visiting hours watching Nico, when it was time to leave he was a little reluctant but his dad told him it was unhealthy to not eat or take care of his hygiene just to watch Nico. So in the end he was forced out and into the front seat of his dad's car. He began to have second thoughts about leaving Nico alone once his dad pulled out of the parking lot but it was too late then.

The ride was silent, no words were said only brief sighs, and the blowing of the air conditioner was heard inside the car. The silence was getting unbearable to Apollo so he struck up a conversation.

"Look, Will. Nico will be okay, his injuries were more minor than they lead on okay? He'll be fine." Apollo took one hand off the wheel and placed it on Will's shoulder in hopes of comforting him.

No response was heard, so Apollo just left him to his thoughts.

Soon they were home, Apollo pulled into the garage and got out ready to kick the door until he realized that Will was still in the car looking out the window. Apollo knocked on the window to grab his attention but he was unresponsive.

That was when Apollo concluded that this was a job for a mom.

He turned and went inside and came back 2 mins later with a concerned Naomi behind him. She knocked on the window a bit harder than Apollo and said, "William Andrew Solace, get your butt out here right this instant!!" she called out.

And it seemed Will heard that one, 'cause soon enough he was out of the car and out in the open, 'The parenting approach. Why didn't I think of that?' Apollo said with widened eyes.

Naomi just stood looking at Will -whose eyes were pointed at the ground, mind you- with slightly saddened eyes.

"Will, look at me.....please."

Will looked up to meet Naomi with tears forming in her eyes. His eyes widened as he made his way toward her, "Mom? What's wrong, are you hurt? Did I do something wrong?" Will bombarded her with questions.

Naomi just shook her head and pulled him into a hug, "Will, I know how much you like Nico but you can't do this to yourself. For me? Please?" Naomi said as she placed her hands on the sides of his cheeks.

Will was frozen for a second before he nodded, he didn't want his mom to cry, especially not because of him.

"...*Sniff* Okay come inside I made dinner," Naomi said releasing him from her grasp.

Apollo locked the car and went in right behind Will, they got to the dinner table and for once there was no sign of Skylar stuffing her face with lasagna.

"Where's Skylar? Will asked with a croak in his voice since he didn't water the entire time he was with Nico. Naomi gave him a glass of water before she replied.

"She's at a sleepover at Tracy's (Skylar's Bff)." They sat down around the table and dug in, Will thought of pushing his food around until he realize how hungry he was.

They finished up and Apollo took the dishes to the sink, Naomi has a one-on-one with Will about Nico and soon things were calm. They decided that it was late so they headed upstairs to their various rooms to get some shut-eye.

Will took a shower and got into his pajamas before slipping into his bed. He started at the ceiling unable to sleep, so he just thought thoughtless thoughts. That makes sense right?

Anyway, after a few minutes of just staring at the ceiling, he fell asleep with only one thing on his mind.

Why me?

-----+-----+-----+-----

The next morning Will was woken up by his screeching alarm. He felt around to turn it off and once he heard a click and the alarm turned off, he once again relaxed into the covers.

Before he could fully drift off, Naomi barged in and pulled open the curtain to let in sunlight.

"Wakey, wakey eggs, and bakery." No response was heard, then she remembered the reason she came up in the first place.

"Nico's Awake you know?" She sang in his ear, and with those words alone he jolted up like a spring and dashed to the bathroom. I'm sure all he needed to hear was Nico.

Naomi just chuckled and went back downstairs to get his breakfast together. Before she realized Will was racing downstairs and almost out the door.

"Will, get back here and eat your breakfast." She yelled after him before he could lace up his sneakers.

"But-

"No, buts. Come eat, or do you want Nico to think it was his fault you haven't been taken care of yourself." Naomi said as she put his plate by an empty chair and took a seat on the other side.

Will sighed and made his way back to the table and slouched down in his seat. He gobbled up all his food and soon went back to the doorway to put on his shoes.

Naomi just chuckled at this but decided to torture just a bit more. They made their way to the garage where they got into her car.

She started the car before pulling out of the garage.

She went towards the road to the hospital but took a sharp turn the other way. Will looked at her in confusion as they pulled up in front of his school.

"Get out, chop, chop." Naomi clapped at him. " What? Did you think you were gonna miss another day of school?"

"But mooooom," Will whined.

"Go on get. And if you think about sneaking out of school you'll have an appointment with the back of my hand."

Will just let out a sigh and went inside. The day was filled with tests and other normal school stuff. Will could not keep his thoughts away from Nico all day.

His thoughts were filled with,

Is he okay?

Did he have breakfast?

Did he have lunch?

WHAT TIME IS IT, I WANNA LEAVE!!!

Right after school, Naomi pulled up in front of the school with a wide smirk, "Soooo, how was school today?"

Will just entered the front seat and muttered, drive.

You would think, finally Will can see Nico but nope Naomi wanted to torture just a bit more.

Naomi went straight to the hospital but she didn't park, she did a U-turn and went back on the highway. And before then they were back in their garage.

Naomi turned to Will with a smirk, while Will just glared at her. "Calm down, we're taking Nico dinner."

They got out of the car and into the living room, Will went upstairs to change clothes while Naomi packed food. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Coming~" Naomi sang.

She opened the door to see a girl in a hoodie with her hands behind her back.

"Audrey!?"
