the danger

Mike's POV:

I got word from the police. They said they searched Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria today. And they couldn't find any sign or evidence of William Afton's presence.

Bloody cops. I knew they couldn't do it.

My life and many other people's life is in danger. If anyone's gonna stop my father, I'll have to do it myself.

Apparently no one else is capable.

I spent the morning trying to think.

I didn't come up with a plan. But I know roughly what needs to be done.

.......and I've decided that I won't tell Charlotte. Although I could use her help, I couldn't bear it if something happened to her.
It seems that everyone I involve, just end up getting hurt.

When I was younger my little brother Evan was killed before my eyes. And it was all my fault.
I could never forgive myself for that. I was only a kid too. But I didn't understand.

That's why my father hates me.

I don't blame him.

When the evening came around, I didn't go to sleep.

I'm going to work tonight.

I sat on the couch and watched TV.

Charlotte went to walk upstairs to the spare bedroom, but before she did she turned to me sitting on the couch. "Aren't you going to sleep?" She asked.

I look at her and shake my head.

"Is everything alright?"

"Mhm" I mumble, not taking my eyes off the screen.

I continue watching as I hear her footsteps fade away.
Or so I thought.

I was suddenly joined by her on the other side of the couch.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"I know you're struggling with all this. I'll stay up with you" she says.

"That won't be necessary" I reply.

"Don't be like that. I know you're a pathetic lonely boy."

"What would I do without you?" I say sarcastically. "But please do get some sleep."

She stares at me. "I won't get sleep knowing that you're not sleeping either."

I roll my eyes at her stubbornness.

She's sweet for this, but she can't find out what I'm doing tonight otherwise she'll come with me.
But what choice do I have?

I know she won't leave me alone.

"Fine" I mutter.

It's dark in this house. The tv screen is the only light illuminating this room.

We both sit there, staring at the tv.

It's been a difficult last few days. For both of us.

Right now, all we have is each other.

After a few hours of binging episodes, I check the time.
It's 11:25 pm.

I need to leave soon.

But Charlotte is still here. How do I leave without her finding out?

Then I feel her head on my shoulder.
