Baby blue short stories

his mother's son 9

PoV Will
As time went by I distanced myself from everyone. I felt so weak and helpless. I knew full well what things my dad was capable of.

Bill tried to help me, but I told him to stay away. For his family.

Now I was on my way home for Christmas.

When I arrived home, Dad wasn't around. I went to my room and looked out of the window.

I looked at the tree. Well, what was left of it. And I remembered my childhood. I almost started crying.

Suddenly there was a knock on my door. I called them in. It was my dad.

"There's a party tonight, you might wanna get ready.", he told me. I looked at him blankly.

"Oh, come on. You're not mad at me, are you?", he asked with a chuckle.

I wanted to say something, wanted to scream at him, but I didn't.

I shook my head.

Suddenly my dad pulled me into a hug. I was surprised, since dad-hugs were pretty rare. Then I wrapped my arms around him.

"We'll fix your mind, William. You'll marry a woman and give me grandkids, hm?", he said softly.

"I don't want to! I just want Bill.", I sniffed.

"Yeah, you think that now, but it's not true. He's a man.", my father told me.

Then he let go and ran hand through my hair.

"You really do look like your mother, it's scary.", he smiled.

I looked away. I had thought about growing a beard, by the way, but that just wouldn't happen for me.

Then Dad left me alone to get ready.

I did.

The evening came way to quick. I actually tried to enjoy the party, but I didn't like the business talk. I tried to keep up with the older grown-ups though.

I didn't want to talk to Anna or her brothers. They were the ones who told the world about Bill and me.

It got late and I grew tired, so I excused myself to the bathroom to splash some water into my face.

I went to my bedroom for a moment, too. I wanted to check my phone. Suddenly there was a knock on my door.

I opened it. "I'll be right back.", I smiled.

My father, who stood in front of me, nodded.

He swayed a little. Oh god, he was drunk!

"Uhm, I just need a moment!", I blurted out. Suddenly he almost fell onto me. I pulled him into the room and closed the door.

"You look so beautiful, Willi.", he sighed softly, his hand in my hair.

"How much did you have?", I asked.

"Not that much. Come here.", he smiled.

"Dad, no. You need to go to bed, I'll handle the guests.", I tried. Suddenly he kissed me again and started touching me.

I felt helpless. I begged him to stop, I told him it hurt, but he just went on, as always.

I wanted to apologize to Will. We had just wanted revenge for him always snitching on us, not ruin his relationship.

When I reached his door, I heard weird noises. Like someone was in pain.

What the actual...

"Now, what are you doing here?", I suddenly heard Fiddleford ask behind me.

I quickly fled the scene, but the soft crying noise stuck with me.

William didn't show up again, so I was sure. Someone hurt William. But who?
