Chapter seventeen

Will's POV:
"Baby? Please listen a-and let me explain myself " Mike says, but I ignore him just wanting to get away from him and this shitty dinner with all of his friends...who I thought were my friends, all in their laughing at me like some Joke.

"Will...please-" Mike tries holding me by my arm, but I snatched my arm out of his grip and face him.

"Please what Mike!" I asked the tone of my voice rising as we stand two feet away from each other.

"Can you just give me a second to explain please" Mike says his expression changing to a more softer tone.

"Explain what!?, what exactly do you want to explain to me? Cause I think I got it all figured out!" I stand looking at him as the rain covers us.

"b-but you don't, everything that happened between you me it was all before I-"

I close my eyes not wanting to hear any of this anymore.

"Before you what?, You just snapped your fingers and turned it off!? I Sneer looking at Mike he has a speechless expression on his face.

Sighing to myself I wrap my arms around my chest, as I stiffened a sniff.

"You took something that wasn't yours Mike...it belonged to me, it was mine and was supposed to be for someone who loved me! And actually care for me..." I retaliate As mike looks down at the ground.

"And you told them?! Something that was supposed to be a special moment for me and you told your friends?!" I can feel the tears starting to fall from my eyes I quickly wiped them, as Mike puts his arms on my shoulders looking at me.

"I-I do love you Will...you know that right?" Mike says reaching out to me, but I step back.

"You know Mike....I really wanna believe you, but after tonight, I sniff "I- I don't know what to believe" I say breaking away from his hold and walking away.

Mike's POV:
I stand in the rain watching him walk away, I don't even know what emotion to feel...it should be angry sad and maybe disappointed, I should've ended it from the start I got too attached and to deep into my feelings.

And Me? someone who hasn't even experienced love or even had interest in love...Will changed that...I've actually fallen in love with him.

And I had to go and fuck it all up! Because of some shitty bet? I run my hands through my hair trying to calm myself as I feel my chest tighten and my eyes fill with tears, "Fuck!" I yell to myself as I try and rub my knuckles and clam myself...but it's too late the tears have fallen and I break down onto my knees and cry.

I'm...really all alone now I've lost the only person who stayed by my side, My family is never by my side but will stuck by me.

Gasping for air my face is falling with tears I wipe at my eyes to try and stop the flow of the tears but they continue to fall, "M-Mike you need to get up? Come on" I felt Lucas and Dustin's arms around me as they lift me up off the ground.

"I-I have to get him back!? There must still be a chance" I weep as I slump into despair.

"M-Mike he's...gone" Lucas says as he pats my back,

"N-No I-It can't end like this" I muttered while bringing my hands up to my eyes and wiping the tears away.

Will

Hugging myself tightly with my arms I shake my head in disbelief not wanting to believe it, "Mom and Luke was right" I whisper to myself as I approached my moms porch twisting the door knob I see my mom standing behind the counter cleaning it.

"Will?...Will honey what's wrong?" She says moving from behind the counter and closer to me, "N-nothing I-I really don't wanna talk about it" I shrugged looking up at her she frowns a bit.

"Here come sit" she says taking me by the hand and sitting us down at the table, "are you sure you don't wanna talk sweetie...Im willing to listen?" She says bringing her hands onto mine squeezing them gently.

"Y-you were right mom...I should've listened to you" I said with a sniff as mom looks at me with an understanding expression.

"oh?...honey is this about that Mike boy?...did you he do something to you? Causes if he did I swear I'll hurt him" she said in a heartbeat.

"N-No Mom...you don't have to...it's my fault really I-I was being stupid and naive" I shrugged.

"your not stupid Will...maybe just a misunderstanding..." Mom reinsured me as she stands walking towards the cabinet and grabbing tea Mix, "I-I love him mom...and I thought he loved me too but I-I guess I missed the point" I said as a tear landed on my lap.

"Oh..honey" Mom says as she brings me into a tight hug, she brings my face up facing her and wipes my tears away.

"Well...if you love him and he loves you...you'll find your way back to each other" she says softly as I looked down at the floor, "yeah...but I don't want to see him again" I said softly as I stood up from the table.

Walking down the hallway I heard mom say "well you can stay here for as long as you like" I stopped and uttered a soft "thank you mom"

After a warm hot shower and crying some more as I felt completely heartbroken...and not only by Mike...but also Max, Lucas and Dustin.

I climbed into my bed bringing my knees to my chest, I felt ashamed...giving myself to him...just so he could what?...Boost his body count? I lay onto my back looking up at my yellow painted ceiling.

Just trying to forget the whole thing and move on...and focus back on my original plan, Complete colleges first semester and see if I got that job I applied for.
