Forget You Never

Reconciliation

The next morning, I awoke and pulled my tired self out of bed. I threw on my red sweater with paint stains and my jeans. I ran a brush through my messy brown hair and brushed my teeth. I quickly applied a small amount of lipgloss, grabbed a bagel, then headed out the door. Beatrix had already left so I walked alone.

I saw Will walking out of his house and I almost waved. He saw me and ran to catch up to me. With him by my side, I blushed, remembering how I accidentally blurted out in anger that I liked him...

"Hey Cherry, I need to tell you something. It's really important," he said.

Haha. Nope.

"Please, stop it Will. You already broke me once," I protested.

"Please just listen to what I have to say," he pleaded.

"Will..." I whimpered.

"Please?" He begged.

I just nodded painfully.

"Okay so I know this is going to sound crazy but you have to believe me. Grayson has threatened me. He knows that I love talking to you and hanging out with you. The thing is that I wanted to protect you by keeping it secret but I can't deal with breaking your heart. Cherry, he told me that if I didn't stop talking to you that something bad would happen to you. I really care about you and he threatened to hurt you. I know that sounds crazy but I can't deal with him breaking your heart. Please don't tell him I told you this or else he will do something bad to you. He was the one who broke into my house earlier to get my attention," he explained in a whisper.

"Will! You should've told me!" I stammered.

"Cherry! I don't want him to do anything to you and if he sees me talking to you, he'll get really mad and do something to hurt you," he argued.

"I won't let him hurt me! He's a jerk! I want and need to talk to you Will!" I stormed.

His facial expressions softened towards me.

"I won't let him hurt you either," he told me.

I grabbed his hand and he tightened the grip as we walked into the school. Grayson turned at us and he scowled toward William.

"You know, Buddy-Boy. We need to have a chat," Grayson sneered at him.

"Yeah, you're right!" Will snapped.

"Cherry, you should go wait over there!" Grayson insisted.

"No, she doesn't need to. She can stay right here," Will jeered.

"Cherry! Go over there!" Grayson hissed at me.

"No!" I boomed.

He walked over to me and tried to grab my arm but Will pushed him into the ground.

"Don't touch my princess!" Will growled.

I smiled up at him and Beatrix yelled from across the hallway, "You meant queen, Diplon!!!"

I giggled and he offered his arm smiling. "Would you like to go, my queen?"

"Yes, my knight!" I cheerfully accepted and linked my arm in his.

Off with that, we headed our way to class.

As we were the first ones there, we took our seats in that science class.

Grayson bursted through the door and tripped, bumping into the incoming teacher and knocking her to the floor. He scampered up and out the classroom. The teacher chased him and Will laughed at them. His shoulder was awfully close to mine. I rose and eyebrow to that and smirked as I remembered when Grayson got annoyed with Will when I laid my head on his shoulder. I slightly giggled at that and he looked at me smiling.

The bell rang and we pulled out our necessities for class happily.

A/N: Hey guys! So I finished another chapter! Tell me what you guys think! Should I continue on with the story and progress their friendship into something more or is this a satisfying ending?
