I had skipped school today and planned on skipping tomorrow as well. I wasn't feeling up for it. With my luck, there were probably tons of rumors spreading around the school about Will and I. I wanted to disappear from this planet.

It was later in the day, around seven pm, when I heard my doorbell ring again. I looked outside to see Will's car and Will standing at my front door with a look of concern on his face.

I tucked my hair behind my ears and looked in the mirror again. I still looked bad, but at least not as bad I did a few hours ago. I took a deep breath before walking over to the door and opening it to see a concerned Will.

His face dropped when he saw me, "Bee, what happened? Is everything okay, I tried calling yo-"

I cut him off, starting to feel choked up already, "Will, I know what your plan was this entire time. Just leave me alone. Please."

Will shook his head, "What are you talking about? Are you feeling okay?" He extended his hand to reach for me, but I flinched my arm away from him. A look of confusion was now on his face.

I refused to look him in the eyes, I would probably cry again if I did. I spoke in a small voice, "You never loved me the way I loved you. You were just dating me because you felt pity for me." I felt my eyes start to tear up, so I covered my face with my hands. "You don't have to pretend to love me anymore, Will," I let out a quiet sob, "I'm done."

I couldn't see what his face looked like, but he pulled me into his arms while I cried. He rested his head on top of mine and we stood like that for a while. Will finally let go of me and picked up my chin so I could face him. He looked deep in my eyes like he always did and said, "I don't know who told you that or how you got that idea in your head, but I love you for who you are. I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't genuinely care about you, I wouldn't leave you tons of messages, I wouldn't stick up for you at school, and I wouldn't be sick to my stomach worrying about you if I wasn't so crazy about you. Bianca, you are everything I ever wanted."

I managed to smile through my tears. My words came out in a soft whisper, "Do you really mean that?"

He nodded his head, "I've never been so sure of anything." He then kissed my forehead and pulled me in for another tight hug.

My face was burrowed in his chest and the faint smell of his cologne made me feel at home. I never wanted to leave his arms, he gave such long and warm hugs. When he eventually let go, he motioned me over to his car, "Let's get out of here."

I shook my head, my eyes widening, "What? I am not dressed to go anywhere!" He laughed and pulled my hand, "It's okay. You look absolutely fine."

Hesitantly, I got in his car and he sped down the road. It was dark outside, only the moonlight shining down on us. I had no idea where we were going, but it felt nice to be in his presence again.
