I looked around the room, searching for a sign that Will was around. I had come with just Shelby today. Liam and Zach stayed behind. I didn't need to wonder why. After Shelby and I searched the room for clues, we decided to talk to the doctor. "William got checked out with his parents today." He said when we asked about Will. I thought for a moment. I'd never met his parents before, or even heard about them. "Sounds like he went home" Shelby concluded as she ushered me out of the hospital. I texted Will as we walked back to the hotel.

Me: Hey, I heard you checked out of the hospital. I'm glad you're doing better. Is there any way I could come see you?

He texted back almost immediately.

Will: Hi (Y/N), Will is resting, this is his mom. I don't think you should come. The only reason he's hurt now is because he went to see you. I'd like you to stay away from my son.

My jaw dropped. At this point, we were back at the hotel and packing our bags. I sat down on the edge of my bed and Shelby saw me. "What's up?" she asked sitting next to me. I showed her the text and her jaw dropped too. "Who the hell does she think she is?" Shelby said. I didn't know if I should text back. I decided to wait a bit, hoping Will would wake up and have his phone back.

Later that night:

It had been a long day. Shelby and I booked last minute plane tickets home and we left Canada. Shelby was sad that she would be leaving Zach. They hugged and kissed at the airport. I think I even saw her cry a little bit. We got home late at night. Shelby decided to stay at my house that night. She said it was because she was sad about leaving Zach. I knew it was that but also secretly because she knew I didn't want to be alone. In the morning, I woke up and sat on my bed, looking around my room. I was so used to the hotel, it was weird being back in my own house. I went over to my dresser and found the keychain Will bought from Minecon. I decided to keep it with me. That night, I never got a text from Will. I decided to be brave and try to text him again.

Me: Hey, Will. How are you feeling?

It was maybe 10 minutes before I got a reply.

Will: I told you yesterday, leave Will alone.

I laid back on my bed and cried. I knew somewhere in my heart all along that it was partly my fault that Will got hurt. I remember Zach said the only reason Will went to Minecon this year was to meet me. I knew that Will wouldn't see it that way but I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault.

"His parents left him in that hospital for a month without visiting once and then suddenly they kidnap him and tell you not to talk to him? Wow great parenting." Shelby yelled. "It was just so sudden." I said, trying not to cry anymore. I'd done a lot of that in the last month. We sat around my house watching mindless T.V. shows and eating chips. After a while, I remembered I never actually edited or posted the "boy friend does my makeup challenge" video I did with Liam. I decided to edit and post it today. A little after I posted it, I started getting tons of notifications about it. People said they shipped me with Liam and we were cute together. I was scrolling through comments when I got a text. It was from Will!

Will: Hey sorry I haven't texted you. You probably know I'm home by now. My mom was holding onto my phone so I couldn't text or call anyone. I miss you already.

Me: Hey!!! I'm so happy to hear from you. Can we call?

After I texted that, he called me.

Me: "Hey, how are you feeling." I asked

Will: "Much better, I've been sleeping and most of my wounds are healed. I can walk properly and I only have one or two scars."

Me: "Good, I'm glad you're okay."

Will: "It's good to hear your voice. I wish I could see you."

Me: "I wanted to come there but..." I trailed off.

Will: "But what?"

Me: "I texted you yesterday asking if I could come see you and your mom answered and told me to stay away from you."

There was silence for a moment.

Will: "I don't see the messages"

Me: "I'll screenshot it and send it to you"

I did just that.

Will: "I'll be right back I'm gonna go yell at my mom."

He muted his mic and I waited. After a few minutes I heard him speak again.

Will: "Hey I'm sorry that happened. I would love to see you and I'm sure my mom will apologize in person if you still wanted to come. I miss you so much"

I turned bright red

Me: "Okay, I'll book the flight now."

After a few more minutes of catching up, we hung up and I was happy again. I told Shelby about how I was going to go see Will and she told me how she couldn't leave anymore. She wanted to catch up on videos and didn't want to spend anymore money on hotels. I offered to pay but she didn't accept. I knew it was also partly because she didn't want to be a third wheel. That night I packed everything up and booked a flight for the morning. I was excited to see Will again. In the morning I got on the plane. It would be a long flight so I decided to take a nap. It seemed like I was very tired today. I fell asleep and when I woke up, we were in England. As I exited the plane I could feel my body getting heavier. I got my bags and needed to sit down. 'It's so hot in here. I thought it was always cold in England.' I thought to myself while I got a Lyft to my hotel. When I got there, I had someone help me bring my bags to my room and I laid down to rest. I texted Will saying I got to my hotel safely and I would be there in 30 minutes. I got another Lyft and it took me to Will's house. When I got to the door, I was barely able to ring the bell before everything went black.
