Just Him & I

8.

I jumped down off the counter and went to find Will. He was stood in the living room looking out of the window, still on the phone to whoever. I sneaked over and poked his sides making him jolt round. "What the fuck? Leave me alone!" He snarled. A tear cascaded down my cheek as I scurried off into the bedroom. I jumped on to the bed and covered myself in the duvet. Why was he so angry? He's never been like this. He didn't come in for like 20 minutes. I was just under the duvet checking snapchat. "Baby...?" He called out, I heard a crack in his voice. He sounded upset. "In here" I replied quietly but loud enough for him to hear it. He raced in and came to my side on the bed and put his arms around me. "I'm so sorry that I snapped babe, Phil just called me about Nelly", he said bringing me closer to him. Phil and Nelly were the people who adopted him when his parents passed. Nelly was ill at the moment so it was obviously  making him worry. "She passed away in her sleep last night", he said as he broke down in tears. Tears started to stream down my face too, seeing him like this. He took his arms back from around me and collapsed onto me, bawling his eyes out. I held him close to me, telling him everything's going to be ok. "Shhh shhh, everything's going to be alright babe, shh shh I'm here" I repeated rubbing his back and holding his head on my chest. Slowly he began to come quieter and quieter. We were like this for about two hours, until he was ok.
