Music In Me

Chapter 14 When You're Gone

A/N: Wow, this one is a big one. Almost 4000 words. O-O Also, I apologize for the spacing. Its a hot mess. Me and Wattpad are about to fight I can't get it to space the way I want it to. I tried centering it to make it better but I think I made it worse. DX 
**It would be nice if when I centered the text.. it actually fucking centered the whole thing instead of bits and pieces of it. *Screams* 

It was day 3 of Lyrics suspension from school and she was nearly climbing the walls she was going so crazy. Killian had definitely changed his number so she knew he was 110 percent done with her but she felt if she could just see his face it would be okay, and she couldn't do that because she couldn't go to school and she wasn't about to just show up on the guys doorstep. No way. Tink had been bringing by her assignments and she had finished all of them so far. Both of her parents were at work and she had the house to herself and she was ready to die from boredom, until the doorbell rang. She got up from the couch and and walked to the door, twisted the lock and opened it there was no one there. She stepped out. 

"Uh..hello?" She asked. She felt a strong arm around her waist and hand clasped over her mouth. She let out of muffled scream and bit her attackers hand 

"OW! Bloody hell! It was a joke!" Will groaned and released her. 
"Will!" She practically screamed and clenched her fists at her sides. "That was not funny! You scared me half to death!" 
"No shit." Will said and showed her the bite mark on the palm of his hand that was bleeding in a couple of places. "I hope you've had all your shots." He said. 
"You deserve that." Lyric sighed and pulled him into the house and into the bathroom where the first aid kit was. She opened it and pulled out an antibacterial wipe and tore it open with her teeth and pulled out the little wipe and wiped the palm of his hand clean with it before wrapping a little bandage around it and discarding the wipe and the wrappers in the trash and closing the first aid kit. She then put her hands on her hips and glared at him. 
"What are you doing here?" She asked. 
"Well, we haven't talked since..the party." Will said and ran his thumb over the little bruise under her eye. 
"Gina got you good." He said. "Don't worry though she's got one too." 
"She didn't get suspended?" 
"Nah. Her mother is a mega bitch and worked out a deal with Gold." Will said and shrugged. Lyric scoffed and walked out of the bathroom. Will followed her. 
"Why aren't you in school?" Lyric asked. 
"Because you aren't and Its more fun when you are." He smirked. Lyric sighed.
"So Jefferson and Victor are just chopped liver now?" 
"Well they aren't nearly as nice to look at, that's for sure. Are we going to talk about the party or not?" Will asked. 
"What's there to talk about? I was plastered and you stopped me before anything happened...Right?" 
"Yes. I did don't worry." Will said. "I'm not that kind of guy, despite what half of the school thinks, and I know that you aren't that type of girl so there was no way I was letting that happen." 
"Well. Thank you." Lyric said. "You thirsty?" She asked. 
"Got any beer?" Will asked. 
"Yes, but they are my dads and you can't have one." 
"Such a good little girl." Will smiled. Lyric rolled her eyes and opened the fridge and pulled out a water bottle and threw it more so at him than to him. Will chuckled and opened the water taking a drink before leaning against the counter watching her. 
"What?" She asked. 
"So are we going to do this?" Will asked. 
"Do what?" Lyric asked. 
"Me and you." Will said. 
"Like.. dating? Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" Lyric asked with a laugh. 
"Well, that's the general idea of it. If you want." 
"I don't know what I want. I like you Will, I do but I don't want to mess up our friendship." 
"So we just give it a shot, if It doesn't work it doesn't work." Will said and shrugged. "I just think we owe it to ourselves to see where it goes. Don't you?" 
"I mean. I guess." Lyric said. It wasn't like Killian was going to change his mind so what could it hurt just to test the waters. "We can just take it slow. Sure." Lyric added. 
"I've never taken it slow, but I'll try." Will smiled. Lyric returned his smile. 
"Lyric honey, I'm home." Darren said as he came through the front door. 
Shit.
 He walked into the kitchen and looked back and forth between Will, and his daughter. 
"What's going on here? You know you aren't supposed to have boys over when we aren't home. Especially this boy." Darren said glaring at Will. 
"Dad.. I think we are a little past that." Lyric sighed. 
"What is he doing here?" Darren asked. 
"He came over to talk about talk about the party." Lyric replied. 
"He should be in school. Where you should be too but can't be because of him." 
"Dad its not his fault, I could have told him no. I made the decision to go and He didn't tell me to punch Regina in the face. If you're going to blame anyone, Blame your new best friend Mr. Jones, he's the one that took me to the office." Lyric said and crossed her arms 
"He was just doing his job Lyric." 
"Right. So. I'm going to go." Will said and glanced over at Darren before leaning in and kissing Lyric on the cheek. 
"See you monday?" He asked. 
"Y..yeah." Lyric said. 
"Good." Will grinned and walked out of the house. 
"What the hell was that?" Darren asked. 
"Nothing.." Lyric said and smiled. 
"Are you two a thing?"
"Maybe?" 
"No." Darren said. "Absolutely not." 
"Why not? Hes a nice guy, He could have taken advantage of me at that party but he didn't. He stopped me. You just don't want me to date him because he's like you when you were his age." 
"Exactly and you want to know what happened when I was his age? You happened." 
"Dad its not like I'm sleeping with him. We are going to take it slow and see how it goes." Lyric said defensively. "Just give him a chance." 
Darren sighed. "Fine, but I want more than a 5 minute conversation with the boy and he has to meet your mother too." 
"Sure. No problem." Lyric smiled.
