The Broken Sweet Tooth

Chapter 5

"I don't know why I didn't think of this before. The elevator's by far the most efficient way to get around the factory" Willy exclaimed, as he stopped in front of a glass elevator.

We walked into it and saw all the ridiculously stupid amount of buttons, it was clear that this elevator went in more than 2 directions.

"There can't be this many floors" Mike said, obnoxiously.

"How do you know, Mr.Smarty-Pants?", Willy asked, "This isn't just an ordinary up-and-down elevator, by the way. This elevator can go sideways, longways, slantways...and any other ways you can think of", he pressed a button.

And off we went, backwards, through the factory and came across fudge mountain.

He knew I liked fudge...

I, quietly, sighed as I shook my head as I stood behind Charlie to attractions the travelling glass elevator had to offer.
Suddenly I felt a hand in mine, it was Willy trying to be cute as he held it tightly.
I was tempted to crush it, if I'm honest, but I began to feel all soft and squishy like a marshmallow by his touch.

"You're an idiot" I mumbled, quietly.

"I know" he replied, with a smile.

The factory went through place to place, the cotton candy room (yes I knew what it was), the hospital, the administration office and, what I can assume was, the gumball shooting range.

I never felt so happy and proud as I did then, he really did do his best for me.

I smiled, "you really did what you said you would... You mad man in a top hat".

He looked at me, with tenderness in his eyes and smiled back, "Of course I did, you believed in me when no one else would. All I wanted was to see your faith in me hadn't gone to waste".

I looked at him and I couldn't believe it but I think I actually forgave him. Despite everything he did it for my sake anyway, he's an idiot but he's my idiot.

I can't stay mad at him...

"This is pointless" Mike stated, with a bratty tone.

Willy gave him a cold look, almost like his own father did when he was a boy, but I also knew he was thinking that Mike wasn't going to be his heir.

"Candy doesn't have to have a point, that's why it's candy" Charlie exclaimed, calmly.

I smiled and strokes his brown hair, Mike gave a disgusted look.

"This is pointless", he stated again, "Candy is a waste of time".

My eyes widened, in surprise

The day that Willy's dad...

I turned my head, subtly, towards Willy he was having another flashback again.
I began to hold his hand, without anyone realising, bringing him out of his thoughts and sighed a little.

"I wanna pick a room!" Mike demanded, annoyingly.

Willy gave a sly, but knowing smile, "go ahead".

Mike pressed the television room button, eagerly.

Something's in that room.

I glance up at the factory owner and I knew he had something up his sleeve, I smirked along with him.
Suddenly after making a sudden left, we arrived.
I thought everything was ok, until Willy suddenly announced out of nowhere.
