Family secrets

Chapter 20: Boiling over .

When the sun came up, I took Will home.  He wasn't crying anymore and he stopped trembling too, but the smile I love so much and that spark that lit up his brown eyes weren't around. Instead, there was a sad frown that only whispered, and dark holes void of everything.

" You sure you're ok? You can stay at my place if you want to, I don't mind." I offered, but he shook his head.

"I don't want to worry Clear," he admitted, turning to face me with a smile that made my blood crawl. "Thank you for your help and I'm s_"

"Will" I interrupted, putting a hand on his cheek " don't force it," I said, wiping at the long-gone traces of tears that stained my memory with my tomb. His lips trembled a bit and he leaned into my hand for a second before pulling it away with his own.

"I-I'll be fine," he assured a sad smile on his lips. I nodded, bringing his knuckles to my lips and placing a kiss on them.

" call me if anything, I don't care what time."

He nodded before stepping out of the car and entered the house, looking back once before closing the door. When he was inside, I texted Clear, telling her he wasn't feeling well and that I would get his car from school.

If I understood correctly, the shit stain that's been bullying him, that I also didn't do shit about, doesn't like him taking his car to school, but since he's been quiet lately, Will's been taking the risk and been parking in a lot a couple of blocks away from his school. He didn't take it to my house yesterday, so spent the night there. I texted Chuck to get some help driving both this and Will's car from the parking lot, giving him the same bullshit story about Will being sick and not being able to get it himself.  It's fucking pissing me off! I was lying because will told me to but every time I had to tell that made up crap felt like I was protecting the son of a bitch that touched him!  I couldn't protect him and now I was lying to protect his so-called friend who hurt him. the fuck am I good for if  I can't even protect him from some fucked up rich kids?! I'm done with this shit! I'm sick of seeing him hurt and fucking tired of just being able to tell him it'll be ok while sitting on my ass! But the fuck else am I supposed to do? Me and will live in different worlds, but if it means he won't cry anymore...if it means I'll get to see that smile and spark again...

"Fuckin_!" I muttered combing a hand over my face in frustration as I leaned back into my seat

"Hey-Wow you look like shit!" Chuck said, looking in from through the driver seat window.

" shut up and get in, I'm not in the mood," I warned, from the passenger's seat, my hands still on my face.

" you must not be if you'letting me drive." he said while getting into the car " why am I driving anyways?" I didn't answer, handing him my phone with the address and directions from Clears  " got it," Chuck nodded, the guy could be annoying at times but he knew when to shut up. It was fine this morning cause Will was with me, but after having all that time to think while driving over here, I stayed behind the wheel the ay I was right now, I'd most likely get someone killed. The drive was silent say for a few times Chuck tried to figure out why my mood was such shit but dropped it when he saw I wasn't gonna answer for shit.

We could see the parking lot by now and luckily, other than a handful of car's it was mainly empty. that meant we could get things over with here and I can get back to the only thing I seem to be able to do. I hated talking with nothing to back it up, but I hate leaving him by himself while his like that even more. 

" who's that?" Chuck asked, pulling into the lot.

I looked up from my pocket diving for his keys, towards the car we came to get. there, standing next to it and looking around like he was waiting for someone was some guy,  tall, almost my high even, his hair was cut like an office worker and he was dressed like a church boy, if I had to guess, he was around Will's age. something about this guy irked me! for some reason the longer I stared at him the angrier I got, like everything I've been holding in until was boiling over fast!
