A guilty pleasure with you // WillNE x Reader

Chapter 22 - Lips sealed.

2:44am

...

Was the time I decided to risk what little I had left to go and see the person who has been hurting me the most. 

It's ironic, right? When Will was hurting me he didn't really care and just carried on with his life as if nothing had happened. But the second I thought he was hurting, I was practically rushing to his aid to make sure he was okay. 

Heart over mind I suppose. 

Luckily Alex was a very heavy sleeper so sneaking out of bed quietly wasn't too much of an issue, Plus I could always use the excuse "Had a nightmare, I needed some fresh air" I mean it seemed like a pretty realistic excuse if I'm honest.

Considering I was only going up a flight of stairs to go and see Will I didn't worry about changing my clothes and just stayed in my pyjamas. 

I pick up a pair of trainers by the side of my bed as I practically tiptoe out of the room to the front door, cringing as the doors creek when I close them. Once I'm out of the apartment I sigh in relief as I bend down sliding on my trainers.

And I found to my surprise that I wasn't feeling incredibly anxious for once or guilty. No, In fact, I felt like for once I was doing the right thing which really was a relief to the system. I stand up as I finish putting on my trainers and start running ever so slightly down the hall and up to a flight of stairs skipping every other step to help me get to the top faster. 

WILL'S POV: 

I was about to go to sleep until I hear a loud knock on the door and I felt my heart physically fall out of my ass. Was it George? or Mia? Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. Should I just ignore it? Nope, there goes another knock. 

Walking over to the front door carefully I look through the peephole to see who was there before making a definite decision to open the door. Yet to my utter surprise I see her standing there, I see Y/N in her pyjamas, her hair tied up in her relaxing bun as she likes to call it

And before I can even hesitate to not answer the door even longer I see her roll her eyes speak quietly but still loud enough to hear her "William I can see you." Fuck, Okay no going back now I suppose.

I unlock the door and opening it slowly a smile appearing slightly on my lips as Y/N lets herself in as she used to as if this was her home as well. "Are you ok?" She says as she sits on the sofa cross-legged leaning her chin on her hands.

I don't get it... Was she high??? or Something??? why was she being so nice to me... I didn't deserve this but- I certainly wasn't going to reject it either I've been missing her like mad.

"I'm really not sure, If I'm totally honest," I say sitting down next to her pulling down my hoodie from my head fixing my hair to make it look less like a crippled bush. 

"Will, Was mia telling the truth?"

"No. You have to believe me"

"I do, I do Will. George has been acting strange lately- and nothing is making sense anymore" 

"Oh thank fuck..." I say with a sigh of relief as I rest my head onto her shoulder and in return, she rests her head on mine

"But, Will, This doesn't make sense. Why did you just remove me from your life for no reason... Now, this?"  Y/N says sounding confused and hurt. And all of a sudden I remembered why George. He was threating to tell Y/N the one thing she could never, EVER. find out because it really would end everything we have between us. 

"I... I can't say just yet, but I need you to trust me on something ok?"

She hesitates for a couple of seconds

But it felt like genuine years 

"I trust you... What is it?" She says moving away to face me taking my hand in hers. 

"You cannot, and I mean cannot let anyone find out we are still friends ok? I mean it Y/N... or I will have to stop talking to you." 

"Do I still get to see you again? as my best friend."

As my best friend? Yikes... were we back to just friends already? 

"Yes, only if you keep quiet." 

"Then my lips are sealed." 

YOUR POV: 

It was now 4:24 and I couldn't believe how fast time had gone I had to practically rush out of Will's apartment to get back before someone woke up or noticed I was gone. Because now apparently it is even more important that No one knows Will and I are still close.

And even though Will didn't say who nor why we had to keep our friendship quiet, I had an awful gut feeling that it had something to do with George. And that truly did make me feel anxious and I hated it. 

...

I arrive back at the apartment sneaking back inside taking off my shoes slowly, tiptoeing back into the bedroom shutting the door at a pathetically slow rate. returning my shoes to under my bed before crawling back into bed where sleep didn't really become an option as I just lay there thoughts running through my head 

Are Will and I still only friends?

What is he hiding?

Is George dangerously threatening Will?

Do I still Love Alex...? Or was I just kidding myself. 

...

until the sun starting to rise behind my blind and Alex's alarm clock started to ring in my tired ears.
