bill put georgie to sleep.

still not saying a word.

he went to his room and quickly went back to bed.

it was 11:15 am.

bill had woke up.

he went on his phone and scrolled through instagram.

moments later there was a knock on the door.

bill got up and opened the door

it was georgie.

"hey bill are you okay?"

bill sighed and shook his head no.

"what happened why cant you speak."

bill cod horn bring himself to say anything.

he didn't have anything to say.

but right now georgie needed an explanation.

so bill would write this on a notebook.

"georgie, mom passed away. which means she's gone and she was the only one who cared for me, for you! and even for stan when he couldn't be at home. she was the best mom ever and i couldn't afford to loose her. but we did and now we can't do anything about it. i don't have anything to say so i don't want to speak. that's really it."

bill handed georgie the notebook.

he finished reading quickly.

he then handed the notebook back.

"oh... well i know that. but i really want you to speak! what about stan?"

"what about stan?"

bill wrote in the notebook.

"well don't you like him?"

"i do, but what does he have to do with this."

bill wrote.

"oh come on bill! we know you like him and that's it. please bill i really like you too together. don't ever brake up for me!"

"okay. but i think stan wants to break up."

bill wrote.

"why would he want to?"

"i'm a failure georgie."

bill wrote handing it to georgie before running to the bathrrom to cry.

"oh boy."

georgie threw the notebook on the bed and ran downstairs.

georgie went to go call somebody.

"hello?"

"oh why you calling me?"

"i just- can you come over please?"
