My heart raced on and on, exciting tension flowed through my veins and my jaw was wide opened, I did not know what exactly he was going to ask me, but I've got something implanted on my brain in which I knew he'd would ask.
"Will you come.." He paused, rubbing his neck. My eyes widened and I placed both my hands behiind my back, clenching them so he wouldn't see.
"Come stay with me? Your dad and mine are going out for a road trip for about a month, maybe we could spend more time with each other." Everything in me collapsed as he said the things i most certainly did not thought off. Instead, fury replaced me. I didn't like the idea of dad going away a thousand miles away without anyone looking after him.
"They're going away? And.. He's sending me to live with you?" Frustration got the best of me, words were coming out harshed and painful. William winced at my last remark and furrowed his eyebrows.
"But your dad wanted to do this, he wants you to stop worrying, and you should, you should let him live his life" He grabbed my hand and I pulled it away.
"Don't you dare tell me what I should do with my daddy!" I screamed, pounced out of the car and dashed to our complex. William was constantly shouting my name but I ignored him anyways. Fighting my way through the darkness, I threw the door open and climbed up the stairs. Locking the door, I plopped down my bed and sobbed just as hard when mom passed away.

My eyes slowly open, but it was dark, so I supposed it was still around 1 a.m. I looked around and saw that William was on my desk, fast asleep. I walked towards him and observed his station. As I turned around, I gasped when I realized the door to my room has had both their hinges broken apart.. I turned my attention back to William his head was resting peacefully on the desk, but his hair was all tousled. His flannel was hung low on my chair and he only had a singlet with a pair of jeans on. A phone was clutched tightly on his left hand, and there were three missed calls. I took a good grip of both his arms and pulled him, it wasn't that easy, he was big and buff. I pulled him off the chair but he just slid down, he started groaning and shook his head a little. I slung one of his arm on my shoulder and tried dragging him, he moaned again and his other free hand grasped on my thigh, making it impossible for me to walk. Instead, I just crouched down, I placed two fingers under his chin and brought his face up, he looked so peaceful, much like my William. His lips moved a lot when he sleeps, and he scrunches his eyebrows too. I couldn't help it, do I want to kiss him?
My eyes felt drowsy and I needed to go to bed but I couldn't leave William, so instead I allowed him to lean on my closet and I rested my head on his chest, falling back to sleep.

The next morning, William was gone. We had school today, so I jumped in the shower and lightly wash my hair. After I did, I threw my hair into a ponytail and slipped into some shorts. I grabbed the same shirt I slept on yesterday, the same shirt I went to the movies to with William, The shirt that belonged to him. I threw it back on, inhaling his scent deeply. As I strode down, William was patiently waiting for me downstairs with an apple on his hand and straight face.
"Good morning." I murmured, grabbing the apple from his hands and heading to the fridge for some early nourishment,
"Rose.." He started out slow and light, I sighed and shook my head.
"Don't. Look, I'm sorry... I panicked, I got scared when I heard that my dad was about to pack his bags and leave for one whole month without anyone there to look after him. I'm so worried of losing him, I don't want the same..... things to happen again, especially not to my dad." Tears were already burning in my eyes, William caught the first one and placed both his hands on my cheeks, cupping them. His thumb rubbed my under eyes as more tears were threatening to fall.
"Oh rose," That was all he said, and he pulled me into a hug. It was pleasant, I didn't need anyone talking to me right now, and William was here for me, to listen and not to judge.
Once we've arrived in school, William walked with me as we have physics together. Once I went to my locker and William went to his, the sound of slamming lockers were heard. As I closed mine, Tony stared at me.
"Hey beautiful, looking good today." He winked. I just smiled, not wanting to ignore him or anything.
"About yesterday, we couldn't fnd y-"
"Hey, it's cool." He smirked.
"So, you free today?" He bit his lips and started leaning in closer.
"Rose, ready to go?" William suddenly appeared behind me and grabbed me by the shoulder, gripping it as he glared at Tony.
"Good morning, Tony." He smiled as politely, and Tony just shook his head and scoffed, walking away.
"Thanks." I murmured.
"Anytime, anyday." He laughed.

We walked into class together and I took a seat next to a girl while William sat with whom i presume was John. I think they knew each other pretty well considering they interact with each other a lot.
"Hey, I'm Luna. You're William's girlfriend? She smiled warmly at me and I immediately turned red from her choice of vocabulary.
"I'm Rose, and no i'm not his girlfriend." I bit my lip, she seemed to be confused with my reply but she just gave me a nod.
"Want to sit together at lunch?" She asked as she took out her notebook just when Mr Zack walked in the room.
"Absolutely!" I brightened, she chuckled and we started jotting down notes.
***
Lunch came along pretty quickly, the two of us skidded towards the cafeteria and guess what, I found out we have about half our subjects together. I was glad I could finally get to know a girly friend. She seemed really nice and friendly.
We both munched on our lunch and talked a lot.
"I don't know, he seem to like you." She said as she chomped on her patty..
"Well, our parents... are really close, but we're nothing like that." I sighed, sipping on my orange juice.
"Seductive glare at 5:00" she said expressionless but smiling.
I glanced at my behind and I realized William was looking at me as his his friends were talking to him. Our eyes met for a while and I broke it off, bring my glance back at Luna.
"Why did you break it?" She squealed, hitting me lightly on the palm.
"Well why did he even looked at me on the first place? It was just an accident, I didn't mean to meet eye contact." I murmured, playing with the end of my straw.
"Dumbassl, it's so obvious that he likes you." She snarled, giving me a cheeky smile and grinning like a maniac.
"We're pretty close I guess, but I really don't think he likes me, trust me Lu." I said, she just shrugged and continued chomping on her burger.
Did he? Did I? Wow, I've never really thought of this. Or have I? I just really can't get my mind straight. Do I like him? Yes? No? Maybe? Ugh I don't know! I really needed some answers, but on the other hand if I did like him and if he did not like me back (as predicted), than it would a complete and total mess and it will ruin my friendship with William and everything will collapse.
"Hey! Rose? You alright? You seem a little pale." She creased her forehead and I shook my head, clearing my thoughts.
"Yeah, i'm fine.." I said and glanced behind. His head shot up and he waved a fork at me, slowly smirking.
