The wishes we make (ON HOLD TILL FURTHER NOTICE!!!)

Chapter 15- The topics we fear

Glad to see you continued!!!

"Sweetie, you came!" Willis hears his mom say with a broad smile on her face when she opens the door. She takes him into a warm hug.

Danny notices that Willis doesn't react to this, he just stands there looking at the sky like he was trying to pass the time of it, "And you brought company," she lets him go staring at Danny.

"Yeah, I did. Just like you told me to, right mom?"

She immediately realizes what he was trying to do in no time, "Yes, just like I told you to...and you are?" She refers her question to Danny who quickly begins her first impression with a warm smile.

"I'm Danielle."

"Danielle, wow, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

For a moment the three of them just stand there with nothing much left to say. And for some reason, Danny was very sure she wasn't the one causing the uncomfortable silence and all the resentment in the air.

Something wasn't right. She could tell by the hostile way Willis looked at his mother. and in her eyes, Danny could see the need to be forgiven.

She couldn't understand it, she couldn't tell why. But one thing she did know was that she had to put a stop to this cold feeling, "Umm...Willis, I would really like us to go inside now...if that's ok with you."

The unfriendly eye contact gets cut off by her words.

The expression on his face suddenly changes as he turns to look at her, "Of course it is." He takes her by the hand, and with one last standoffish look at his mother, he leads the way for Danny into the house leaving her behind

"Oh my God, this place is incredible," Danny takes her eyes everywhere, looking up and down the mansion in astonishment, "I never knew your mum had such great taste in decorating..."

"...What happened here?!" Willis cuts her short of words leaving her in confusion. He sounded angry.

Why would he be angry? Is he seeing this place? She thought.

"Willis, are you ok?" Danny asks looking into his eyes full of tears, the fury in them was crystal clear, "Willis please, talk to me, is everything ok?" She asks again, desirous to understand his sudden change of mood. But he just ignores and overlooks her for his mother.

The sudden tears that rolled down from his eyes as he looked at her were enough to warn her on what was soon to happen.

"Willis, are you..."

"A few days mom, I've only been gone for a few days, and yet you've already started changing everything about our home," the annoyance in him cut her ridiculous question short.

She looks around, quickly understanding what his fuss was all about, "Willis, let me explain...I just thought it would be better to..."

"...No! All I ask of you is to bring this place back to the way dad left it."

She looks into his raging tearing eyes, taking some steps closer trying to see if there was a way they could get out of this one without hurting each other. But as usual, there wasn't.

"Willis, we couldn't keep living with that...they all brought back so many memories."

And by we you mean you and Fred, right?"

At his statement, she abruptly stops walking. How could he say that? He knew that wasn't true, or did he? The thoughts hammered through her mind, but at this moment there was no time for thoughts. She had to say something. She knew it.
