Stand up (a willdip)

Chapter 18: Everything is different

I started to fall down. I didn't have enough time to make a portal. I hit the ground and blacked out.

~Time Skip~

I slowly opened my eyes. I'm Alive? I looked around. How did I get into my room? Will walked into my room.

"Will?" I asked weakly.

"Oh, you're awake," he said deadpanned.

"How long have I been out?"

"Just a day," he told me. I sat up.

"Okay. Do you wanna grab something to eat?"

"Actually I have plans. I'll see you at dinner." Will told me in a monotone voice. He left my room without another word. Huh, that's odd. Why was he so ticked? What plans did he have? I got off my bed and went downstairs. Mabel looked up from her food and ran over to me. Giving me a bone-crushing hug.

"Oh my god, Mason! You're okay!"

"One, I can't breathe sister." She let me go.

"Oh sorry." When does she say sorry?

"And two who are you and what have you done with my sister?" I asked.

"What do you mean Mason?" Is she serious?

"Never mind. I'm going to make a sandwich." She smiled and nodded. Mabel went back to the table. I make myself a ham sandwich and go to Mabel. I put my hand against her forehead.

"Mason what are you-"

"You don't have a fever."

"Of course I don't have a fever. I haven't gotten sick for four years."

"Are you sure you're feeling well?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Okay." I took a bite of my sandwich. Why is she being so nice to me? Ever since we made the deal with Will, she's been cold. First, it's Will now Mabel. What is going on?

~Time Skip~

"Hey, I'm back," Will said walking through the door.

"Good, make dinner," Mabel told him.

"Yes Mistress," he told her. I went next to him.

"So where did you go?" I asked. "Anywhere fun?"

"I just went to the fabric store to get my eye patch altered. It was getting loose."

"Oh okay. Do you want me to help you with dinner?" I asked.

"No, it's fine."

"O-okay. I'll be in my room if you need anything." I walked away and went upstairs. I layed down on my bed. What in the world is happening? I cover my eyes with my hand not bothering to close my window curtains.

"Mason! Dinner!" I sighed. I couldn't sleep.

"I'm coming, Mabel!" I yelled back. I went downstairs and sat down at the table. Will served us and I thanked him. He just nodded. Ford came through the door.

"Oh, Mason you're awake. Good." He sat down and Will served him too. "So how are you feeling?"

"Oh um, I'm good."

"Well, that's go-" dishes crashed onto the ground. Will mumbled a curse and got on his hands and knees picking up the glass. Ford's face went red. "You insolent demon!" He went to Will and pulled his head up by his hair.

"I'm s-sorry Pro-professor. I'll I'll clean it up."

"No matter. You need a punishment. Mabel, you know what to do." Mabel smirked and snapped her fingers. Will was gone. Shist.

"Come on everyone. Let's go punish him for breaking the dishes." We walked down to the basement and I saw Will in chains. Ford grabbed the whip and I looked away. I heard the crack of the whip and Will crying out. It happened again and again. I tried to tell Will telepathically that it would be alright but he blocked me out. The whip stopped and I thought it was over. It wasn't, Mabel took out one of her daggers and was cutting his arms. I saw whip marks on his arms.

"Dear brother do you want a go?"

"Maybe tomorrow sister, I'm still really tired and I feel a bit weak from the fall. I'm going to bed good night."

I'll be back soon. I told Will. I don't know if he heard me but I turned around and started to walk out.

"Alright Mason good night," Ford said.

"Night," Mabel told me. I walked out of the horrid place. I quickly picked up the broken glass and threw it away. I made a mental note to go shopping tomorrow with Will.

~Time Skip cause I'm lazy!~

I glanced at my clock, 9:00. They should be asleep. I quickly grabbed the first aid kit and quietly went downstairs. I opened the basement door and Will was breathing steadily.

"Will, I'm here."

"Took you long enough." Whoa Whoa Whoa, back the T-Rex up, what did I do? I quickly unchain him. I opened the first aid kit and took out the rubbing alcohol and a rag. I started to clean his wounds. Will hissed.

"Sorry."

"You should be," he mumbled. I stopped and looked at Will.

"What?"

"It's your fault I'm here. That I'm hurt. You tricked me into making the deal. It's your fault I'm like this. You're too much of a wimp to stop anyone." I couldn't speak. Did he really feel this way? No, he couldn't have. This wasn't our first fight and couples have fights all the time. Right? He grabbed the rubbing alcohol, rag, and first aid kit. Will went out of the basement leaving me on the ground still stunned. 

I got up and went to my room. I sat on my bed waiting for him to come. Five minutes. Then it became ten. Then fifteen. After twenty minutes I went downstairs to look for him. Will wasn't there. I looked everywhere except for his old room. I ran up the stairs to the attic. Will was on his bed. His back was to me.

"Will?"

"What do you want?" He asked.

"Don't you want to come to my room with me? It's really cold up here."

"No, I'm fine." He told me.

"A-are you sure-"

"Can you just go?"

"Um o-okay. My door is always open if you want to come in. Good night Will. Love you." I waited for a few seconds before closing the door and leaving. I went to my room and sat on my bed. We've had fights before but he would always come into my room to sleep. Will hated it up there. It was the attic and had no heater or air conditioning so during the day it was pretty hot and at night it was really cold. You know in Beauty and The Beast where the Beast keeps the enchanted rose? That's pretty much what Will's room looked like.

None of our fights have ever been like this. Usually, it was just me getting upset and how I couldn't protect him and I would yell that it was my fault for everything that happens to him and we would go back and forth until one of us storms out. But every night whoever didn't storm out would be on my bed and the other would apologize and we would hug and cuddle. He has never gone to his room after a fight. Except for the first time we fought. Was Mabel holding him up to this? I layed down. I curled up hoping that Will would come. But he never did.
