☆it shouldn't be that way☆

MIKE'S POV:

Will stood behind the school with his disgusting boyfriend, James. They didn't know that I followed them, so I kept my profile low. I peeked around the corner to see James screaming at Will. Will was hunched over, with visable tears in his eyes. He didn't deserve this. No one did.

I stopped myself from saying something to James. If I interfered, who knows what could happen. I wanted to help Will more than anything, but I was afraid that if I did something, Will could get hurt. He was being mentally beat up. But what could I do? I don't know. I scrambled away, and walked into the school building before Will or James had the chance to see I was syping on them. In the distance I heard a scream, and I preyed to God that it wasn't Will.

I have always liked Will. But I guess he never thought the same about me. I couldn't help but feel jealous of James. He had everything I wanted. If Will was with me, he wouldn't get treated so terribly. It's awlful. It really is.

I walked up to my locker and put all of my things inside. Will rushed over to me, with James no where in sight.

"Hi Mike." His hands were shaking and I could see beaded drops of sweat on his face.

"Hi Will. How are you?" I asked him, already knowing he wasn't doing to well.

"Oh, me? I-I'm doing great!" He answered his eyes apart, darting from side to side, and almost blood-shot. He was lying. I noticed there was blood on his cheek. Oh my God. Did James do this? James must have... I have never felt more furious in my whole life.

"Will, what happened?!" I pointed to the blood. "Did someone do this to you?!" My face became grave.

Will was silent. His eyes finally focused on me. "I-I have to go now." He mumbled, pushing past me.

"Will! Wait-I-"

He raced down the hallway, and ran into the bathroom. I... I just can't believe what I just witnessed. I can't even begin to comprehen the fact that someone would want to hurt someone as delicate as Will. James was taking out every ounce of anger in his body, and transferring it to Will through hurting him. He was incredibly toxic.

I need to stop this.

WILL'S POV:

I really don't want Mike to worry about me. It isn't worth his time anyway. I mean, what could he do? It's fine. I think I should just ignore it.

"Hey, Will!" A gruff voice barked. I froze. It was James. I turned around to face him. Fear overtook my body once more, as I stared back at the guy I call my boyfriend.

"H-Hi J-James!" I stuttered.

"So, I wanted to say I'm sorry about earlier. It won't happen again."

He always said that. Every single time. And everything he's done still continued to happen. It was starting to get old. I don't know how much longer I can put up with this.... Maybe I deserve this...

"It's fine James." I murmured. I hated saying his name out loud. It felt oddly wrong. He pulled me into a forceful hug, and then left me. I really can't keep doing this...

I don't know how to break things off with him. I'm afraid that everything will get worse if I do.

MIKE'S POV:

I dashed over to the phone, and dialed Will's number.

"Hi Will! Do you want to hang out at the park this weekend?"

"Sure, that sounds nice."

"Cool! I'll see you soon then. Bye!"

"Bye!"

                           ☆☆☆ 

I got to the park on my bike, and met up there with Will.

"Will!" I yelled. I ran across the park over to him as soon as I saw him. His face lit up and he gave me a hug. He didn't let go. I could instantly feel that something was off. He finally let go, and there were tears building up in his chestnut eyes.

"Oh my God Will! Are you ok?!" Cried out.

"N-no." He sniffled.

"Is it... Is it James?"

"...Yes."

"Oh, Will... I'm... I'm so sorry." I stroked his hair. "Is there anything I can do?" I comforted him.

"I... I don't know."

"Will, I promise on Monday, things will change."

    
                            ☆☆☆

Will and I walked into school together without hesitation. I was going to protect him I guess. Just keep him away from James. He wrapped his arm around mine, and inched closer to me. I could feel him quivering. He was terrified, and I couldn't blame him. I was too. Either way, I vowed that I would keep him safe.

As we came to the end of the hallway, James appeared in front of us. His eyes widened at the sight of Will being so close to me. I hope he felt jealous...

"HEY! WILL!" James barked. James grabbed Will away from me, his hand clenched around Will's tiny wrist.

"Why are you with him?" He sneered, pointing at me. His eyes felt like they pierced through my soal. I gulped.

"I-I-" Will was struggling to find an answer.

"JAMES STOP IT!" I screamed. Will's jaw dropped.

"LET HIM GO! Do you even see how you're treating him?! No wonder Will was with me! You're hurting him!" I pointed out, fighting back tears.

James didn't believe me. He dragged Will down the hallway with him. His grip on Will was so hard, that Will could not escape or run away.

I hit James in the shoulder as a distraction. His grip on Will loosened just enough for him to escape. I grabbed Will's hand and we both scrambled down the hallway, because we both knew that our lives depended on it.

Once we knew we were safe, we sat down.

"Hey... Thanks for saving me back there... That was so brave. I would never have the courage to do that." He smiled, and looked up at me, then back at the ground.

"Yeah... No problem! I was th-"

Will kissed me out of no where. Of course I didn't mind! He knows I'm going to treat him right.

"I never realized how toxic he was. You really did save me Mike."

He kissed me again, and I could see that this was the first time he had been happy in a while.
