This one was a little hard to write it is tricky trying to explain how the mind works especially how Will's mind works. That is complicated. Hope you like it.

As I was in blissful unconsciousness I could hear a small voice calm but a tinge of worry was in it saying, begging more or less for me to open my eyes and answer whoever was on the other side. I did not want to it would hurt not knowing hurts more then knowing what is on the other side of pain and misery. But I had to comply because I came to the realization of who that annoying voice calling me was the crazy over-protective uncle.
"Haylie, Haylie baby please do not do this I love you open your eyes please baby girl I can't loose you again once was enough." I was dazing back into consciousness when I heard a pleading calm voice it was worried but calm so I slowly opened my eyes to my surprise we were in my uncles office I was on the couch in the far corner, the lights were strangely dimmer then I have seen them before. Hannibal see's my eyes open and immediately let's out a sigh of relief. "Why must you have a habit of scaring me all the time ?" I winced in as it seems I developed a bad headache from the fall earlier. of course Hannibal noticed immediately "Haylie what is wrong ? Are you hurt ?" I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and text-ed two simple words that always made him understand. He looked and it read Head Hurts :(. he let out a small smile and said really softly. "I would expect it would with the fall you took, and you are prone to migraines. Would you like something for the pain ?" I picked up my phone and text-ed him with a sad smile, his smile felt as he read I would love to take something for the pain, but I don't think I could stomach anything with this migraine, sorry Hannibal :( he looked at me with sad eyes " Is your migraine that bad this time that it is hurting your stomach , that is new I will look into that, if it is though I can take you up to bed." I looked at him and the wrote out Ya that would probably be better then getting sick on your carpet when you have patients tomorrow to care for :{. He looked at me for a moment and then said "You are more important then any of my patients."
I smiled at that, I love when he made his top priority even over his job. So he helped me off the couch gently to not hurt my head and took me upstairs so I could finally get some real sleep instead of being unconscious on the couch. Getting dressed was a pain my body protesting my every move and having your uncle hover right outside your bathroom door is just weird. As soon as I got into bed a gave a sigh of relief my bed never felt so comfortable in my life. Hannibal still there took it away by talking to me "Haylie if you feel really bad throughout the night or still bad in the morning I will phone the school, Okay ?" My only response was a small mix of a moan and a whimper of pain. He gently kissed my forehead and said goodnight. As I laid there alone I thought "There is no way I am missing school I need to talk to will I need to know, Who is Will Graham the real Will ?"
THE NEXT DAY

I woke up that morning exhausted and in pain but I knew deep down I had to push through that if I wanted to talk to will today I had to look perfect to get away from Hannibal. I walked slowly down the stairs and was not surprised to see him in the kitchen already. "Haylie are you feeling better this morning, and please be honest with me." I looked at him for awhile afraid I would pass out from his gaze, "I don't understand why I am still afraid of him after so many years I should be able to trust him with everything I-" "Haylie, are you alright you are looking a little peaky if you ask me." I looked at him finally able to concentrate and said with guilt "I am never better Hannibal." he eyed me for a minute and I feared he would see through me and be mad that I lied to him but he simply said like he did not see through me "Have a great day baby I love you." I ran out of the house fast eager to get to school and out of his gaze and of course as I ran into the building one of the first the person who grabbed me by the wrist causing me to drop my stuff was none other then Blake Johnson my abusive ex-boyfriend and of course will is nowhere to be seen God I wish he was here right now to save me.
Blake pushed me to the floor and got down on top of me so his weight was right on my lungs. "God I can't breathe." as he was pushing down on me he hit my face, hard enough to leave more then jut a little red mark no this was gonna bruise bad. I cried out in pain and fear in hopes someone would hear me. To my saving grace out of the corner of my eye I saw Will so I yelped out as low as I could "W-will" he pressed his index finger to his lips indicating me to keep silent and don't struggle then he walked away. Blake continued to push on my lungs with much more force then before causing me to gasp out in agony. Then I knew why will told me to be quiet when Mr.Walker a teacher who can be mean when he wants to but really nice on other terms came rounding the corner. "Blake principle now Mr.Jones will be sure you get there." He growled. As soon as Blake's body left my chest I was gasping for air like a fish out of water and Mr.Walker was yelling for someone to get the nurse while simultaneously telling me to focus on breathing normally Will came over to me and lifted me off the ground to take me to the nurse as we were walking I whispered out "W-who a-are you r-really Will ?" "I will tell you that when you can breathe again." he said with a small smile on his face. We arrived at nurse Collin's and he took me in and stayed with me for the next 2 hours and nurse Collin's put Will in charge of taking me home and resting and icing my cheek.
As we walked out slowly hand in hand I realized "I like this feeling his hand in mine I could get used to it." Gosh what is wrong with me I thought I could not love I never felt this for Blake, then again Blake was abusive. "Haylie ?" "Ya Will. " "Come with me in here." he said pointing to a greenhouse. "OK, sure" I slowly walked in Will close behind I stumbled a little and he caught my waist and spun me a little so I was facing him. "You alright there Haylie." I blushed as he said my name it it sounded right in his mouth. "Ya, I was sure I would fall thank you and thank you for today really that means a lot to me." I said softly eyeing his beautiful eyes. "It was nothing and to answer your question I am really Will Graham a boy who lost his baby sister a few weeks ago." he said so softly it looked like he was about to cry he brushed those tears away as we sat on opposite benches and he took my hands in his and said
"Haylie Manson I love you and I will not let anyone hurt you, will you be mine." I looked at him tears welling up in my eyes and said "Will I love you to and I will never let anyone hurt you or your family ever again. Yes I will be your's. He stood up pulled me close and whispered "It is about time." before his lips pressed mine. This was definitely no Blake Johnson kiss this was real love. but in the back of my head a little memory was itching saying " But what about all your imperfections you are to broken to let him love you." I tried to push it away but my happy tears were now mixing with sad tears and I could not bring myself to break away I wanted to enjoy the moment ad remember the words he just told me that were at the front of my mind popping in my ears saying "I won't ever let anyone hurt you I love you Haylie Manson." "I love you to will now if only you knew my past, would you still love me ?" was my last thought before he started to break away and walk me home again hand in hand. With a boy who was almost as imperfect as I was.
