"I'll Get It.."

My lips trembled as William got up. He walked over to the phone, and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, mom?"

William paused for a moment. He held the phone close before shrugging and answering.

"Wrong number.."

He hung up, and walked back to the table. He sat and continued to eat his food, not paying attention to me or Micheal.

"Micheal I think we should go to bed.."

I sighed in relief as I stood. Mike nodded, and got up as well, both of us heading upstairs.

Micheal let out a sigh as soon as we walked into his room, I could tell that he was relieved that William didn't gonad out

"That was close wasn't it?"

I chuckled nervously

"Very, very close.."

He answered rubbing the back of his neck. Mike and I had this awkward tension between us now, it was weird.. Mabey it was because he saw me and William in the kitchen? Or Mabey it was because of my daughter.. either way, I wanted it to stop.

"Hey Mike I—"

Before I could say anything, Mike cut me off.

"Miss y/n.. I like someone at school."

•———•

"My Mike likes someone!"

I pinched his cheeks. Mike looked annoyed, or Maybe even a little embarrassed. But what's their to be embarrassed about? We've all had a crush before.

"Stop.. dad might here!"

Micheal whined

"What will he do?"

I teased. Getting up, and putting my hands on my waists.

"So. are you gonna ask her out!?"

I asked.

"Mabey.."

Mike rubbed the back of his neck, getting up.

"I don't know, I don't think she likes me.."

I patted Michaels head, and gave him a gentle smile.

"Of course she likes you! If your not confident she'll loose interest! Now, I think I saw a bouquet of flowers downstairs! I'm gonna get it, and your gonna give it to her."

I smiled, I patted Mike on the back: and walked out of the room. I chuckled to my self and walked down the stairs, only to find William chugging down a bottle of alcohol.

"Oh, y/n, hello love.."

His voice was groggy, and he looked like he was about to pass out. The last time I found William this it didn't go so well, so I decided to just help him down on the couch like last time.

"You need to stop drinking so much.."

I said as I stood in front of him

"Why? Is it because I make you flustered?"

He said, grabbing my wrist.

"That's stupid, your drunk William."

"I am, and that's why you should give me a kiss."

I laughed, as William hugged me, resting his head on my shoulder. I could hear his heavy breathing, which meant he was already asleep. I groaned, and dragged him the couch, sitting down with him.

Most times I felt safe around William, and other times I felt scared, that was when he would get those awful mood swings. I didn't understand why that was happening.. he would hit me, then apologize, then hit me, then apologize. It was odd, and I was going to get to the bottom of it.

Sorry for the late chapter.. I was very busy with school. But now I'm free so, Yay!!
