Was I delusional?

All I had to do was get out of the house? All I had to do was run away.. but I couldn't risk it. Clara would probably rat me out, and I didn't want William to get caught.

I liked him.. love him. and I don't want anything bad to happen to me, my daughter, Mike or William.

"What's happening to your grades Micheal?"

William said as he leaned his back against the chair.

"Your failing."

"William, leave him alone, he's—"

Clara couldn't finish her sentence, And I couldn't even chip in.

"Why do you always do this? Then, you blame me. You blame me for your failure. And I'm Willing to forgive you for what you did Micheal, I'm Willing to help. All you have to do is stop being the little shit that you are, to y/n.. understand?"

Now Micheal was going to hate me more.. he's going to think it's all my fault his dad is doing this, but William is trying to help right?

Micheal scoffed and slowly nodded his head, getting up. He clicked his tongue and walked upstairs, Clara following behind him.

"That was harsh William."

I stood in front of William, clutching my sleeves.

"Who cares? I don't."

William huffed, he stood up and gave me a peck in the cheek before walking to the garage, door.

I couldn't comprehend why William was being so nice to Micheal all of a sudden.. normally he would have just started yelled, until Micheal started to cry.. but this time, he was calm about it.

"Wait William.."

"Hm?"

He turned.

just before the handle opened, there was a knock on the door.

I quickly scurried up the stairs and hid in a corner. Although I was in a corner, I could still hear everything clearly. What I was expecting was a visitor, or a friend of Williams.

But it was Winfrey? and her friend.

"Oh? You.. does your friend know?"

"She's about to find out.. where's my mother."

Winfrey stormed into the house, calling me name and looking around.

"I'm sorry about my friend mr afton.. but is Micheal here?"

William smiled and nodded, letting her in. She walked up to micheals room, a slight look of embarrassment on her face. No one wants their friend storming into a random persons home, especially if it's William afton a home.

William closed the door, and I immediately came back down. I walked into the kitchen to find Winfrey, and I hugged her tight.

"Finally.."

She smiled. Hugging me tighter.

"I missed you, lots."

She chuckled nervously.

It seemed like the situation was getting less serious. William didn't really treat me as badly. He hasn't ever hurt me, to the point where I needed medical help.

"I missed you too."

I smiled, pulling away from the hug as it was suffocating me a bit.

"Why are you here?"

William stood between us, looking down on her.

"Your a psychopath.."

She moved closer, pushing William slightly.

"Your mother is fine.. get out."

"What if I don't?"

Where they threatening each other? William.. and my daughter. Everybody's gone mad..

I stepped in between the both of them and slowly pushed William back. There was no use.. he wouldn't kill Winfrey. He wouldn't dare touch her. But, there was calmness in his voice, which meant he was plotting something.

"stop.."

I shook my head.

William sighed and turned, walking into the garage.

I turned back towards Winfrey who was looking at me with a confused yet, angry expression.

"Why was he so calm with you?"

She asked.

"Oh, it's just.. it's nothing."

I replied, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Does he feel something for you?"

She moved closer.

"No. No.. it's just— I was.."

"He has feelings for you doesn't he?"

She moved even closer, I could feel the tension between us. There was so much pressure on me to tell the truth, and I was no where close to wanting to.

"He's not that bad Winfrey.. he's never injured me.. just a few bruises, and there gone.. see?"

I moved back a little, bumping into the kitchen counter.

"He's a bad person mom.. and you know it. So you also feel something for him?"

Her tone became more demanding, as she sounded like she was yelling at me?

"Don't talk to me that way Winfrey, I'm.. your mother."

She stopped walking towards me. There was fear and disappointment written all over her face, at least that's all I could see.

"So you do, don't you?"

She whispered, she couldn't even yell. She looked, shocked?

"What do you mean? You can't.. you can't just assume that."

I clutched my sleeves.

What was I supposed to say now? What was I going to say? I couldn't explain myself. I wanted to tell her my feelings.. but she wouldn't listen, would she?

"HE STOLE YOU'R FREEDOM MOM!"

"HE LOVES ME."

I said it.. I was finally sure.

He had made so many sacrifices for me. Mabey he was even.. okay.

Winfrey's shock soon turned disappointment.
She looked like she was about to cry because of this. What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to stop having feelings for someone because someone else didn't like the person?

"He isn't hurting you anymore?"

She said stepping back.

I nodded slowly, the tears collecting before the fell.

Winfrey hugged me tightly. She took this more light heartedly than Micheal. I had something to ask her, but I didn't think we would have such a heated argument like this one.

"Just give him a chance.. okay?"

She nodded, tightening the hug before she pulled away.

I smiled and pointed towards the stove.

"You and I will make a cake for Micheal tomorrow okay? He's.. very angry with me right now."

I laughed softly.

"He take it so well, Huh.."

She laughed as well. Smiling widely before Avery walked out of micheals room, Micheal beside her.

"Oh, shoot.."

Winfrey smiled. She gave me one last hug before walking outside.

"I'll see you at school Micheal."

I walked into the living room, and stood in a Corner as I watched Micheal wave off Avery.

"See you."

He smiled. There was a bashful smile on his face.. he must really like her.

"Hey.. Micheal, do you have a minute?"

"What?"

He turned.

He looked pissed, angry even.

"I'm sorry for not telling you, when it started.."

I looked down to the floor, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Well, that's your fault isn't it?"

He said harshly, before walking back upstairs.

I sighed.

What did I do to deserve all of this? I've apologized so many times. I've wanted to mend this so many times.. but he just wouldn't let me...

Did he want to hate me forever?...
