lost love

I lay in my bed, my face stuffed into my pillow as I cried out, my tears soaked the pillow. it had been a full day since will went missing now, a full 24 hours. my worries and concerns had been bottled up for too long so I let out a long scream into my pillow. thankfully, the pillow blocked out 99.9% of the screaming noise but a loud crashing noise erupted from the other side of the room, the pillow definitely didn't mute that sound.

I quickly pulled my head up from the damp pillow as I looked to investigate the noise.

"y/n? are you okay? what was that?" my mother's voice called out.

"oh! um, it's nothing.. just fell out my bed," I shouted back as I switched my lamp on.

my jaw dropped once I saw the mess that had been created across the room. all of the star wars toys that mike had gotten me for the past 4 birthdays had tumbled from the top shelf into a big heap on the floor.

"shit, shit, shit." I whispered to myself whilst stumbling over and starting to replace them back on the shelf.

once the job was done, I flicked the light switch again and slipped under the covers, this time successfully falling asleep.

I grabbed the waffles that had just ejected from the toaster and stuffed two of them into my pocket whilst leaving one for me to eat right now.

I jammed the waffle into my mouth before speaking with my mouthful, "mum, I'm gonna finish my homework assignment, see you in a bit!"

"um no, excuse me young lady, you are to eat breakfast with your family!" my mother ordered but it was too late because I was already half way down the stairs to the basement.

"Hi!" I exclaimed whilst jumping the remaining 2 steps of the stairs.

el's head shot up with a worried expression, anxious someone other than y/n or mike had discovered her.

"don't worry, just me and some waffles," I reassured whilst kneeling before her, she was fiddling with the controls on mike's supercomm.

"here," I smiled whilst handing her one of the two stolen waffles, "breakfast!"

hesitantly, she bit into the eggo before speeding up the pace as she munched on it.

"woah!" I chuckled, "slow down eager beaver, guessing your hungry!"

she nodded whilst wiping the crumbs from her lips, looking at me expectantly.

"here's another one," I passed her the other waffle and she ate it at the same speed.

"so.. me and mike were wondering if you could go out front and knock on the door and then when my mum answers you explain to her that you're lost.. is that okay?.." I asked softly.

"no," el simply replied.

"no?" I repeated.

"no," el shook her head.

"no.. you don't want my mum to get help?" I questioned.

she shook her head again.

"you're in trouble, aren't you?" I pieced together her answers of the multiple "no's."

this time she nodded her head.
