Hello my name is disappointment

Jordan: school is my hell and heaven

The moment I jump off my bus my phone chimes, I look at it.
A message from William.
My heart jumps in excitement; my only glimpses of happiness in the last 48 hours.
William and I meet when we where 2 and a half, out parents where amazingly tight, so we practically did everything together growing up. We did this for as long as I could remember but it all ended 3 years ago when my mum found out what happened to William and Sofia when they where by them selfs with that monster, my mother begged her to run away but she was too afraid of what might happen . Sadly Shortly afterwards Sofia passed away in a car crash, Will never talked about it. About any of it, he would tell me small details like when his dad would come into his shower and would start to rape him but he never said anything else and whenever I brought it up he would change the subject. William and I got each other, we always did.
I open the message and read it.

William 🤪
Hey so i might of missed our bus, but I'll be there soon I promise, can you wait for me?

Me
Oh okay, all good. I'll see you soon and don't worry I'll wait for you just hurry up no flirting with any cute guys

William 🤪
Ohhhhh what a shame, they are all so fun to tease 😈

I get to the gate of the school and lean onto it, I giggle at the last message

William 🤪
Also thank you

Me
All good 😌

I lean back and close my eyes thinking it was the end of the conversation when I hear my phone ding again

William 🤪
Also when I get to school can we do some dram theory I had a weird one last night

Me
Hmm yea sure it was a sex dream right?

I wait a moment for him to respond, I can see that he has read it, but I wait impatiently waiting for the three little dots to appear.
When they do I stare at it bobbing io and down impatiently for a answer.

William 🤪
It might have been 😅

Me
😂 of course it was

I laugh at the response

William 🤪
I am getting off the bus, so I'll see you in a few moments, bye 👋

Me
Yep, bye

I put shut my phone off and hold it in front of he, leaning into the gate and closing my eyes

"1, 2, 3 ready or not, here I come, I am coming to find you" my mum cries from the other room
I giggle at her words, my small Body shoved in my mothers closet. It was dark and quiet, I could hear her running around the house looking for me, when all a sudden it comes to a stop and I am ripping out of the closet and into her arms. I laugh in disbelief.
"See miss I told you I would find you" she laughs along with me.
She pulls me in for a massive hug.
"I love you baby, always" she whispers softly in my ear.
