I can't believe what Will said to me. I always knew he was different, but not in that way. I have thought about it, but I've never believed it. I'm scared. I still love him. I will always do. I'm afraid of society. When one person finds out, the whole town will know. I know Will is being bullied a lot and I don't think this will help him.

As I walk in the door, I see my mom sitting at the table. I see her serious face, as I walk by.
"Go to your room Willhelm Byers." She says as I walk.
"What have I done?" I ask nervously. She never calls me by my full name. It's kinda embarrassing, knowing it's an old Norwegian name. It was my grandfather that named me that. He was an sailor. He was in Norway once. There he met this musician called Willhelm. My grandfather got so inspired that he also started to write music. When I got born my grandfather thought my eyes were just like the musician, so he begged my mom to call me Willhelm. My mom also thought it was a beautiful name. I don't mind it, but I don't like to tell people my full name when I meet them.

"I need to talk to your brother in privacy. Go now!" She says nervously but loud back.
"Ok." I say more relaxed knowing that I didn't do anything. As I walk into my room, I see my guitar on my bed. I pick it happily up. It helped me through my hard times, so it deserves to be with me through this good day. As I strum an chord, I feel the happiness run through my fingers into my whole body. I feel so free. As the text comes out, I sing so loud that I hear my voice more than my guitar. Knowing that my family may hear me, I sing a little quiet. I smile to myself when I sing Mikes name. Knowing that he's mine and I'm him's makes me feel so bubbly and cheerful inside. I love him of all my heart.

{Writers note} Sorry that I haven't got time to write! School started and I didn't have a lot of time. I don't think Will is actually a nickname, but I thought it was cute. Sorry it was so short, I'm not that good of a long writing person. Also, sorry for any spelling mistakes. English not my first language (or my second to say it that way 😂)
