Home is where the heart is

"What if I do..."

Wills Pov
"Like boys" the tears began to fall more rapidly
She wrapped her arms around me as I began to sob
"So what if you do" she said squeezing me tightly
It felt nice I felt supported I felt...loved
"Do you wanna know a secret?"she asked
I nodded
"Well if I'm being completely honest" she looked at me

A week later

Mike's Pov
El pressed her lips against mine
And I kissed her back
Everything seemed to be going back to normal
When I opened my eyes
I looked behind her to see the drawing of Will and proceeded to shut them afterwards
(If you want to be technical "Will the Wise")
The drawing had went from house to house and was now above Elevens new bed

Wills Pov
I had came to terms with the fact that I indeed was...not normal
If normal even exists I was not it
Mike was over so I knew what that meant
I had no right to be jealous but I was
I played one of my favorite songs and flopped onto my bed squeezing my plush frog
I was angry even though I shouldn't be
I wanted to break things and rip the wallpaper off of the walls but I knew it was a bad idea
I know it was said that home is where the heart is
But nothing good ever happened when I was here
I felt a tear roll down my face
Before I knew it my pillow was damp
That's when I heard my door open
I froze
"Will... are you doing alright?" My moms voice was sincere
I felt her hand on my shoulder
I wiped my face and turned towards her
"Yeah I'm fine"
"Your eyes are red are you su..." she noticed my pillow that was covered in my tears
She sat down on my bed next to me
"I know that I work a lot to take care of you guys but I also want you to know that I'm still here for you emotionally too" she frowned
"I know mom and I'm glad that I have you"
"Do you want to talk about what's going on" she pressed
I had to think of something and fast
"I um well...can I close the door?" I asked
" Of course"
I closed the door and sat back down next to her
"So what's been bothering you lately"
"I guess I've just been feeling a little left out yenno that's all" I mean technically it wasn't a lie because I did feel that way
" I understand...I know all your friends have got girlfriends and that's going to be hard to adjust to but have you tried talking to them about it?"
"Sort of..."
"Well maybe you should talk to them about it you and Mike used to be attached at the hip"
She paused and smiled
"After the accident I thought you two might've began getting close again"
"I thought so too mom...I thought so too"
