"...ll ...ll," Will's eyes groggily fell open and the ringing in his ears made him groan out softly, his head hurt, his body felt weak, and his eyes could barely stay open. It took him a while to pick up the sound of someone yelling out his name. "...my god, Will! Will, are you okay?!" His eyes slowly made out the picture of the figure in his line of sight. What? What's going on? he thought with a squint and blinked again "Mrs. Crawford?" "Oh god, thank goodness you're okay, are you hurt?" Will fell silent as he blinked once more and frowned at the sight of Mrs. Crawford tied up to a chair that stayed six feets away from him. "What the hell?" his voice came out weakly as he struggled to hold his head up. He felt sleepy. But that wasn't the worst of it all, he couldn't move his body, his body felt hot, and every part of him had stiffened up and the least he could manage was to move his head that he had little control over. "Why are you here?" Even his voice wasn't audible enough"
Sometimes we are all deluded by one thing or the other, and a similar case is believing one knows every part and corners of their house, until they find a new stairway that leads to a basement they never knew they had. She should've suspected something was off, from the moment she accidently caught her dad secretly but momentarily meeting up with a blonde guy she had never seen before. "Mrs. Crawford?!" "Sheila?" Mrs. Crawford whispered back in surprise and she watched Sheila softly push the door halfway shut before rushing over to her and squatting at her feet."What are you doing here?... and- why are you tied up?" Sheila panicked as her eyes danced around the rope in disbelief. She got up and went behind the chair to undo the ropes."I could ask you the same thing, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Crawford kept whispering in fear that Miles could walk back in and see Sheila. She peeked back "Seeing how you're dressed lightly... were you also kidnapped?!""What? N-no, I wasn't... w
"Sheila, wait!"President Joe jumped off instantly and his hands went down to cover up between his legs as he moved to a safer end of the room. Sheila stared down at the bed and her brows squeezed up from the sting in her eyes, she tossed the scissors onto the ground and pulled off the jacket of her gown and covered up the girl on the bed. The tears in her eyes couldn't stop forming."Where are the keys?" Sheila sniffled back her tears and turned to her dad with a furious look "Tell me where the keys are."President Joe held down his head "They're in my jacket pocket." She glanced around for his jacket and saw it hung on the side, she rushed for it and shakily took out the key bunch. Heading back to the bed with a sniffle as she tried to figure which key was for which lock but her hazy mind didn't give her a chance. Mrs. Crawford went up to her and held her hands before letting out with concern."Let me."Sheila handed the keys over and stepped back with her shaky hands trying to hol
Zayn stood still and glared down at Miles while Will laid still as he couldn't get his mind off the sound he had clearly heard.The hell? Will thought with widened eyes. Was that the sound of a bone cracking? "I said get up." Zayn's voice took a scary turn as he waited for Miles to gather himself, which did take a minute, considering how he seemed to have likely shifted his brain from the fall."Ugh," Miles groaned out and staggered up "What the hell, you..." he winced from the pain that shook the whole of his body. His hand went up to his nose and the bleeding that oozed out made his eyes widened. He glared up at Zayn and lost his senses for a minute, he threw a wide punch at Zayn which unsurprisingly missed it mark.Zayn held him by the collar and threw in another punch that destabilized Miles, but Zayn held him up because he wasn't done just yet. He slammed him against the wall and Miles saw Zayn's hand coming up again so he guided his face with his arms, sadly, it was of no use t
Will stared him in the eyes for the next few minutes, then their attention got drawn to the door that came open and let in a doctor with Sheila following behind. "I see you're up and obviously itching to go," the doctor said as he got closer to Will while pulling off his stethoscope. Jay stood up and moved aside to give him some space "How're are you feeling? Do you feel hot anywhere or in anyway irritated?"Will stayed frozen in his seat as they all waited for him to give a reply, the doctor glanced over at Jay and Sheila and they gave him a worried look. He gave them an understanding nod and his eyes went back to Will. He leaned closer with his hands rested on his knee and then he spoke in a softer tone."Excuse me for a minute," he said and reach out to get a read on Will's heartbeat but his hand weakly got pushed back as Will finally responded. His eyes searched the ground in a daze and he swallowed back."I need to see them." Will mumbled and shoved the doctor away as he got up.
Just as Will thought the only heartbreak he would have to endure was watching Zayn lie on the bed, with no idea of the moment he would open his eyes or choose to keep them shut forever. The second problem then arose."This is bad." Justin muttered with furrowed brows as they watched the news.Will had just gotten to find out about how president Joe and Miles were related, it was no longer a surprise how Miles was able to get away and hide after his troubles, when he had someone that high behind him. The news about Joe instantly skyrocketed and the whole city was in a turmoil. The president's company immediately went out of business, taking the jobs of millions at all the branches across the world. Like that wasn't enough, partnering companies were beginning to take a hit, and it wasn't also much of a surprise that Zayn's company was taking it the hardest.He'd built up a good relationship with Joe that this was known to almost everyone who had a smartphone or was connected to the int
Will's eyes fell open and his lids blinked tiredly at the strange yet familiar ceiling. Did he fall asleep? The morning light brightened up the room and he swallowed in disbelief as he wondered how he had slept off without rounding up his work. He sat up with a groan and felt the need to fall back asleep.But then he freezes up as he looked to his side and notices the bed that had held Zayn up until the night, was now empty. His mouth fell open and he felt his heart beat in fear, what happened? Where is Zayn?He shot off the bed in question and rushed over to get a closer look at the bed but there really was no one on it. The machines had gone off and the tubes disconnected. "Zayn." The door to the room came open and the moment Will's head came up, his breath seized at the person who now stood at the entrance in his hospital robe.Will's eyes trailed over his face for a moment, then the smile he'd always wished to see got flashed at him. "Will." Will found his tears flood up to his
The next few minutes sent Will down the road of terror as he watched the nurse who had come in get down to pumping Zayn's chest. It didn't take long for the room to hold a doctor accompanied by two other nurses."Please step back."They instructed Will and he staggered back as his heart beat up in his chest. His eyes danced around and he watched them rush into action. What's happening? The doctor read the machine and he rushed down to expose Zayn's bare chest "We're losing him, sir.""What?" Will breathed at the words and his eyes went down to Zayn who was still unconscious. Who were they losing?He watched the nurses take out a defibrillator and as Will watched Zayn being taped up with new tubes, he felt his breathing destabilize anxiously. The nurse giving the CPR stepped aside and Will watched the doctor move closer. "Clear." he pressed a button and Zayn's chest pump up the bed. They repeated their actions and Will didn't know when the tears in his eyes began to fall down his f
