14- dinner

chapter told from Y/N's perspective

he parked in front of me and maries apartment, he opened my car door for me and smiled, I smiled back "well I'd better get going-"   "you just fingered me in public, stay for dinner"  we both laughed "Sorry, but I really do have to go, the kids are home alone" I hum "why don't you bring them over here for dinner? I know they all love me and I'd probably have food ready by the time you get back here"  he smiles "sure, oh and thanks for helping evan the other night" I smile softly "of course! now go, you don't wanna keep the little gremlins waiting" he smiles, I walk inside my house and close the front door behind me, I lean my back against it, I wave my hands frantically in excitement "OMGOMOMGOMGOMGM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I squeal as I fall sitting with my back against the door 

I feel the door being attempted to open behind me, I stumble up and back as Marie walks in "What're you so excited about?" I grin at her like a child on Christmas "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!" she grabs my hands and we jump up and down squealing "ITS WILLIAM RIGHT?"    "YEAH" we hug and smile at each other "I'm so happy for you!!" I smile "he's bringing the kids over for dinner"

she smiles back "I hate children." I laugh "oh cmon, you know I do too but these ones are really sweet!" she sighs and smiles rolling her eyes "alright" I move over to the kitchen area and grab a pan from the rack setting it on the stove 

Insert epic Y/N and Marie cooking montage that I'm too lazy to write

I wipe my forehead and look down at the stove, it's finally done. a true masterpiece- *Knock knock knock* I rush over to the front door while Marie plates the food, I open the door "William! and evan and Elizabeth and Michael! welcome, perfect timing we just finished cooking" Elizabeth excitedly runs to the table dragging evan along with her, Michael chuckles and rolls his eyes at the two "hey y/n how'd it go fucking my dad." Marie bursts out laughing "oh Michael, we're going to be good friends." she high fives him, I just chuckle and roll my eyes "alright everyone, to the table!" Micheal and William sit down while I and Marie carry the plates and silverware over

evan and Elizabeth immediately scarf down all of their food "miss Y/N! you're an amazing cook" she smiles "thanks! I like to think so, you and evan can look around just don't go into maries room" they nod and run off looking around the apartment, Michael and Marie were sitting next to each other and whispering to each other presumably about me and William

I glare at them and they both shut up, I stand up and begin grabbing the empty plates and cups off the table "here let me help you" William offered, something in me panicked for some reason, I didn't need his help I didn't need help I could do something simple, I abruptly turned away "It's alright, I got it." a hint of anger in my voice, oh god... I felt that feeling sink into my stomach, goddamnit I fucked up again, I sigh and put the dishes in the sink for later, someone is trying to talk to me but I can't hear them, I can't focus, I rush to the bathroom and slam the door behind me, I press my back against the door and collapse onto the floor silently sobbing into my knees

I get up and look in the mirror, running my fingers through my hair and sighing as I wipe the tears away, then it all replays, more tears silently stream down my face

 I'm not weak I don't need help I can do things on my own I'm not weak I'll never be weak and I never was weak-

I punch myself in the shoulder, I sigh as I feel the spot stinging with pain. I curl back up on the ground sobbing, why did I do that why did I say that so rudely why did I dismiss him so angrily as though he did something wrong, he just wanted to help, but I don't need help I'm fully capable I don't want him to think I'm weak-

*knock knock knock* 

I stop crying, I look at the doorknob, shit... I forgot to lock it, suddenly the door opens, it's William... I look up at him with teary eyes, he closes the door and sits down next to me "I'm so sorry, did I do something wrong? I didn't mean to offend you" he gently caresses my cheek "n-no! I'm sorry you didn't do anything I just- I just..." I sniffle and wipe away tears, he puts his arm around my shoulder and kisses my cheek "its okay darling" my face quivers, I've never felt like this before, I hug him tightly and sob into his chest, he wraps his arms around me and gently pets my head "its alright darling, I'm here for you" he cooed and gently grabs my chin making me look up at him, he smiled softly and looked down at me with pure adoration in his eyes

I rest my head on his chest and sniffle "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude earlier I just didn't want you to think I'm weak" he gently rubbed my arm "darling, you went through so much alone and still came out functional and happy, you're the strongest person I know" I softly sob into his chest "Is something wrong dear?" I nod and wipe the tears away "yeah I just... nobody's ever treated me like this before" he smiles and kisses my forehead 

"don't worry darling, I'll make sure you get all the love and praise you deserve"
