"I can't say it."

I looked down.
William tipped my chin up.

"(y/n) tell me, what did I do?" He pressed.

Tears were falling down my face and William forcing me to tell him isn't helping.

Mike then stood in front of me, "Dad back off she clearly had a nightmare and she doen't want to talk about it."

At least Mike was here to back me up.

William rolled his eyes, "Talking about would make her feel better, her holding it in would only make it worse."

Damn William spitting those facts tho.
I wiped my eyes.

"Mike he's right I need to let it out."

He turned around.
"Are you sure?"

I slowly nodded.
We walked back over to the couch.
Mike sat next to me and William in his arm chair.

"So love explain to us what I did in your dream."

I took a deep breathe.

"Okay so I woke up on the couch and a strange pathway with flowers and candles that led to your bed room William."

William raised his eyebrow.

"Sounds kinda romantic, are you sure this was a nightmare love?"

"Just let me finish."

"And when I went into your bed room to grabbed me and wouldn't let me go."

I swallowed hard.

"And said you needed to tell me something important, exactly the same thing you said earlier today. You held me close and said that all of the distractions are gone."

Mike tapped my shoulder.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

I ignored Mike and continued.

"Then I understood, William had cut the power because today the phone interupted us like twice. The second distraction that William got ride of was......"

I paused and bit my lip.
I can't say it.
Mike put his hand on my shoulder.

"You got this (y/n) you can say it."

I took another deep breathe.

"Mike, he was the other distraction to William."

I turned to Mike.

"Remember that day that you yelled 'EW' at your dad?"

Mike nodded.

"Well after William left he said that you were just a distraction. And in my nightmare William had blood all over himself and he had practialy told me that he killed you...."

I felt like crying again but I held it in.

Mike glanced over to his father and back at me.
They both didn't say anything which made me feel even worse.

I abrupty got up.

"I-I'm sorry I have to go."

I rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
I slupted down behind the door, my knees went to my chest and I held them tight and cried.

Then a shallow knock came from the door.

"Darling are you alright?"

I wiped my eyes.

"Go away Afton."

A sigh came from the other side.

"(y/n) please I need to talk to you."

I gave in and unlocked the door.
I looked through the small gape and saw the tall British man standing before me.

"May I come in?"

I nodded and opened the door to let him in.
We both stood awkwardly in the bathroom.

William took a step closer.

He slowly raised his hand and moved it to my cheek.

I flinched at his touch.

He then took his thumb and rubbed it under my eye wiping my tears.

"(y/n) I want you to know I would never hurt my child. No matter how much I might hate him I can't kill the last child I have."

I showed a small smile.
He did care.
William removed his hand.

"But (y/n) I need to know why your getting dreams like this." William said.

"I-I don't know why I get them, they terrify me William and I don't know what to do."

I could feel more tears starting to pour out of my eyes.
Then I felt William's arm wrap around me.

He had pulled me into a hug.

I closed my eyes and hugged him back.
As much as I hate William for all he has done I know there is still apart of him that isn't crazy.

"Oooo can I join the hug!?"

William and I turned around to see Mike standing in the door way.

"Sure Mike."

Mike came in and we all hugged for a moment.

Then as everything became quiet we all heard a kid yell, "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED!"

I looked up at William.

"William who was that?"

He smiled.

"Just a kid I kidnapped and was planning to kill."

Okay never mind he is still a psycho with no heart.

"come on I thought we were having a nice moment." I complained.

"We can make it more fun if you help me kill this child." William smiled.

I pushed away from him.

"What do you think the answer is your expecting to get?"

William shrugged.
"I don't know, a yes."

I slapped my head.

"Well at least I tried, anyway I'm going to go kill that child and you both can do whatever you want."

He then walked out of the bathroom and into his garage.
Mike and I looked at each other.

"Do you want to listen to music and forget everything that he said." Mike and I said in unison.

"JINK!" We both yelled again.

"Let's just go listen to music before we hear anything." Mike said.

"yeah let's go do that."

Mike led me to his room and he took out his cassette player.

"Here you take one and I'll take the other."

I took the right ear bud and put it in my ear.

"Anything in particular you want to listen to?" Mike asked.

I honestly don't know any 80's songs and if i say the wrong song that would be awkward.

"You can choose I don't care."

Mike smiled.
"Sweet."

Miked grabbed a cassette and popped in one of the cassettes of his choice.

He pressed the play button and a familiar song started to play.

It was 'Livin' On a Prayer' by Bon Jovi.

"Oh damn I love this song."

Mike and I listened to that and one other song.

In the middle of the second song a knock came from Mike's door.

"You can come in dad."

The door opened the William stood in the door way with blood covering him.

I instantly blocked Mike's eyes from seeing William.

"Afton what the hell! Why would you show Mike that your covered in blood!" I yelled.

William waved his hand.

"Oh please when I was his age I saw much worse things. But darling in need you in the garage if you could please follow me."

I sighed and removed my hand from Mike's face.

"Fine."

I took out the ear bud.

"Hey Mike I'll back you dad needs me for something."

"Just be careful." Mike said worried.

Then a hand landed on my shoulder.

I looked up and William had his bloody hand on my right shoulder.
As I looked at him he smiled.

"Don't worry Mike she'll be fine, she is in good hands."
