William's p.o.v
"I picked up the call with trembling hands"
James: hey! Do you know what time it is? Where are you? It's f*cking 9 pm.
"I was breathing heavily. I couldn't speak properly. I still managed to speak"
William: i'm uh locked in o-one of my class-class rooms. (heavily breathing)
James: what? I'm coming.
"James cut the call. I didn't know when did i started to cry. But when i realised, i was too late to wipe the tears away. They were already falling down from my eyes to cheeks and then on my clothes."
Third person's p.o.v
On the other side (James was running towards the uni when someone stopped him on his way. He looked at the person and it was George. He yanked his hand away but he stopped him again)
James: what do you want?
George: where is William? He was not with you after the last lecture.
James: why do you want to know? Were you keeping an eye on me?
George: i keep my eyes on every person who knows William including his mother, Travis and Emily. Now tell me where is he?
(James didn't want to waste his time and get to William as fast as possible because during the call he understood that William was not feeling well. He sighed)
James: he accidentally got locked in one of his classrooms. I'm going to get him.
George: i'll go with you.
(James didn't say anything and just ran to the university as he was concerned about his friend and George followed him. They reached the uni)
Back to William's p.o.v
"i was in the classroom trying to calm myself down when the door opened revealing James with a bodyguard and George. James was about to come to me when suddenly George came to me and hugged me. I started to cry even more. At that time, i just wanted someone to hold me. I didn't care about the person hugging me. A hug was just what i neaded. James didn't say anything. He was just patting my head and George also kept saying things in my ear to calm me down"
George: it's ok we are here. Calm down.
"We were now outside of the uni"
James: sorry to bother you. He's new here that's why he missed the timing.
Bodyguard: it's ok kiddo. Just be more attentive to the timing next time.
"I kept quiet the whole time"
James: thanks for tonight, George. You can go now. I'll take him home.
George: hmm take care.
"He patted my shoulder and went away. I saw him walking far away and then fade away into the night. I looked at James. He hugged me"
William: is George really a bad person?
James: i don't know. But whatever problem you are going through right now, i will always be by your side to support you. Keep that in mind.
William: thanks a lot.
James: that's what friends are for. You don't have to thank me. You can tell me about your problems whenever you feel like telling me.
"I nodded. We booked a cab and went back home only to see my mom, Emily and Travis waiting for me outside with James's family. I felt so bad i started to cry again. I made them wait for me it's all my fault. Why do i have to think about it? My mom hugged me."
Third person's p.o.v
(On the other side James told his family to go inside and rest. They went inside. He signalled Travis that they were now going. He nodded)
Travis: let's go and talk inside.
William's p.o.v
"We went inside. I sat down on the sofa. Emily went to get a glass of water for me while Travis and mom sat beside me. Emily gave me the glass and i drank it all at once. Emily was about get another one but i stopped her"
William: mom, can we talk about this tomorrow it's late i think we should sleep.
"My mom understood that i didn't want to talk infront of Emily. I din't want to make her more worried. So she took her upstairs with her to sleep and I was with Travis. He patted my shoulder and we also went to our rooms to sleep."
Next day
Third person's p.o.v
(Travis was coming down the stairs. Emily was sitting on the table having breakfast with their mother. William was not there. Travis was a little confused because William is always an early bird. But he's not here today. He sat in front of Emily)
Travis: hey where's William?
Emily: he's sleeping in his room. He won't go to the university for a few days.
Travis: why? Is he okay?
Emily: he has a fever. His temperature was so high.
Travis: oh i'll go check on him first. Then i'll leave for uni.
(He went upstairs and Emily lowered her head)
