I lay in bed, watching TV as I realize how boring it is without having Arthur here. Yeah recently I've been treating him like shit, but it's better than nothing.

I'll admit...I miss him. Nathan doesn't deserve to have him around him. Arthur's mine and we did lots of things together. If Nathan knew what we've done I don't think he'd be all over Arthur than.

Well...since I couldn't have Arthur and he wants to be a shitface, I called over Bella. The one annoying thing that bothers him to the core. Her. 

"Baby? Why do your parents still not like me?" She asked for the fifth time as she cane in my room with food.

"Don't know. Never asked." I said, making her pout. Watching as she tries to climb over me, but I push her off as she rolls to the side.

Shaking my head in annoyance, I grab my phone to see what Arthur is doing. I told him to text me whenever and that I'd respond, he hasn't done so at all.

He acts like we haven't gone through this before. The fact that he's taking this that far is just so immature and I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

I get it, I had people - including myself - bully him to pieces. But I made a mistake! I thought he took my dream and all. Now that I know the truth it should be all good. Yet he's being this way and it bothers me.

"Tell me something William," I look, seeing Bella beginning to take off her shirt," You've been a little distant and my body is hungry-."

"Go downstairs and eat something." I interrupt, throwing my blanket over her as her body didn't get to me like it used to. I was bored with it and all I could think about was Arthur.

Suddenly I hear an irritating screech, watching as Bella slapped my phone out my hand and tried getting on me.

"Is there someone else?! Am I not good enough-?!"

"You're just not a turn-on anymore. That's all." I admit, and she gasps.

"Who is it...?" She asks in a hurt expression, and I sigh as she's the last person I should be telling.

"There's a thing called growing up and getting bored... I'm bored. You're boring and to be honest, you're a stupid airhead and I can't stand you. So please, get off me and - actually just leave." I say, and she gasps again.

As she rushes out I happen to get a message from - Nathan? Of all the people who could be texting me and this bitch does?

Nathan👺: What does Arthur like to eat? He's...vague right now. If u care about him you'll tell me.

Me: that's not how it fucking works. I hate you; why would I help u make him happy?

Nathan👺: It's not about me. It's about Arthur. 😇

I roll my eyes, folding my arms. Annoyed with the fact that Nathan was asking me this question. But when he said it's about Arthur, not him...

Me: get Chick-fil-A. The fries - a lot of them. There. Now fuck off. 🖕🏼

Nathan👺: Fuck u too.

I shake my head, seeing that Bella left and I happen to be all alone now. Arthur isn't here...so what now?

...I got out of bed, knowing I just gave myself leverage.

They're going to Chick-fil-A and I can most likely guess the one it is. So not only did I just get a big boost into getting to him, but I can convince him to come back.

How smart of me.

****

I watch Arthur and Nathan in Chick-fil-A, seeing him open the door for Nathan as if it was second nature. But he didn't do what he typically did with me, wait for me to go through. While Nathan walked through he did at the same time as if he didn't have time to wait.

I smirk, knowing he was still mine.

Getting out my car I keep my hood on as I slam the door, looking at the Corvette of this random girls.

"William I never thought you'd call me. My brother will kill me for riding his car, but it's worth it if it's you-."

"Okay stop talking, I need to fix something." I say, making her pout.

"What is it-?"

"None of your business," I shake my head, looking to her as I charm my way out of this situation," I'll see you at school, 'Kay?" I say, smiling and making her swoon.

"For sure."

She goes to her car as she was red as a tomato, making me roll my eyes as I face the place. Wondering how the hell I was going to go in there without him noticing me.

He seemed to be able to notice me with no problem. I could be in a fat suit and he'd still be able to pick me out above everyone.

"Arthur, get ready to be won over by me again." I say to myself, waiting as she drives off. Waving in fakery as I now go inside.

Putting my hood on I see that they're in line, seeing him looking around the place with curiosity.

"Place have waffle the fries?" I hear him ask, Nathan smiling as he nodded.

"Yep! Chick-fil-A is famous for them!"

"One time William let me try his. They good. First nice thing he done for me was share fry, so I want fries." He recounts, making me grin and seeing Nathan's face was priceless.

Seeing him annoyed at not having Arthur wrapped around his finger clearly got to him. Because Arthur is mine, duh.

"I don't like when you talk about William."

"He say he not like when I talk about you. Guess feelings mutual with two of you." He states, making him laugh sarcastically.

"For sure. That bitch-." Arthur suddenly glared at him, making him go quiet." That dude has hated me for so long and I hate him too! Who wouldn't hate a school bully? Had to become one myself so that he'd leave me alone."

"I not sure. I not here, so I not understand-."

"You're being bullied by him right now; how do you not understand?" He sneered, making Arthur frown.

"Not know. Maybe I pretend 'cause in my heart Arthur do wrong, but it still a small thing... I never tell him that - too cocky." He said, Nathan folding his arms.

"Why do you deal with his bullshit when you can have me?" Nathan asks and I look at Arthur for his response. Thank goodness I came here at the right time. I need to hear this.

"I not like you that way. There something about William I like. You lack it-."

"What's that supposed to mean? What does he have that I don't?"

"Beauty. Confidence. His personality."

Nathan looks away, and Arthur apologizes. Why is he apologizing for liking me? Nathan needs to get over himself. 

"Sorry - William?" I look, seeing Talia as she smirks." I had no idea you were here, but nice to see a familiar face. I heard you broke up with Bella."

I look over my shoulder, seeing the two of them moving farther up the line. I move too, Talia following me and lucky they didn't hear her.

"I did. She's annoying." I hiss, suddenly feeling my hood being yanked off as Talia smiles.

"Where you hiding your sexiness? Let everyone see it."

I sneer at her, already getting enough looks with this hood on. Now there's more! Nathan happening to look and I quickly duck, knowing I'm not fast enough when I hear-.

"William?"

I look, seeing Arthur on the other side of the lined pole that stopped people from cutting. His expression confused yet not surprised as I grin; removing my hood.

"You caught me."

"I saw you when first enter, you cute when try to hide." He says, making me blush." But I said I want break. I only gone for a day, that not enough-."

"It's enough for some people." I growl, not wanting to talk about this in front of Talia.

"Are you and Nathan a thing or what?" I hear her ask, Arthur narrowing his eyes at her; making her step back into me as I push her aside.

"All so rude. He my friend. So what if he was with me." He sneers, even though I heard their argument earlier.

"I don't care, I'm sorry-."

"You obviously care if you keep bother of him and me."

He shakes his head and faces back forward, Nathan glaring at me as they were now at the cash register.

I already know once they order their food they'll bolt. I don't know where Nathan lives and I don't care to find out. So I get my phone as I call Dylan.

"Can you get my Lambo for me and drop it off at the Chick-fil-A near my place?" I ask, and he scoffs.

"You trying to get Arthur back?" He asks, and I clear my throat." For Arthur, of course."

****

"So how we gonna do this plan." Dylan asks as he hands me my keys." I know Nathan let Arthur live with him for a little...oddly enough. Arthur won't leave with you willingly so how are we gonna do this?"

I smirk, looking as they happened to stay here to eat.

"Trick Arthur to go outside or something. Then I'll be in my car, all you have to do is shove him into the car-."

"Woah! I'm a part of a kidnapping? That guy is a beast, how the hell will I do that without dying?"

I shrug, smiling," Figure that out yourself. I'm not leaving here without him. Don't care what you say, I need to fix this and if he doesn't come with me it'll take even longer." I admit, making him sigh.

"You're lucky I like Arthur. I think he'll make you a better person-."

"Okay stop talking." I interrupt, making him roll his eyes.

I nod at him as Arthur happens to stand, going towards the back to the restrooms. Dylan stands as he heads back there and I go to my car. Going inside I wait impatiently to see Arthur and Dylan walking out the place.

Arthur shouldn't be that stupid and should be able to catch on that this is my car. He'll either retaliate or just be curious.

If he does get to the car and my plan works, where will I take him? I can't take him home, he won't listen there... Not to anywhere with people, that'll be impossible.

Where can we go that is without people and is a good place...? Oh!

"William!" I look, seeing Dylan trying to push Arthur into the seat beside me. Looking at his pissed expression and Nathan fighting Dylan to let him go.

I reach across yanking on Arthur as his body is all the way in except his foot. When Dylan slammed it he had no choice but to pull his foot in. Making me automatically lock the doors and drive out the parking lot; zooming out as Arthur was shouting at me.

Going on the highway I look at him finally as he is glaring his head off. 

"I said break-."

"I'm not doing this with you right now. Breaks are for children, we need to settle this like men!" I say confidently, making him shake his head.

"I stick to me. You and I need break. We not bring it best in other-."

"I'm going to pretend like you didn't just insult me like that." I growl, making him fold his arms as he looked away." Besides, we need to get along. We're going to be in this car for awhile with one another, so get comfy."

He sneers, making me wonder why he wasn't happy to be spending time with me. He should be fucking happy! He's lucky I took time out of my day to even be around him!

"This not nice. I not want to be here," I face forward in reaction," I say I want break, you and Dylan force me here! Not nice! I not deserve this-!"

"I don't deserve to hear your complaining! Shut up and just be happy to even be this close to one another after so long-!"

"A day-."

"So what! You can't get out of this one and I don't care what you say! You're staying here and you're gonna like it!" I yell, making him grumble.

"I gonna hate it."
