Chapter 4: Grounded

Matt and Will went to the cheapest apartments in town and found one for two hundred dollars a month. They paid four hundred up front and then went inside. So the place needed some major cleaning and needed to be fixed up a lot but it would do for now. The two walked in and sat down on some old couches that were left behind in the apartment. Will pulled out her phone and started to text the girls and as soon as she finished, her phone rang. Will looked at the phone to see who is calling her and found Cornelia's name on the phone. Will answered the phone and before she even got the chance to say anything, Cornelia started to freak out. "Will, what the heck are you doing and when did you get pregnant and" Cornelia said and was then cut off by Will.

"Slow down Cornelia, how the heck did you even get the chance to read what I wrote? I just barely sent the message." Will asked confused.

"I'm quick ok now what is up with you?" Cornelia asked trying to push her along before the others could call.

"Apparently." Will said simply and then continued. "The whole mess started at the party that Matt and I were invited to and Uriah decided to pull a prank on us and he tricked us all into getting drunk. How, I'm not sure, I'll have to ask him that. Any, I think that you can figure it out from there Cornelia on how I got pregnant. As for why I'm leaving my mothers; that is none of your concern as it is strictly between me and my mother." She told some of the truth but she didn't want to reveal everything to them just yet or at all about why she is leaving.

"Fine, I can respect that but instead of moving into an apartment Will, why not live with, never mind, good choice." Cornelia said realizing that if Will is trying to get away, the last place Will would go is to a friend's home.

Will then told the Cornelia her address and asked her to get the girls over there. After about twenty minutes, the doorbell rang and Will answered the door just to get mobbed by her friends in a group hug. "Thanks girls, I needed that and I left a message on my mother's machine telling her that I've moved out on my own so she doesn't have to worry."

Taranee then let go and put her hands on her hips and stared at Will. "Seriously Will, how does you moving out on your own make her not worry not to mention, you're just about to graduate Will." Taranee figured adding that last part might make Will change her mind and go home but it didn't.

"No way Taranee, I'm not going home." Will said firmly but not angrily.

"Ok Will but I can't help but think that something is going to go horribly wrong sooner or later." Taranee lowered her head and shook it.

"You worry too much Taranee." Will said smiling.

That night Susan stayed up until twelve and then called her friends parents and last but not least is Irma's father. The Phone rang for a few seconds and then a man answered. "Hello, this is the lairs."

"Mr. Lair, this is Susan, have you seen Will anywhere. She has been gone all day and no one has seen her. I'm so worried about her; is she there?" Susan asked frantic and then started bawling after he said no. "Could you get some people to go look for her?"

"Of course Miss Vandom." Susan said goodbye and then he hung up the phone. "Irma Lair, could you get down here now!"

Irma was just getting into bed when her father called down to her and he didn't sound happy. Irma quickly rushed downstairs and over to her father. "Yeah dad, what is it?"

"Do you have any idea where Will is? Her mother just called and asked me to look for her." Her father said calmly.

Irma groaned and then thought of what Will had said earlier that day. 'You worry too much.' Irma bit her lip and came out with it. "The truth is dad; she doesn't want to be found. She bought herself an apartment and to make sure that she is safe, Matt went with her. This time dad, it would be better to stay out of it because believe me when I say that she isn't going to go home anytime soon. Something happened that Will won't tell us and we aren't going to tell her mother where she is which means I can't tell you. Believe me, I want Will back home as much as anyone but trying to get Will to go home when she doesn't want to will make things worse. Just trust me on this ok." Irma explained.

"Irma, you need to tell me where she is." Irma turned from her father and looked downward. "Fine then, you're grounded until Will is found. Now go to your room."

"This isn't, forget it, I'm going." Irma ran upstairs and slammed her door.

When Monday came around, Will walked over to her friends happily but saw sour faces. "What's wrong everyone?" Will asked confused.

"Guess what Will; we're grounded because we all refused to tell people where you are. Until you're found Will. Do you realize how messed up this is. It's just like Elyon all over again but with one exception, you're not on another planet Will. You're just pregnant and you have issues with your mom. Tell us when you decide to grow up." Cornelia yelled quietly enough that only the girls could hear. Then the group except for Will left to their classes.
