The Wrong Word

by Marie S Zachary

Will has healing powers. He is the best of the best. Jonah discovers that and asks will to save his and Ronnie's dad. This wouldn't be a problem but it means Will will have to relive his worst 3 days ever. How far does love extend? read it 3 it

3. He Remembers And He Knows Why

Will would never forget that day. He remember how dark it was that night. The sky was thick with loneliness. His friends were there but they might as well not have been. They were acting like fair-weather friends that day. He knew it wasn't their fault but it hurt anyway.

He remember how hot it was that day, the burning sun scorching his body, the sweat dripping off of him. Due to the heat he was itchy all over and he couldn't even scratch. As a matter of fact one of Jonah's poem reminded him of that day. It was actually entitled the itch.
On that day he had in itch
And it really made him twitch
The itch was really mean you know
It drove him crazy this is so
On that day he thought he'd scream
Not because people were being mean
Not from the things that seemed to be such a snitch
But from that terrible, terrible itch
On that day when the sun went down
He began to cry and frown
Teasing
Bullying
Being a bitch
He didn't care
He had an itch

Will had laughed at that poem and also reminded Jonah that the word "bitch" wasn't a nice thing to say around girls so to be careful. Ronnie laughed too and ruffled her brother's hair.

He remembers that itching however and it did drive him insane. He couldn't stop itching all day. When he finally fell out that was the first thing he felt. Relived that he wasn't itching so badly anymore.

He remember the shouting. People were so loud he could hardly hear himself thing.

"GET HIM, GET HIM, GET HIM," they kept saying

He remembers that day well. Why is he subjecting himself to this again? There were only two reasons One was short and adorable. He always made him laugh and honestly Will love him as he would have loved his own little brother. The other was his other half, his better half. Ronnie brought joy into Will's life again. Ronnie made Will the man he always knew he could be. Ronnie was Will's completion. Ronnie was his answer.

Then there was also Steve. Granted Will didn't love Steve like he loved Jonah or Ronnie but Steve was like a 2nd father to him. Hell, Steve was more caring and more attentive than his biological father. He knew his biological dad loved him. He knew that without a doubt but his dad blamed him, subconsciously for not being able to save Mike. After all, his parents knew he had healing powers. They didn't know that it wasn't as strong as it was... what seemed to be a lifetime ago.
