   Summary

   Mike is jealous of Will's new life without him. It unsettles him deeply and he isn't quite sure why that is. Will knows what he wants and digs deeper into unsettling Mike.
   OR
   Mike is a compulsive liar and Will is evil by circumstance.
   –
   Mike's POV for chapters 1-5 and then it's Will's for the same circumstances. (I thought it would be fun writing what each of them thought about the situation at hand)
