The Dark and The Light-Billy

The End

I watched as Bea placed flowers on her mom's grave and I couldn't help but feel terrible. She had just lost her mom for the second time and tonight Leo had to say goodbye to her. I hated that my parents were forcing Leo to go away with a girl for a while but it was the only way to help Billy. "I feel like one of us should say something," Jess said with tears in her eyes 

"I don't know what to say" Bea sighed and Jess shook her head "well... they definitely loved each other" she referred to Sherlock and her mom "and I guess some people can't exist if they're apart" Billy pulled me into his chest when Bea said that and I smiled at him softly before looking to Leo who was gazing at Bea sadly, no one else seemed to notice though.

"Come on Kitten" Billy took my hand and we headed back to the cellar, Leo, Jess, and Spike followed. Tonight we were going to get fish and chips for dinner, I was really excited. 

"Beer" Spike grinned pouring himself a drink that night, we all laughed as we unwrapped our meals, the food looked amazing, much better than the fish and chips we are served at the palace, it's not as fried because apparently, it will make me gain too much weight 

"Wow, it looks so good," Jess said taking in the delicious smell and smiling 

"Pour us out one Spike" Billy yelled 

"I'm starving," I said eating a french fry, Spike handed Billy some beer and he held it up  

"Cheers," Billy said with his mouth full of food, I watched as Bea walked over to Leo and sat down next to him, I saw the way Leo looked at her, he loved her and he would be miserable without her. 

"Eat" Billy laughed holding up a fry, he popped it in my mouth and I giggled chewing it. 

"Do you have fish and chips when you're a prince?" Bea asked Leo 

"We have fish and chips" Leo assured her "but we only eat them out of crystal bowls right Hanna?" I laughed and nodded taking a bite of the fish, it was really really good

"Actually our servant's hand feed them to us" I joked and Billy shoved me playfully 

"Would you care to take some fresh air with me, Beatrice?" Leo asked and I knew that he had picked this moment to tell her about going away 

"Sure I'll take some fresh air with you" Bea smirked 

"What was that about?" Billy asked when they got out of the cellar, I didn't know if I should tell him or not but I'm sure he would find out soon enough 

"Leo's leaving," I told him and his eyes grew wide 

"What do you mean?" he set his fish and chips down 

"When you're a member of the royal family there are certain expectations of you," I said "expectations of" I paused "who you'll be with" Billy frowned 

"What do you mean 'be with', like be with be with, like get married?" he looked at me sadly and I nodded 

"Yes, Leo is going to Europe with a girl named Helena"

"What a git" Billy spat

"He doesn't even know her," I said "and he had to do it, it's the only way we could get treatment for your leg" 

"What do you mean we?" Billy snapped his eyes filling with hurt and sadness "I thought this was just Leo"  

"I-I meant it was the only way he could get you help, I don't have enough leverage"

"Why not, you're a member of the royal family" 

I sighed "not for long Billy, I turn 18 soon and I will be of age, once that happens I'm leaving, I'm leaving the royal family for good, I talked it over with Leo, and he agreed" I waited for Billy to react, it seemed to take him a minute to process what I had just said but once he understood he grinned widely 

"So you'll stay here with me?" he asked, "with Jess and Spike and Bea? is that what you're saying?" 

"Yes" I nodded "I'll be here for good" he laughed and gave me a kiss 

"I love you, you know that right?" he smiled taking my hands in his 

"Of course, and I love you too," I told him and I probably would always love him. I looked around the cellar at Jess and Spike who were laughing and eating, I thought about all the memories I had, had with the group and I was one hundred percent sure that I had made the right choice, I loved the people here just as much as I loved Leo. I leaned into Billy's arms and let out a happy sigh, I was right where I wanted and needed to be.
