"so, how did this happen again?" dr. khan raised an eyebrow.

"i fell." billie said.

"how did you fall?" dr. khan questioned.

"i just... fell? i dunno. why are you asking so many questions?" she asked.

he let out a sigh. "i just need to know for the paperwork," he jotted something down on his clipboard. "i'll be back."

he left the room. i turned to billie. "how are you feeling, baby?"

"it's hurts." she frowned.

i reached for her hand. once i got it, i brought it up to my mouth to press a kiss to her knuckles. "it'll get better soon, i promise."

"i know. it's not like i haven't sprained it ten million times before this." she grumbled.

"how do you even sprain it so many times?"

"i just have weak ass ankles!" she threw her hands up. "it's the most annoying thing ever!" i laughed as she pretended to choke herself with one of her chains.

a few minutes later, dr. khan came back with a boot for her. he helped her put it on.

"now, i don't wanna see you in here for the next month." he said sternly.

"whatever," she muttered. "am i free to leave now?"

"yes, you are." he gave a smile.

i helped billie off the examination table, then led her outside. i opened the passenger door for her and helped her into the seat before getting into the driver's seat.

i backed out of my parking space before reaching my hand over to hold her's.

"you're cute." she complimented.

"thank you." i cheesed.

"also, we don't talk about how this actually happened." she gestured down to her ankle.

"i can't believe that you're a belieber." i teased.

"shut up," she grumbled. "we don't speak about it!"

///

"okay, no, but hear me out," i held up my finger. "you look like a princess! you're glowing and shit!"

"but i'm a king!" billie argued.

"yeah, but you look like a princess!"

"but i am a king!"

"i know! but you look like a princess!" i said again.

she went to argue again, so i reached over to cup her face and squish it so that she couldn't say anything else. "aht, aht! no more!"

i leaned over and kissed her, since the way i was squishing her face made her lips puckered. i snickered as her nose scrunched up as i did.

"don't act like you don't like kissing me." i teased.

she moved my hand off of her face. "yeah, but not when your squishing my face like that."

i leaned over and kissed her again. "you're just a big baby."

"am not." she grumbled as she pulled me into her lap to hold me. i sent her a look. "okay, maybe a little bit, but you don't have to point it out!"

///

"you have a friend that does piercings, right?" i asked billie.

"yeah, why?" she raised a brow.

"i want a belly button piercing." i told her.

her eyes lit up. "ou, that'd be hot as hell."

"indeed." i grinned.

"maybe you could find one to match mine." she smirked.

"i'd be down."

"here, i'll call him real quick and see when he has a free space."

she pulled her phone out and called someone. they talked for a few minutes before getting off of the phone.

"he said that he has a free space tomorrow at 4:30." she told me.

"alright. i'm excited." i grinned.

///

"why do you keep doing this, addy? you're hurting me." she cried.

"you're hurting me!" i tried to say, but no words came out.

she walked over and got in my face. "why do you hate me? what the fuck did i do?!"

i tried to reply, but again, nothing came out. i just had to sit there and listen as she yelled at me.

"i bet you fucking cheat on me all the time, huh? is it because i'm not enough? huh? am i not good enough for you, addison?" she spat.

i gasped as i woke up and sat up. i clutched at my chest as i tried to even my breathing out.

ever since maddy came back, i keep having these nightmares about her. it's like every time i close my eyes, she's there.

i hate it so much.

"baby?" billie called out sleepily. "why are you up? are you good?"

i looked down at her. she had her red lights on, so i could see her. "i had another nightmare."

she frowned before pulling me down into her embrace. she kissed the top of my head. "listen, you're okay, alright? as long as i'm here, no one can hurt you. okay?"

"okay," i nodded against her chest. "thank you. i love you."

"i love you too," she kissed the top of my head. "so, so much."
