Let Me Down | John Murphy

Disappointment and Lies

Thoughts? I want to hear what you guys are thinking about Billie's character. Do we think she's truly all evil? Or, is she just misunderstood?

Comments please :)

Chapter 27

If looks could kill, both Billie and Bellamy would be dead right now.

Both liars. Both being with the letter 'b'. Both sluts. These two really are a match made in heaven. Maybe they do deserve each other after all.

Like I've said time and time again, you can NEVER trust anyone.

I don't even know what to say to them. They both lied to me. I mean, I expected it from Billie... but Bellamy? I really thought he cared about me. We're co-parents and we've been doing great at raising our daughter. I just- I really thought he cared.

I feel a tear threatening to spill from my eyes, but I shake it off before it can dance down my cheek.

I will not show weakness to either one of them.

"Quinn-" Bellamy tries, though my words fire at him before he can get a sentence in.

"You really had to go and screw this all up, didn't you?"

I'm mad beyond words. How could he?

"Quinn, I didn't know who she was," he says, failing to defend his case.

Turning towards Billie, I ignore my daughter's father for a second.

"Congratulations, Billie," I say, carrying no emotion with those words.

I take a few steps towards my twin, startling her a little.

Good.

"Good luck on pushing it out of you," I say, remembering Dawn's birth. "It'll be a joy to see you as vulnerable as I was."

I then turn away and shove past Bellamy, desperate to remove myself from the two.

I hear Bellamy race after me, clearly not reading my current emotional status.

"Quinn, wait!" he repeats over and over, yet I keep moving.

I don't need this right now.

"Quinn!"

Unfortunately for me, I'm stopped the moment his footsteps overpower my pace.

"Quinn, can we just talk for a second?" he pleads, his sadness evident on his face.

"What's there to talk about Bellamy?" I boom. "You got my sister pregnant. Congrats. You got another one coming."

I try to move away from him, but he doesn't let me.

"Quinn, I didn't plan this," he states. "I didn't even know who she was-"

"Does it really matter that you didn't know who she was? You still fucked her. Hell, you probably fucked the whole camp. Who knows who else you got preggo. I mean, most of them are dead so I guess you get let off there, but hey, Raven's still alive. Maybe you should check-in with her. She may be carrying baby number three."

"Quinn-"

"She tried to kill me, Bellamy! Several times, in fact. And what? That turns you on?"

Sick bastard.

"That was before, okay? Before any of that happened!"

"So, what? That makes it better?"

Next thing you know, Bellamy will justify Billie's reason for killing me by saying it was her 'pregnancy hormones'.

"No, of course it doesn't. That's not what I'm saying."

"No, what you're saying is that because you didn't know she was my twin, pregnancy is automatically okay. And you know what? It's fine. She's been trying to ruin my life since I met her, but no worries. I'll just sit back and watch her ruin the only family I've got."

Don't cry, Quinn. Don't cry.

"Quinn, I'm sorry-"

"Hey, don't apologise. It's who you are," I tell him. "I'm just sorry that Dawn and I weren't enough for you."

I feel another tear spilling, but my reflexes aren't quick enough to stop him from connecting to my cheek.

"Quinn, can guys are enough to me," he lies. "More than enough."

More lies.

"Yet you decided to impregnate another woman, one that is a twin, I might add. You could be a soon-to-be father of three."

I knew he didn't think of that the second I remind him of the twin thing.

Good luck, Bellamy.

"Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go save our friend," I tell him. "Try not to get anyone else pregnant whilst I'm gone... after all, that is your specialty, right?"

He doesn't say anything, he tries, but he clearly can't defend himself. 

"Have fun with your new family," I say before walking away from the man I dared to call family.

Stupid, Quinn. Believing she could have anything but disappointment and lies.

Okay, but I need a ship name for Quinn and Bellamy. Any suggestions?
