Chapter 35

Adie: Charlie and I went to the front door and followed the noise from outside.Charlie took my hand and opened the door.An icy feeling overcame me when I saw who was standing there.It were Mike & Brian and... him.I felt how Charlie squeezed my hand tighter when he saw who was standing in front of us. I didn't know how to feel. It was a mixture of worry and anger. But a part of me has longed for this moment for a long time. After a few seconds I caught myself and noticed what was going on. Billie attacked Mike & Brian. I didn't know what was going on, but I had to intervene. *Oh no* I thought to myself. *Didn't we hear steps earlier? Was he in my house... did he see our kiss? Was that the reason for his anger?* I noticed how guilty I felt. I took two steps towards him to settle the argument, and Charlie pulled my hand lightly. He didn't liked Billie being here at all. When I looked into his eyes, I saw a mixture of fear, fear of losing me and seething jealousy. I squeezed his hand very tight and gave him a pleading look. I went to Billie, put my hand on his cheek and said "Billie, please stop ..."

It was like flicking a switch. He was like a machine and immediately stopped rebelling against Mike & Brian. He jerked around and looked me deep in the eye. Billie's eyes were blank. His beautiful green eyes were flushed and full of tears. His face was drawn in pain. He said nothing, his gaze wandered from me to Charlie and back. And then down. He saw how Charlie was holding my hand and winced again. Charlie glanced angrily at Billie, put his arm around me, and pressed me close to him to show Billie that I belonged to him. Before I could even say a word, he looked at me one last time with his sad eyes and ran away. We all stood there frozen, Mike was the only one who reacted. He looked at me disappointed and ran after Billie. "Billie, wait,” he called after him. In a few seconds both were out of our sight. Brian gave me an angry look. His eyes were watery. It did hurt him to see Billie suffer so badly. "What the hell did you do to him?" he shouted reproachfully. Charlie stood protectively in front of me and screamed back "don't dare to talk like that with my girl ..."
