Chapter 39

Mike: After Billie & Brian calmed down a bit, I carefully tried to convince him, "Listen to me, buddy, I know it's not easy.And we're all responsible for the crap, but we should go home now..." "No!!" replied Billie decisively. "Billie, please, you were right from the start, we should have left her alone.Adie is happy, she seems to have found somebody.It's time to look ahead." Billie rolled his eyes and looked depressed to the street.Billie: "How do you know that she is happy? She didn't say it!! I want to hear it from her mouth.She should tell me that she loves him, and that I should go. *I swallowed briefly...* Mike, I can't go.I miss her, I love her.

I felt bad about pissing Billie off... "Do you need anything?" I asked worried. "No," he muttered grimly. "I'm sorry Billie, I shouldn't have insulted her. It just hurts to see you like that." "Please, I know, it's fine. I don't want to talk right now." "Okay, you better lie down. You look tired." Billie struggled to take off his shoes and lied down on the bed. I sat down next to him and gently stroked his head. He winced at first, but I noticed how the caress calmed him down... "Billie are you fine?" I asked worried while I noticed that...
