Made for mercy

Break up with him?

Arms wrapped around my waist to stop me from falling. Billy stood there staring down at me, his arms encircling my waist. "Break up."
I blinked up at him. "What?" I say dumbfounded.
Billy leans downs just enough so his lips brush my ear and his hot breath sent a shiver down my spine.  "Break. Up. With. Him." His words are slow but firm. He wants me to break up with Stu. "Why? Because we kissed?" I laugh. He leans back again, just enough to see my face.
"Among more important reasons, Yes."
I search his eyes to see if he's being serious and he is. His eyes aren't his normal shade of rusty brown there darker, almost black.
"What more 'important' reasons?" I push hard at his chest and to my surprise, he just lets go.
I fall backwards onto the floor and my head hits the door hard. "Ow," I mumble. I squeeze my eyes shut as I use the door to get up. When I'm finally up I slump back against the door and open my eyes. I suck in a breathe as I see Billy, standing directly in front of me again, his arms on either side of my head, caging me between his arms. "You said 'no'."
My mouth falls ajar. Please say he's not talking about what I think he is... "what are you-" 
"He should have stopped and apologised at 'no'" He had seen, he'd saw what happened.
"Yes he should have, but that's one reason, you said 'reasons' plural." The corners of his lips twitch up, barley repressing a smile.
"Why didn't you tell him what really happened, on the phone call?" I turn my head to the side, looking away from Billy.
"My best friends had just been, murdered, I didn't want to see anyone else get hurt."
Billy's grabs my chin,  forcing me to face him again. He leans in until our noses are almost touching. A small smirk blesses his lips.
"You're a bad liar."

"I can't. I shouldn't with Stu and I definitely can't with you..." A look of confusion sweeps over billy's face, he lets go of my chin to cup my cheek with one hand. "Why not?" I take a deep breath before I talk. "You and Stu...you killed them-"
My voice cracks as I try to speak, my breathes become shallower and I can feel the tears threatening to escape from my eyes. His features soften at that as he brings his other hand up to cup my face.  "Hey. No, don't do that. You don't get to do that." A tear escapes the corner of my, sliding freely down my cheek. Cold and salty.
"You didn't kill them, we did. And if you think your gonna be happy with me or Stu then don't let our actions stop you from being happy. I killed Sidney because her mother ruined my family but I killed everyone else because I thought it would bring us closer together and it has." There's a strange warmth in hearing that. A warmth that feels so comforting and yet so terrifying at the same time. I nod slowly.
