"Stu you can't just say shit like that!" She yelled smacking him in the chest. Stu huffed out of annoyance shutting the door behind himself. The brunette in front of him had been on his case since the comment about killing their waiter Mickey was made. 

He had tried to dial the situation by making jokes and taking back the sentence, but Valarie wouldn't let it go.  

"God, I just wished that you would think sometimes. You have multiple murders on your ass, and you can't just make loose jokes like that!" Billy, who was ahead of the two, was nearing his final nerve. "Don't you fucking talk like that!" Valarie turned around from Stu to face the other who was now sitting on the couch. 

"Or what?" She clenched her fists. "You gonna kill me?" Billy's eyes darkened. "Because honestly, at this point I'd-" She was cut short by an arm wrapping around her throat. Val's eyes shot from the roof back to Billy as the terrors of that night blurred her thoughts. "At this point what? D'you want us to kill you?" Stu asked whispering into her ear. She clawed at his arms trying to relieve some pressure and get some air. "Answer him, Val..." Billy stood up. 

He slowly made his way to the kitchen, grabbing a large knife from the block. She gasped and groaned as the girl slowly lost her sight. Billy watched as she pulled and tugged around in Stu's grasp. A few tears began to fall down her red face. 

She had to think safe. Most girls her age didn't have to make life-changing decisions as she did. Stu laughed as she eyed the weapon. "You're crying again, Angel." 

The nickname came back and she couldn't help it as her muscles locked up. "So what is it? Do you want to die?" Billy traced the knife along her blue jawline. 

With what remaining strength she had left, she shook her head 'no'. "Good," Billy smiled and Stu let go. Valarie dropped to the ground and grasped at her throat, taking in large breaths.

Stu let out a chuckle as the two of them moved back to the couch. The knife rested on the coffee table, just in arms reach. "Fuck..." She grumbled holding at her neck. 

They turned the TV on and began flipping through the channels. "Oh! Look, baby, you're on the news again! Come sit down and watch!" Stu looked over at her pretending that nothing had happened. "Fuck you both," Val mumbled taking off to her room.

This was the second time one of them confronted her in her room. Just this time it was Billy instead of Stu. "Hey, Val?" He poked his head through the door. She avoided looking at him, not wanting him to know that she had been crying for the past hour. 

"Valarie?" He opened the door completely. "Hey," She greeted wiping her eyes. He held himself back from running over to her and engulfing her in a hug when looking at her bloodshot eyes. "Listen, I'm sorry for that shit, it was out of pocket, and I shouldn't have ever played into my emotions like that."

Val nodded wiping her nose with her sleeve as Billy apologized. He moved closer to her and squatted down. His hand brushed against her skin as he brushed her hair behind her shoulder. "What the fuck..." His voice was deep and caught her off guard. "What?" He gently pulled her closer to him as he observed her neck. "That mother fucker." 

Red marks crossed her skin, luckily they weren't anything serious, like the bruising she experienced in October, and would probably be gone within another hour.

Billy stood up and turned going to rush out the door but Valarie stopped him, grabbing him by his hand, and pulling him into a kiss. His once tense body began to chill as he kissed her back. He felt complete.

Billy leaned into Val further, slowly laying her down on her bed. He moved backward to admire her face once more. "I will never be able to tell you just how beautiful you are..." 

"Then show me." She smirked dragging a hand down his chest. Billy smiled and leaned in biting, and kissing the girl's neck. "But what about Stu?" The boy pulled back with a sly smirk. "Let him hear."

Officially done with another chapter! I'm not exactly sure if I want to add smut or anything to these chapters, I may just continue eluding to it without actually writing it, but if you are looking for that kind of stuff, let me know, and I can integrate it into my writing.

Thanks!
