As Anastasia awoke Max was watching her sleep with a grin on her face. "Morning sleepy head. Time to wake up." Teasing Ana. "Billy will be here in an hour." With a little singing tune.
Rubbing her eyes. "Okay what happen? Why are you so giggly today?"
"Oh me seeing you and Billy having a moment."
"Max, love. We weren't having a moment, he got into fight about some girl."
"And did he tell you what the girl name was... Hmmm?" Being a annoying little sister that she is.
Shaking her head no. "I'm sure it was about Shelly. Every guy wants to be with her at least once."
"If it was about her than he would needed the attention from her not you. Cause who wrapped up his hand? Not Shelly." Still teasing her with some singing voice.
Anastasia pulls Max on to her bed and started to tickle Max. "You need to stop it miss nosey pants."
Max giggled so hard and said. "Uncle, uncle."
Anastasia stopped as she lets Max get of the bed. Heading down stairs after getting dressed and ready. Billy picked up the girls and took them to school. So Max being Max. "How did you hurt your hand?"
Anastasia closed her eyes and wanted to badly to slap her head. If she did that Billy would know something was up. Billy answer gruffly. "Got into a fight last night."
"So it was you that I heard pulling up into the drive way. Should had known." Even though she did.
BIlly looks back at her angrily. "Do you know something that I don't." He snaps and that did make her stop asking questions.
"Billy, she is only asking. Don't be so harsh."
Slamming on the breaks and scarring them both. "I want nothing to come out of both of your mouths, do you hear me?" This morning Billy and Niel got into a fight this morning.
"Understand Billy." Anastasia was beginning to worry about him. Looking back in the back seat Max looked like she was about to cry. Anastasia smiled at her and put a hand on her knee cap. "We understand."
"Good." Billy began to drive.
Anastasia got out to let Max get out of the car. Walking fast from the car. With not looking back. Anastasia stayed behind. "Really Billy? I know she is your shit head of a sister. But it was just a question."
"She walks wants to butt in where she doesn't need too."
"Well then maybe you should stop bulling her when she needs you. Your not the only one in your family who didn't want your parents to be together. Remember that Billy."
Before storming off Billy grabs her wrist. "You don't think that I have to worry about that shit head everyday? Wondering is today the day that my father is going to hit her? You don't need to remind me." Anastasia doesn't wiggles out like Max does or anyone else. It didn't take her by surprise as well. It like she wasn't afraid of him. Letting her go she just stares at him. Pulling out a cigarette and lighting it. "What? What do you want from me?" No one else was around them. "Want me to say that I'm sorry. Fine. Tell her I'm sorry. I'm sorry for ruining her life, I'm sorry for not helping her at three am with nightmares. I'm sorry that I'm only thinking of us. I'm sorry that I can never do ANYTHING RIGHT BY THEM!"
This doesn't shock her whatsoever. Listening to him shout from the top of his lungs. Standing there just listening no fighting back not getting angry. "Billy no one is asking you to always be the good guy. And if so fuck them. You are still a kid, they think that you are an adult when you still have a life." Anastasia stayed with him for a little while when Shelly showed up. Seeing her from the corner of her eyes Ana sighed. "You just don't have to be an ass about it." Starting to walk away. "Only you knew how good you really are." With a small smile she fully walked away from him and headed into the building.
Shelly stood next to the car. "You okay Billy?"
"Peachy." Throwing his cig on the ground and stomping on it.
