Today Billy wasn't in the mood to get up from bed, he hasn't missed any days of school. Sleeping hard as a rock, Neil pounds the door, then the door flings right open. Billy thought to himself. 'not today, please not today'
"Hey lazy ass. You got a fucking phone call." Slamming the door right behind him.
Getting up, he head over to the kitchen like if he was sick. Picking up the phone that was left on the table. "Hello?" He said with a groggy voice.
"Billy!" It was Mr. Portland. "I need you head over to the hospital right away."
"Is she?" He didn't want to break the bad news to Max.
"Dead? No she just woke up." Looking at his granddaughter who was talking to Toni.
"I'll be over in five."
"See you then my boy." Hanging up the phone.
Billy ran fast to his room got dressed and drove off the the hospital. Running in the room, she barely awake. Her breathing was stable for now. The color of her skin back to normal. Toni stands up. "Hey glad that you made it."
"Me too."
"She's in and out of it. So if she says something, she won't remember." Toni left.
Billy sat down at her bedside. Waiting for her to wake up. Her eyes flutter. "Billy?"
"I'm here." Hi gruffy voice answered.
With a groggy voice. She asked him. "Are you doing okay?"
'why would she be asking me if I was okay' Billy thought. "I should be asking you that, than you asking me."
"Billy?"
"Yeah?"
"Just answer me."
"I'm fine. How are you feeling?"
"Like I was ran over by a train." Dry chuckle, opening her eyes, he looked rough. "You look like you got hit by one too."
Billy shook his head. "Well it's your fault that both of us look this." He teased her.
"How dare you know my plan." She caught on. "Billy I'm okay."
"I know, but I can't help but look at you to make sure that this was all a dream that I'm here stick in a nightmare without you."
"Oh hush you'd be fine without little old me." Ana chuckles. Moaning in pain she holds tight to her shoulder. Billy moved to sit on her bed as he touched her arm and that made her jump a little.
"Sorry I was trying to help."
"Billy, your hand are cold that's why I jumped."
"Well you've always said that it matched my heart."
"As a joke." She gently hits him.
The nurse came into her room and gave her some medicine that would knock her right out. But before Anastasia went to sleep. She mutters. "Don't leave me."
Those words 'don't leave me' he asked his mother to never leave him alone with Neil. Never knowing what happened to her afterwards made him sad and angry. Billy shouldn't leave her, but he already had plans to go with Shelly and a couple of other friends to go hang out at another person house. Being the ass that he is he stayed with her for two hours watched her sleep and then went to pick up Shelly.
At night time Anastasia woke up to him being gone. With the understanding of him being with another girl. No one was with her, she is used on being alone. Rolling over on her good side, along with quieting her soft cry's, that made her go back to sleep.
Partying Billy just wanted to forget everything since Anastasia was fine. He wanted to forget the dream he wanted to forget the shooting. EVERYTHING. Billy couldn't. Not having fun this go around watching them having fun. Asking Tommy to take Shelly home.
"You're not feeling good man?"
"No." Heading to his car, he drove back to the hospital. Not knowing, not understanding why. It's just were his gut was telling him he needed to be. Dragging himself to her room, she needed blood transfusion. She went into shock. It wasn't normal or common. They have seen it happens before.
Toni place a hand on Billy's back. "Hey kid what brings you by?"
"I don't know, I had a feeling I needed to be here. And to tell you the truth I don't."
"You care for her. She's your friend. I get it. Seriously you can go home." Rolling up his sleeve again.
"Wait didn't she needed that the last time?" Seeing the whole that was poked the last time.
"Yeah. When she fully woke up, it didn't go so well. That she was throwing up blood. So I'm going to do it again."
"I'll do it."
"Kid, you don't have to. I know you have work in the morning. So you can go."
"No I need too. I know I'm a shitty person, at least let me do one thing for her."
