Long sigh as Anastasia enters their bedroom, Billy was sitting on the edge of the bed looking very pissed. She thought it would have died down after they got home safely. Standing in the door way they both stared at each other. Crossing her arms as she began to look away. "You didn't have to act like that."
"Act like what? Scared? Pissed? Wondering if Neil got both of you?" He wasn't letting go of this.
"Billy, I left you a note saying we were at the movies. Didn't you see it?"
"I did later on. But still, I don't know how long the movie is. I wasn't with you!"
Anastasia steps into the room more so she could shut the door behind her. "I'm sorry that we scared you baby. Max wanted to do something fun and so we went. But we cannot live in fear Billy."
"Don't you think I know that? I don't care what happens to me. When it comes to you or Max... I'm afraid that he will hurt the both of you and to get to me."
Walking over to him slowly. "I get that Billy. And I'm sorry, really. Please try to calm down."
Slowly he nods his head. "I know I lose my temper fast and I'm sorry too."
Cupping his cheeks. "You are just a man worried for his woman."
Billy chuckled softly. "I guess."
Taking his hands and getting him up.. "Why don't we take a shower together, huh? And show me what it is like having a good time in shower is like hmm?"
Following her. "Just because you want me to show you something doesn't mean I'll forget."
"I know baby."
In bed, things are at peace for tonight, no bad nightmares for Billy at least for tonight anyways. Morning breaks as rain and thunderstorm began to roll in. They hardly ever get rain. Billy woke up feeling strange again like he was going to puke. Ran to the bathroom to throw up, brushing his teeth, came back as Anastasia had some sprite in a cup along with Tylenol.
"I'm sorry baby."
Slowly moving as he still felt sick to his stomach. "I'll be alright. It has to be the damn flu that is going around." Back in bed he takes the pills and sips the oj as he pulls the covers back over him.
"I guess it is a good thing that I have the day off." Touching his head. "Poor thing. I got a heating pad that might help if you want it."
"I don't know. I just want you close by." As be began to cough.
"I will be. Just try to sleep." Nodding his head, but he doesn't want to go back to sleep. His body wants to be wife awake. Something bad was happening to him and was scared to show it. It was his own demons catching up to him.
Being sick for over three weeks Timothy brought some heavy duty medicine for Billy. Out like a light, whatever it is or was, is gone. When he woke up Anastasia had left for the morning leaving Timothy and Max alone in the apartment. "Where's Anastasia?" He grunts trying to get his words out.
Timothy looks up real quick seeing Billy standing in the hallway. "My boy. You should be in bed still."
"Where is she?"
"She went to the library to gather some books. She'll be right back. Now off to bed you go."
"I need her."
"And she will be right back Billy." Getting up he went right by Billy. Billy was cold to the touch as he left his hand on Billy's forehead.
"I need her now. Please." Billy slides down the wall, as he brought his knees to his chest.
"And she will be." Timothy kneels. "Max I need you to get some warm wash cloth please."
"No... I just want Ana..." Before he passed out again.
Three hours passed as Billy sat right up covered in sweat the room had one light on as he shivers it had been dark out for the longest time. Still no Anastasia to be seen. That was it with him getting sick she had left him. Tears fall down as he soon whips them away. "No, no tears." He said to himself.
Coming into the room Anastasia was reading a book about finding missing people. Not noticing that Billy was sitting right up. Turning the page, the corner of her eye she sees Billy. Closing the book she sat right by his side. "Hey baby."
Billy pulls her close to him even though he is still sick. But he didn't care. "Please don't leave me."
Hugging him right back. "It's alright honey. Papa said that you were in need of me and then passed out." He was still shaken. Pushing him away to look at him. "I thought I had some time before you woke up. I'm sorry baby. Really I am."
"I shouldn't had acted like that. I just needed you. I don't know why." His hands are placed on her lower arms.
"Well I'm here now." Feeling her forehead as he tries to move away. "You are cold. You want me to make you soup or some tea?"
Shaking his head no. "I just want you with me. I could eat something, but that means you have to leave the room. No not yet .. Please not yet."
"Okay. Let me get changed and I'll leave the bathroom door open and I'll hold you okay?"
That he agreed too. Coming back she held him as he held her so tightly but not enough to hurt her. He listened to her heart beat until he went back to sleep. She would run her fingers through his noted hair gently as she could. Turning off the light she too went right to sleep.
