Billys POV

I see Jessie knocking on my window with a slight bruise forming under her eye. Most of her bruises from her father had faded a bit so this one was pretty noticable.

I roll down my window "hey Jess.." i say looking down. "Billy, i know that you didn't mean to hit me. I really do appreciate you warning Steve and that was on him but when i saw you get off him when you realized u went to far. That was the most i have ever respected you."

Jessie's word went deep. "I'm so fucking sorry Jess i was so pissed at Steve i didn't even realize that it was you. I'm so sorry." I say kinda stuttering. " Billy it's ok I'm fine, but I'm still mad at u for cheating." She said. "Yea yea that's understandable. Again I'm so so sorry for everything and i understand if you hate me." My voice cracking a bit

"Billy Hargrove i could never hate you." "Wait what? Why I'm so.... Hateable." I said not even sure that's a word. "Not to me, come out here." She said gesturing outside.

I stepped out and dug in my pockets for a cigarette. I lit one up and offered one to Jess and she accepted. I light hers and we both take a drag. "Steve is so fucking dead." She says looking at the ground. " I bet" i say with a bit of a chuckle. "Billy listen to me. I'm giving you one more chance. Ik i shouldn't but my heart is telling me to." She said i quickly look at her in surprise.

"Jess are u sure???" I say making sure she's not messing with me. "Do u not want the chance?" She said messing around. With that i pick her up and hug her so tight that i never wanna let go. " Thank you Jess Evans."
"Of course Mr. Hargrove." She says with a little laugh.

"What are u gonna do about ur dad??"
I say worried. "I'm staying at the wheelers rn. So we will see. I'm just scared he's gonna start taking his anger out on George." Say said looking down again.

"That's why i haven't left." I said thinking of max. "Wait what?" She asked looking up at me. "If i leave Neil will hit max and i can't do that to her even if she is a little shit. She doesn't deserve that." I muttered.

"You really care about her dont you?" She asked "of course i do, Max may be a pain in the ass but she's just a kid who's been through some shit just like me. I'm not going to let her go through the physical pain i went through. I wish i could have saved her from the mental stuff."

"Wow billy, i thought you hated her. But wow." She says "yea tbh i thought i did to"
