Fat Girl In A Little Coat

18

I woke up on a sweaty nightmare. Billy asleep next to me, the smell of alcohol coming from him kinda stinks but it's not the horrible. I got out of bed as I looked out from the window I see the cop, drinking his fresh cup of coffee, it was still nighttime, Billy stirs in his sleep.

"What time is it?" Roughly mumbles as he's still asleep.

"It's one am."

He sat up. "Come back to bed please." Then he lies back down.

I did come back to bed.. he's out there lurking, waiting, to attack I can feel it in my bones. I try to go back to sleep, but I felt Billy's hand slowly wrapping around my body. It feel a little uncomfortable. But I hope that Billy doesn't mean too. Or is it to calm down my mind. I glanced over as his closed, like he was passed out again. Closing my eyes trying to get some rest, maybe not sleep. But some good rest.

Turning over to face him. His curly hair covered up his face, I moved his hair as a light snored. I smiled. There has to be a good person that cares somewhere deep inside. I stare at him before I truly went back to sleep.

I woke up on the floor as Billy and Steve was hovering over me as I felt like I can't breathe, why can't I breathe? They both counted to help me to sit up. "Tory you had a seizure, just try to focus on breathing." Steve rubbed my back.

How the fuck did I have a seizure in the middle of sleeping. I guess everything is possible. I stared to cough, when I can catch my breath I lied down, my breathing was back to normal. I had a freaking seizure right in front Billy. This I know Billy will tell Tommy. Go home Billy just go home.

Then sitting back up I looked at both of them. "I'm okay."

"I need to call Hopper. Sis this is getting worse."

"Steve this is the first time in weeks. I'm sure it was from the stress from last night." I don't want to go back to the hospital or the insane asylum. I was already there once when no one believed me about my father. I was there for two months and was punished for that even more. I learned with him. Keep the trap shut.

Only Steve knows that, everyone that I went on a trip. Which I guess I was grateful for that lie. Well if he didn't want to get caught that is.

"I wanted to beat the living shit out of him." Steve mumbles.

Billy didn't say anything to Steve about the guys last night, thankfully because I think Steve would lose everything. Sat up again. "I know you did. And I'm glad that you didn't. Steve could you make some coffee please?"

"Yeah."

I moved up to the bed as Billy kinda helped. Thank God I wasn't naked. Learned that lesson along ago.

"You scared me."

"I didn't do it on purpose."

Billy sat next to me. "No... That's not what I meant. At first you stopped breathing.... I shook you, screamed out your name. When I went to call out for Steve, when we came back into your room. It started to happen. " He looked down at his hands. "I thought, we had lost you. Then you started seizure. I would rather you have that then die."

You can't get close to him Tory you just can't. When he find out all the truth about you and more. He wouldn't want to be with you or near you. "I'm sorry Billy that I scared you. I'm fine now, overly sleepy but fine."

"Does this mean your home for good?"

"Yeah."

Putting his jacket back on. "Your a fighter, you might not think that you are. But you are." Then his boots.

Of course he's leaving good you can read my mind. But my heart wants you to stay. "Do you want to stay for breakfast?"

"Nah, my shitty dad will be looking for me if I'm not home." He walked out of my door. I closed my eyes. Remember it for the best that you scared him off. He will have a better life without you in it Tory.

Steve brought coffee up. Handing over the coffee. "What after staying over he just gets up and leaves like nothing happened?? Total asshole."

"He needed to go before his dad went looking for him."

"Did the two of you actually sleep with each other?"

"If you mean sex, no. He just stayed just to make sure that 'THIS' wouldn't happen." Meaning the seizure. I took a sip of coffee. "Thank you by the way."

"For what?"

"Coffee and not killing Billy."

"Yeah, well you're welcome."

"And besides Steve, it's for the best that he did leave."

"Why do you say that?"

"I don't think both of our hearts can take another heartbreak." Meaning mine and Billy's.

Steve came over to sit with me. "Any guy is going to be lucky to have you in their life sis. I just don't think it will be Billy this time around. The way he acts, he needs time to grow up." He did his best to cheer me up.

"Yeah, I think so too."
