She's mine

52

I couldn't help but laugh at Owens and Steve.

"That's impossible. Kai is dead. He can't posses someone after he's died."

Both of them looked at me not saying anything. My smile faded once I realized they were serious.

"You two are crazy. Kai isn't possessing Billy. I would know."

Steve looked at me "nat I know your kinda freaking out right now but I'm right. I know I am."

I looked at Steve shaking my head. My tears started welling up in my eyes as I stood up.

"You- your wrong Steve. I would know if that happened. It's something else going on with Billy. I don't know what but it's not that. I would know if it was kai and not Billy."

Steve looked at me with a sad expression but he remained silent. Instead it was Owens who spoke up.

"If I may? How has Billy been since he came back? Has he been his usual self or has other things you can't quite explain been happening."

I looked at Owens and snorted slightly "so he's a little different. He went through something traumatic. It's normal for him to not be his usual self. That doesn't mean that he's actually kai."

Both Steve and Owens looked at me.

"Look all we need is for you to ask Billy a question only you and him would know the answer to. If he gets it right we move onto the next theory. If he gets it wrong then we go from there. Ask a question both kai and Billy can answer but they would give two different answers. It will tell you for sure."

I looked at Steve and sighed "this is stupid. It's not, it can't be. It can't be."

Steve looked at me nodding his head slightly as he looked at me with a sad expression.

"Think about it Nat. Billy would never hurt you. Never. No matter the circumstances. He just wouldn't. Kai would though. You find it strange that out of no where Billy cheated on you, and he beat the shit out of you? You can't tell me you haven't been thinking something is wrong with Billy."

I looked at Steve biting my trembling lip.
"Of course I've noticed shit Steve. I've been telling you all that for weeks and you all said I was making excuses because I love him. None of you believed me, now all of a sudden your telling me my boyfriend is possessed by the guy who has been trying to murder me for years."

Steve looked at me and furrowed his brows slightly. "Yeah. All we need is for you to ask him something. One thing. That's all. In a few days."

I looked at Steve squaring my eyes at him "why a few days?"

"Because we are waiting for a package to get to the lab to help. It will be here in a few days."

I shrugged my shoulders at them taking a deep breath "a few days fine."

The ride home was completely silent. Steve nor me was saying a single word to the other. We didn't know what to say. I went straight to my room shutting myself in. Steve didn't bother me. He knew I was upset.

The next few days Steve and me remained off with each other. Neither one of us knowing what to say to the other.

"Ready for your doctors appointment?"

I looked at Eddie smiling as I grabbed my jacket.

"Nice dress."

I looked at Eddie mumbling a thank you as we got into my car heading to to doctors. Steve was already at the lab.

"Are you nervous? Today is the day. You get your answers."

I looked at Eddie nodding my head. "Yeah I'm nervous. If it is kai then that means I'm the only person that didn't figure it out when I should have been the one to figure it out."

Eddie looked at me smiling gently "don't be to hard on yourself. You've been in and out of the hospital from the injuries Nat. You can't take care of yourself plus everyone else."

I looked at Eddie nodding my head. I knew he was right but I still felt shitty. I didn't want to but I did. My appointment ran late but I couldn't help that. They had to check to make sure I wasn't bleeding internally. They checked my head because I was hit so hard in it. They checked the progress of my almost gone bruises and they checked my wrist/hand/ fingers.

"Good news no internal bleeding. You head is finally healed. So no issues with that. Your healing very well natalie. Bad news is the breaks were bad. You need to get switched to a hard cast. If you continue to not heal then we are gonna have to go in and put in some pins and screws."

I looked at the doctor and sighed but there wasn't anything I could do. So they took the soft cast off and got busy with a hard cast. I chose pink and we got busy. By the time it was on and dried we were ready to go.

"Sorry that didn't go as you planned."

I looked at Eddie and smiled. "It's okay. Not your fault Munson."

Eddie smiled at me and I started driving. I was halfway there deep into my own thoughts when I pulled off to the side of the road putting my car in park and killing the engine.

"What's wrong?" Eddie asked me with a confused look. I looked at Eddie and sighed shrugging my shoulders.

"What if Billy is kai and we figure it out and get him back. What happens to us?"

Eddie looked at me lowering his head onto his seat looking at me.

"Then we stick to the plan. We never talk about what happened with us. We never tell anyone. We just go back to our old lives. Pretending that none of this ever happened."

I looked at Eddie "and you can do that? Pretend like we didn't happen. Like we never happened?" I asked him.

Eddie looked at me sighing heavily. "We have to Nat. Billy will never forgive either of us if he ever finds out. Even with the shit he's done to you. He would hate both of us until we died. He would never forgive us. You two would never find your way back to each other. I know you don't want that. You love him."

I looked at Eddie nodding my head as a tear ran down my face. "I do love him, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for you."

Eddie looked at me leaning over wiping my tears away as he stared at me. "I would be lying too. If by chance you and Billy don't work out I'm the first guy in line."

I looked at Eddie and laughed "okay."
"Okay." He countered.

Eddie and I kept looking at each other as he still had my face gently cupped. It wasn't planned but I couldn't help myself. I climbed over into Eddie's seat straddling him. Eddie looked up at me as he placed his hands on my hips.

"This is a bad idea sweetheart."

I looked at Eddie nodding my head as I bit my lip "yeah your probably right." I looked at Eddie gulping as he stared up at me. "But I can't help it. I wanna feel you one last time. I want a proper goodbye Munson."

Eddie smiled at me as he held onto my hips as he stared into my eyes. "To a proper goodbye Harrington."

I looked at Eddie smiling as I leaned down finding his lips for the very last time.
