Geek Without His Beauty

"I'm going to go back to Sidney's, please make sure all the doors are locked. And if you need anything, call me or Stu, he's not too far away." I nodded my head and looked down at the floor. Billy had come inside, went to every single room, checking every window in the house to make sure they were locked. He made sure all the doors were locked too. "Hey, do you want to tell me what happened before I leave?" He asked, standing in the kitchen door.

I looked up at him, "what's there to talk about? I overreacted," I said. He sighed and walked over to the counter where I was leaning. "What happened?" He asked. "Did he say something? Did he do something?" I let out a frustrated sigh and walked over to the fridge. "I saw him and one of the actresses kissing. She was sitting on his lap." I pulled two beers out of the fridge and shut the door.

"And it's not like I have any right to get upset. I mean I've been ignoring him for two years. He has a right to get tired of waiting and move on. Can't blame him for it, she was beautiful. I took too long with my needing space shit." I popped the tab off the bottle and took a long drink. "Were you going to forgive him?" Billy asked, doing the same thing. I thought for a few minutes before I answered. "Yeah. I mean I was going to try and give him another chance and be understanding. I was forcing myself not to pull away every time he touched me. I tried not to just ignore him when he talked to me. He slept in my bed last night."

I jumped up on the counter and leaned my head back on the cabinets. Billy stood across from leaning on the island counter, his beer was pressed against his lips as he took a long drink. "I don't fucking want or need to know about that. Are you sure what you saw wasn't a misunderstanding?" He asked.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes before jumping off the counter. "Of course you'd take his side. But whatever…it doesn't matter anyway. Tell Sid I said hi," I said and walked towards the stares. I could tell Billy wanted to say something but he held himself back. And I have no doubt it would be something to hurt me. I was only overeating and I knew that.  I went upstairs and started to strip my bed down. I needed to change the bedding, put fresh sheets and pillow cases on, and wash my duvet cover. I took everything off and threw it out into the hallway.

"Are you going to be okay if I leave you here by yourself? I can just go get Sidney and Cherokee and come back here." Billy stood in the doorway to my room while I put fresh sheets on. "No, I'll be just fine on my own." I looked up at him and he sighed. "Fine. I'm leaving then. Call if you need anything and lock–" I cut him off before he could finish. "Lock the doors. Yeah, yeah, I know." He rolled his eyes and left. After I heard the door shut downstairs I grabbed the stuff in the hall and took it to the laundry.

I sat in the living room curled up on the couch under my chunky knitted blanket watching Beverly Hills, 90210 when I heard a bang from downstairs. Grabbing the remote I muted the tv and listened. Thinking I was just hearing things I unmuted the tv and went back to watching my show. They were only reruns since the show ended a couple weeks ago but I've been watching since season one. I had a huge crush on Luke Perry and his character Dylan Mckay. I took a sip of my wine and set the glass back on the coffee table.

I was startled when a loud bang came from downstairs again. This time I know I wasn't just hearing things. I threw the blanket off and stood up. I had changed into a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt with knee high socks. I wanted to be comfortable if I was just going to lounge around the house. I slowly walked over to the doorway and listened again. I could hear someone walking around downstairs. My pulse started to race as I slipped out of the living room and quietly made my way upstairs to lock myself in my room.

As soon as my door was locked I jumped over my bed and grabbed the phone on my nightstand and dialed Sidney's number. My hands shook while I listened to the line ring. "Hello?" Sidney answered. "Sid? Where's Billy?" I asked in a whispered tone. "Right here. Is everything okay?" She asked. "I need to talk please." I heard the phone being fumbled with and then a grunt. "Yeah?"

"Someones in the house," I said. "What do you mean someone's in the house? Did you lock the doors?" I rolled my eyes and huffed out a breath. "Yes, I locked the fucking doors, Billy! I heard a banging downstairs," I said. The fear was seeping into my voice. He must have heard the panic because he changed his tone. "Alright, I'm going to call Stu and I'll be over just stay in your room and hide." I hung up the phone and went to my closet. This was so fuckig stupid and I felt like a damn child but I did not want to die today.

Billy

After I hung up with yn I called Stu. "Yo," he answered. "Get over to the fucking house now! Yn just called and said someone is in the house. She's alone," I told him. "Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm on my way!" I hung up and quickly grabbed my keys. "Is everything okay?" Sidney asked. "Just stay here. I'll be back soon," I told her. "No! I'm going with you, Billy," she said, getting up.

I didn't have time to argue with her. We rushed outside, Cherokee jumped into the back seat and I sped towards home. I got there in record time. Sidney kept telling me to slow down but all I could focus on was making sure yn was okay.

YN

I could hear footsteps walking around downstairs on the main floor. Then I heard them heading up the stairs and down the hall. The door knob on my door jiggled and I pressed myself back against the wall of my closet behind my clothes. I heard a thud like someone was tackled to the floor and then I heard, "Fuck! Get the hell off of me, Stu!"

"What the fuck, man?! What the hell are you doing here?" It was fucking Randy. I let out a frustrated sigh but didn't move. I heard loud footsteps bounding up the stairs. "Better question is what the fuck are you doing in my fucking house banging around?" I heard Billy ask. "I just got off work and I wanted to talk to yn. I didn't know you guys were here," Randy told him.

How the fuck did Billy get here so damn fast? "We weren't. Yn called Billy and then Billy called me," Stu told him. "You fucking scared her you fucking fuckrag. How the hell did you get in?" I slowly made my way out of the closet and quietly walked to the door. "The spare key that she put under the little frog by the downstairs door."

I mentally cursed myself. I forgot I put that there when we were still in high school. I could just picture the look on Billy's face right now. "When the fuck did she put that there?" He asked. Randy cleared his throat. "We're you fucking speaking in here to fuck my sister when we were still in high school?" Billy growled. Randy nervously laughed, "come on, man, that was a long time ago." I heard Stu chuckle and I had to hold back my laughter. "Get the fuck downstairs before I bust you in the fucking face."
