"did you take your pain killer already?" Finneas said

"Yep" I said, stuffing my face with another bite of pizza he brought

"How's Claudia? I haven't seen her in a while?" I ask casually

"Yeah, she's been in New York for the past 2 weeks. She'll be back in a few days though. Thank God, I miss her"

"Yeah me too"

"What about Billie?"

"What about Billie?" I repeated

"Do you miss her? It's been like three days?" Finneas said, trying to be nonchalant

"I know what you're trying to do, but dude I thought you were on my side!"

"Hey, I'm on neither side okay, I see you're both hurting, and I just want you guys to be okay again"

"How is she?" I ask softly

"Do you really wanna know from me or you wanna go ask her yourself?" I stayed quiet, not knowing what to do

"I know that she misses you, but she's giving you space"

I take a deep breath and wince, my ribs still hurts from that day. I grab a napkin to clean my mouth and hands before putting the rest of the pizza away.

"Hey I wasn't done eating" finneas protested

"Come on finniboi, take me to my actual home please." I chuckle referring to their house

----------------

Her car wasn't in the driveway when we both arrived at the house. Finneas tried calling her but she didn't pick up. So I tried instead

"Jay babyyyyy! Omg I've missed you so much" she says slurring her words. Great she's drunk

"Billie, where are you?" I ask softly, the loud music in the background only indicates that she's at some party. I can only hope fucking Brandon isn't there

"Zoe is having a parttyyy! Baby comeee!" I look at finneas and he just sigh, before taking us on the road again to get to Zoe's house

"Guess she's all good" I say softly to myself

"You know she's not Jay. Billie doesn't get drunk like that, she hardly drinks to begin with.  she's been locking her self in her room for the past 3 days, and not lashing to any of us. I even tried to provoke her, but she never said anything back" finneas explained.

"You can just drop me off, I'll drive Billie back in her car. Thanks Fin"

"Call me if you need anything okay?" He says through the rolled down window. I nodded and make my way to the house.

Music was blasting through the whole house, there weren't many people yet I think it's still early, but damn Billie is drunk already. I spotted her green roots from a distance and made my way straight to her.

"Omg Jay is here!!!" She squealed and ran towards me, crashing into me definitely knocked the wind outta me. Zoe followed right behind her

"Damn what happened to your face" Zoe smiles and gave me a side hug

"What happened to yours?" I laugh

"Should I take this one home?" I say pointing at Billie

"Yeah please, she's had enough. Sorry, I tried controlling her but you know billie. She kept saying that she fucked up, cried, chug and repeat. Totally switched when you called though" she laugh. 

I sigh softly and shakes my head "thanks Zoe, I'll see you next time eh?"

I brought Billie out to where her car is, and lean her back against the car. I went through her pockets to look for her car keys

"Easy now, aren't you supposed to take me out to dinner first before getting into my pants" she slurs again

"Very funny Billie" I say while dangling her car keys infront of her. I help her get into the passenger seat before getting into the driver seat myself.

She hangs her head out the window, letting the wind blow through her hair while I drive.

"Becareful there Billie" I say softly. She pull her head back in after sometime and chuckle in her seat. The drive was short, thankfully. I unbuckle her seat belt and put one arm around my neck to help her walk.

"Come Billie, I don't have the strength to carry you right now, you gotta help me a lil okay?"

Finally we made it to her bedroom. I sat her down on the bed and took of her shoes, she chuckles again.

"You care so much, why? Why do you treat me so good?I don't deserve it"

"Well Billie, you're wrong. You do deserve it" I started, while taking off her hoodie

"You gave me something I never thought I could have- a loving family. That's something I'll never take for granted" I continued while changing her into something more comfortable

"Also, probably because I'm crazy in love with you" I tuck her in and kiss her forehead

"And I know you won't remember any of this by tomorrow" I whisper softly.

I left a bottle of water and some pain killer by her bedside, and a note from me.

"Take them when you wake up -J"
