Come Away.

Blame

Billy and Marlowe would go back and forth of being close and then not close. He would just push Marlowe away, cause if he lets her in. Billy would feel like he would lose her. Marlowe wouldn't push him and she understands most of the time that Billy is mostly full of himself at times. Acting all big and not scared of anything. Knowing that he isn't Marlowe would ignore his big man insecurity.

Marlowe at her locker talking to Steve about going to see a movie with this new date that he had, since him and Nancy broke up. "Come on cuz, we can ear popcorn and have ice cream after the fact."

Marlowe took her books out of the locker, then shuts it. "Steve, I can have one or the other. I really don't care, I just need to know."

"Alright we shall have ice cream after or before the movie. We'll talk more of it later." He put his sunglasses on as he was leaving for his next class.

Marlowe chuckles as she heads to her next class. Billy was talking to Tommy and some girls, Marlowe smirked as she walked by them, Tommy mad a 'moo' sound as she walked by. With a scoff coming from Marlow she smiled. Walking back to them.

"Oh I'm sorry where you talking to me? Because the last time you "mooed" YOU ended with a broken nose. Would you like something worse be done?" With a big grin on her face. Billy wasn't sure if he wanted to laugh or be mad that she was threatening his friend.

Tina got in Marlowe's face. "Was that a threat against my boyfriend?"

With a smirk. "Oh he's your boyfriend?" Being sarcastic. "I thought he was your bitch, cause all the errands that you need and I heard it wasn't much."

Tina was about to hit Marlowe but Tommy stopped her. "Not here babes. You'll get detention again, your mom will be pissed."

Pushing it some more. "Awe you care about her? Because I heard your fucking around Thomas."

Facing Marlowe he spat in her face. "I wouldn't be talking cunt."

Whipping away the spit, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, I figured you say that since you were over two nights ago." Tina almost made another swing but hit Billy instead to stop the fighting.

Bell rings as Marlowe waved goodbye before it went somewhere. Marlowe wasn't afraid of Tina, Tina bearly hits anyone and when she does it never hurts. Cause Marlowe and Tina did get into a fight, and Marlowe won.

By the end of the day, Billy awaits for Max to come to his car, while Steve did the same with Marlowe. Marlowe came out of the school, keeping an eye out for Tina in case if she came out of no where and wanted a fight. To get to Steve's car Marlowe had to pass Billy's. Blowing out his smoke from his cigarette as Marlowe passed him. Before she got to far he shouted at her.

"Are you proud of yourself?" Sounding angry.

Marlowe held up her finger, to tell Steve that she'll be there since, Steve was watching her. Turning to face Billy. "Proud of myself?"

Pointing to his right eye. "This? For real?" Just before Max came to the car.

Marlowe slowly nods. "That. I'm sorry California I should had make sure that you are okay."

"No your not, you pushed her."

Rolling her eyes. "Pot talking to the kettle." Showing that she did care and didn't want Billy to be hurt. "I'm truly am sorry that she hit you. Really." Wanting to say more to him, deciding that Marlowe would hold her tongue.

Billy being Billy, he was pissed. "All you can say is you're "sorry"?" Max showed up, he looked at Max. "Get in the car shit bird."

Marlowe groaned as she rubbed her forehead. "What do you want me to do Billy? Have you punch me? An eye for an eye? What?" Marlowe could see that their friendship wasn't going to last.

"No, but how about not messing with my friend girlfriend."

"Oh right!" Being sarcastic. "I started the whole thing!" Snapping her finger. "Thank you for the reminder." Walking away from Billy as she flipped him off.

Billy wanted to go after her, Max honked the horn cause Neil wanted them home on time cause they had plans. He want going to do anything to Marlowe other than just talking to her. Getting into the car driving off after Steve.

In Steve car, Steve glanced over to his cousin who was a little bit upset. "What happened?"

"Billy just being fucking Billy." Muttering as she crossed her arms against her chest. Holding back the tears that she wanted nothing to do with.

"I told you he's up to no good."

"Like I've been telling you about Tommy and Tina wee up to no good and yet you didn't listen?" Snapping at Steve. Shaking her head as Marlowe sighed. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Moving passed this. Does granny know about your plan?" Steve stopped at the stop sign.

"Yes. I told her and our aunts and uncle. They seemed to be happy and proud that I'm taking my life back." A headache was forming. Rubbing her head as Marlow closed her eyes.

"Good." Even though those weren't really his aunts and uncle. But since Steve and Marlowe are so close they let Steve call them aunt and uncle. "Do you know when you have the surgery?"

"Hopefully in five months. If all my doctors agree that I'm doing good I should be all good." Marlowe gladly said.

Steve began to drive again as he heads to granny's house.

Billy arrived home with Max, Billy started to work out as Max was doing her homework, awaiting for their parents to come home from work.

After his work out, billy put some ice with a wash cloth in top of it, putting it on his face. When this family dinner date was over he will get payback.
