Halley's Comet

Forty Four

February 10
Los Angeles, California

"Kiss me" Billie whispers to me as we lay in her bed, tangled in the sheets. I smile and gladly press my lips to hers.

Anything for you my love

"I can't believe we are here" She mumbles against my lips as we pull away. I look her confused and brush her wet sweaty hair out of her face gently.

"What do you mean?"

She shrugs her shoulders with a soft smile. "I never thought I would be so in love with a person like I am with you Halley Comet." She tells me in a soft voice. I could only smile and peck her lips once more.

"You have no idea the kind of hold you have on me." Holding her close to me, I stare at her with only love in my eyes. "I love you Billie O'Connell"

"And I love you Halley Comet."

"Maggie I have missed you so muchhhh" I drag out as I hug the older woman who laughs at my words. "Don't leave me again."

Maggie and Patrick took a early valentine's day vacation. They been gone almost a month and I have missed them dearly especially Maggie who has slowly became like a second mom to me.

"I have missed you too dear. How have you been?"

I smile as Billie invades my mind like always. "I have been amazing Maggie. Truly happy I would even say."

Before she can respond, a messy haired Finneas walks into the kitchen, yawning. "Good morning ginger." I grin and he gives me a half wave. "Sleep well?" I smirk lowly at him making him flip me off.

"I slept amazing how about you and Billie?" He asks raising a brow at me making me shrug in response.

"You tell me."

Maggie then hits the both of us in the back of our heads. "That's just disgusting you two and in my presence." She playfully scolds us making the two of us mutter a quick apology.

"Ma she started it" Finneas defends while I roll my eyes.

"I was just asking a question not my fault you took it a different way." I say just as the two ladies of our life enters the room. Billie, wearing an old shirt of mine, yawns lightly as she walks over to me.

I see Finneas flip me off again as the sweet smell of vanilla invades my senses. "Hello beautiful" I mumble against her skin as I kiss the nape of her neck gently.

"Hi" She replies shyly as she smiles at me. She stands in between my legs as she turns her attention to her mother who was making a cup of tea.

"Mom how was your trip?"

"Honestly perfect. Your dad is full of surprises I would say" Maggie says with a small smile and blush on her cheeks. Finneas and Billie instantly gag while I laugh. "Ew mom" Billie mutters making her shrug her shoulders with another smile.

"That's disgusting" Finneas tells her and Claudia rolls her eyes at her boyfriend.

"Oh please like you two weren't just hinting at your love lives two minutes" Maggie says pointing at me and Finneas. My eyes widened as Billie looks over at me while Claudia cuts her eyes at Finneas.

Maybe if I don't look at her, she won't say anything.

"And what exactly were you two saying?" Billie asks as she crosses her arms over her chest.

"Uh nothing" Finneas replies scratching the back of his neck. I decide to just not say anything and sip this tea Maggie made us.

Maggie scoffs and turns around to grab something out of the fridge. "Last night and I thought I told you two to not have sex in my house." She says to Finneas and Billie whose eyes widen. Billie cuts her eyes at me and I try my best not to look at her angry eyes.

"Well that's my cue to go" I say quickly as I jump out of my seat only to be stopped by my girlfriend grabbing me by the back of my shirt.

"You sit your ass down"

I'm too young to die!

"I'm thinking about getting a new place" I tell Billie who hums in response. Sitting in the seats of my car, my eyes move over to her as she stares down at our joined hands.

"Why so?"

I suck in a breath before speaking. "I been thinking about us lately and I" I pause as she raises her head and looks at me deeply with those blue eyes of hers. "I was wondering if you wanted to get a place together"

"You want me to move in with you?"

I nod my head and Billie instantly smiles. "Oh baby of course." She leans over and gathers me in a deep kiss. "Oh my god we can go look at houses together" She gushes making me laugh.

"Well how about maybe an apartment or a townhouse for now?" I suggest and she nods her head.

"Sounds perfect" She mumbles before her lips find mine once more. When we pull away, Billie wastes no time in talking about the type of place we should get and how we should decorate it. I could only stare at her with a bright grin.

This is what I love about Billie. She is always easily excited about things and it is the cutest thing ever. When she is excited about something, she could go on these little rants about it for hours and I will always be there to gladly listen to them.

We sit there for the next hour talking about ideas before Finneas calls her suddenly. We both grow confused because Maggie and him are suppose to be at dinner right now.

"Hey Finn what's up" Billie listens to what he says before her face completely changes in the worst way. Her eyes prick with tears and they fall like a flood.

"Baby what's wrong?" She hangs up on Finneas and looks at me with the most heartbreaking look one could make.

"Mom was shot."
