Slow fade

I heard a knock on my door and told them to come in. It was bill he came and sat on my bed. " so I've been talking to this girl and we're going out today. I hope you'll like her."

" oh what is she like?"

" she's down to earth, and so kind. Y'all are similar in some ways. I think you might actually like her. I know how you are with new people so I'll understand if it takes you some time to get to know her."

" thank you well I hope you have fun."

" I also wanted the say the band is going on a four month tour. I know it's last minute but we leave tomorrow. I would love it if you would join us"

" I'll think about it if I come down with my bags packed tomorrow then you'll have your answer."

Bill hugged me and walked out of my room. I've never liked hugs but bills were so comforting and it felt nice to have someone to hug.

I heard the door close down stairs which told me that bill had left. He would make a good boyfriend. I personally didn't believe in relationships for myself. I knew I would never get in one because I would just end up hurting them or it would they would hurt me.

I sat on my bed and started reading one of my favorite books. I've always enjoyed reading because I could put myself into the story and pretend I had a different life. I always hated it when they ended.

I heard the front door close which confused me a little but then I figured it was probably just their dad coming home. Then I heard toms door close and a girls laugh and I knew it was Tom that came home and not their dad.

I tried to concentrate on the book but all I could hear was a girl moaning which irritated me. He knew other people lived here so why couldn't they have just gone to her house. I Slammed my book shut and walked outside of the room to try and get something to eat.

I saw that there was some fruit so I cut them up and placed them in a bowl. I went to the couch and turned the tv off to try and drown out their nosies. I turned it up some more and finally their noises were drowned out.

The show I was watching was actually pretty good. I loved watching true crime and trying to figure out the timelines. I watched the first half and already knew that it was the neighbor but I had to wait and see if I was correct.

" hi piggy"

I turned around to see that it was Rachel that was talking to me. He had the audacity to bring her here after what happened at the party. Was he twisted in the mind? I turned back to face the tv to try and distract myself from what she use to say.

" hey piggy I'm talking to you!"

She had gotten closer to me and didn't stop until she was right in front of me.

" Tom what is she even doing here? You know she's just a waster right?"

" yea I know but bill is trying to be her friend and she is staying here for a little bit. I didn't get a say so in the decision."

Was he serious right now. He didn't know my story but it still hurt to hear those words coke out of his mouth. He at least knew I had a hard life.

" her dad probably had enough of her. And bill has a challenge on his hands because I tried being her friend once and it was the worst years of my life."

Tom grabbed her hand and walked her towards the door. When I heard the words that she said I knew it was probably time. I sat up from the couch placed my bowl in the sink and went up to my room.

They'll be gone tomorrow then I'll put this all behind me. I was so done with trying to be happy when I'm reality it was pointless.

Bill pov:
I was on my date with Ansley. She was such a beautiful girl and I had always wanted to get to know her but I was always so nervous. Being in a band can have its perks but it also means people only use you for your money or fame.

As the date kept going I knew she wasn't one of those. In fact when I told her I was in a band she didn't even know. She thought we were just some local little band. I didn't say anything because I wanted to make sure she was with me for the right reasons.

"I had fun with you today Ansley I'm so glad I got the courage to ask you out."

" me too I always thought you were handsome but now that I know you personally it makes me like you even more."

I grabbed her hand and led her to my car. I drove her to her house and she thanked me for today. We even planned a date next week. I was so excited to go home and tell Presley everything. I think she'd be happy for me and I think the girls would make good friends eventually.

Me and the guys had a little tour we were doing for about 4 months and I really wanted to ask Presley to come with us. I figured she might like getting out of the house.

I finally arrived at our house and out the key in to unlock the door. I saw Tom sitting on the couch watching something on the tv.

" hey is Presley in her room?"

" yea she went up about 30 minutes ago."

I headed to her room and knocked on the door. I didn't get a response so I knocked about three more times before I just opened the door. I found her asleep on her bed so I decided to leave it until she was awake.
