Come Away.

Party

Leaving Marlowe, Billy went home after he ate some dinner. He picked at what Granny had fed him. Changing his clothing, Billy went to go pick up Cat since she had asked him to pick him up. At the party Steve was there drinking a beer while Nancy too was drinking.

Billy kinda looked for Marlowe, hoping that she did change her mind. Sadly she didn't. Billy started to drink a little bit and then Cat started to come on to Billy. Billy being Billy got a little turned on. Both being turned on by each other Marlowe did show up, but not to the party to party, Steve was there having a time of his life, but something was going to change that outcome.

Billy and Cat were started to fool around as the door swang open it was Marlowe and Billy locked eyes with her. "He's not here. Sorry California." Shutting the door really fast. Continued looking for Steve.

Seeing Marlowe, that kinda turned Billy off a little bit. Cat could tell something was going on. "Did I do something?"

Snapping out of it. "What? No. Sorry. Continue." Cat was on her knees to undo his pants.

Marlowe finally found Steve. A girl named Janet saw Marlowe's face sadden when she had walked in on Billy. Shaking it off when she found Steve. Janet tapped Marlowe's shoulder. "What happened in that room you walked into?"

Shrugging her shoulders. "Oh just two teenagers getting it on." Then facing Steve. "We have to go. It's your dad." She whispered to Steves ear.

Both of them left, 45 minutes later Billy and Cat came out of the bedroom. Tina quickly found Cat and took her away from Billy as Tommy later found Billy. "How was it?"

Billy wasn't really paying any attention to him. "Where did Marlowe go?"

"I didn't know that cow was here." Grabbed another beer from the small cooler. Grabbing another one for Billy.

"Yeah... Maybe not." He wasn't going to spill out that Marlowe walked in on him and Cat.

Tina storms over with Cat. "Are you for real that cow walked in on the two of you?" So now it was the four of them. Tina, Billy, Tommy and Cat.

Janet overheard and cut in. "Only to look for Steve."

Tina rolled her eyes. "A sock on the door means don't come in."

"Well they left if that makes it any better." Janet left as she didn't want to get involved.

Billy called out for Janet. "Wait Janet.." Stopping as she poured herself some spiked fruit punch.

"Yeah?"

"Is she okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"I meant when she arrived at the party?"

"She didn't look like it, but something happened because Steve grabbed her wrist and they left in a hurry."

"When she walked in on me..."

"Ah so it was you!!!" Billy hushed her. Janet chuckled. "Yeah yeah. Come on your a sex magnet... Anyways she was fine after she walked in on you."

Billy didn't want to happen, with having a small crush on Marlowe. So she left, Billy couldn't do anything about it. In the back of his mind, hoping that she's okay.

Steve and Marlowe rushed to the hospital, his dad had a major heart attack. Steve loved his dad, sure his dad is a dick head and would totally cheat on his wife if he had the chance. But wouldn't cause that meant, she would leave him and take Steve with her.

Both sitting in the waiting room along with his mother. They waited for hours, when the doctor came out to tell them that he's fine and he'll live. He would need to take it easy for awhile.

Around one am Marlowe went home, Granny let Marlowe borrow the car to run and get him. Steve didn't drive himself to the party so that was great in the end. Not getting much sleep Granny was up and baking some cookies cause she'd be having a full house in a week or so.

"How is he?" Knowing Marlowe entered the kitchen.

"Alive. Rat baster. He ate to much pasta and hard candy." Marlowe sighed as she rubbed her eyes. "I'm going to bed Granny."

"Alright deary, love you."

"Love you more." Entering her bedroom, Billy was on the floor sleeping, rolling her eyes. Seeing a fresh bruise on his cheek bone. Marlowe covered him up a bit. And then sliding into bed herself with the same clothing on.

Billy hadn't woken up until after the fact. Neil was drunk yet again, thankfully Max and Susan wasn't home. He wanted to be out of the house so he left. Lift his sore body up, looking at the bed seeing Marlowe huddle up under the covers, fighting off the nightmares that she was having. Moving closer to her, whispered. 'fight them off. You are so much better then they are. Win just win.' then fully getting up from the floor and headed to the bathroom.

When he got back, Marlowe was up rubbing her eyes as she had tears coming down her face. "Move over." Moving over Billy got into bed with Marlowe. Both leaning back in the bed, wrapping an arm around her. "Just a dumb fucking nightmare."

"Hmmhm. He hit you again." Her cheek placed on top of his arm. Could care less about the alcohol and the pot that he'd been smoking.

"What a shitty night." Both of them went to sleep not thinking of the afterthought. They both still clothed. But knowing Granny, Marlowe would be in trouble.

Waking up again at six, Marlowe softly smiled seeing Billy still sleeping with his arm stretched out and his other arm around her waist holding her tightly. Knowing that this means nothing whatsoever. Then the smile stopped. Lifting his arm up and placing it on his own waist. Out of bed as quietly as she could headed to the bathroom down stairs. But before she could do that, Marlowe had to pick out fresh clothing before going down stairs.
