The cold disgusting air made Billie shiver badly. She hoped Matthew would do something to keep her warm. She knew he was punishing her but being left to freeze was absolute torture. She tried to use the blanket but it was so thin it did nothing to keep her warm. She was also hungry and was worried about the baby. She really needed Matthew to care for her, she wanted this baby. She grabbed the chain and hit it against a metal pole hoping it would annoy Matthew and he'd come down to the basement. Thankfully it worked. "What Billie?!" He seethes. "We're hungry" she says softly. He sighs in annoyance and goes back upstairs. A few minutes later he comes back with a slice of bread. He basically threw it at her. "M-Matthew this isn't enough my baby needs more, there's a really good chance it could be yours" she says. "Yeah well there's also a good chance it isn't because you went out and whored yourself around so truthfully I don't fucking care about it!" He spats. Tears filled her eyes hearing him say something so awful. Cheating wasn't ok but being abused definitely wasn't ok. He angrily went back upstairs.
Billie sighed but ate her bread hoping it would hold the baby off until Matthew actually fed her. She was so nervous he'd kill her precious unborn child. She sighs and curls up under the thin blanket. She hoped Jesse would figure out some way to save her. She knew he would be so excited that she was pregnant. He told her he wanted to have babies with her so many times. She smiled at the thought of their perfect little family. Her smile turned to a frown though, she was trapped in Matthew's house and she had no choice in the matter. She wanted to break up with him so bad. She imagined a happier life without him in it. A life where she wasn't covered in bruises and scars. A life where she was Jesse's wife. A life where everything was perfectly ok. "H-He may of ruined me but I'll never let him ruin you" she spoke to her stomach lightly caressing it. She laid down hoping she'd fall asleep to pass time.
Jesse frantically looked for solutions to find Billie. Something just wasn't adding up. Her purse and phone weren't at the house meaning she had purposefully left. He had no idea why because she had been terrified to leave. He hoped he didn't do something to upset her. Even if he had he really didn't think it would cause her to leave. His heart was broken knowing his whole world was missing.
Billie woke up feeling a hunger pang. She whimpered in pain realizing Matthew hadn't come back. This was torture and she felt scared. She didn't want her body to go through anything else especially with a tiny human growing in her belly. She wished he cared more and was more careful but unfortunately she was locked in a cold basement left to starve. She didn't regret cheating on Matthew it felt good actually, she proved to herself that she deserved better. She deserved Jesse and a life of happiness. Suddenly she hears footsteps coming down the stairs. Her heart immediately started beating quickly. Matthew came over to her undoing her chain. She said nothing but followed him up the stairs. She hoped he was going to feed her. When they made it upstairs she was relieved to see dinner on the table. "C-Can I eat?" She asks softly. "That's why I made it dumb whore, I can't risk killing a baby that could be mine" he spats. She goes to sit down and eat. He sit across from her eating too. "I've decided that we're moving to New York" he says nonchalantly. Billie nearly choked. "W-Why?" "Because I will be working there and I want to raise our child there" he responds. She nearly cries. She won't be anywhere close to Jesse if they move. "O-Ok" she replies. They ate in silence and Billie held back from sobbing. After eating he took her to the shower. "Clean up you're disgusting" he spats. Thankfully he left her to shower on her own.
She took her time enjoying the warm water. It felt good to be clean again. When she was done she realized she had to go back to the basement. She immediately started crying not wanting to sleep on the cold mattress. "Why are you crying?!" Matthew spats. "I-I don't want to sleep in the basement" she sobs. He sighs, "You don't have to sleep down there but you have to be a good girl if I let you sleep in bed" he says. She immediately nods her head yes. She didn't know why he was being so lenient but she wasn't complaining. She crawled into bed curling up under the warm comforter. Matthew soon joined her. She was so exhausted that she immediately fell asleep.
The next morning Matthew woke up and immediately looked over at Billie. He actually had pity for her. He had been mean and abusive. Now she was pregnant and it could possibly be his. He felt like he needed to protect her. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. He fixed the blanket making sure she was covered up and comfortable. "I'm sorry Billie I promise to be better and be an amazing father to our baby" he whispers. He leaves the room planning out the move.
Billie woke up feeling comfortable. She immediately sat up and remembered she was in Matthew's room. He was actually nice to her but she also remembered him saying they were moving to New York. She didn't want to go. Suddenly Matthew comes in the room. She immediately winces. "Good morning my love breakfast is ready" he says. She looked at him skeptically. She got up though and followed him to the kitchen. He made a huge breakfast for them. She liked this Matthew but her heart belonged to Jesse and she needed to get back to him. She had to do it before Matthew separated them for good.
