BILLIE
3 days later...

Fallon's been out for a few days.

She's stable, but still unconscious.

The hospital has no idea what she's done or who she is because she's out now, so that's why she could come here.

She got beaten pretty badly and I'm so worried, but the doctors say she'll be okay.

I miss her so much.

I sing to her just like I did when she got shot and I sit by her bed all day.

I just want my baby back.

"Bil, I got you some coffee."

I look up and see James with a a cup in his hand and he hands it to me. "Thanks. I need this shit to stay awake." I chuckle. "You can sleep, you know. We'll watch her." He replies as him and Owen sit down.

"I just don't wanna miss her if she wakes up while I'm asleep." I sigh. "I promise we'll wake you up if she does." He tells me. "You will?" I ask and James nods.

"Okay." I reply.

I lay down on the couch in the room and curl up. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

⚝

When I wake up, I see James and Owen are gone. I look at my phone and see a text.

james: Went home to get some stuff and feed Shark. Be back later.

I text him 'okay, see you then' and put my phone down.

I grab Fal's hand and kiss the top of it. "I miss you, baby." I sigh. "So much."

I clear my throat and start singing softly. "I don't want it, and I don't want to want you. But in my dreams I seem to be more honest, and I must admit you'd been in quite a few."

"Halley's Comet comes around more than I do. But you're all it takes for me to break a promise. Silly me to fall in love with you."

I sigh and lean over to kiss Fallon's forehead. "I love you, Fally."

I really hope she wakes up soon.

⚝

"Goodnight, Fal." I say, kissing her cheek. I know she can't respond, but I think she can hear me.

I lay down on the couch and close my eyes.

The whole night, I think about Fallon and how badly I want her to be awake.

I can't stand being away from her.

I just want my girl back.

⚝

My eyes flutter open and I look up. I look out the window to see it's bright out now.

I look over to Fallon to see her sitting up in bed with a smile on her face. "Someone's finally awake. I missed you, sleepyhead."
