Halley's comet

Chapter eight: Silly me to fall in love with you.

Billie has been nothing but helpful since the hospital visit, although it was a bit overwhelming, I was so appreciative of it.

Anytime I showed signs of discomfort or pain she was on it right away constantly asking if I was okay if I needed anything what can she do to help.

"Billie, honey I'm okay just a little sore still." I smiled holding her hand. She kneeled at my bed side. I was advised to be well rested meaning I was to have very limited movement other than doing small stretches here and there.

"I just want to make sure you're okay." She said softly.

"I'm just fine sweetface. just sore like I told you but nothing I can't handle." She brought my hand to her lips gently kissing my knuckles and running her thumb over them staring at me with that beautiful smile of hers.

She's also been so, so sweet to me showing me more affection than usual. Which is understandable considering I had almost lost my life a few days ago. speaking of which Jayce had been calling and texting nonstop ever since.

So much for being a 'lost cause' and being so called 'used trash'.

Billie ended up destroying my phone promising me she'd get me another one. Although I was a bit sad cause I worked my ass off to get that phone I understood her intentions. Starting off on a clean slate, no more Jayce, no more controlling behaviors, no more worrying, no more anything. I was finally at peace and best of all I was with Billie, 24/7 just like it used to be when we were young.

Zoe had been coming by too helping Billie with whatever I needed, those two were like my personal caretakers. I always will be eternally grateful for these two I seriously owed them my life.

Our little silent moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Halley, honey? there's someone here to meet you." Magge said poking her head through the door.

Oh yeah, we've also been staying at her parents' house in Billie's old room. She didn't want to leave me alone while her and Finneas worked on the album together. Work never stops for her. I didn't mind though she was doing what she loved, and I didn't want taking care of me getting in the way of that. It took a lot of convincing to do but she eventually gave in.

"Is it Zoe?" I asked confused as to why Maggie was announcing her arrival and referring her to as someone.

"It's me." Mi amor my co-worker from the coffee shop shyly said coming into view behind maggie with a bouquet of flowers. My face immediately lit up seeing her face.

"Mi amor!" I said excitedly.

"Is it okay if I hug you? I don't want to hurt you." She asked unsure stepping into the room.

"Of course, I'm not gonna break." I laughed. quickly she stood on where Billie was kneeling hugging me gently.

"I'll give you two some time to catch up baby girl I gotta feed the doggies anyways." She kissed the top of my head before leaving shutting the door behind her.

"How are you feeling?" Mi amor asked once the door was shut. I shrugged wincing at the movement. note to self. do not move so fast.

"I'm getting there I'm supposed to be resting but I feel like I'm going crazy not being able to things for myself."

"Billie seems like she's been taking care of you good." she smiled. I nodded smiling slightly.

"Yeah her, Zoe, her parents. But it's mainly been Billie whenever she's not busy."

"Seems like she loves you." She said.

"She better." I joked.

"No, but she's my best friend we've always been there for each other. I'd do the same if things were switched."
