Dreamcatcher (FreenBecky)

Chapter 31: Needing each other

"What time did you get home yesterday?" Billy starts, entering with a cup of freshly brewed coffee for the brown-haired girl. He puts the coffee on the bedside table and sits down on the bed next to the girl. "I passed out almost immediately yesterday."

Becca woke up about fifteen minutes ago and all this time she just lay on the bed, twirling the ring for Freen in her hands and thinking about the end of last night. The girl is still lying on her back and watching the rays of the morning sun barely fall on the ring.

"Closer to twelve" Becca drawls, and then hides the ring back in the box.

Billy snaps his fingers in front of Becca's eyes to get her attention, and it works. Becca smiles stupidly, turns her attention to Billy and rises, assuming a sitting position.

"What were you doing there for so long?" Turner asks suspiciously, handing a cup of coffee to his sister.

Becca continues to smile, looking down and taking a sip of coffee, not wanting to tell Billy what happened yesterday, but it seems Turner has already guessed.

"Nooo" the guy drawls, slowly getting out of bed, "just don't tell me that you were with Freen yesterday..."

The brown-haired shrugs, hiding her smile in her coffee cup.

"She stopped by yesterday and we..."

"Nooo," the guy waves his hands, and covering his ears demonstratively, starts pacing around the room, "don't tell me what you did and where, please" Billy mumbles and turns his gaze to his smiling sister. "So what now? Did you make up or... what?" the guy looks at Becca, resting his hands on his hips.

Becca doesn't know what to answer. She shrugs and looks down at the cup in her hands, and the smile starts to fade from her face.

"I don't know, Billy." She answers sincerely, "What happened yesterday was necessary for both of us" Becca shrugs and smiles weakly, looking up at her brother, "we needed it so much that..." the brown-haired lets out a heavy sigh, raising her hand, "it just became easier. I think she's almost come to terms with all of this, she needs a little more time" Becca looks thoughtfully somewhere ahead at an imaginary point, thinking over the current situation.

"Well, I'm glad that everything has moved from dead point" Billy sums up. The guy gets a warm smile from his sister, and then clears his throat, changing the subject. "I wanted to ask you" Turner scratches the back of his head, a little afraid to ask Becca the next question, "would you like to talk to David?"

Becca's gaze immediately became a little harder. She begins to get out of bed, putting coffee on the table, and later heads to the bathroom.

"I was thinking about him" the brown-haired says, starting to brush her teeth "and I'll talk to him."

"Give me a spoiler" Billy smiles crookedly, standing in the doorway, "you're going to be friends with him, right? Like, you'll touch pinkies and everything will be cool? Because he's an idiot, yeah, but he loves you and we love him and..." Billy starts muttering under his breath, gesturing with his hands and Becca can't help but smile, holding the toothbrush in her mouth. Watching her worried brother.

"Billy" she interrupts him, spitting out toothpaste into the sink and rinsing her mouth, turning to Turner, "calm down, everything will be fine. I'll talk to him today or tomorrow. Now get out of here, I need to take a shower" the girl pushes her brother out of the doorway and closes the door in front of his nose.

"I love you" Billy covers, flying out of the room.
