Recently some horrible events have happened in your boyfriend, Bill's, life. Starting with the fact that his younger brother, Georgie, had gotten murdered.
Things weren't the same.
Before these events happened, Bill was such a happy person. He didn't care about the bullies after you both had decided to start dating. I mean, of course he cared about his friends, but he really cared about you. You would always hang out with each other, and he would take you on special dates every now and then. They didn't even have to be such a big deal, because you loved him so much that it didn't matter what you guys did. As long as you were together.
But that was the past.
And now it's different.
Bill isn't the same.
You aren't the same.
Nobody is. They never will be after these horrible incidents.
But you also had a secret.
A secret that nobody knew.
You wanted to tell Bill..but you were too scared.
-
You were currently at Bill's house, watching tv with him.
Although, he seemed so distant lately.
"You ok?" You decided to ask, turning toward him.
"Hm? Yeah. Fine." He replied.
"You sure?" You asked, concerned.
"I said I'm fine." He said, in a more stern tone.
His Voice sounded almost..scary.
"I-I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you." You said.
"Well stop! Because I'm fine!" He yelled.
You flinched, closing your eyes and slowly backing away.
Bill's face softened and turned into a more concerned look.
"W-why did you f-flinch?" He asked.
You didn't say anything.
Just looked away.
"Y-you thought I was going to hit you..didn't you.." he said, sounding ashamed of himself.
You glanced up at him, tears forming in both your eyes and his.
"w-wow. My own girlfriend thought I was going to hit her..." he said.
"I'm so sorry.." he continued, in more of a whisper tone this time.
You were too lost in thoughts to figure out what to say.
You wanted to tell him so bad.
-
About 10 minutes of silence went by, until Bill broke it.
"I-is someone hurting you..?" He asked.
Shit.
After a few seconds of trying to figure out what to say again, you just nodded, looking down."
"Y/n...who?" tears were forming again.
"M-my d-dad.."
"W-why didn't you tell me..." he said, trying his best not to stutter.
You somehow managed to get words out of your mouth.
"I-I didn't want it to come between us...a-and if he found out I told you...I'd be dead.." you said, slowly starting to break down in tears.
"this isn't right! He can't do this!" He said, with a clearly visible angry tone.
"Your not going back there." He said.
"W-What?" You asked, wiping some tears that had fallen.
"I'm not letting you go back. Your staying here, ok? I can't let anything happen to you." He said, pulling you into a hug.
You hugged back, not wanting to let go.
"T-thanks bill..."
"I love you y/n. Don't forget that."
You nodded.
"I love you too.
