Daddy Armstrong

CHAPTER 6 (SHORT)

A/N: Sorry for this short chapter, I'm working on a better next chapter. Thanks for reading!

*Billie's POV*

The kids went to bed and it was just me and Adrienne.

I put my arm around her shoulder as we sat on the couch, watching a stupid show about some Kardashian or something.

"Hey baby..." I whispered in Adrienne's ear, she giggled.

"Hi Billie Joe." she answered, looking me in the eyes. She was the only other person who could make me feel so vulnerable.

I slowly leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. She kissed back and put her hand on my chest, stopping me. "I'm not in the mood babe." she smiled, looking back and turning the tv channel.

I sat back on the couch and leaned my head on her shoulder. She mindlessly ruffled my hair as a horror movie came on. I felt my eyes growing heavy as I heard Adrienne's heart beating. She was the only other woman I would ever love.

*Ruby's POV (again)*

I woke up in a cold sweat, remembering the dream. Well, nightmare. I jumped out of bed and opened my bedroom door. I went down to Billie's room and knocked on it a few times. There wasn't an answer. Another door opened slightly down the hall. Tyler walked down to me. I was still panicing.

"Ruby? What the hell? What's wrong babe?"

I started crying and held onto him. He rubbed my back. Billie's door opened and he walked out.

"What the hell?" Billie started. He looked at me and my state. "What happened? Ruby?"

"I had a bad dream." I let go of Tyler and ran to Billie, almost knocking him down.

He caught me and rubbed my back, "What's going on?" a sleepy Adrienne walked out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes.

"Ruby had a nightmare. I think I need to talk to her alone." he took my hand and walked me back to my room. I sat on my bed, wiping away a tear. "Now sweetheart. Do you want to tell me-"

i burst into tears once again, "I-I had a dream you left me. Dad you left me and mom left me and Tyler wouldn't answer his damn phone and I couldn't get home-" I sobbed. Billie hled me close, letting me cry.

"Let it out. I've got you. I'm not leaving you." he soothed.

After about 10 minutes of crying, I finally calmed down, falling asleep on BIllie's shoulder.

*Billie's POV*

Ruby fell asleep on my shoulder, I smiled. I layed her back down on her bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead, heading back to my room. I was stopped by Tyler.

"Billie, what's wrong with Ruby?"

"She just had a nightmare. Everything is alright. Get some sleep alright?"

"Yeah..." he said, unsure of himself.

"She's okay, kid. Don't worry." I tried to assure him. I walked back to my room and cuddled in with Adrienne.

"She okay?" she whispered.

I nodded but realized that she couldn't see me. "Yeah, bad dream. Everything is alright."

She hugged me, falling back to sleep.
