Bruises// Billy Hargrove

8

I groaned as the door bell went at 3am, I paused the movie I was watching and jumped up, pulling the blanket across my chest as it walk cold. I opened the door to reveal a topless and drunk Billy Hargrove. He was shaking from the col but wore a massive smile across his face.

"Fuck same Billy." I said and pulled him in. Taking the bottle of jack daniels from his hand.

"Oo Lilly. I love you" He said and I my breathe caught in my throat.

"Come on Billy." I said pulling him into the kitchen. I wrapped the blanket around him and made him some food and coffee. He ate the food without a word.

"I told Max that I loved you. She told me I should tell you when I sobered up but I couldn't wait." He said and I went wide eyed.

"Billy did you drive here?!" I yelled rushing over to the window, seeing his car in the drive.

"I was fine." He said in defence  and I mentally groaned. He went through 3 cups of coffee before sobering up a bit.

"Billy we have to be in school in an hours time. Are you gonna be able to go?" I asked as he held his head in his hand. I rubbed his back and he sighed.

"If you're going in I'm going in. It's only fair." He said and I nodded. We sat around for a while longer until we got changed for school. Billy had a bunch of clothes here so when he stayed over he could change. I bumped into Steve and he looked me and Billy over.

"You both look like shit." He said and I pushed him back by his chest.

"Some of us don't spend hours on ourselves in the morning." Billy said towards Steve. Me and Steve both looked at Billy with a 'really' face. That boy spends at least 2 hits on himself. I decided on a green t shirt and my mom jeans. I pulled on Billy's denim jacket to complete the look. Once we were out of the house I climbed into Billy's car and we pulled out of the drive. I had my hand behind Billy's neck as I stroked the back of his neck as we drove. He was tired and obviously regretted drinking last night. Once we got to school Billy took my hand and we walked into the school. This was the first day at school that Billy and I were officially a 'couple' I placed my books in my locker and Billy smiled at me.

"What?" I asked and he just kissed me and walked away.

I had my legs wrapped around Billy's waist as he sat on his car. We made our while waiting for Max, girls would groan as they passed, knowing they couldn't get to Billy now. I smiled into the kiss and he did also.

"Jesus you two are gross." Max said climbing into the car and I laughed. Billy smiled and pulled away, placing me down. Once we climbed into the car Billy drove to his house. But as soon as we pulled up to it, I realised I had never been in Billy's house. We all got out of the car and Billy took my hand as we approached the house. Max opened the door and Billy's dad stood at the door.

"Who's this?" He asked Billy and Max smiled.

"This is Lilly." Max said and I smiled.

"Nice to meet you Mr Hargrove." I said and he nodded. He didn't even say anything else but he walked away. A woman stood by the kitchen, I'm guessing it was Susan. She flashed me a smile and I flashed one back. Billy and I made our way up to his room. Max went into her room and is at on Billy's bed.

"Now you've met him." Billy said collapsing next to me and I laid back with him. My head on his stomach. We didn't say anything for a while till it started to get a bit later.

"Come on I'm taking you home." He said and I nodded with a smile. We left the house without saying anything to his dad. We just climbed into his car and drove away. His hand on my knee the whole time.

"Hey, Hargrove." I said and he looked at me for a second before looking back to the road.

"What Harrington?" He asked and I smiled.

"I love you." I said and he looks back at me. Once we got to my house he leaned over and pressed a kiss on my lips.

"Goodnight Billy." I said with a smile.

"Goodnight Lil." He said back with a smile and a nod. I climbed out of the car and walked up to the house. I walked in and shut the door, a smile spread across my face.

"Hey you seem happy." Steve said and I grabbed a bit of chicken from the kfc box.

"I love him Harrington." I said and Steve smiled and nodded.

"I know." He said and I smiled. Steve and I sat at the table for a while, talking about Billy, Mom and dad and school. But I started to get tired. The lack of sleep last night catching up with me.

"Goodnight Steve." I said as I made my way upstairs.

"Goodnight Lil!"he yelled and I smiled. Once I was in my room I changed into something comfortable and climbed into bed, my bed smelled of Billy so the minute my head hit the pillow I was out for the count.
