Don't Call Me Baby (Billy Hargrove)

-Chapter forty three-

Emilia

Anna is a compulsive liar, and I didn't realize how much of a liar she was until tonight. I've seen her lie in some classes, to the teachers and some of her friends, she just says little white lies when they benefit her. But right now, she was telling lies that's currently getting me in deep shit, so while she's busy going for a Oscar nomination for best actress, Billy's dragging me off to somewhere secluded to growl me for something I didn't do.

'Why is she crying Emilia?' Billy hisses as he shuts the door of the bedroom we're currently talking in. It was relatively big, and looked clean, plus had alot of family pictures framed, it had to be whoever hosted this party's parents room, but right now that was the least of my concern.

'You tell me' I say as I fold my arms across my chest, Billy runs a hand through his blonde hair and exhales heavily.

'I'm going to ask you again, why is Anna crying?' Billy questions, his tone sounding more agitated as the seconds tick by, and I maintain my solid position as Billy steps foward.

'I have no clue as to why she's crying Billy' I say and he lets out a laugh of disbelief before he shakes his head, causing me to frown at his response.

'Well, she told me that you called her a bitch when she bumped into you, and then when she tried to apologize, you rejected her apology and went on to insult her' Billy says and I almost gasp at the information, it was the complete opposite way around.

'Why in the world would I do that to her, I'm not mean. Besides, I barely know her Billy' I argue back causing him to give me a 'Oh really' look before he opens his mouth to argue back.

'So what's up with you and her fighting over the front seat, you barely know her huh, so why act like a child when it comes to my car?' Billy says and I unfold my arms, he was starting to get on my nerves.

'It's a respect thing Billy, she acts like she was here before me' I say and he laughs sarcastically at my statement before shaking his head.

'You're immature Emilia, she's my friend, Anna is my friend and you need to get over that, remember how you constantly nagged me to let you stay close to Steve and Jonothan, knowing fully well that I was jealous. This is exactly the same, I learnt to live with that, so you learn to live with this-' Billy rants, raising his voice as his anger starts to get to him, and before he can even lash out at me, I cut him off with my own outburst.

'She's using you Billy! She's doing it for popularity, all of it, the car rides, the conversations, her uncle's car, it's all so she can get close to you so you can make her popular at school! I heard her in the hallway, and the reason she's fake crying is because I threatened to tell you about her lies, she's not your true friend Billy!' I shout, the frustration that had been built up over these last two weeks finally showing and I watch as the anger on his face drops.

I expected him to perse his lips, brush his hand through his blonde hair like he usually did when he's stressed, and pull out a smoke so he can clear his head. But he didn't, he reacted far from what I expected and it was like a punch in the stomach.

'You're lying, I know Anna, she's shared secrets with me that are so intimate I wouldn't tell another soul if I could, she's like my other half Emilia, she's like a sister I never got. You made her cry Emilia, you insulted her and hurt her feelings-' Billy starts but I cut him off.

'Billy, I'm not lying! You're seriously believing her, a girl you've only known for a month, over me, your girlfriend who's supported you with everything?!' I exclaim, the hot tears pricking at my eyes as the betrayal gets to me slowly, and they just press harder when Billy lashes out.

'Emilia I'm not fighting with you on this! Bottom line is, you made her cry, and when I tell you to tell me what happened, you lied to me, multiple times, and until I get her side of the story, I think we need to take some time apart...for a few days at least' Billy says as he calms down, lowering his voice at the end of his sentence. I let out stray tears and I wipe them away angrily as I shake my head.

'You say I'm your main girl, but you won't even believe me' I sob out as I continue to cry, but Billy sighs heavily before turning away and brushing his hair back.

'Just go Emilia' He says coldly and I stare at him for a few seconds, searching for any remorse or change of heart, but there's none. So I turn on my heel and push my way through the people, avoiding the stares of curiosity, and just tried to get out of the house to clear my head and think of how I was going to get home.

So I find myself sitting on a medium sized feild of grass, close to the pavement beside the house party with my knees tucked up and my arms cuddled around them while I sob into my sleeves. She ruined everything, she was rude first and insulted me, then she sabotaged my relationship with Billy, now I don't have a ride home and I'm scared he hates me now.

He didn't trust me, he thought I was lying and took her side over mine. It was like a slap to the face, and was a nice reminder that a girl who barely came over a month ago, had my boyfriend tangled in her web of lies and had him hypnotized to the point where he took her word over mine.

It was either that, or Billy was just stupid and my guess was for the second one, he basically broke up with me over her, well technically broke up with me, he still wanted a break, and maybe that's how he's been feeling for months now, maybe he wanted a break awhile ago but didn't want to tell me, and took this the perfect opportunity to break it to me.

I hated this, this whole night has been a disaster and I'm the one who's had to pay for Anna's lies. I felt like running her and Billy over, but if he wanted to be blinded by her lies and false friendship, then so be it. He wanted a break, so I'll give him one, he was the least of my concerns right now.

So I'm sat here for another good twenty minutes, my sleeves getting damper by the minute while I wipe away my tears, only for new ones to replace them. I was a mess, and I tried to calculate the chances of me getting a ride home from a stranger, and how long it would take me to walk home, which seemed like it would take half a day. But before I could feel sorry for myself even more, I feel the grass beside me move and I inhale the familiar cologne, I know it's him by the way he exhales heavily and repetitively brushes his hair back.

It's Steve.
