Don't Call Me Baby (Billy Hargrove)

-Chapter forty eight-

Emilia

'Steve!' I exclaim as I feel his hands press into my hips and he lifts me up to place me on the bonet of his car. He just laughs as he sits me up on his and stands between my legs, his hands still planted on my hips while a smile is placed on his face. I look around and notice that he's staring at something, Nancy and Jonothan were just a few cars away, watching us intensely, and instinctively, I gently push Steve's hands away and move him aside.

'Hey, remember what I said. It doesn't matter what she wants, it's what we want' Steve says reassuringly and my throat runs dry before I nod slowly and let Steve cuddle me into his arms, like a loving boyfriend would.

I got home around five thirty, pulling my bag along tiredly as I passed Billy and Anna talking outside. It seemed pretty heated between the two of them, Billy had a pissed off expression and Anna looked aggiated, but I just rolled my eyes and kept walking. He is no longer my concern, and I'm definately not paying any mind to her. So I ignore them and make my way upstairs.

I spend atleast half an hour in my room, cleaning some things and sorting out my books for tomorrow. I just tried to occupy myself until dinner, but it was still hard. The guilt still eats and me, and the strain I've put on Nancy's friendship with me is tough, I missed having a girl to talk to, and just talking to Nancy in general. It's true what she's said about me breaking the sister code, it wasn't right for me to do that.

I wouldn't like it if she went out with Billy after we broke up, it wouldn't be right. I'm sure I knew what to do, so I sighed heavily and weighed out my chances before dropping everything I was holding and go over to the phone to dial her home number.

'Hello?' Mike says into the phone.

'Oh hey Mike, is Nancy home?' I question as I twirl the cord around with my finger.

'Oh yeah Emilia, I'll tell her' Mike says before it goes quite for a few seconds, then I hear rustling on the other side of the line.

'Emilia?' Nancy says into the phone and I exhale before before talking.

'Uh yeah, Nancy I just really want to say something to you, but I want to do it in person' I say and she sighs heavily.

'Can it wait for school?' She questions.

'Please just hear me out, can I come over for ten minutes?' I ask almost ready to beg, but she goes quiet for a few seconds before she exhales.

'Sure, just make it relatively quick please' She says and I say yes before I hang up and run over to grab my jacket and shoes. I slip them on before running downstairs to ask my parents if I can borrow their car, at first they were worried about my driving skills, but with a little white lie and a dashing smile, I eased my access to the car keys.

I knock on Nancy's front door, and wait for a few moments until I hear footsteps on the other side, and she pulls the door open with an awkward look on her face.

'Nancy can I talk to you please?' I sigh out tiredly and she looks around before shutting the door behind her and motioning me to start talking.

'I'm sorry, for kissing Steve behind your back, and in general. I broke the sister code majorly, and I know you wouldn't do the same to me. So I'm just going to say it, me and Steve can just be friends, we can just go back to normal...but if you don't forgive me then that's fine too, I'll just drive home and bury myself into my back yard from rejection-' I ramble but she cuts me off by hugging me, and I relax instantly before wrapping my arms around her small frame.

'The sister code it still remains, but I don't have a say on who you want to like and start seeing, so you and Steve can carry on with what you have. Just don't go all mushy around me please' Nancy says with a small smile on her face, and I nod my head before a smile is placed on my face. This turned out surprisingly well, considering this past week.

'Besides, I've got Jonothan now, and trust me he's been a help in changing my mind on this situation' Nancy states and I let out a laugh as I think about Jonothan.

Nancy and I talked for a good twenty minutes, finally rekindling our friendship and breaking the ice between us, but she was currently having dinner with her Aunty and Uncle, so I had to leave her to it eventually and drive back home. It was quite and calm, the roads were empty and I actually felt happy.

I pull up into my drive way with a smile on my face, but I feel the smile fade when I see Billy sitting on the porch stairs. So I groan loudly before shutting the door and locking the car, before dragging my feet toward the front porch to question him.

'Billy, why are you sitting on my porch?' I question bitterly as I stand infront of him, he looks up instantly and his eyes lighten as he sees me, wish I could say the same for me.

'Emilia, you were right the whole time. Anna fücked me over, she lied to me about everything, and I'm stupid for thinking she actually wanted me, but you were right and I'm sorry baby-' Billy apologizes but I cut him off with a shake of my head.

'Don't call me baby' I state and Billy sighs heavily before brushing a hand through his hair.

'I fücked up I know, but she didn't mean anything to me. Nothing at all, and I mean that with everything I have. If I could take it all back I would, Emilia I love you' Billy pleads as he stands up and grasps ahold of my hands, but I rip them out of his grip.

'I guess you should've thought that over before you took her word over mine, and fücked me over in the process' I say bitterly.

'Please hear me out-' Billy says as I move away from him to walk around him to my front door, but I turn around and shake my head at him.

'Numerous times you've apologized, claiming it's a one time thing, but it never is. I'm not naive anymore, so no Billy I won't accept your apology this time... so I guess your luck just ran out' I spit at him and I see him blink at me in disbelief, and before he can open his mouth to say anything else I turn on my heel and walk into my house before shutting the door behind me.
