You're Mine

Chapter 24: That Chapter's Over

It was a wonderful day in spite of my mood. The birds were singing, the sun was shining, and I even managed to get some sleep.

But this wasn't usually a spring morning in Riverdale. Today, my mother will have to bury her husband for a second time, and Billy will have to bury his father.

Until the previous evening when Liz told me she was leaving, I didn't realize how much anxiety caused her presence to me.

"Good morning.", I said as Steve completely opened his eyes. "It's time to wake up.", I continued. "I have to go and you need to give me a ride back home."

"But it's still early.", he whined.

"Come on now, Steve. Get up or else...", I smirked.

"Or else what?", he challenged.

I got closer and brushed my lips to his. My face was only a few inches away from his. His eyes fluttered closed and then opened them again, I smirked at him and he smiled at me.

I got a little more closer, like I was going to kiss him. He puckered his lips and closed his eyes, but I just got up from bed, chuckling.

"Hey! That wasn't fair!", he exclaimed.

"Will you get up now and take me home?", I grinned.

"Not until I get my kiss.", he pouted.

I got on the bed again and crawled like a predator. He laughed and as I got nearer, I kissed him forcefully then turned it into a sweet and tender kiss.

He kissed your jaw trailing down to your neck then back to your lips. When he tried to deepen the kiss, I broke it then suddenly got up.

He narrowed his eyes at me while I was chuckling. Getting up and going to the bathroom, but as he past by me, he smacked my bum causing me to squeak in surprise. Steve laughed and I felt my face getting hot.

When I turned around to glare at him, he kissed me and continued our unfinished kiss until both of us were out of breaths.

When I entered her room, my mother was sitting on the bed holding a photograph taken on her wedding day. She had a simple white costume in which she married. At that time they were really happy.

"A lot of things tortured him, but he loved me.", she said. "This is probably the only thing I'm quite sure of."

I hugged her and took a picture from her hand. "I remember that day as if it was yesterday."

"This marriage...it was a new beginning for him, but he never managed to reconcile with his past, nor to overcome the anger that caused him. He never told me everything, and I wasn't pushy.", she continued. "I suppose I really didn't want to know everything. After all that bad thing about losing your father, I wanted something simple. I was selfish.", she cried. "I've been trying to find out something lately and this has led to big tension between us. I'm ashamed I have never got involved in the whole situation with Billy."

"None of them have done anything, so we could figure out how to help them.", I said.

She wiped her eyes and looked at me. "I'm sorry you had to go through it."

"Me? Go through what?"

"To see Billy with her...with Liz."

"What do you mean?"

"I know, Betty."

"You know what?"

"I know what happened between you two that night before he returned to California."

"What?"

"That day I got up early. Billy didn't know I saw him coming back from your room. And then later that afternoon, after I got back home, I went to see how you were, but you went out to the store. In your room I found a wrap of condom and on the bed I saw a little bit of blood. That week when he left you were so sad. I wanted to tell you I know. I wanted you to be your support, but I didn't want you to get into an uncomfortable situation, or to get into trouble with Billy's father. He would be so mad. I told myself that you were old enough to tell me that, if you wanted me to know. "

"Uh, I can't believe you knew all this time."

"He was your first?"

"Yeah."

She took me by the hand. "Sorry I didn't help you."

"It's okay. As you said, it's better that you didn't say anything."

"Was it...just sex...or something more?"

"For me it was a lot more, I think that was for him too then, but now it doesn't matter."

"He looks like he's in a serious relationship with that girl."

"Yeah."

"But he isn't married."

I whispered. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Just that this is the last opportunity for you to talk openly if something is left unchanged between you. Because now that his dad's gone now, after this day, you probably won't see him ever again."

Even though I knew that, I didn't fully understand it until she spoke these words.

"Thank you for the advice, but I'm pretty sure that chapter's over.", one tear slid down my cheek.

"Obviously not for you."

I wanna dedicate this chapter to glxwingstar because I like her comments so much! ♥♥♥

Anyways, last night I had a dream about Dacre, and it was perfect! I'm under the impression whole day, I just can't! Lol!

Btw. A while ago I found a song called You're Mine! And basically that was my inspiration to write this story in the first place.
