Chapter 28

KATHERINES POV

Right when we thought we were safe something or someone was in the bushes right before us.

Billie was standing in front of me, separating me and whatever was in the bushes.

I'm really hoping it's that really funny but dumb scene in the movies where it's really scary until a cute fluffy bunny hops out and you're like "oh it's just a bunny," and you can finally relax.

But that was not the case...

Billie stood there looking at the bushes waiting for something to come out. We kept hearing movements, and sticks being stepped on. Billie lost her patience and said,

"Whoever's in there come out before I beat down on you"

more rustling...

it was getting closer...

"woah no need for that Bil, we both know I could take you" the voice said

I recognized the voice

it was Q.

he walked out from behind the bushes, Danielle, and the twins following right behind them.

"Jesus Brandon what the fuck" Billie said letting out a sigh.

he just laughed it off

"are you guys okay?" Eli asked us

"now we are" Billie said stepping away from me, where she once stood.

Billie walked closer to them, and Isaac saw her hands

"are you sure about that? what happened to you hands Bil?" he said worried grabbing her hands to inspect them closer.

"long story. Knocked a douchebag over the head with some drinks. you know, same old. Why were you guys in the bushes like some fucking weirdos?"

"oh that was you," Dani said," damn I didn't see that one coming"

"we left cause that guy you hit over the head got up and held a gun and kept yelling 'where'd they go?!' it's good to see ya'll go out okay" Isaac said

"and you were in the bushes because?" Billie asked again

"I don't even know why, I was just scared shitless for you guys and Q said he thought you'd be here." Eli spoke

"but wait, how'd you know where to find us" I turned asking Q

"well...issa feelin" he said glancing over to Billie

I noticed a light blush on her cheeks.

no fuck that thought.

she was a whole ass tomato.

not this shit again.

"so you showed him this spot?" I asked her NICELY

you hear that? I was nice. Even though the thought of me confessing my undying love for this woman in the same spot where she took him was eating away at me, I was nice. And what did she do?

she said NOTHING.

love that.

I admit what I did next wasn't as nice as I could've been but whatever I was allowed to be a little mad.

I just scoffed and walked away, taking a seat back on the swings, hanging my head low, staring at my reflection in the puddle beneath my seat.

soon after, I felt a presence in the swing next to mine.

Billie.

"Kat what's wrong? talk to me."

"it's fine. nothing's wrong" I said not looking up at her knowing if I did I'd just fall into her trance.

"don't lie to me, I can tell somethings bothering you," she said pulling up my chin to look in her eyes," be honest with me Kat."

" you want me to be honest with you?" I said

"please"

"fine. What's wrong is that you aren't being honest with me. Or at least not fully. Whenever I ask you about you and Brandon you just brush it off, and make it seem like there's nothing to worry about. Yet that's all I'm doing, every time I see him whisper something in your ear, every time I see you dance on him like I don't exist, every time you blush at what he says I find myself worrying. You know how much I love you, and I know how much you love me, but when I see that all I'm left doing is questioning every little thing. What would help is if you were being completely honest with me, but like I said all you do is brush it off. So please, if you really want to help, just tell me the truth."

Billies head hung low as I said all of these things as if she just realized what she's been doing. She brought her gaze back up to mine and let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry Kat for making you feel that way. I didn't mean to at all. Because I do love you, so so much. But the truth is, before I met you me and him were dating. He was one of my bestfriends and I fell in love with him. I thought it was the best, and strongest relationship in the world. Until he cheated on me, except in his eyes we were never exclusive. It completely broke me, I was drinking and hooking up with way too many people, and that's why Finneas said 'another one' the day we were together. But with you it was always different. you helped me become myself again, and I love you and what we have so much more than what I had with him. Him and I decided to stay friends after everything but I'd be lying if I said there weren't some unresolved feelings between him and I because we never had an easy break up. It was just there one second and gone the next. But you have no reason to be worried. I'm sorry for brushing it off every time you asked I just had no idea how to explain it all to you and I didn't want you to hate me." She said

" I could never hate you Billie, thank you for telling me." I said truthfully but I admit the words unresolved feelings had me a bit on edge but she made it clear she loves me and she was happy where she was.

"Thanks for listening" she chuckled as she leaned in to kiss me.

We got up and made our way back to the group, hopefully they didn't hear anything that we said.

" are you guys done sucking face now" Dani asked

Okay good they didn't hear anything.

I just wanted to move past all of these thoughts swarming in my head.

I just grabbed Billie's hand gently and said,

"c'mon let's go to the hospital and get your hand stitched"

I bent down to grab my bag and we turned to walk back up the path when I heard,

" where do you think you're going?"

We all froze in our tracks

He found us

Bryan held the gun towards all of us, Danielle, and the twins were a few steps behind us so at least they had a chance.

"Just let us go" Billie said

" and why should I do that? You stole her from me. Who said she was yours to take" Bryan said gesturing the gun between Billie and I.

"I did. Bryan whatever you think we had wasn't real" I said trying to calm this crazy man. Maybe he'll come to the realization and let us go

" shut your mouth" he said

" don't talk to her like that" Billie spoke up a little mad

" you're right I shouldn't be too focused on her right now, I came here for you"

" please just leave her out of this" I said tears rolling down my face

Bryan just looked into my eyes and showed no remorse.

Then I heard the sound of his trigger and a bright flash was displayed before my eyes. Then everything went dark.

Hehehe
