Twenty Two

Alexis

A week.

It's been a week since I got tossed in here, and I'm losing my mind more and more every day.

Billie visiting every day helps a bit, but not enough to make this situation any less shitty.

I sigh as I look at the pictures taped to my wall; pictures that Billie brought me the first time she visited. My favorite one is the one of us from my graduation ceremony, just a few hours before my whole life got flipped upside down. We both look so genuinely happy in it, and we were. I smile softly to myself as I look at Billie's laughing face. My chin is on her shoulder as I grin at the camera, and my arms are wrapped lovingly around her waist from behind.

I look at the other pictures I taped up, all of which Billie printed and brought for me. One of my other favorites is one that Finneas took while Billie and I were asleep. She yelled at him for being creepy but when she saw the picture she didn't mind anymore because it was so cute. We were in her bed with Pepper, the three of us fast asleep. Billie was pressed into my side with her cheek resting on my chest while one of my arms was wrapped around her. Our legs were tangled together and Pepper was lying across both of us.

My eyes flick to another picture, this one of me and Billie when we went to Disneyland with a bunch of her friends.

"Yo, who knew Bil could get so whipped," Eli jokes and I nudge Billie playfully while she rolls her eyes.

"I'm not fucking whipped, bro," she says defensively and everyone gives her a look. "I'm not!"

"You're literally wearing hers and hers sweatshirts with Mickey Mouse on them," Drew points out and Billie and I both look down at the sweaters we're wearing with blushes.

"They're ironic!" she whines and I sling my arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to my side.

"Nah, this shit's cute. I own it," I say and Billie glares at me playfully while her friends laugh. "And I'm totally whipped for you," I say quietly and press a sweet kiss to her cheek.

"Gotcha!" Drew giggles and I pull back to see that she took a picture as I was kissing Billie.

"You better send that to me," I say with a smile and keep walking.

"My feet hurt," Billie whines after a few more minutes of walking around the park. We're not entirely sure where we're going because Isaac and Eli are arguing about which ride to hit up next, and the rest of us don't care enough to get in the middle of their bickering.

"Hop on then, Princess," I say and pull my arm away from her then bend my knees so she can jump on my back.

She does just that and clings onto me while I straighten my legs and reach back to hold her thighs for support while I start walking again. I smile to myself when she nuzzles into my neck cutely.

"Where to baby? These bozos are probably gonna be arguing for a while," I say and look around at what's near us.

Billie lifts her head to do the same then points at a little shop a few storefronts down from us.

"Let's go in there," she suggests and I walk in the direction she's pointing while she nuzzles into my neck again, getting comfortable for the ride.

I walk us into the store then set Billie down, chuckling when she skips off excitedly like a little kid. I follow her as she looks through everything they're selling.

"This shit is so cheesy," she says with a chuckle as she picks up a plastic tiara from one of the displays.

She turns around to face me and reaches up to place it on my head while I just watch her and raise a skeptical eyebrow.
