Billie's POV
*************

"Rise and fucking shine, sleeping beauty." I pushed the couch Kai was sleeping on with all my force and chuckled to myself as she flew off of it and onto the floor.

"What the fuck?!"

"We have a lot of work to do today," I told her quickly. "Why the fuck are you still down there? Get the fuck up."

She let out a small sigh and then lifted herself up, staring blankly at me as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes.

"We have a lot to figure out. For instance, where the fuck you're gonna go. My parents will be gone after today until late February, but after that, they're gonna be back and I don't think they're gonna want one of my friends living in the house with me. It's bad enough they've gotta deal with me."

"Mhm."

"You didn't have to agree." I snapped.

She simply shrugged and sat back down on the couch.

"So, this was my plan, right? Tell your uncle about all the shit I know about your criminal ass family, scare his ass into not telling anyone a damn thing about what happened to Valerie, that way we could take her home and wouldn't have to worry about hiding her body or some shit. Then I told the police every detail I could about everything illegal they've done, gave all the evidence I could, and got them arrested. So now, they're all behind fucking bars, hopefully even Valerie, and they've got too much shit to deal with to be worried about Dahlia. Even if Valerie tells the cops what happened with Dahlia, I doubt they'd look into it, you know, since she's clearly a fucking maniac and they might just assume your uncle beat her up again and she's trying to cover it up." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah."

"I guess I didn't really think about you in the whole grand scheme of things. I mean, four of your family members are in jail right now, so..."

"I don't have anywhere to go." She mumbled.

"You don't have any other family? No grandparents, no other uncles and aunts—"

"My granddad is around here, but I won't live with him."

"Well, I hate to break it to you, sweetheart, but you don't have a choice." I chuckled.

"I'm not going to live with him, Billie. He's just like my uncle. I'd rather live on the streets." She mumbled. "You dragged me into this mess, you need to get me out."

I wanted to punch her in her mouth again, but she's completely right. I knew I could protect her from her uncle if he tried to hurt her again, but I didn't know whether or not I could protect her from...homelessness. I don't know what I expected to happen when all was said and done with this, but this wasn't it.

I really wasn't thinking at all, to be honest. I wasn't thinking about how this would all turn out for Kai. The one and only person I was thinking about was Dahlia. I did what I needed to to keep her out of trouble. I didn't care about anything else.
