Chapter 57- Billy

~2 Weeks Later...~

Sam's POV

Weeks past, things have gotten worst for me. Britney and the girls have been picking on me none stop and I haven't seen my friends. I guess they gave up on me. I manage to get through the day because of Uncle Jack, but sadly he have to go back to UK. Now... I'm alone. Even though I may have Mark and Amy, but... I don't want them to worry about me. No... no one should worry about me.

I grab out my laptop and look at the old videos of Ashley and rest of the gang. I miss the good old days, especially Ashley. I scroll through the comments. I tried my best to held back tears as I'm reading through comments section.

Most of the people in the comments sections typed down Rest In Peace Ashley and commenting nice messages which I really appreciate them. Some are upset that my friends and I stop making videos together, and some are just shit... I close the laptop. Staring at the ceiling taking a deep breathe. 'It will be over... eventually...' I thought to myself as I slowly fall asleep.

~Time Skip~

I head to the cafeteria right after the school bell dismissed the class, sitting on the table alone, waiting for Billy. I heard a giggle no other than Britney's friends. I want to throw food at them, but I know it's not going to end well...

"Sorry about the wait, the lunch ladies took so long annnddd some of these kids cut in line..." Billy said, "Anyway, how are you holding up?"

"Terrible... Uncle Jack left LA last week..."

"I see. Is there anything I can do to help you?" He asked looking at me all concern.

"Why do you want to help me all the sudden?" I asked.

"Because you have no one to talk to," he responds.

"That's the same thing you said to me when I was in the orphanage!"

"I know, but that's all in the past. Listen Sam, what I did in the past was wrong, but please, give me a chance," he pleaded.

I want to say no, but I start to think about it. What if he has change? But... is he going to use me again? I don't know if I should or shouldn't trust him. At the end, it's not going to matter right? If I reject his help, I'm going to be alone and maybe disappear. If I let him in... maybe Billy and I can just start over. Maybe I should just give him another chance.

I look at Billy, "Alright, I'm going to give you another shot, but if you fuck this one up. It's over."

Billy smiles, "Thank you and I promise, I won't fuck this one up."

I wasn't sure if I regret it or not. I mean he did tried his best to help me and keep me company after what the girls did to me, but I tried to push him away. I should give him some slack instead of holding grudges against him. He did change after all and I will take his word for it.

"So, do you want to hang out at my place after school?" I asked.

"Sure."

~Time Skip~

I exit the classroom door heading my way to meet up with Billy. Until I felt someone grab my backpack. I turn around expecting to be Britney, but it wasn't her. It was Lucy.

"Hey Sam, I heard that you're hanging out with Billy at your place."

I was shock that she manage to find out, "H-how did you heard about this?"

"Britney and her 'friends' told me. I want to deny it, but I have to find out for myself by hearing it from you. Is it true?"

"Why do you want to know about that?"

"Why do you want to hang out with a person who treated you horribly for a long time!?"

"He hasn't done anything wrong to me! Even if he had done something wrong in the past, he's not the same person anymore."

"That's what he wants you to think."

"Lucy, I know we used to be friends, but..." I paused as I slowly tighten my fist, as I struggle holding back tears, "WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU!?!?!?"

Lucy takes a step back looking all surprise.

"Where are you in the past 2 weeks? You know I was alone facing problems, but... you didn't bother walking up to me or try talking to me." I tried my best not to break down.

"Sam I-"

"Save it! I don't want to hear it. Unlike you, at least Billy made some effort to check up on me."

Lucy's POV

"WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU!?!?!?"

I took a step back, she... she took me by surprise.

"Where are you in the past 2 weeks? You know I was alone facing problems, but... you didn't bother walking up to me or try talking to me."

I was stun, but she's right. Where was I for the past 2 weeks? I didn't bother to talk or message her just to check up on her. But... she did push me away. How am I supposed to help if she's not going to talk to me about this? Again, I could have helped her in some other way.

"Sam I-"

"Save it! I don't want to hear it," she said coldly.

I was shock that she cut me off right there. I can feel the weight slowly coming down on my shoulders.

"Unlike you, at least Billy made some effort to check up on me."

I look at her in shock; I don't know how to respond at all. Everything just comes at me all at once. I want to say something to her, but... she's not wrong. I am a horrible friend. I can feel my heart tear in two. I betrayed Sam, I betrayed Ashley, but I mostly betrayed myself. I told myself that I will look out for the people that I care, but I failed. Maybe, I should let Sam go and move on.

I sadly sigh and walk past Sam, not willing to look at her.

Sam's POV

I watch Lucy walks off until she's out of my slight. I sigh, I wish I didn't have to do that, but that's on her. She made me do this. I wipe the tears away and find Billy.

I found Billy at the front of the building.

"Oh good, you're here. I was worry that you decided to ditch me," Billy said.

I chuckle, "Nah, I'm not like my friends."

"Huh? Your friends ditch you?"

"Yeah... Especially Lucy... I swear she's starting to remind me of Rihanna..." I muttered.

"I see..." he said placing his hand on his chin, "anyway we should get going!" He exclaimed tossing his hands in the air.

"Really Billy?" I asked giving him a weird look.

"What? I'm excited."

I playfully roll my eyes "alright, let's go."
