Invisible string

Shared pains

Isabella and Billy had been studying for 2 hours, it was now 6 pm and they had finally finished everything "I will hand this all in tomorrow" Isabella said standing up and gathering all of the papers to put them in her backpack "Sweet" he let out as he stared at her packing up "Bella" "Yes Billy?" She looked up to see him staring but it wasn't his normal look, his eyes had something different in them. Billy rose from the bed to stand right in front of her, brushing a hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear. Butterflies erupted in the blonde's stomach, Billy stared into her eyes and his hand still rested on her cheek "What are you doing?" she said with a gulp "I've been wanting to do this for a while" he said leaning in. 

Their lips connected, Isabella's hands wrapping around Billy's neck while his hand remained on her cheek and the other one moving to the small of her back holding her closer to him. The kiss was electric and slowly got more intense, the pair pulling each other as close as they could wanting to be closer. Billy pushed Isabella back onto the bed which caused her to giggle and pull him down with her, she could feel his smile against her lips, making her butterflies become more intense. The make out continued for minutes till they had to catch their breaths "Woah" Isabella let out with a smile as she bit her lip to contain herself "This is the best study evening I've had so far" he laughed "Shut-up" she replied pulling him back down.

The pair are still heavily making out when there is a knock at the door "Billy?" a women's voice calls out, Billy pulls up from Isabella clearly annoyed "Yea I'm a little bit busy in here Susan" he replied going back to continue the kiss when there is a angry mans voice joins the conversation "Open the door. Right now." the man demands. Billy's facial expression changes as he gets off the blonde girl and opens the door to reveal a man and who Isabella had learned to be Susan who she was assuming to be Max's mom, they had the same red hair. "What's wrong?" he questions "Why don't you tell us?" "Because I don't know" "We can't find Maxine" Susan tells him "And her window is open" the man adds "Where is she?" he sounds accusing towards the teenage boy "I don't know" "You don't know?" "Look I'm sure she just, I don't know, went to the arcade or something" Billy says moving back into his room "I'm sure she is fine" "You were... supposed to watch her" the man says following Billy and glancing at the girl sat on his bed "I know dad. I was. It's just you guys were 3 hours late and, well we have been doing work" Billy tells him. That was Billy's dad, it wasn't how Isabella imagined him, she pictured more of a chill guy considering he let Billy have so much freedom. "We were doing our final report" Issy chirped up with a smile trying to show it was true "It's my fault I insisted-" she tried to add but got cut off "I'm sorry ok?" Billy said over her and shot her a warning look which in turn received a confused look from her "That's why you've clearly been snogging this bitch instead of watching your sister" his dad replied "I have been looking after her all week dad. Ok if she wants to run off then that's her problem alright? she is 13 years old she doesn't need a full time baby sitter" Billy replied getting riled up "And she is not my sister" he added angry and paused his music but was met with his dad slamming him against the wall, causing Isabella to flinch with tears forming about to fall at any second.

"What did we talk about?" his dad says sounding very calm until he slapped Billy across the face, Isabella flinched again, her tears now streaming as she looked to Susan who just looked away from them "Please" she whispered to the older women. When Isabella looked back at the two Billy's dad was holding the boys face "What. Did. We. Talk about?" he repeated himself "Respect and responsibility" Billy replied, obviously hurt "That's right. Now, apologise to Susan" the man told him, they stood there staring at each other, breathing heavily for a few seconds "I'm sorry Susan" "It's ok Neil, really" Susan replied trying to defuse the situation "NO, its not ok, nothing about his behaviour is ok." "But he is going to make up for it." Neil turns to Susan and Isabella "He is going to take this whore home and then he is going to go find his sister. Like the good, kind, respecting brother he is." "Isn't that right Billy?" he says looking back to the boy "ISN'T THAT RIGHT!" he repeated yelling in Billy's face, Isabella could see the tears glistening and his mouth falter before replying "Yes sir" "I'm sorry I couldn't hear you" "Yes. Sir" Billy said louder now "Find Max" Neil demanded before he walked out, closing the door behind him. Billy stood in place, blinking back his tears but failing as they ran down his face and he let his head fall, looking at the ground and he threw whatever he was holding to the floor and raising his hands to his eyes.

"Billy?" Isabella said wearily getting up and going to the boy, she just looked up at him waiting for anything in return, when he didn't say anything or move, more tears streaming down both their faces, she just wrapped his arms around his torso, comforting him, his arms wrapped around her as he rest his head on her shoulder. They stood like that for a few minutes wrapped in each other, Isabella's hand stroking and playing with his hair, calming him down. "Come on lets go find Max" she said grabbing his hand and leading him out.
