( Your P.O.V )
we sat down outside on the patio over looking the large yard that backs onto a forest.
"So you live with a guy now, I guess we really did lose that much contact with one another for a while huh? I guess we've grown up." Billy says with a soft smile looking over at me from his lawn chair .
"You lost contact not me." I say my anger starting to boil up
"Three years. It's been THREE YEARS BILLY!" I raising my voice at him .
"You told me you where going to study abroad for a year. That's it a year! and that you would keep in contact with me. You did for a while then it just went quiet on your end and I got worried so I contacted your dad." I pause to make eye contact with him and he begins to fidget in his chair like he once did when he was younger.
"You wanna know what that disgrace of a man said ? You wanna know what the man that beat you when you where younger said to me the one that was there for you? He said that you had been speaking to him and that you must have just been sick of me and needed to escape. He told me that you where fine and where having a good time studying abroad without me and that I should move on and get the hell away from his house." I take a deep breath and speak again.
"why would you talk to him , who you haven't spoken to since after the accident but not me your friend?" I begin to sob and shake in my chair.
"I was so worried about you...at first I thought something happened then when I talked to your dad I thought maybe it was because of me , maybe I did something to drive one of the last people that I can trust and not be afraid to lean on when I need help, away
from me. I spent 2 and a half of those three years thinking I did something to make you wanna leave and not come back until one day I gave up and just let it be. so no you don't get to say we've lost touch because I never lost anything other than the last bit of sanity I had, I tryed and when I couldn't try anymore I waited." halfway through i must have begun crying because now my eyes stung and my cheeks where wet.
"Y-you l-left me here." I say in between sobs.
I cover my face with my hands and drop my head to the ground.
i hear him clear is throat, then begin speaking.
"I-i never planned on staying that long, my intent was to never leave you that long." he says with a raspy voice
I keep my head towards the ground and my face covered as he continues.
"during my first few months i was fine but of course i wanted to come back to you . I was planning on shortening my stay but i got sick."
I lift my head and look at him, now he's the one looking to the ground and tears running down his cheeks.
"I worked to pay for treatment. I only called my dad hoping he would give me the money that was left for me from mom to pay for the treatment Instead of staying longer to pay for the treatment. He told me he used it and that i should die for what I've done..." he breaks down in tears for a couple minutes and once he was done he continues.
"I asked him not to tell you that I was sick and to give you my new number when he sees you, and when i never got a call i just figured you had forgotten about me. I had no idea he said any of that to you and I never wanted to not tell you what was happening. I was planning on telling you everything once I had my treatment and was better, but it took a lot longer to earn the money for the treatment...and didn't work until the second time I did it." he pauses for a moment and looks to the other side of the yard, careful not to make eye contact.
I walk to his chair and bend down to his face. carefully I place my hand on his cheeks and wipe away the tears away.
he looks up at me and his hands meet my cheeks as he wipes away my tears as well.
"You know your not at fault for what happened, he is."
I hold his face in my hands and he holds mine in his.
"I'm just glad your back and safe i missed you." i say as i pull him into a hug.
"I'm sorry for not telling you as soon as i saw you last time we met, i just wanted our first time seeing each other again to be a happy one." He says giving me a sympathetic smile.
"I understand." I say giving him a small nod.
I watch him as he finally takes in the surroundings of the backyard. He tips his head to the sky and takes a deep breath enjoying the fresh air.
"Wanna go on an adventure like when we were younger?" He says looking at me with a wild smile.
I nod and he pulls me through the house , out the front door and into his little run down car.
~ time skip ~
"No freaking way?!" I say sarcastically in my best pubescent billy voice and we both burst out into a laughing fit on the swings.
We are at the park in our old neighborhood and hour away from my current house in talking about what we've been up to in our time spent apart .
"Seriously though he threw up all over the café and I spent the rest of my night cleaning the walls, floors and ceiling. I had no clue you could even reach that high!" He tells me with a smile.
"Must be his super power." I say with a straight face.
It takes billy a moment to clue in what I'm talking about but when he does he smiles
"I almost forgot we used to go around giving people fake super powers!"
"Calling some of them like being able to projectile vomit to the ceiling in a café fake is questionable, seems like a true super power to me." I say jokingly and we both laugh.
It's gotten dark and the park lights have turned on but we continue to talk about things that have happened in the past three years. I tell him about how I took over my parents company and he tells me about all the different jobs he's had abroad in Europe some where.
"we've been out here talking all day, you must be hungry. Do you wanna get something to eat?" he asks
"I kinda have to get home it's late and I have work I need to get done tomorrow." I say looking at him with a sad smile.
"oh ok no problem." he says standing up from his swing and extending a hand to me.
we get in the car and are about to pull out of the parking lot when he says "can we just make a small stop at the gas station , where almost out . I promise it's not far ."
"yeah of course." I say
"this car seems to just use up all the gas I give it without me going anywhere.!" he says with a frown as he hits the staring wheel lightly.
~ at gas station~
I sit silently as Billy refills the car with gas and quickly check Twitter .( @alexbyun2002 , gotta get that promo) "dang it!" I whisper scream.
"what's wrong?" Billy asks as he ducks to get in to the car and sit down.
"oh my phone just died, it's not a big deal." I say with a little smile
he gives odd smile back. "Are you tired?" he asks as I yawn.
"ya I guess haha." I respond with an awkward laugh.
"I'll take the short cut so I can get you home sooner." He says while starting the car.
"Um this short cut of yours won't get us lost right ...." I trail off
"No of course not." He says with a smile.
We begin driving in the opposite direction of the house.
I relax in my seat and tell myself this is just a short cut, he knows what he's doing."
He turns on the radio and BTS "not today begins to play.
He scowls and quickly changes the station.
"You don't like BTS ?" I ask curiously
"No , I don't like their kind of music and I herd they are just a bunch of asses." He says angrily.
"Have you ever seen them?" I ask to insure he did not notice who Jungkook was earlier.
"Nope, don't even know their names, I could care less." He says getting more agitated.
"Well everyone has different opinions I guess." I say with a soft smile in hopes to calm him down.
I look over at the clock on the dash and it read 20 to 12
"I thought this was a short cut?" I ask looking over to him.
"It is." he says tightening his grip on the steering wheel.
"Billy...." I keep watching him as he drives.
"Where are you taking me?" I ask being to get stressed.
"Home." he says staring straight ahead with stern look on his face
"which home..." I ask while I slowly move my hand over to the door handle
"The home you deserve to be at , a home where you can be safe ... with me." he says looking over at me with a
soft expression.
"Billy stop messing around , take my back to my house now." I say with a rough voice.
"I'm not taking you back there it's not safe!" he yells at me.
"what do you mean its not safe?!" I ask
"I haven't been where I said I've been, I've been in south Korea , for the first year I was training at Bighit with those satanic people. I didn't get in so I threatened to tell the company about the other trainees secrets if they don't get me back in. The just helped push me onto the streets. So I went to get proof of some of them being in a gang but was beaten by them. THEY BEAT ME DONT YOU UNDERSTAND ! AND NOW YOUR IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THAT COMPANY AND WANNA KNOW A LITTLE SECRET THEY ARE PART OF THE GANG THAT WANTS YOU GONE! THEY DREW A HUGE RED TAGET ON YOUR BACK!" He yells at me
"You lied to me?! And how the hell do you even know any of this, it's not their fault!." I yell back
"I CANT BELIEVE YOU LIED TO ME THEN COME AND TELL ME LIES TO MAKE ME LEAVE THEM ! THEY ARE MY FRIENDS AND THEY ARE IN DANGER TO!!" I yell again
"I'm sorry I lied but I had to keep you safe...and I need to keep you safe now."
He says in an alarmingly calm tone
"LET ME OUT NOW, PULL OVER!" I scream
"I'm sorry ( your name. )" he says
I pull on the door handle but it's locked
As I turn to yell at him a cloth covers my mouth and I'm engulfed in darkness.
