Summary: Aww geez, you read this far. You guys don't need a summary.
A/N: I've just failed my exam so I'm in a really bad mood. And I've skipped Computer Graphics to write this. I'm terrible, aren't I?
**************************************************************************** **********
I was really honoured that Jamie and Frodo wanted me to be their matron of honor. Even after everything that had happened. And I had no doubts about accepting. Things were beginning to get back to normal. I was glad of that. It's no fun being mad at your best friend, even if she does deserve it.
The door opened and nearly gave me a heart attack. Laddie was still sitting on my bed and I couldn't risk him being seen by any teachers until Jaime had spoken to Elrond for me. Luckily it was only Billee, Legolas, Colan and Boromir.
Boromir came over and kissed me. Everyone whistled and I blushed. Billee sat down on the end of my bed, with Colan on his lap and Legolas sat on Jaime's bed. Colan crawled over to Laddie and began petting him. It was great, all of us together.
"How's your arm?" Billee asked with a yawn. "Sorry, I'm so tired"
"Aren't we all?" I said with a grin. "It still aches. And my ankle feels funny"
"It'll get better with a few days rest" Legolas told me. "Just take it easy"
We sat and talked for a few more minutes. Finally Boromir and Frodo had to leave to go to class. Boromir gave me another kiss and promised to come up and see me at lunchtime. Laddie growled when we kissed and Billee laughed.
"I think someone is getting jealous" he teased.
"Who?" Legolas replied quickly. "You?"
"Yeah, right" Billee said with a smirk and we all laughed. Even Colan giggled, although he didn't really know what he was laughing at. "By the way Jaime, congratulations"
"Thanks" Jaime showed us her ring proudly. I was so excited for her. But I didn't think that I was ready to get married yet.
After Frodo and Boromir had left, Billee stood up.
"I'm going to try and catch Elrond now" he said, stretching. "Emma, can you and Jaime keep an eye on Colan for me? I won't be long"
"Course we will" I said, snuggling back against my pillow. I felt completely done in. "Colan, come and lie down with me until Billee gets back. Me and Jaime will tell you a story"
"A story about monsters" he said lying down beside me and putting his thumb in his mouth. I looked at Billee and smiled. Billee grinned back and left the room with Legolas behind him. I was really beginning to wonder if there was something going on with the two of them…
We started to tell him a story about a nice cave troll who had no friends because everyone was scared of him. We took it in turns, completely making it as we went along. Finally, half way through the story, he fell asleep. Jaime and I talked very quietly for a minute or two.
"You know that message?" I said hesitantly. Jaime nodded. "Well I listened to it" I admitted. "It helped me while I was waiting to be rescued"
"I'm glad" Jaime smiled at me sleepily. "So, are we okay?"
"We're okay" I agreed. "As long as you speak to Elrond today about Laddie"
"I will" Jaime gave a yawn. "Just as soon as I wake up"
Before I could reply, she was asleep. I looked at her for a moment, thinking about how lucky I was to have her as a friend. I smiled as Laddie pressed my nose against his hand. I honestly couldn't bear the though of losing him again and I was worried about what would happen if Billee's parents couldn't take care of him. My parents don't care less about him, if Billee's mum really had left, I would definitely have to go back home in order to keep Laddie.
Somewhere in the middle of worrying, I fell asleep again…
(Billee's POV)
Even before I entered Elrond's office, I knew what he wanted to talk to me about. I was glad that Legolas was there with me.
As we went in, Elrond told us to sit down. He had my student file in front of him and was flicking through a bunch of notes. After a minute, he looked up.
"Your father hurt your brother, didn't he?" he asked. "Those injuries weren't caused by normal play"
"Colan told me last night" I said slowly. I honestly didn't want to cause any more trouble for Elrond, but I decided to tell him the truth. "He said that my mum walked out a few days ago. When Colan cried for her, my dad hit him in the face and knocked him across the kitchen. I reckon he must have smacked his head on the kitchen counter. I've done the same thing before, so I know you see…" I trailed off and clenched my fists. "I'll kill him" I muttered. "I swear I'll kill him for this"
"He can't go home, Billee" Elrond told me. Course I already knew that. "Is there anywhere else he could go?"
"My aunt and uncle would take him in" I said with a shrug. "But I'd have to write to them. It might take a few days"
"Fine then, you do that" Elrond told me. "He can stay here until you get a reply. I'm sure he will be no trouble"
"Thank you sir" I stood up and gave him a quick hug. "I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me"
"Not a problem" Elrond said with a smile. "And Billee?"
"Yes?" I was just about to go out of the door, but I turned to face him. He smiled again. "My old offer still stands" he told me softly. "You and your brother. If you need a place to stay in the holidays, just let me know"
"Sir" I said, grinning back at him. "You are great"
Legolas and I walked quietly back to Emma's dorm. My heart felt lighter, knowing that my brother was safe here, but I knew that sooner or later, my father would show up and cause trouble.
Quietly we opened their door and peered in. The sight that greeted us was a really sweet one. Both Jaime and Emma were asleep, Emma had Colan cuddled against her and Laddie curled against her other side.
"Let them sleep" I whispered, closing the door. "Let's go for a ride or something"
"Fine" Legolas echoed. "Let's go"
