I snuck away from a neighborhood barbeque to write this, and I'll probably
get in trouble, but oh well it's worth it right?
*******************************************
Mary walked into her apartment after a long day of flying to find that the phone was ringing. She sprinted in and caught it on the last ring.
"Hello" she said leaning against the wall
A small voice responded, "Mary?" it asked.
"Yes, who is this?"
"It's Billy" he said, "I need you to come over"
"Why?" Mary asked curiously
"Well it's about my dad . . . "
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mary knocked on the door of the apartment; she nervously tapped her foot while she waited for it to open.
After what seemed like forever Billy answered the door, "good, you came" he grabbed Mary's hand and led her into the apartment, "he's back here," he said pushing her into the bedroom.
Mary folded her arms and leaned on the doorframe, "oh my gosh Billy it's worse than you said"
Wilson was sitting on his bed in his pajamas staring blankly at the TV in front of him. His hair was greasy and messy, and his face was all scruffy. Mary didn't even know he was capable of growing facial hair. There were food wrappers strewn about the room, clothes and papers all over the floor. Mary had never known Wilson to be a messy guy.
"He hasn't left here in three days" Billy informed her.
Mary sighed and set her purse down on the floor. She stomped towards Wilson's bed, and grabbed his arms, "That's it, get up, the pity party is over."
"Mary stop it, I just wanna stay here" he whined
She rolled her eyes and yanked him out of the bed, "Billy go get him something nice to wear." Billy sprinted towards the closet. Mary pushed Wilson into the bathroom and threw a towel at him. "Get in that shower right now and pull yourself together, we're going out!" she slammed the door.
Billy smiled and ran over to give her a high-five.
A few days before, McKenna had felt guilty and decided to come clean to Wilson. He was completely beside himself, and according to Billy had holed up in his bedroom. Neither Billy nor Mary had ever seen him like that, which is why they came up with a plan to save him from himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After Mary had cleaned up the bedroom, she sat with Billy in the living room. Finally Wilson emerged, looking like his old self.
"That's better" Billy smiled
"Look Mary, I know you're trying to help. But we can't go out, I don't have a babysitter."
"No way was I letting you out of this Wilson West," Mary said persistently, "that is why Lucy is taking Billy, Sam, and David to the movies tonight." She folded her arms and smiled, knowing she had won.
She picked up her purse and grabbed Wilson; "come on let's go" she shoved him out the door with Billy following close behind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Thank you Mary, you really are a lifesaver," Wilson told her as she put sleeping Billy in his bed.
They tiptoed out of the room and quietly closed the door.
"It wasn't a problem, plus I think if I hadn't . . .I don't know what would have become of you." She laughed.
They walked into the kitchen and Mary hopped up on the counter.
"I has a lot of fun," Wilson said, "I just can't believe I was acting so stupid. I mean, yeah I'm still upset that she lied all that time, but it's her loss"
"That's the attitude!" Mary laughed
Wilson stood in front of her and put his hand on her knee, "what would I do without you?"
"I don't know" Mary smiled. But she tensed up when she saw the look in his eyes, she knew it too well.
Wilson leaned in and kissed her gently. She started to kiss him back, but when Mary realized what she was doing she pulled back.
"You know what?" she said getting down and heading for the door, "I have an early flight tomorrow, so I'm going to go"
Wilson was very confused, "but I thought you-"
"Goodnight Wilson" she said closing the door behind her.
