During the week Billy would arrive at Shanes house by dark, she usually had a meal waiting on him, they would eat dinner clean up then snuggle on the couch until 11 when he would leave it wasn't until that weekend when things went a little crazy.

Billy and Ricky went to Nero's to see Shane and the guys play as they were there Billy looked out into the crowd and froze. he stood with a shocked look on his face, Ricky followed his gaze OH MY GOD he said before he looked back at his brother, Billy started to shake.

No Billy Ricky said she isn't worth it. Billy just stood there. Ricky did the only thing he could think of he ran for Shane.

She was about to go back onstage when Ricky reached her.

Shane, Billy needs you he said to her. She looked at Ricky as if he lost his mind

DO What? She asked him

Ricky started tugging on her arm Billy needs you trust me he said, Tate tossed her the mic he knew she could start the show from the crowd as she had done numerous times before. Shane let Ricky pull her towards Billy shaking her head until she saw him. Billy stood pretty much in the same position as when Ricky left him, Shane glanced at Ricky who motioned to the crowd. She looked out to see what had upset Billy so much and it was then that she understood. Mary was there dancing with a few different people not a care in the world. Shane leaned close to Ricky OK she said OK. Motioning to the band Shane stepped into Billy's line of sight and started to sing

Hey Hey Heeeyyyy your lipstick stained on the corner of my left front brain, Billy's eyes unfocused from where they had been looking to lock with Shanes eyes. He started to smile as Shane reached out grabbed his hand and started to drag him behind her.

Hey Soul sister aint that mister mister on the stereo, radio the way you move aint fair you know, she pulled him up and behind the speakers lining the side of the stage she motioned for him to stay then she went back for Ricky. However by that time Mary had seen Ricky and was asking him where Billy was.

No Idea he said to her as Shane pulled him away from her. Mary started to follow them when Shane swung around put a hand in the middle of her chest and wagged her finger NO at her, then motioned for her to stay and drug Ricky off behind the speakers.

Ricky cracked up, Shane gave both brothers ear plugs then went back onstage to finish out the set., She kept her eye on Billy even getting Lillian to bring them a couple of beers and singing to Billy off and on.

Once the set was over she drug them both back behind the stage to the dressing room that the band used between sets. She waited until they were both seated before she began to pace, turning to Billy she simply said.

What in the hell was that all about? Before Billy could reply she continued Mary so what if it's Mary. I understand that you still have feelings for her, you wouldn't have married her if you didn't but my god man get over it. She paced back and forth in front of the brothers talking more to herself than to them. The brothers glanced at each other Ricky grinned I think she likes you brother he said to Billy. Billy nodded to him before turning his attention back to what Shane was saying. .

I mean geeze you claim that you're interested in someone else and you say that you would like to start a relationship yet your still so overcome by just seeing the idiot make a fool of herself with someone else . . . Shanes voice trailed off as she realized what she was saying, her face turned red as she looked over to see Billy grinning at her.

Shit Shane said just before she bolted for the door, Billy managed to reach her just on the other side, don't he said to her. Shane stood with her face averted. Billy gently brought her chin up until her eyes met his.

Don't he repeated.

I'm sorry Shane said to him

Why? Billy asked for speaking your mind when you obviously care? For finally realizing that you may have feelings for me? For making me realize what a fool I have been over her?

Shane smiled slightly, all of the above she said

Well don't Billy replied as ran his hand behind her neck to cup the back of her head

Shane he whispered just before his lips claimed hers. Shane gave back as good as she got wrapping her arms around Billy's neck and holding on for dear life.

Neither of them saw Mary or heard the gasp as she realized that Billy was finally over her.
