CHAPTER 6
Billy carried me into the emergency room entrance. He layed me down on the gurney as the doctor and nurse wheeled me down the hall. Billy stood there and shook his head as Joe and Kayla came inside.
"I'm so fucking stupid," Billy said as he looked over at Joe and Kayla.
"Why did you do that to her?" Kayla asked as she got into Billy's face.
"Kayla, just calm down," Joe said as he held Kayla back.
"Calm down? I'm not going to calm down," Kayla said as she continued to look at Billy. "My BEST friend is in there, almost dead because you had to cheat on her with some girl-,"
"Wait a minute. I didn't cheat on her, alright? I was at the bar having drinks with the guys, and the girl came onto me. When you guys walked into the bar, the girl was kissing me. I had NOTHING to do with that!" Billy said as tears welded in his eyes.
"Well, then you better explain that to her IF she wakes up," Kayla said as she looked at Billy.
Joe went to grab her arm as she walked away, but Kayla just brushed Joe away. Kayla sat down in one of the uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room. Joe and Billy stood looking around. An hour had passed and a doctor had finally come down the hall to speak with everyone.
"Are you all here for Lacy?" the doctor asked as he looked at everyone.
"Yes. Is she alright?" Kayla asked as she stood up from her chair.
"She's going to be fine. We're going to keep her overnight under suicide watch-,"
"That won't be necessary," Billy said as he stood up.
"Well, we at least need to keep her here overnight. She's not in good enough shape to go home," the doctor said as he looked at Billy.
"Can I see her?" Kayla asked as she looked at the doctor.
"Yes, but only one at a time," the doctor said as she led all three of them to my room.
Kayla walked into the room first and I looked over at her.
"Hey girl," Kayla said as she walked over to my bed.
"Hi," I said as I looked at Kayla.
"You gave us quite a scare," Kayla said as she sat down on the chair next to my bed.
I nodded my head as tears welded in my eyes.
"Is he out there?" I asked as I stared at the ceiling.
"Yes. You don't have to let him come in here," Kayla said as she looked over at me.
"I know," I said as I continued to stare at the ceiling with more tears rolling out of my eyes.
"If you need anything, just call me," Kayla said as she stood up and walked out of the room.
"Kayla?" I asked as I stopped her.
"Yeah?" Kayla said as she looked back at me.
"Could you bring me my baggy sweat pants and a hoodie for me to go home in tomorrow?"
"Sure thing," Kayla said with a smile before she left the room.
I heard heavy footsteps come into the room. I looked over and saw Billy standing there. He took my hand and held it. I shook my head and pulled my hand out of Billy's grasp.
"Babe, don't do this," Billy said as he came closer to me.
"Don't do what, Billy? You know, I thought you actually cared about me, but I guess I was wrong," I said as tears welded in my eyes again. "I can't believe that I actually fell for you," I said as I shook my head.
"If you're talking about what you saw at the bar, that wasn't my doing," Billy said as he tried to stand up for himself.
"Oh yeah, right. You expect me to fucking believe that shit? That's what all the guys want the girl to believe. I'm not going to listen to that, Billy. I came into that bar, thinking that I could surprise you whenever I was the one that got the surprise!" I said as I sat up and yelled at him. "You think that you can just come in here, after I almost died, and tell me that that wasn't you that did that? I can't believe you, Billy."
"I didn't do it!" Billy yelled as he grabbed the phone and threw it against the wall.
I brought my hands up to my face and looked at Billy. Billy couldn't believe that he had just throw the phone against the wall. A nurse walked into the room and grabbed Billy by the arm.
"I think she's had enough visitors tonight," the nurse said as she led Billy out of the room.
My hands were trembling as I watched Billy leave the room.
The next morning, I was sitting up in bed as Kayla came into my room with my clothes.
"Hey. How are you?" Kayla asked as she walked over to my bed.
"I'm alright. Thanks," I said as I took the clothes from her and carefully stood out of bed.
My legs were a little wobbly from the overdose, but I slowly made my way to the bathroom. I closed the door behind me and slowly changed from my hospital gown to my baggy black sweatpants and my hooded sweatshirt. I pulled my hair up into a loose bun and walked out of the bathroom. Kayla helped me put my shoes on and I looked at her.
"Billy was mad last night," I said as Kayla slipped my other shoe on.
"I know, but Lacy, he had no right to be at the bar that night. Even if that girl started to kiss him, he shouldn't have just sat there," Kayla said as she tied my tennis shoe.
"I know," I said as I nodded my head.
The nurse wheeled a wheel chair into my room and I sat down in it. She wheeled me out of my room and down the hall to the elevator. We waited as the doors opened. The nurse wheeled me inside and we went down a couple of floors. The doors opened again and the nurse wheeled me out of the hospital and over to Kayla's car. The nurse and Kayla helped me into the car. As Kayla came around her car to get into the driver's side, I noticed Billy's car sitting in the parking lot.
"I don't believe it," I said as I continued to look at Billy's car.
"He's been here. He was here before I got here. He didn't go inside. He's just sitting in the car. Probably wanting to talk to you," Kayla said as she put the car in drive and started to pull out of the parking lot.
"After the stunt he pulled yesterday, I'm not so sure that I want to talk to him," I said as I looked out of the window at the mirror.
I saw Billy's car driving behind us. Kayla pulled up in front of the house and walked around to my side and opened the door. Billy pulled up behind Kayla and turned his car off. Kayla helped me out of the car and shut the door.
"What do you want, Billy?" Kayla asked as she helped me walk towards the house.
"I wanted to make sure you two got home alright," Billy said as he came over to my other side and helped me walk.
"We're fine," Kayla said as she opened the front door.
"Lacy, can we talk?" Billy asked as he grabbed onto my arm.
I looked at Billy for a moment and then walked into the house. Kayla followed me inside and clothes the front door in Billy's face. Billy balled his fist up and hit the door before he walked back to his car. I heard his tires screeching as he pulled away. Kayla helped me over to the couch and noticed I had tears going down my face.
"Hun, what's wrong?" Kayla asked as she grabbed a tissue and handed it to me.
"I want to talk to him so bad, but I don't know whether to believe him or not. How do I know that he's going to tell me the truth?" I said as I wiped the tears away with the tissue.
"You won't know for sure, but you need to just go with what your heart tells you. If your heart tells you that Billy is telling the truth, then talk to him. He hasn't lied to you before. You need to just relax for now. You had a rough night last night and rough past couple of days. If you think that you should talk to Billy, then call him later," Kayla said as before she got up off of the couch.
I sat on the couch the rest of the day with the phone by my side. I couldn't decide whether to call Billy or not. I missed him and in my heart, I felt like he was telling me the truth. I reached over and picked up the phone in my hand. I dialed Billy's cell phone number and let it ring.
"Lacy?" Billy asked as he answered the phone on the first ring.
"Yeah. It's me," I said as I rested my head back on the couch. "I want to talk to you about what's been happening."
"Okay. I'll be there in a few minutes," Billy said before he hung up the phone.
A few minutes had passed and I heard Billy's car pull in front of the house. I got up from the couch and slowly walked over to the front door. I opened the door just as Billy was about to knock. I stood there and moved aside as Billy walked in. I closed the door behind Billy and walked over to the couch. I sat back down as Billy sat down on the coffee table in front of me. I looked up at Billy.
"I want to tell you that what you saw wasn't me. I didn't do that. That girl threw herself onto me and was kissing me. I would never hurt you like that, ever," Billy said as he leaned towards me.
"Billy, it just hurt so bad when I walked into that bar and saw you with some other girl," I said as tears welded in my eyes. "I didn't know what to think. My heart felt like it was broken into a million pieces. I love you so much and when I saw you with that blonde girl, I didn't know what to do," I said as tears came down my cheeks. "I've never felt like this before with any other guy. I feel so safe when I am around you."
Billy pulled me into a hug and whispered into my ear, "I'm sorry."
I felt more tears rolling down my cheeks as Billy held me close. I believed Billy when he told me that he didn't cheat on me. I was glad to have Billy back, but would we be alright from then on?
