Ok, kind of short, but it's just a filler chapter so bear with me. Thanks everyone for the amazing reviews, you guys really keep me going! And I LOVED everyones response to Alice! You guys had me cracking up lol. I promise I'll respond to reviews next chapter, I just want to get this out ASAP but still, thank you all so much for reviewing! I LOVE it.

Oh and stupid me began the chapter in Darla's room, but it got too fun so I just ended it in Billy's. All P.O.V's will be back to normal

Alright enjoy and thank you!

"Wake the fuck up bitch, you're gonna be late!"

Darla winced as her father shook her awake. She rubbed her eyes groggily and got off the couch that was currently her bed. After wetting her bed for the third time in a week, her father had decided she was no longer worthy of a bed and moved her to the dirty, smelly couch. She grimaced; fifteen years old and wetting the bed. But it wasn't her fault! A few weeks ago he had begun using her as an ashtray, and the pain alone was enough to give her nightmares.

She walked to her room and searched in her drawers for something to wear. She wished they weren't so bare. She hadn't bought a decent pair of clothing since her mother had left a few years back. The neighborhood girls tried to help as much as they could, but she usually received their clothes old and tattered.

"Bones' bastards here." Her dad grunted, already starting his drinking.

Darla quickly put on her sweater and jeans and walked out of her room to find a fifteen year old Billy Darley, smoking a cigarette and glaring at her father. "You wanna say that again?"

Darla grabbed Billy's arm and about dragged him out the door. "Come on Billy."

Six years they'd known each other and so much had changed. The nice little boy who used to share her lunch was well on his way to being the scariest bully on the playground. Billy had built quite a reputation for himself ever since he had begun to work for his father. She'd barely seen him all summer, and when she had, she was shocked to see her friend was now a drug dealer.

She glanced at him as they began to walk toward their school, making sure to stick close to him. Their neighborhood was one of the roughest in all of Boston. People were stabbed, raped, and killed on a daily basis. But Billy walked with such confidence, she was sure no one would mess with them. His once youthful and boyish good looks were now contorted into a permanent scowl. It seemed like he was always angry.

"Billy wait for me!"

They turned in time to see little Joe Darley running toward him. "Joey come on, you know we don't go to school together no more." Billy said, pushing his ten year old brother away.

Joe pouted. "But you promised!"

Darla could see Billy's patience wearing thin, so she bent down and patted Joe's head. "Alright Joey, if you go to your own school today I'll buy you ice cream after school."

Joe went from pouting to grinning at the mention of ice cream. "Chocolate ice cream?" He asked eyes wide.

Darla smiled and nodded. "Any kind you want."

"Oh boy Darla!" He jumped on Darla, causing her to fall on the floor and laugh hysterically as he planted wet sloppy kisses all over her.

"Go home Joe." Billy growled. His brother looked like an idiot.

Joe stood up and gave Darla a final hug before skipping back to his house. Darla smiled at his retreating form and pulled herself up. "He's so cute." She gushed.

"You didn't have to do that." Billy mumbled.

Darla shrugged. Joe was like the brother she never had. He was sweet no matter what you did to him. He was even nice to Bones. The asshole who beat him when Billy wasn't around to protect him. "Haven't seen you in a while." She said quietly. Darla had changed over that summer too. The over confident, brave, and out spoken girl had turned into nothing more than a mouse. A frightened, timid, and quiet mouse.

Billy shrugged and stubbed out his cigarette. "Been busy." To be honest, he felt awkward. He was at an age where being just friends with a girl was damn near close to impossible. He was only fifteen and he had fucked half his block. From girls who were younger than him, to girls who were ten years older than him. Billy Darley had turned into quite a ladies man.

They showed up just as everyone else was arriving to school. Billy's group of friends now included a few of the older boys at Stokley High. To say Darla Donnelly stuck out like a sore thumb was an understatement.

"How you doin' Donnelly?"

Darla gave Bodie as small smile. "I've been good."

Jamie, one of the older boys, gave Darla a long lust filled looked. "Damn Darla, you've grown up!"

Blushing, Darla's confidence soared for a moment, before Billy brought it back down. Laughing, he responded to Jamie's comment. "She aint nothing. You seen the tits on Angela? Tell me those aint amazing."

Feeling highly embarrassed, Darla mumbled something before trying to make her way inside the school, and away from her hormone driven friends.

"Hey Donnelly, hold up." Turning around, she saw Billy walk toward her. "Don't go walking in here alone."

That was Billy. As much as he was oblivious to Darla's crush on him, he always wanted to protect her. And she loved that about him. "I can walk to class alone." She said quietly.

Rolling his eyes, Billy put his arm around her shoulders. "I aint havin' no one think they can take advantage of you when you're alone."

Before she could respond, a tall blond walked up to Billy, HER best friend, and gave him the most passionate kiss Darla had ever seen. She felt her blood boil in that moment. Who the hell did this girl think she was? Everyone knew Darla and Billy belonged to each other. At least in Darla's mind.

The blond in question was none other than Alice Banks, Stokley High's most popular and wanted girl. The boys wanted her, and the girls wanted to BE her.

Darla Donnelly was not one of those girls.

Fucking Alice Banks. I hated that woman with all of my being. I guess you're wondering who exactly she is. Alice was Billy's first OFFICIAL girlfriend. And the bane of my existence. All those years of being there for Billy, and he had dropped me fast when Alice came into the picture. Sure she was…pretty. But she was a grade A bitch, and none of the boys liked her.

Imagine a female Billy Darley and you got Alice.

"I mean what the hell is she doing here?" I yelled angrily to Sam as we started our shift the following afternoon.

Sam looked at me sympathetically. "Baggy told me she's only here for a while."

I snorted and continued to clean the bar. Every time you put Alice and I in a room together, you were just asking for trouble. Take yesterday for example.

"Darla, I almost didn't recognize you. Did you gain some weight?"
My eyes almost bugged out of my head when I heard her voice. I KNEW that voice.

"Alice," I growled. "What an unpleasant surprise." I said with the fakest smile I was capable of.

The FAKE blond gave me a hard look before squeezing Billy closer to her. It took all I had not to break her stupid neck! "I was just asking Billy here if that little, pathetic, desperate troll was still following him around." She smiled at me sweetly. "And here you are."

Bodie jumped and pulled me back as I raised my fist to the little bitch! "Watch it Banks. You're in MY neighborhood."

Alice shrugged. "Still a simple hood I see."

My eyes went wide and I escaped Bodie's clutches, but I felt Billy grab my shoulder and give me a warning glance. Un-fucking-believable. "Get off me." Shrugging him off, I walked out of the bar roughly pushing Alice aside.

"Always nice to see you Darla." I heard her say sarcastically.

I turned around and gave her a sugar sweet smile. "Just my way of saying welcome back." I reached in and softly whispered in her ear, "Good luck bitch." Before walking away and slamming the door to the bar open.

"You know he came home late last night." I said angrily, scrubbing the hell out of a dirty spot.

Sam patted my back. "He was here. And she left earlier than he did."

I shrugged before giving up on the spot and laying my stupid head on my arms. "I hate her Sam! I mean what's she doing here anyway." I mumbled.

Sam sighed. "I don't know. But she's up to no good, I'll tell you that."

I groaned. Ever since Billy and I had gotten together, it was like I never got rid of that bitch. After she moved away a few years ago, I thought we were done with her.

"Hey Darla,"

I looked up and saw Jacob grinning at me. "Hey Jake." I said unenthusiastically.

His smile faltered. "You alright."

"Just peachy," I said sarcastically. Sighing, I tried to give Jake a small smile. "I'm sorry Jacob, I've just got a lot on my mind." He nodded and ordered a beer. "What are you doing here anyway? It's too early for the boys to show up."

Jake shrugged. "I have to meet Heco here." I nodded and handed him his beer. Jake got up and began to walk toward a table, before he turned around and grabbed my hand. "You're a hell of a lot prettier by the way."

I grinned and squeezed Jakes hand. "Thank you." He nodded and walked away. Now why couldn't my idiot boyfriend be like Jacob. Sweet and kind.

"Be careful with that boy."

I turned and saw Sam with her hands on her hips. "What are you talking about?"

She rolled her eyes. "Oh please Darla, I've said it before and I'll say it again; that boy has it bad for you."

I glared at her. "Don't start that shit again."

Sam laughed. "Fine, but don't come crying to me when Billy notices the looks he gives you."

"The moment you admit to liking Tommy, will be the moment I admit Jake likes me." She squirmed and I smiled. "Uh-huh, that's what I thought."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Man was I fucked.

Imagine having your balls ripped out of your body. Yeah, this was ten times worse. See I had one big problem. And her name was Alice Banks.

Alice was the most intense female I'd ever met. The bitch was crazy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Darla. But Alice…she was something else.

Alice was the first girl I had actually considered a GIRLFRIEND. She was crazy, passionate, talked like me, could out-drink all the boys, and fucked like it was her last time. If there was a female version of me, Alice would be it.

Of course Darla had always hated her. They both hated each other like fucking crazy. I still wasn't too sure why.

I was still fucked though. I thought I had seen the last of Alice years ago. After Darla and I got together I thought I'd never see her again. But when I saw her yesterday, fuck! It brought back some good fucking memories. We even talked for a few hours, and damn but she looked good.

But see I was fucked because I got mad at Darla for getting mad at Alice. Confused yet? Yeah me too.

I'd be the first to admit it. I, Billy Darley, was fucked.
