Thanks everyone, you are all wonderful .
Billie sat up, as if waking up for a bad dream to find she was in bed alone. but not in her bed. She closed her eyes, and pulled the sheets away from her body to find herself completely naked. She heard the shower running and stood up, quickly re-dressing herself and going out into the kitchen. She ran her hands through her hair, quickly doing it up while looking for her shoes.
"Hey..." She turned around, to find Chris dripping wet in nothing but a towel. "Uh. Hey." "Uhm, there's coffee." He spoke, pointing to the kitchen. Billie nodded, walking in to pour them both a cup, adding milk to her own, and two sugars to both. "Uhhh..." "Yeah." Billie replied to the noise Chris made. "I guess..." He ran a hand through his hair as she turned around to hand him the coffee. He smiled in thanks and looked up at her.
"I'm staying with Mya." He spoke. Billie was somewhat surprised by the outburst. "Uh, well. I expected as much." She chuckled to herself, somehow feeling bitter and a little bit sick to her stomach. "So..." "I'm not gonna say anything Chris, this was just a mistake." She said, stressing the final word.
Chris opened his mouth to speak, to apologize, to tell her it wasn't a mistake, that he'd wanted it forever but there was a knock on the door. "Yo Sabin, open up! The games about to start!" Chris looked back to Billie, who began to freak out. "Uh, you jump in the shower, take some of Mya's clothes, I'll just tell them I slept on the couch." "Okay." Billie said, walking away.
"Shit." Chris breathed out, going to unlock the door. "Man! Put some clothes on, seriously!" Sonjay yelled, walking into the room and almost knocking Chris over in the process. "Uh, yeah. Um, I'll go get dressed." Chris said, walking away as the rest of the guys piled in and sat around the room. "Hey, is B here?" Alex asked him from the living room. "Yeah, she's in the shower! Why?" He asked, sticking his head back into the room. "Uh, just wondering..." Alex replied. Because I went to her room for a little comfort and warmth and she wasn't there.
Chris walked into the bedroom and there was Billie, her back facing him, shirtless, trying to put her bra on. She pulled one of Mya's t-shirts, which she found in the chest of drawers over her head, and threw on a pair of jeans. She turned to find Chris staring at her. "Look, B..." He took a step closer to her and she sighed, crossing her arms over her chest.
"I didn't mean to say anything that was going to hurt you..." He whispered. It was kind of hard to pay attention to what his mouth was saying while he was standing there without clothes on. "Hello!?" Chris and Mya both looked to the doorway. That voice sounded too much like Mya's. Chris grabbed his clothes and threw them all on, Billie looked away as he slipped on his boxers and pants and then his shirt.
Billie stuck her head into the living room, where Petey was greeting Mya with a smile. "Mya, hey! What are you doing back so early?" Billie asked, coming out of the bedroom to greet her. She smiled at her best friend, dropping her bags to the floor. "They delayed the flight, and told me to wait, then put me on the next one, then that got delayed, then I went to a late dinner with Julie because I knew I wouldn't get back here till the next morning, and then I stayed at her place." She said, in one short breath. "Okkkayyyy." Billie replied.
Suddenly, Mya wrapped her arms around Billie and held her tight. "I've been a really terrible friend this week Billie, when all you've done is help. I love you, babe." She whispered in her ear. Mya pulled away only to find Bilie tearing up. "I-I'm sorry-" All Chris saw as he walked out of the bathroom was Billie running out of the room and Mya standing in confusion. Chris looked around the room and saw everyone looking back at him. "Oh, shit."
