Chapter 17. The end is the beginning
Well you can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
Well you can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
Well you can stick me in a hole
And you can pray all day for rain
You can shoot me in the leg
Just to try to make me beg
And you can leave me there for days
And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home
And I will survive
'cause you're my Mississippi princess
You're my California queen
Like the duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the face
You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but
I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home
You can make a couple calls
And tell your brothers I'm in town
Put a bounty on my head
And tell my parents that I'm dead
And hope to hell I'm never found
You can steal me the keys
To your daddy's Cadillac
You can tamper with the brakes
Call it a mistake
And pray I'm never coming back
Follow You Home – Nickelback
Joe looked at the clock. 6:12pm. He hasn't seen his older brother the whole day and he got big news. Not that he had decided to tell him. Joe was in this hard place where he didn't know if he helped his brother out or kept it from him to make Julie's life a bit easier. She'd suffer a lot when the doctor died and that might keep her away from Billy for good. But Billy needed to know about the cops. Fuck. That's why he never tried to do the right thing. It never worked. He was still undecided when the door of the room where he was at the Office was thrown open. Joe jumped at the harsh sound and turned to see Billy coming in.
"What's up, Joe?" He asked in a half dead, half angry voice.
There was nothing new in that. Billy was always half lifeless, half angry.
"Nothing." He casually answered with a shrug.
"Oh yeah? And why have you been inside this room for the past two hours for?"
"Who told you that?"
"Tommy." He answered while sitting down on a shabby chair.
Joe cursed him mentally. "That's not of his fucking business."
Bodie also busted the door open, cutting Billy off when he was about to answer to his brother. "What?!"
"Billy, three fuckers of the K-2 are here." that gang was the biggest rival of Billy's since Rawson died.
"What the fuck do they want?" Joe sighed in relief as Billy furrowed. He totally lost him there.
"Talk to ya." Bodie answered in disbelief. Gangs never talked to each other.
"Go get Baggy and Heco. Joe, you fucking stay here." Billy ordered.
"Yeah." Joe shrugged. He couldn't care less.
Billy trotted down the stairs. The only thing he had on his mind was the thought that he didn't need any of this. He was about to come out of the Office shooting, not hearing what those bastards had to say. But he didn't do any of that. Bodie, Baggy and Heco were already waiting him.
Heco was the one who opened the door and the first to step outside. Baggy and Bodie followed and stopped at the top of the stairs that lead to the front door to wait for Billy. The moves seemed choreographed and could have been showed in slow motion if this were a movie, which was not.
Billy eyed down the three gang opponents standing at the bottom of the stairs. "What?" He angrily asked.
Slayer was the name of the one who acted as a spokesperson. "We want our money." He stated matter-of-factly, only he didn't look to Billy while doing it, he eyed Heco instead. For that Billy knew he had done shit.
"What fucking money?" Billy called for Slayer's attention.
He motioned at Heco's direction with his chin before saying "Ask your friend."
"What the fuck did you do, Heco?" Billy asked in a lower voice, turning his head towards his gang pal. Bodie and Baggy's eyes never left the three strangers.
"Billy, that was our corner. I was only selling the shit. It is our fucking corner." The last line he said to Slayer.
"Where was it?" Billy kept his eyes on Heco.
"Corner of the Darts with the Inferno."
"Are you fucking positive?"
"Yeah, man."
Billy finally turned to the intruder. "The place is ours."
"The fuck it is!" Slayer started to raise his hand but his two friends caught him. Besides being in number disadvantage, they saw that Bodie and Baggy were already hands on their weapon.
They were a well trained bunch. "Let me go!" He protested. "Your fucking friend made good money there. That ain't your place."
"It's our fucking corner!" Billy raised his voice, being already done with this discussion.
"The fuck it is!" Slayer repeated. "We came here for the money. Give it all for us…"
"Or what?" Billy challenged.
"Your choice, fucker. We know your weakness."
"Get the fuck out of my property!" Billy yelled, totally pissed off.
"Or what?" Slayer mocked Billy. Before he could take the smartass smirk of his face a bullet hit his Achilles heel and the guy went down on his knees hissing in pain. Billy gave Bodie a high five look.
"There's no fucking 'or what' for you. Get the fuck outta here now or we'll shoot y'all."
"You've been warned, Darley!" The shortest of the three rivals yelled when they already had their back turned to the Office. Slayer was being quickly carried away.
"That was a fucking bullshit." Billy spitted on the floor before coming back into the Office. All the commotion didn't bother him a bit. His weakness had run away from him. There was nothing to worry about.
…
A week passed. Julie was feeling better than when she got back to the city. She was the strong, confident and sarcastic Julie once again. Joe didn't come back after his visit, nor did anyone of the Darley gang, let alone their leader. Julie thought that was because Billy had finally realized she really didn't want anything to do with him. It was all a good dangerous fun. Her head was back on the right place.
"You're aware that next week is my birthday, right?" Ali casually asked while she cleaned her tray with a cloth.
"Hmm… I think I've heard something about it." Julie played along while finishing up an espresso.
"Cool. So I was thinking about maybe hitting, you know, the Hell's Angels?" Town's coolest night club.
Julie pretended to think about it for a moment. She had been dying to go there since Joe's birthday. That seemed a lifetime ago. Damn. There it went all her effort to not think about the Darley brothers. It's been three days since her last thought. She was counting and now would have to start over. But she kept her dislikable memory from Ally and answered with an excited smile.
"You can count me in!"
"Crap, you're the best!" Ally giggled and gave her friend a one-arm hug. Ally was delighted to have her smartass friend back, instead of that walking stone from the past week.
"Yeah, I know." Julie gave her a one-eyed blink and a big smile.
"Oh, and you bring Mark."
"If he's able to take a break from the freaking hospital."
…
"Is it gonna be tonight?"
"Yeah. It's all set." Slayer replied with a nod.
…
"Hello?" Julie answered her phone without checking the ID call. She was busy throwing little marshmallows inside a cup of hot chocolate for a waiting little girl.
"Hey, Ju. How's your day so far?" Mark asked. Julie could hear the smile on his voice and she smiled in response.
"Busy. But I got nice tips today, so I'm good. What about yours?"
"It just turned great when I got to know that I can leave by seven tonight. So what you say about dinner at eight?"
"Well, I don't know… I might consider it if you beg a little bit." She joked while filling up a plate with donuts.
"Aw Julie, would you pretty please give me the honor to have dinner with me tonight?"
"Are you kneeled?"
"I'm on my knees in the middle of the hospital's hall. I just lost a cracked head for you." He couldn't hold the laugher anymore.
"Gee. Now I feel special!" She answered with dark humor. "Sure, do you want me to drive to your place?"
"Nah, we're going out. I'll pick you up at eight."
"It's a date!" She giggled and didn't wait for a reply to hang up.
…
Julie got into Mark's car at 8:10pm. "Say" by John Mayer was set as the background sound. She was wearing a turquoise bandage dress above her knees and nude heels. Her hair was a sexy mess of waves and the only jewel she wore was a silver charm bracelet. Mark couldn't keep himself from smiling at her sight. She was at the same time so elegant and provocative. The only thing that bothered him was her connection with the gang lord. Even though they haven't been in contact since they got back and Julie never spoke of him, his influence was buried in her. Deep down, but there nonetheless. Her dreams were calm but never silent.
"Are you up for some chinese?" Mark asked before starting the car that was parked at the alley by the coffee shop.
"Sure." She answered although what she really wanted was a Big Mac or something. But Mark didn't eat McDonald's.
"I'm so glad they let me out earlier today. I bought you a chocolate cake, you'll love it." He winked at Julie, who got the double invitation behind the cake and smiled.
Mark was finally starting the car when a pair of headlights illuminated the alley. Both Mark and Julie looked behind them to see a dark gray car coming full speed ahead on their direction. Before Mark could yell for Julie to bolt from the car, the other vehicle sent them right into the brick wall. None had had the chance to put the seat belt on.
"What the fuck?!" Julie yelled.
"We need to call the police!" Mark started finishing for the cell phone in his pockets. Right when he grabbed it another crash came and the device went flying to some dark corner near his shoe. With the second bump Julie's body was tossed forward and she hit her forehead on the dashboard.
"Are you ok?" Mark asked when he saw the blood trail down on her face.
"Yeah. Who the fuck is doing this?!" The car started to back away but Julie didn't have a chance to sigh in relief. Another car joined the first, although they didn't attack. They were stopped there, with the headlights blinding them. And then the front door of the second car was opened and a guy stepped out.
…
Jamie, Tommy and Joe were on a casual driving around the city. There wasn't much to do tonight. Billy and the others were at the Four Roses while Heco was the only one really working, since he somehow started the mess with the K-2 gang. Joe started telling Jamie, who was the driver of the night, where he should go. He casually wanted to see how things were going at Julie's. Joe never told Billy she was back, he was unsure of the reason, but he wanted to check on her now and then. The great thing is that both Jamie and Tommy were totally clueless of where he was leading them.
When they got closer to the coffee shop the trio noticed the parked cars and what their light were illuminating. Five guys, all dressed in dark colors and two others in light colors, one was a guy in a white shirt and the other was a woman in a blue dress. The guy was being kicked in the stomach and Joe's blood went cold when he took in the woman's face, which was being forced against the brick wall.
"Fuck!" He exclaimed, what made Jamie to hit the brakes.
"What?!"
"Oh fuck! Call Billy! Call Billy now!" He shouted. Jamie was already putting the phone on his ear. "Tell him it's Julie! Someone is beating the fuck out of her!"
Billy's phone started ringing when he was about to take a shot at the pool table. He took his shot and let the disturbing thing ringing.
"Aren't ya gonna get that?" Bodie asked.
"No." He answered curtly. Billy was losing the game.
"It might be Heco." Bodie reasoned his friend. They had to keep a close eye on him or he'd end up getting them more trouble.
Even though he didn't take much on his words, Billy didn't forget they had been threatened by the K-2.
Billy sighed heavily before sliding the phone open without looking at the ID call. "What?"
"Dude, your brother is fucking freaking out!" He heard Jamie saying, then a muffled noise and it was Joe speaking.
"Billy, it's Julie! Hurry the fuck up! There are five and they are beating her up!"
He didn't have to say another word. Billy closed his phone, threw the stick on the table- startling everyone around it- and ran to his car. Bodie and Baggy needed no command to follow. Billy wasn't even thinking on what he was doing. The thought of Julie being away never crossed his mind. In record time the black Mustang was racing through the streets at twice as the speed limit.
"Mark!" Julie called since she couldn't see him. She still didn't know what those guys were doing there and most important: why they were doing that to them. She didn't have to wonder for long.
"Julie!" Mark answered before coughing. By the sound of it, it looked like he was coughing blood.
"What the fuck do you want?! Let me go!" Julie again tried to get rid of the arms which pushed her hard against the wall. But now four arms held her, instead of two, since she almost managed to escape at first.
"This is only to scare your boyfriend, sweetie." One of the men whispered on her ear.
"My boyfriend is right there on the floor!"
"Nah, I don't mean that one. You know who I'm talking about."
"You don't know what the fuck you are doing! I have nothing to do with Billy Darley anymore!" Again she was in a situation like this because of him.
"But he certainly does with you. Now stop-fucking-moving!" Each word was a hit with Julie's head on the wall. She felt totally dizzy and couldn't support her own weight. Her legs gave up and the arms released her to fall on the cold dirty asphalt.
"Leave her alone!" Mark started to get up to go on Julie's defense but got kicked on the stomach again before his knee made it out of the floor.
"Now sweetie, tell me: how much do you think your pretty boy will be willing to pay for your nice ass?"
"What? Are you kidnapping me?" Julie groggily asked. This wasn't making any sense at all.
"Oh fuck, what did I expect? You gotta be damn fucking stupid to get involved with someone like Billy Darley. Honey, you can consider this as a hunt. You're the bait. Paying or not, Darley dies and so does you." The man, who distinctly acted as the boss, turned to the other. "Shoot that bastard and tie her. Let's not waste, she's hot." He stated as a matter of fact.
It took Julie a bit longer than necessary to realize what they were going to do to her. She started screaming, kicking and punching. No one would touch her without her permission. She was so worried about not letting anyone violate her that she forgot to check if Mark was still alive.
"Let me go! Stay the fuck away from me!" She managed to hit the men around her a couple of times, but suddenly she became this funny and exciting game that every one of them wanted to be a part of. One guy pulled out of his pocket a pocket-knife. While the others held her he started to cut the thick fabric of her dress, which was already all torn and dirty.
…
Tommy and Jamie had to hold Joe inside the car. They couldn't face them alone but the young Darley couldn't stand and watch what they were doing to her. He wouldn't give a damn if this was any other woman. But he cared for this one and most of all; cared for his brother sanity- that never was the best.
"Joe, you're gonna get your ass killed! Fucking wait for Billy!" Jamie tried to reason him but the youngster was about to run and start a fist fight with the aggressors.
Joe knew it was Billy when he saw a pair of lights coming down the road, even though he couldn't make out which car that was. And he was right.
The car hadn't fully stopped when Billy jumped out of it. Now Joe was free to follow, as the others did. Now they could face them head on.
If this were another kind of situation, Billy would have laughed at how bad those guys were. At the moment he approached with his own gang the men totally let go of Julie to face them, giving Joe free room to sneakily run to where she was before they could have her as their hostage.
Joe kneeled beside her. She was bleeding pretty badly and he was pretty sure she didn't know what was going on anymore. He saw how many times they hit her head and how hard they punched and kicked her. The younger Darley already had a gun in hand when one of the guys realized they had let go of their bait. He never felt so pity towards someone as he did now for her. Her dress was all trashed and exposed her body in a disturbing way. Her hair was all over the places, so he moved the locks out from her face to ease her breathing.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Billy yelled.
"I knew you'd come, Darley. I was ready to kill but I'm in a good mood today. What do you say about working for me and we forget it all?"
Billy barked a laugh before shooting the guy in the head without need to stop to aim. Before the other guys had a chance to put their hands on their guns they were showered with bullets and dropped dead on the cold street. Billy then turned to Mark. He saw it all and now looked up at Billy with pleading eyes.
"You fucking had it better than her." Billy stated. He still hadn't really set his eyes on Julie but he knew that much. She could only be passed out to not be screaming.
"I was at the wrong place at the wrong time." Mark answered before spitting a ball of blood.
Bodie got closer to his boss. "Ya want me to do it?"
Just then police sirens could be heard not too far away. Someone surely heard the shooting and called the cops.
"No." He answered giving the doctor a cold glare. He wouldn't force it on the doctor with Julie right there. Billy simply gave him an extremely hard kick on the guts and walked away to where Julie laid, her head rested on Joe's lap.
"Billy, we need to take her to the hospital." Joe said to his big brother.
Billy's face hardened as he took in Julie's outlook, but his eyes softened as he saw her.
"The fucking cops are coming, Billy." Baggy warned.
Billy kneeled and took Julie on his arms, she was passed out.
"We can't show up at the hospital, Billy." Bodie said worried they'd finally get caught because of the muffing girl.
Billy already had a ready answer. "Baggy, call your sister. She'll meet us at the Four Roses and take Julie to the hospital. Three minutes."
That was an impossible timing, but he called his sister anyway and passed the order along. By the mention of Julie and Billy's name at the same sentence she was already running down to the garage.
"What about the doctor?" Tommy asked.
"Someone will find him." Joe answered for his brother.
…
Julie woke to the beeping of the machine attached to her, it was so annoying. Apart from that, she could feel nothing. Her senses were numb and her eye sight wasn't well focused. It seemed she was on drugs, but she didn't do that. So she must be dreaming. She was laid on a hospital bed with light blue sheets. The room was dark, so it must be night time. She was ready to close her heavy eyelids when she took in the dark form sitting on a chair not far from her bed. As she frowned the person got up and walked towards her. She started to panic. What did this person want?
The person had a black hood on, so she couldn't see the hair color or anything, but she could tell it was a man. He stood by her bed and ran his gloved hand through her hair. Then he bent down and kissed her softly on her split lip. His facial hair tickled her. She closed her eyes to taste the kiss and never opened them to the same scene.
…
"Julie, can you hear me?" A female voice asked and Julie forced her eyelids open.
"Yeah?" She answered unsure if that was a rhetorical question.
"Oh, God!" Julie's eyes focused on Ally's smiling face.
"Oh, hi." Her voice cracked and she felt her throat completely dry. "Can I get some water?"
"Sure!" Ally took a glass from the nightstand and put the sucker in Julie's mouth.
"Thanks." Her voice was back to normal. "What happened? How long have I been here? Where's Mark?!" Her voice grew panicked at the last question.
"Relax." Ally cautioned her. "He's in the room next door, almost done recovering." She frowned, "You've been out for two days."
"Two days?!" Julie's eyes grew and the machine let both know her heart started racing, as if Julie couldn't feel it.
"No, hey. Stay calm. Breathe."
"Okay." Julie took a deep breath to calm herself.
"We need to talk." Ally brought the chair closer to the bed and leaned closer to Julie's head. "It was Billy's fault again, wasn't it?"
"It never gets old, does it?" Julie answered with dark sarcasm.
"I talked to Mark. He told the police you both blacked out and saw nothing. You went down first. That will keep you away from the
cops. That detective will be here the moment she knows you're awake."
And sure she was. Julie told the story Ally had sold her. She did black out, but it wasn't before she saw Joe running to her. Julie didn't see but somehow she was sure Billy had been there too. In two ways she was in the hospital because of him. First she was in the hospital because those punks tried to do something to her to get to him, again. And second she was here because he saved her before they killed her, again.
Two days passed. Julie was feeling much better and thinking clearer without all the amount of pain killers they were injecting on her veins. She now couldn't wait to get the hell out of this place.
Mark came to visit. He looked pale and had fading marks on his face, but he looked good all the same.
"Hey!" Julie cheered, she had been alone the whole day.
Mark gave her a small smile that didn't touch his eyes. "Hi", he answered in an unexcited tone. Shouldn't he be happy to see her recovery? "How are you feeling?" He professionally asked.
"Better. Are you taking on my case?" Julie teased, trying to light up the mood.
"No, I'm still off." Mark answered looking at his shoes.
Oh, shit. She had seen this kind of reaction before.
"Julie, I need to talk to you." Mark said with unsure eyes. Julie looked annoyed. She hated the stalling. Why didn't he just say what he wanted and got it over with?
"Then do it. It's not like I'm going anywhere." Her tone changed from cheery to acid.
"Okay…" He ran his fingers through his dark hair and sat on the chair near her bed. "It's the second time this has happened to me." He started, stalling again.
"Yeah, I know and I'm sorry. It's my fifth actually, so you ain't on the top target."
"Fifth?" He asked confused. But Julie wouldn't go there. First was Rawson trying to slaughter her on the street, then the gang confront - she didn't really get hurt on this one, but it was still an attack against her life. Next was the shooting Rawson pulled off at the Falcon- she wasn't badly injured, Billy got the worst from that one. And the last was the almost drowning. Julie leaved the gun pointing done by Billy out of the list. After all, he did save her from all the situations.
"Yeah. But it doesn't matter. Nothing happened."
"Nothing happened?" He incredulously asked. "It's all over the papers. We got beaten up and five men are dead."
"It's not like they didn't deserve it…"
"Julie! It's not your call to make. You can't decide who lives and who dies."
"Then whose is it? What do you want me to say? 'Poor guys! I can't believe they tried to rape me and now they're dead. I'm so sad!?!'" She angrily raised her voice at him.
"You look more like him as days pass by."
"What the fuck do you mean?!" She asked even though she knew what he meant.
"I can't keep up, Julie. You're killing yourself by letting him do it. I can't do it."
"Mark, are you insane? When did Billy Darley end up in the middle of this conversation?!"
"When you decided to let him in your life. You did a terrible mistake and I tried to help you. But you don't wanna be helped, I can do nothing."
God, she was so angry. He was giving up on her, just like the other losers she dated. In his own way, Billy was the only one who always stood up for her and never left her. Even her father gave up on her. "You know what I think? You are a fucking coward! I've pushed Darley out of my life, but you can't stand to live with his ghost. You're scared shitless you're no match for him." The poisoned words spilled of her tongue. She was so pissed she couldn't control them, not that she intended to.
"I knew you never got over him. Boy, I was so stupid." He said to himself.
"Mark, get the fuck out of my room."
"Julie, we don't really need to end up like this. I just came here that I don't wanna walk around looking behind my shoulder."
"They don't! Look straight ahead when you get the fuck out of here and don't you dare to look back at me." Julie held the tears back. She wouldn't cry for him.
"Fine. I just wanted you to know that I tried." Mark took a step closer but Julie turned her head away and looked through the window to the rainy sky. "Ok, then. I hope you can leave soon and that you are able to stay alive. Goodbye, Julie."
"Bye." She answered shortly. "Son of a bitch." She cursed loudly when he closed the door behind him, without looking behind.
…
"Are you sure you're well enough to do this?" Ally cautiously asked her friend. Although her marks were hidden with make-up, she was afraid Julie wouldn't be able to stand for too long without going through some pain.
"Are you sure you want me to answer this again?" Julie asked annoyed while looking through her closet for something to wear. They were going to the Hell's Angels to celebrate Ally's birthday.
"Fine. But you'll tell me if you get dizzy or whatever, right?"
"Yeah, Geez! I'll tell you if I have to pee too, ok?"
"You promise?" Ally laughed despite her real concern.
"Yes, mom! Now, it's pretty hot in there, right? I don't need to wear a coat."
"Yeah, it's warm inside."
"Cool. Are you picking Ashley up?"
"No, she's meeting us there. Talking about her, the young Darley kept bugging her for news about you. They couldn't show up at the hospital because of the cops."
Julie ignored the plural and couldn't help but smile. "He's a sweetie, a really cool dude."
Ally arched a brown as Julie didn't ask if the older Darley had asked about her, which she knew he had. She decided to drop the subject and get ready to hit the coolest club ever. This night was going to kick ass! Ally envied Julie in the sense that she wasn't bothered about her breaking up with Mark. She was pissed at him, that showed when she tried to approach the subject, but not in a way to cause her pity. It just seemed Julie would like to take a real hit on his head.
…
A Pussycat Dolls song was blustering inside the night club when they entered. Ally had called and booked them a table. Ashley showed ten minutes after, wearing a yellow mini dress with red heels. Ally had black pants on, combined with a dark green top and black heels. Julie wore a black high-waist leather mini skirt with a blood red blouse and black pumps. You wouldn't guess what she went through by just looking at her.
The girls sat down and had a few drinks for about forty minutes, then they couldn't stay put anymore and got up to dance. They sang along with all the songs and moved they bodies to the sexy beat. Julie was the only one who wasn't aware of the guys around checking them out. But Ashley was the only who noticed those four pairs of eyes, for she knew they'd be there.
Julie laughed to herself before turning to Ally. "I gotta pee!" She yelled and her friend also laughed.
"Okay!" Ally yelled back when Julie already had her back turned to her. She kept her head down while making her way through the mass of dancers. She really didn't need to pee, she just had a bit of a headache and the restroom was the most silent place except for outside of the club.
Just One more moment, thats all thats needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding.
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it
I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.
By now you know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you
Nickelback – I'd Come For You
Julie entered the restroom just when a red headed girl was leaving. They gave each other a friendly small smile and each followed they way. Julie rested her body against the wall for a couple of minutes, she was alone in there. Then she decided to wash her neck with cold water, that'd make her feel better in no time.
This was a fancy place to hang out. The sinks where in the middle of the room and formed a circle of glass with mirrors for the girls to look themselves- it was beautiful. Julie bent down and splashed the cold liquid carefully on her neck to not mess her make-up or her blouse. She straightened her back and looked on the mirror in front of her before looking for the paper towel.
Julie jumped when she saw Billy Darley standing behind her. She immediately thought she was hallucinating but gave up on the idea when she saw the smirk on his face for the scare he gave her.
"What are you doing here?" She turned to face him and that almost knocked her breath away. He was just the same she remembered him: bald head, facial hair, piercing eyes, tall, muscular and tattooed. But now he wore darker jeans than his usual and for the first time he was in a shirt- a plaid black long sleeved one with its sleeves rolled up, what exposed his tattoos and made him sexier than ever. He had the same shoes on. The watch and the chain cross around his neck also were the same.
Julie took a deep breath and tried to keep eye contact with him.
"Isn't this the hottest club in the fucking town? Sooner or latter I'd have to check it out." He answered with a deep husky voice.
Billy also had analyzed her looks. It was impossible to determinate which part of her body he had stared the most; it was a tie between her long exposed legs, her breasts that seemed bigger because of the fitting blouse and her ass that looked incredible in black leather.
"I meant in the ladies' room." Julie allowed a smirk to play with her lips as she rested against the sink and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Billy didn't miss that the movement made her boobs to pop up a bit. He had to keep himself in check.
"Oh, that". He casually raised his browns then shrugged, "I liked to explore." He simply stood there, his legs apart and his arms loose beside his body. Then he decided to end the easy talk. "How are you feeling?"
Of course he wouldn't let her go that easily. "I'm good, thanks for asking… Hmm, I guess I should thank you for the other night as well."
"You don't need to thank me." He seriously stated. He didn't want that, it only made him feel worse, guiltier.
"I think I do. Anyway, well, I guess I'll see you around." Julie casually stated and started to walk for the door. Billy was standing on her way and when she was about to pass by him he grabbed her arm, making her to stop. "Hey!" She protested although his grip wasn't hurting her at all, even it being strong.
"You left without saying a fucking word, Julie." He accused with hard eyes burying into hers.
"You gave me no choice." She accused back with the same kind of glare he was giving her.
"I made a fucking mistake, can't you live with that?"
"Don't start, Darley. I know you're not perfect. Ha!" She barked a laugh. "You're far from that, actually." That statement made him tighten his hold on her. "But I never asked for a perfect man."
"Then what the fuck do you want?" He demanded and Julie tried unsuccessfully to rid herself. "Answer me!" He raised his voice and she look up at him with a tortured expression.
"I don't know." She shook her head and honesty dripped from her voice. "Just let me go. Soon someone will come in here and you'll be in trouble." Again her attempt to get free was frustrated by his strength and determination to keep her in place.
"No one will come in." He confidently stated and Julie didn't bother to ask why. Billy was so sure because Bodie and Baggy were outside guarding the door. All the girls gave up on the idea of retouching their make-up when they saw the two badass guys hanging out there. "When you will admit you fucking wanna be with me?"
"That's past, Darley. Now fucking let go of my arm or I'll start to scream."
Billy really laughed now. "No one will hear you. Past, Julie? Then tell me, where's the fucking doctor?"
"He fucked off" Her chin was tight; she was losing the argument and didn't like it a bit.
That wasn't a surprise for Billy and he didn't bother to fake it. Baggy had gotten all the information he needed from his sister. But a smug smirk still played on his lips, what irritated her further.
Billy grabbed Julie's other arm. Now he was exactly in front of her. He bent down and lowered his voice. "I'm sorry for what happened to you, all of it."
"Doesn't change a thing." She hissed as she tried to get rid of him once again.
Now Billy was pissed and done with the talking. He pushed her against the wall and pressed his body hard against hers. Before she could say a word he crashed his lips on hers. To his surprise she didn't resist. He had no idea how much she wanted him. Julie herself didn't know why she was so resistant. She was all fucked up already. Her life was a mess with or without Billy in it, might as well have fun while living it anyway.
Billy let go of her arms and placed his right hand on the back of her neck, grabbing a fistful of her hair, while his left squeezed her hip. Julie's both hands grabbed each muscular arm and her hold on them tightened as the kiss grew hungrier and hotter. That flame for long remained untouched but now it was back with full force. Every touch seemed to light all her body's cells. She could already feel Billy's manhood against her, but he kept pulling her closer.
Then he turned her back to him and stared kissing down her neck while his hands traveled on her torso. Julie jerked her head back as her hands caressed his bald head, neck and shoulders. Billy lifted her skirt to give enough room for the moment. His right hand grabbed her thigh and made its way up inside the leather fabric. Julie moaned as he caressed her inside with one hand and her breast, which was already out of the blood red blouse, with the other. He was making up for all the time apart- that had to be it. Julie was so lost that she rested her head back on his shoulder.
He stopped before she was about to come. Frustrating her to no end and making her to crave for more.
She turned to face him, took his face in her hands and naughtily kissed him. Billy was also taken aback by her fierceness but didn't waste time thinking about it. Julie started unbuttoning his black shirt and cursed when the third button got stuck. Billy was about to go help her but she managed to unfasten it and the others in record time. She sucked his neck and then went down on his chest. Billy grunted while messing her hair. She started going down but he pulled her up. This was his night.
Billy took her blouse off and tossed it on the shinny white floor. Julie gave a little jump and wrapped her long legs around his torso. Billy pressed her against the wall again and dedicated his attention to her boobs. Julie's eyes were almost rolling inside her skull in pleasure, her nails digging into his shoulder's skin. He was driving her insane.
He finally put her down but they didn't stand still. Billy started walking towards the sinks, his mouth never left hers. He slid down her skirt's zipper and got it out of her. Then he picked her up and sat her on the thick glass. Julie instinctively opened her legs so he could fit between them. As they kissed she undid his belt and zipper. They had done sex before and she thought he had gotten pretty hard, but nothing could be compared to how he was now. The approach of Julie's hands made him moan and he couldn't resist in letting her play a little bit.
Billy was sweating when he bent down to his pants to take the condom. Julie grabbed it from his hand and ignored his orders for her not to do it. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold himself the way things were going. But he did. Julie surely knew a handful of tricks but he stood his ground to only come with her. They were in a state of pure bliss.
He finally reached for her white lace panties and rolled them down. She only had the black heels on now and that was turning him on. There was nothing in his way and he couldn't wait another second. He wasn't gentle, not even in the beginning, and Julie loved it. She was biting her lip so hard that her teeth broke the soft skin. Her nails dug into his contracting back muscles and he moaned loudly in response.
"Jules…"
Her toes were curled in pleasure inside the pumps behind his lower back. He went on and on. None seemed to have had enough. Julie couldn't hold herself when he pinned her wrists down on the sink, leaving her with no control. Her legs encouraged him in as she whimpered his name.
"Billy!"
His final assault made them both yell. It still didn't seem to be enough but they were totally destroyed and couldn't keep this up right now. Billy grabbed her harshly by her sides and gave her the strongest kiss he ever did. Their tongues danced until both had to break apart to take a deep breath. They supported each other's body while recovering.
"I heard you lied to the fucking cops to save our asses." Billy amused commented when he was finally able to breathe evenly once again.
"Oh yeah, leave it to Joe to shut the hell up." Julie answered annoyed but not meeting his eyes, she was too busy tracing his tattoos with her fingertips. Only now, that she wished for a bed so she could rest, she realized they were in a night club full of people. That was so desperate and a freaking turn on for both of
them.
"He only opened his fucking mouth when you were in the hospital. I didn't even know you were fucking back." That sentence brought up new emotions to Billy's face. He took her face in his right hand to make her look into his eyes. "You know now this is an all or nothing deal." He wasn't messing anymore. His glare was serious and burning her inside. She knew what he wanted to hear.
"Fine, Darley. You win… I'm all yours." Julie declared and a proud smirk played on Billy's lips. "But I still hate you." Julie added with a small smile, trying to make him step down from the pedestal she just had put him on.
Billy raised one brown and bent to start playing with her earlobe with his tongue. His voice was huskier and deeper than usual when he whispered in her ear. "That's too fucking bad… 'cause I love you."
That only sent a new chill down on Julie's spine and they had sex like if they had seen each other for the first time in ten years.
Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on
Needs to hit the big screen, and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her, she'd be gone before you holler, come on
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hittin' on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny, yeah but honey, when you are alone
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all while sucking on your thumb
It's so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
Crafty little lip tricks
Tattoo's on her left hip
She's bending as you're spending there's no end to it so baby come on
Dressed up like a princess
Bettin' that her skin smells
Better than the scent of every flower in the desert come on
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hittin' on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny, yeah but honey, when you are alone
She loves the night scene bar queen
Who's living for the fun taking over every dance floor like shes the only one
In the spotlight all night kissing everyone
And trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb
(So much cooler)
When you never pull it out
(So much cuter)
With something in your mouth
Nickelback – Something In Your Mouth
Eventually they made it out of the restroom and enjoyed the rest of the night with their friends. Billy was totally disgusted at the music blazing from the speakers, but he changed his mind when Julie showed him what she could do with their bodies while following the beat. Soon after, they had a round three- this time they were able to hold until they got to her loft.
Sometimes the crew really wondered how long it would take for Billy to just really blow her brains out. He kept complaining about Julie being a stuck up, stubborn bitch. It all got worse when he wanted her to move in with him and she thought it was way too soon. But the truth was that he loved to pick a fight with her, the war was worth the price. Make up sex was the best with her. He was never bored. She drove him crazy and he did the same back to her.
Julie never walked alone; there was always a member of the gang following her. She mostly didn't even notice them, unless it was Joe. Billy wasn't stupid. Being Billy Darley's girl was a two way road: there were those who would never dare to mess with you and those who would just to take a hit on him. But she wasn't leaving him.
Billy kept her away from his shitty business, but Julie was always there to rub his back, or kick his ass, when needed.
They had absolutely no idea to where they were headed. This was just the beginning of their rioted life together.
Sometimes tears say all there is to say
Sometime your first scars wont ever fade, away
Tried to break my heart
Well it's broke
Tried to hang me high
Well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me
Well I'm soaked
Soaked to the skin
It's the end where I begin
It's the end where I begin
Sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
Sometimes we've no choice but to walk away, away
Tried to break my heart
Well it's broke
Tried to hang me high
Well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me
Well I'm soaked
Soaked to the skin
It's the end where I begin
It's the end where I begin
Now I'm alive
and my ghosts are gone
I've shed all the pain
I've been holding on
The cure for a heart
Is to move along, is to move along
So move along
What don't kill a heart
Only makes it strong
It's the end
End where I begin
It's the end
End where I begin
The Script – The End Is Where I Begin
Chapter End Notes:
Yes, it's done. BUT there is room for a sequel. I can't garantee there will be one. I never know when I'll get caught up in a Billy Darley mood! hahaha
Just so you know: music is very important for me when I'm writing, as you have already guessed. So I just wanted to share with you to pieces of information reguarding the songs:
Julie by Fountains o Ways- that's the song who inspired me to get the main's character name.
Riot by Three Days Grace- the song from which I got the name for this fanfic. It translate perfectly Julie and Billy's life.
Anyway, please let me know what you think of it all!
Now I plan on ending my other 4 Brothers ff: The Great Escape. Keep your eyes open!
See ya!
