Okay, so I totally revamped this chapter! I'm planning on editing more chapters soon too. Now on with the story! c:

When Daniel finally picked her up, Billie told him about everything that had happened at the boardwalk on the ride home.

"Wait," he paused "So you punched David in the nose?"

Billie's face reddened in embarrassment, "well yeah, I mean he was being a jerk he totally deserved it!" she said defensively.

Daniel laughed, "you're a trouble maker, ya know that?"

Billie looked over at her brother, "You're not gonna tell mom, right?" she asked sheepishly.

Daniel grinned and glanced over at his sister, the pouty look on her face told him that she was silently pleading with him to not tell their mother. As much as they loved their mom, they knew she would not be happy if she knew Billie had punched someone in the face.

Daniel laughed and sighed dramatically, "Okay, okay I won't tell mom."

Billie smiled and silently thanked her brother.

The rest of the ride home they spent in silence, her limbs ached and her eyes shut on their own accord as she leaned back in the passengers seat. She couldn't wait to get home and snuggle into her mountain of blankets and sleep. The events of the day were really starting to take a toll on her.

As they pulled into the driveway of their house Billie noticed that her mom's car wasn't in the driveway, which meant she was probably working late at the hospital again, which wasn't unusual at all. Ever since they moved here they rarely ever saw their mom anymore. She worked really late shifts at the hospital as a nurse trying to pay the bills. Billie didn't like not being able to see her mom often, but that was just the way things were.

Billie hopped out of her brother's truck and opened the front door, stepping into the warmth. She shrugged off her coat, hanging it up as she ascended the stairs to her bedroom. Billie quickly got ready for bed and plopped down on her bed, pulling her mountain of blankets on top of her before drifting off to sleep.

Cold. It was so cold. Why was it so cold? Billie shivered and pushed herself up into a sitting position. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and glanced at the clock next to her bed. The red numbers read 2:45am. She groggily looked around her bedroom and frowned deeply when she saw that her bedroom window was wide open.

She slid out of bed and cautiously walked to the window, her heart was beating so frantically she could hear it in her ears. She poked her head out of the window and looked down at the street below her, but didn't see anyone. Frowning, she closed the window and locked it. Billie suddenly felt really silly for thinking that someone could have came in her room through her window, she lived in a two story house on the second floor so there's was no possible way for someone to open the window from the outside.

"Unless they could fly or something," she mused aloud.

If only she knew.

Okay so what do you guys think?! I hope this chapter is better! I'm going to make later chapters longer by the way.
