Author's Note: OMG I'm such a dope. This is the THIRD time I've had to edit this chapter! I'm not sure why but some of my dialouge was cut out so I'm so sorry if this chapter confused anyone! Shoutout to Serina1944 for correcting me. :3

It was a cool night and the ocean breeze made it cooler, Billie sat at the end of the boardwalk watching the tide flow in then out. It was a place she went often to clear her head. The moonlight illuminated the water, making it a beautiful sight to see. As she took in the sights around her she forgot about all of her problems. She knew it was risky and stupid to go back to the boardwalk after she had punched David in the nose, but she refused to let him scare her away. She would be lying if she said David and his gang didn't frighten her, they were terrifying, but they didn't have to know that.

Billie hadn't gotten much sleep last night after she discovered her bedroom window had been open. All day she had been racking her mind for a plausible explanation as to why her window had been wide open, but she just couldn't seem to alleviate this nagging feeling in the back of her mind. She considered the possibility that someone may have came into her house last night but she just couldn't allow herself to believe it.

She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard something behind her, she turned around and felt her heart sink to the pit of her stomach. David was slowly approaching her, oddly enough Marko, Paul, and Dwayne weren't with him.

She quickly jumped up and got into a defensive stance, "Come any closer and I'll kick your ass!" she shouted.

David stopped where he was a few feet away and put his hands up in surrender, "I come in peace," he smirked playfully.

Billie furrowed her brow, wasn't he still pissed at her for punching him in the nose? She dropped her defensive stance and carefully approached him, "what do you want then?" She said somewhat irritably.

David just sat down, looking up at her expectantly when she didn't follow suit. Billie was growing more confused by the second, she punched him in the nose, and now he's trying to play nice? She stiffly sat down next to him, never letting her guard down.

"So, where are your friends?" She was trying to initiate friendly conversation.

David just stared out at the ocean, "eating," he said nonchalantly.

She just nodded her head, "oh." An awkward silence dragged on for a bit. "I'm sorry about your friend."

Billie's head snapped up so fast to look at him she almost broke her neck, he was still staring out at the ocean, not sparing her a glance. He seemed so indifferent but he sounded sincere.

"me too," she said simply, "I'm sorry about your nose," she tried not to laugh.

For the first time since she'd known David a genuine smile spread across his face..it was nice? Yeah, it was nice.

They sat in silence for a few moments, but this time it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a comfortable silence.

Realizing how late it probably was, Billie decided it was time to head home, "well, I should probably get going."

David gave her a curt nod of acknowledgement and watched her as she stood and started walking off.

As she walked away she couldn't help but think that maybe David wasn't such a bad guy after all.
