CHAPTER 2

BILLY'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes as I hear my phone vibrating from the stand. I grabbed my phone and opened it up to see that there was a missed call from dad. I let out a sigh as I turned over onto my side and saw the girl that we had taken last night sleeping beside me on the bed. It was different than waking up every other time with a girl. Usually, I wanted the girl to leave before I went to sleep or kick them out first thing in the morning, but this one was different.

My phone started to vibrate from the stand again and I grabbed it.

"What?" I said in a angry tone as I held the phone to my ear.

"Where you at, Nazi?" Dad asked from the other side of the phone.

"Give me ten," I said and then hung up on him.

I let out a grunt before I stood up from the bed, pulled a long sleeved black shirt on, slipped my boots back on, and headed out of the room. As I approached the living room, I saw Joe sitting there laughing at something pointless on TV.

"Have fun last night?" Joe asked as he looked up at me.

"You could say somethin' like that," I answered as I grabbed my jacket from the chair. "Make sure she don't leave," I said as I put my jacket on.

"What about her fuckin' stuff?" He asked as I grabbed the book bag sitting on the counter.

"We'll get it later," I answered as I walked over towards the door. "Don't let her leave!" I shouted as I opened the door and left the apartment.

MIA'S POV

I slowly opened my eyes and winced as I felt pain on my arms and neck area. I looked over to see that the spot on the bed next to me was now empty. As I slowly sat up on the bed, I looked around to see that I was by myself in the room. It wasn't a dream. I was taken the night before and I wasn't sure when I was going to get out this mess.

The door slowly opened and I looked over to see Joe peeking his head into the room.

"Just wanted to see if you needed anythin'," he said as he looked at me.

"I...," I started to say and cleared my throat. "Can...Can I use the bathroom real quick?" I quietly said as I looked at him and he opened the door a little more.

I slowly stood up from the bed and made my way out of the room as I kept my head down. The bathroom was right next to Billy's room and I stepped inside as I looked over to see Joe standing there.

"No funny business," he said as he grabbed the door knob and shut the door.

I stood in front of the dirty mirror in the bathroom and slowly tilted my head up to look at my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were red and puffy from crying the night before, my lips were pale, and there were some light bruises on the sides of my neck from Billy. My bottom lip started to quiver and I let out a sob as I looked down at the sink and squeezed my eyes shut.

"Hurry up," I heard Joe say from the other side of the door and I reached up to wipe the tears away that came out of my eyes.

I went about doing my business before I slowly opened the door to see Joe standing there with a cigarette in his mouth. I could feel his eyes on me as I walked back into Billy's room and turned around to see him closing the door again. I sat back down on the edge of the bed and let out sobs as I held my hands to my face. I had to get out of there.

BILLY'S POV

I stormed back into the apartment and slammed the door shut behind me.

"What up?" Joe said as he lit up a cigarette.

"Not much. She awake?" I asked as I took my jacket over and threw it on the chair.

"Yeah. Let her use the bathroom earlier. Been crying ever since," he said before he took a long drag. "What are ya goin' to do wit her?"

"Not sure yet, Joey. May be fun for me," I answered as I grabbed a shot glass and poured myself some Whiskey.

"Got that right," he said as he finished up his cigarette and I took the shot of Whiskey.

MIA'S POV

Later that day, I was still sitting on the bed while I picked at a loose string that was on the comforter. I heard laughter throughout the day, but no one really bothered me.

The door opened and I looked over to see Joe coming into the room with a slice of pizza on a paper plate. He set the plate down on the bed with a bottle of water.

"Eat," he said as he motioned to the food and I looked over at it. "You could say thank you."

"Thank you," I quietly said as I glanced at him.

"Here's ya stuff," I heard another voice say and I looked over as a bag was thrown into the room with some of my things from the house.

"You went to my house?" I asked as I looked at them.

"You Billy's girl now. You don't have a house no more," the guy said and I felt more tears coming to my eyes as I looked back down at the bag that was on the floor.

They both left the room as they laughed and closed the door behind them. I sniffled as I reached up to wipe some tears away. I slowly lowered myself down to the floor and opened up the bag. Not all of my stuff was in the bag, but the majority of my clothes were in there along with some feminine products. At least I now had clean clothes to put on.

I climbed back up onto the bed and grabbed the bottle of water that Joe had brought into the room. I twisted the cap off and took a few sips before I put the cap back on and set the bottle down. I grabbed the slice of pizza from the plate and noticed that it was cold. I took a small bite and chewed it up. It was stale, but it would have to do for the time being.

It started to get dark outside again and I hadn't see anyone since Joe came in to give the food. The door opened again and I looked over to see Billy standing there in the doorway.

"Go shower," was all he said as he continued to look at me. "Now!" He shouted and I slowly stood up from the bed as I made my way over towards him.

I left the room and stepped into the bathroom as I felt his eyes on me. There was a towel sitting on the counter for me already and I slowly turned to look at him.

"Be quick," he said as he grabbed the door knob and slammed the door shut.

I looked around the bathroom as I slowly started to remove the clothes I had on. I placed them into a pile on the floor as I reached over to turn the shower on. It wasn't the nicest shower and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile. The water started to warm up and I stepped into the shower as I closed the curtain. I tilted my head back and let the hot water cascade down over my hair and body. I closed my eyes and ran my hands over my hair. I reached over and grabbed the cheap bottle of shampoo that was sitting there. I poured some into my hand and started to massage it through my hair. I tilted my head back and washed the suds out of my hair as I closed my eyes. Once the soap was out, I grabbed the bar of soap and started to wash my body with it. Once I was all clean, I tilted my head back again as I closed my eyes and let the hot water continue to cascade down over my body.

"Times up!" I heard Billy's voice shout and I jumped as he broke me out of my thoughts.

The door slammed shut again and I turned the water off. I slowly pulled the curtain back and noticed that he wasn't in the bathroom with me. As I stepped out of the shower, I grabbed the towel that was sitting on the counter and started to dry myself off. I dried my hair really good before I went and dried my body off. Once I was dry, I tightly wrapped the towel around my body and opened the bathroom door. Billy was standing there waiting for me as he smoked. He moved out of the way and I went back into the bedroom. I turned around to see him closing the door, leaving me all alone in the room.

"You got a hot one on your hand's there, Billy!" I heard one of the guys shout and the other guys clapped and agreed with him.

I reached into the bag and pulled out some fresh clothing for me to put on. After I got dressed, I brushed my hair out and got freshened up before I sat back down on the bed. At least he let me get a shower, but how much longer was this going to last?
