Chapter 9: Advise and Dinner

We walked back inside the house and Billy went to the kitchen table.

"So what do you want to eat?" I asked

"It doesn't matter I'll eat anything you make." He laughed.

"All right then." I said laughing.

"So how come you don't want to go home?" Billy asked looking at me.

"I just had a bad dream and if I go home I'll fall asleep and I don't want to dream again." I sated looking in the fridge for stuff to put together.

"Oh what was the dream about if you don't mind me asking?" He said still looking at me.

I could tell Billy anything, he was usually the one that I went to advise for. I could tell him anything and I knew he wouldn't tell anyone.

"I was about Jake, I was yelling at a girl because she was playing with his feelings and leading him on. I could feel Jake getting upset at me because he loved her I knew he did because I could feel it coming off of him. Billy I don't want to lose my bestfriend I can't I don't know what I would do without Jake by my side, and I know that sounds selfish of me but it's true." I said starting to feel the tears in my eyes bottle up, I was trying so hard to keep them in.

"It's not selfish, you love him he is your bestfriend and you don't want him hurt. I understand that but you can't protect Jake from things that might happen, he is going to have to figure them out for himself in order for him to grow as a person. I know that will be hard to do and I wish I could protect Jake from stuff to but I can't and that's how life is we have no control over it.And don't ever think Jake would choose some girl over you, you are his bestfriend since you guys were little and if he does it will be the worst mistake of his life." Billy said wheeling himself up to me.

" I know Billy but it hurts me to even think about it." I said staring to cry.

"Come here Mads don't cry it's going to be ok I promise." He said.

I dropped to my knees on the floor and cried on Billy's lap. He just rubbed my back softly to calm me down. Billy was like a father to me and I honestly don't know what I would do without him.

After about 5 minutes of me crying I sat up and wiped my tears.

"I'm sorry Billy I didn't mean to start crying." I said standing up.

"Don't ever apologize for crying it's better to cry then hold it in and I'm always here for you, you know that and if Jake makes that stupid mistake I'm still here for you. you have to promise me if it does you won't stop coming to see me because your like a daughter to me and I would I couldn't lose you to." He said smiling at me.

"I promise I would never stop coming to see you Billy." I smiled and hugged him.

He went to the living room to watch the baseball game while I made dinner.

I found some hamburger meat and decided to make burgers. I started to fry the burgers and cut up all condiments. I cut lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and got out the ketchup. I knew Billy liked cheese on his burger and all al the stuff on it to. I finished putting the burgers together and plated it all.

I walked in the living room and handed Billy his plate.

"Thank you Mads." He smiled and started eating.

"No problem." I smiled.

The baseball game had ended and he put on the football game. Billy and I finished our food and continued watching the game.

He booed and celebrated for our team we wanted to win.

It was the fourth quarter with 30 seconds to go left and our team had the ball. We were at the 50 yrad line and there was no way we ere going to make it. Our team was behind one touchdown we just had to score and we would win. We sat there anxious for the hike. He hiked the ball to the QB (Quarter Back) and the QB struggled almost getting tackled looking for the an open man. He found one and threw the ball getting tackled to the ground seconds later. The ball was in the air and the WR (Wide receiver) was running. He caught the ball and ran to the touchdown. 40 yards, 30 yards, 20 yards, 10 yards, 5 yards..... TOUCHDOWN!!!!!! The quarter ended as the WR made the touch down we WON. Billy and I were celebrating our teams victory.

"That was intense wasn't it?" I said still in awe.

"Yes it sure was." Billy said laughing.

"Well I guess it's time for me to head home." I said giving Billy a hug.

"Thank you for this evening it made me feel better." He said smiling.

"No problem and I enjoyed myself a lot to." I said smiling back.

"Hey there's going to be another game next Friday if you wanna come over and watch him me." Billy said while walking me out.

"Of course, I'll be here, Oh and there is leftovers in the fridge tomorrow and I already cleaned the dishes." I said finally getting to the door.

"Thank you Mads again." He hugged me.

While we hugged Jake had opened the door. It was about 2 in the morning and Billy was usually asleep by this time. So when he walked in his eyes went wide.

"JACOB BLACK WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Billy yelled.

"I uhhh I was" Jake said stuttering.

"I don't need an answer but know your grounded for a whole month." Billy said looking a Jake.

Jake didn't argue. Then he turned to me.

"What are you doing here this late?" Jake asked.

"I made dinner for Billy because we canceled the bomb fire because he didn't want to tell the legends with bad intentions because he was upset with you for sneaking out when he told you not to, and then we watched the football game." I said wit blankness in my voice.

"Oh what's wrong?" He asked trying to figure it out by looking in my eyes.

"Nothing, but I have to go it's late." I said trying to walk out.

"It's late I don't want you going by yourself." He said grabbing my arm but not enough to hurt me.

"I'll be fine Jacob just let me go." I said still with blankness.

"Dad are you really going to let her go?" Jakes asked looking at Billy with concern.

"I think she'll be fine Jacob she's done it before." He said looking at me knowing why I didn't want to stay.

"Fine go then I don't care if you get hurt or anything." Jacob said letting me go and walking off pissed off.

"He'll be fine tomorrow." Billy said.

"Thanks again for tonight." I said walking out.

What Jake had said really hurt me I just didn't feel like seeing him after my dream I wanted to be alone with my thoughts I hope he isn't mad at me for a long time.

I walked out and got on my bike. I started it, it was raining hard. I drove off and made sure to drive slow and be careful because the roads were slippery. I still had tears in my eyes and I tried blinking them away but I couldn't. What Jacob said really hurt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. I finally made it home and parked my bike in the workshop. I locked the workshop and headed inside the house.

Then I slipped and hit my head on the step really hard I blacked out.
