003 (Billy Hargrove x OC)

Chapter 10

-003/Trisha Henderson POV-

"So, I was thinking" said Billy on the phone. "You come down here, and when my shift is over. We can have a nice date"
"Sounds lovely" I said. "But my brother is coming back today"
"How about I pick you up then?" he asked. "That way you can spend the day with your brother"

"That sounds good" I said.
"Great, I'll pick you up at 8" he said.
"Eight" I smiled. "Okay"

"I miss you" he suddenly said. "The swimming pool is boring without you, Trish"
"I miss you too" I said, my cheeks reddening.
"I have another idea" he said. "How about you and I go to California before school starts again? I could teach you how to surf"

"I would have to ask my mom" I said. "But I think she'll be okay with it. She likes you"
"Thank God" he said and I chuckled. "I have to go now, see you later, babe"
"Bye, Billy" I said and he hung up.

Billy and I had grown a lot closer over the past 6 months. He often slept over, since he and his dad were still on rough waters. Sometimes he comes by with a red face, his father was hitting him. It was making me feel very angry. But at least he had a safe place to go to now. And I found myself sleeping very well in his arms. I felt very safe...

"You ready sweetie?" asked Mom, I finally managed to call her mom. And she was ecstatic about it.
"Yep!" I said, Billy had also been helping me with my English. It was getting a lot better, sometimes I still struggled. Even my sister got a lot better at it. But I hadn't seen her much, she was hanging out a lot with Mike. And I once accidentally read his mind, and I did not have to see them kissing all the time...

"Hey mom?" I asked in the car.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Billy asked if I wanted to go to California with him" I said. "For a few days. He wants to show me where he grew up and teach me how to surf"

"That sounds lovely, dear!" she said. "You really like this boy, don't you?"
"I do" I said and blushed. "He is really nice"
"He protects you" she said. "That's all that matters. You can go"
"Thanks, mom" I smiled.

"This is Gold Leader, returning to base. Do you copy? Over" said Dustin, over and over again.
'God, I just wished I could tell this idiot'
"I repeat, this is goddamn Gold Leader..." said Dustin.
"Dusty/Dustin!" both mom and I cut him off.

"What?" asked Dustin.
"Relax! For goodness sake" said mom.
"I'm in range" he said. "They should be answering"
"You've been away a whole month, honeybun" said mom. "Maybe they just... forgot"
"I'm sure they have a good reason not to answer, Dustin" I said, trying to reassure him.

When we got home I helped with unloading the car.
"Jeez, what did you bring from camp?" I asked.
"Be careful with that!" said Dustin and I carried it to his room.

I hugged him once more.
"I'm really happy that you're back" I said.
"At least you're glad" he said.

"How about I make some cake for you?" I asked and he smiled.
I walked into the living room and gave El a thumbs up.
She started to move the toys in Dustin's room, so he'd come out and they could surprise him.
I went into the kitchen, until I heard very loud screaming.
"What the hell is going on?!" I yelled and everyone stopped.

-Billy Hargrove POV-

I was on cloud nine. Things were going very well with Trisha.
She was really the one for me.
When I was mad, she managed to calm me down, even without her gift. I had been sleeping over more than at my own house. Because I only felt calm when I had her near me.

Even when I lost my cool with her, she stayed.
I began to count down the hours to go on my date with Trish.
I walked into the pool and passed the other lifeguard, Heather, she smiled at me but I ignored it.
I blew my whistle and everyone got quiet.

"Hey, lard-ass!" I yelled to the kid. "No running on my watch! I gotta warn you again, and you're banned for life. You wanna be banned for life, lard-ass?"
He quickly shook his head.
"Didn't think so" I said and blew the whistle again.

I passed the older ladies. "Afternoon, ladies" I said politely.
"Afternoon, Billy" they said in choir.
'Oh boy, what I wouldn't do to see Trish's face if she saw this'

"Nice new suit, Mrs. Wheeler" I said.
"Thank you" she said.
I got onto my seat and looked over the pool.
'Damn, this job is way more fun if Trish is here'

Everyone calmed down and Dustin was showing off his stuff to his friends.
I didn't understand enough science to follow everything.
I did the dishes after everyone ate some cake.

"Girlfriend?" I heard suddenly everyone ask.
"Who has a girlfriend?" I asked.
"Dustin" said Mike.

"What?!" I yelled and grabbed my brother's shoulders. "Damn it, Dusty! I'm your sister, why didn't you tell me? What is she like? What's her name? How old is she?"
"This is why I didn't tell you" he said. "You ask too much"
"I'm interested!" I said.

"Her name is Suzie" said Dustin, we were going outside to set up his radio thingy. "She's from Utah"
"Girls go to science camp?" asked Will.
"Suzie does. She's a genius" said Dustin.

"Is she cute?" I asked.
"Think Phoebe Cates, only hotter" said Dustin.
"What's going on?" asked Max.
"Going to talk to Dustin's girlfriend" said Will.
"Girlfriend?" said Max and Lucas in choir and they followed us.

We were walking up a hill, a large hill...
"Aren't we high enough?" asked Lucas.
"Cerebro works best at a hundred meters" said Dustin.

"You know I'm pretty sure people in Utah have telephones" said Max.
"Yeah, but Suzie's Mormon" said Dustin.
"Oh shit. She doesn't have electricity?" asked Lucas.

"Oh that's the Amish" said Max.
"What are Mormons?" I asked.
"Super religious white people" Dustin explained. "They have electricity and cars and stuff, but since I'm not Mormon her parents would never approve. It's all a bit... Shakespearean"

"Shakespearean?" asked Max.
"Yeah, like Romeo and Juliet" said Dustin.
"Didn't they both die at the end?" I asked.

"Hey guys!" shouted Mike, he and El were a bit behind. "This is fun and all, but, uh..."
"I have to go home" said El.
"We're almost there" said Dustin.

"Sorry, man" said Mike. "Curfew"
"Good luck" said El before she and Mike left.
"Curfew at 4:00?" asked Dustin in disbelief.

"They're lying" said Lucas.
"It's been like this all summer" said Will.
"It's romantic" said Max.

"It's gross" said Will.
"It's kind of annoying" I said.
"It's bullshit" said Dustin. "I just got home. Well, their loss, right? Onwards and upwards! Suzie awaits!"

I sensed Will getting scared.
"Will?" I asked and looked at him. "You okay?"
"Yeah" he said. "It's nothing"

After a long walk, we finally made it...
"We made it" said Dustin.
"Yeah, only took five hours" said Max.

"Why couldn't we just play D&D?" asked Will.
"I'm so thirsty" said Lucas.
I walked to my brother and touched his shoulder.

"I hate to be the one, but I do have a date with Billy at eight" I said.
"I know" he said. "I remember. Thank you for not lying about it"
"Hey" I said and hugged him. "I'll help you set up. And then if you get it working, I can talk to your wonderful girlfriend another time, right?"

"Sure" he said. "Thanks, T"
"No problem" I smiled.

When it was getting darker, we were finally almost ready.
"Trisha, you should go" said Dustin. "Otherwise you'll be late"
"If you're sure" I said.

"Yeah, it's fine" he said. "You've been with me all day"
"Love you little brother" I said and ruffled his hair.
"Hey!" he shouted as I ran away.
I ran home as quickly as I could, so I could take a shower before Billy got here.

-Billy Hargrove POV-

I got ready quickly and got in the car.
'Today is gonna be the day' I thought. 'I'll tell her I love her'
"Hey Trish" I practiced. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you... it's nothing bad, I promise. I just... I love you"

But suddenly, something flew against my window and I slipped...
I hit my head...
"Oh no" I said. "No, piece of shit. Not today! Shit! Damn it!"

I was bleeding, I got out of the car.
But the car wasn't working.
"Piece of shit!" I shouted and kicked it.
I looked what had flown against my window, it left something slimy...

"What the hell?" I whispered.
I heard some noise, but didn't see anything...
"Who's there?" I yelled. "Hey! I said, who's there?"

Something grabbed my ankle and dragged me.
"Trisha!" I screamed, begging for her to hear me...

-003/Trisha Henderson POV-

He was late... Billy was never late...
I dozed off in the couch, but woke up in cold sweat...
"Trisha!" I heard Billy scream.
"Billy..." I breathed out.
Something was wrong, something was very wrong...
