Troubled Youth

Exhausted

BILLY'S POV:
Its been 2 weeks after our conversation again, except this time I've been home and selling drugs and getting beat up because boss wants me to rip them off. So I'm lying in bed bruised up, Charlie's the only one who knows I made it pretty clear for him not to tell the guys which he agreed to, I'm scrolling through my pictures on my phone. I miss the happy me I miss my mom, I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in" I said in a horse voice
My aunt enters bringing me a sandwich and orange juice
"Hunny you know you can't just keep missing school" she said rubbing my hair out of my face
"I know it's not just because I'm bruised up, I'm also depressed" I say locking my phone
"What's got you down sweetie" she asked
"Just missing mom" I mumble she grabbed my hand
"She's still with you dear weather you believe or not" she said
"Yeah I know" I say
"Your medication is refilled for your depression" she said
"It doesn't help" I say rolling my eyes
"I know and get dressed and do something anything today" she said I nodded crawling out of bed it's currently Sunday I take a shower, once I'm done I change into shorts and a sports bra throwing a light weight zip up silk hoodie on, I put tennis shoes on as I throw my hair into a ponytail. I walk downstairs and walk out the house, just walking I honestly had no clue where I was going I was just walking, I seen a park and decided I was going to chill there and waste a little bit of time, I set there I felt something tugging on my jacket. I look down at a little girl smiling up at me
"Yor Willy pretty" She says in a cute little voice I smiled at her
"Thank you and your just adorable" I say ruffling her hair
"Will u com play wit me peez" she asks giving puppy eyes so I run around a little bit after 10 minutes I realized something
"Where is your parents?" I ask her she pointed at the bench a nice women in her mid 20's was watching us I waved so did she. The little girl grabbed two of my fingers dragging to her mother as I followed,
"Mommy dis is my fran" she said
"Hi I'm Billy" I say holding my hand out
"Nice to meet you I'm Debbie and her names mirabella but I call her Bella for short" Debbie said I nodded setting down beside her mom
"You know something I just moved to town for a great job, and was looking for a babysitter when I work.." she said I felt like I knew where this was going
"If your willing to I'll pay you to babysit Bella" she asked
"Yeah it won't be a problem" I say
"I want to ask you something first" she said I looked at her waiting for her to explain
"You don't get abused at home do you?" She asked I felt weird when she asked that
"No ma'am actually me and some kids at school don't get along and I choose not to get bullied" I play it off and she nods
We exchanged numbers and addresses I waved goodbye to Mirabella. I started walking home and I seen Coy and his friends a couple houses down from mine, I hurry up and look away pretending I didn't see them
"Billy!!" Cameron yelled getting my attention all the guys walk over to me great
"Woah damn what happened to you?" Ian asked
"Not your business" I say harshly
"Why haven't you been at school?" Danny asked
"I uh I'm sick yeah I'm sick" I say fake coughing I look up at Coy who was texting someone
"Well I hope your better at lying then trump" Cameron said I rolled my eyes
"If I wanted you guys to know I'd tell you, but for now I'm a target and that's all you all need to know" I say crossing my arms
"Can we come over and watch movies until the party" Ian asks
"Oh crud I forgot about that damn party" I say scratching my head and nodding
"But yeah come-on In" I say walking into my house as they followed my aunt was getting ready for work
