"You said it yourself Billy. No man
is going to understand me like you do.
Well if they truly care shouldn't I dare
To explain a thing or two?"
Billy looked frustrated as hell
Whatever words came to his lips
He swallowed, she could tell.
He just waved her on, praying whatever
She tells Jacob causes him to be gone.
"Billy is my sworn protector
So you see, even if he and I are not together
He will always be here for me.
We're connected in a way
He can feel my pain.
I know that sounds insane
But for Jujube it is the same.
There are certain people Jacob
You must accept will not be left
Ever, by me, not Billy, not Jujube
They will forever be in my life
No matter if I remain alone
Or become someone else's wife."

Billy bit his bottom lip,
that last sentence hurt quite a bit.
