Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 78
Billy finally stopped and sat me back on my feet kissing my forehead after he refused to kiss me on my lips and make a real connection between us. He didn’t bother to stay with me as he soaped off quickly and left me there to finish up my shower and I prayed he wouldn’t do anything stupid to himself or to me when I came out. I was done with the shower in mins and as I was finding my way out of his shower I felt my head pounding like it was ready to burst. I only got a little way before I fell to my knees in pain crying out. “MIA>>><<<<MIA……” the sound was that of my name again and this time it wouldn’t stop and I knew it was my barrier that was cracking because of the sex and my vulnerability when it came to the after math of sex. Billy came running in just as I was crawling out and he was tied in a robe and had one for me in one hand and in another he had his gun in the other free hand which didn’t faze me one bit. “MIA, what’s wrong…. Did I hurt you… son of a bitch what is happening….” he yelled out, but all I heard was him in the distance while the volume of my name was breaking through and shattering me so much I collapsed on the floor and everything went dark. The barrier was broken but I was still holding up the shield as my family members including my mother was now there standing in-front of me. “I’m not telling you where I am and you can’t make me, but good choice on that volume breaking my barrier… so you must have figured out who it was or it was a trap and you knew it would eventually break me” I shouted at them.
Billy had picked me up and wrapped me in the robe that I knew since I was still very much there with him but at the moment was knocked cold out. “OH JESUS WHAT HAVE I DONE…. MIA….PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME” he cried out. I knew it I knew he was broken and just needed someone to help him break just like this had broken me. “I have to go back…. I am fine as you can see, but I am not about to let you all past this part of the dream stream… just trust me because if you can’t there is no reason to continue this journey now that you have mother back which is what you really wanted. I’m not fucking stupid you know and actually am doing a pretty damn good job figuring a lot out without your fucking help so just back the fuck up and leave me alone” I yelled at them all now which included my mother. “Mia….. just listen for a min and then we’ll let you go back.. we know you are ok, we feel it… but you keeping us at bay is not going to help you when you go on the next mission. What you need is our help and if you let us do that there won’t be any repercussions” Zeus informed me with his authoritative tone that reached all the way to my core. “As for the volume we have no idea what you are talking about, but whatever it is we are thanking our heavens and stars for it since it’s the only thing that broke you and that’s what we have been fighting against for the past few days” my mother was now putting in her to cents as she reached out for me.
My backed was turned away from them all including my mother who looked so pained when I rejected her touch as she came forward to touch me. “I am just like him and just as broken…. Maybe this is what I am meant to do right now to help me figure out who I am and what I’m supposed to become in life” I cried out before leaving my dream state and slowly back to reality where Billy was waiting. I opened one eye and found him looking down at me and touching my face. “Jesus… Mia what the hell was that?” he asked wanting answers and looking like that scared little 10-year-old boy again. I reached up slowly and touched his face, “Shhh it’s just a migraine I get them super bad to the point I pass out from the pressure. I’ll be fine now if could just help me up?” I asked as I was on his bed flat with him at the edge. Billy helped me up and my ribs where painful again after I had just started to feel better “FUCK….how long does it take for these damned things to heal?” I asked even though he didn’t look like he’d know. “Well it took mine months to health the first time and now when they get fractured, I just wrap up tight for a few weeks and use a lot of muscle cream. How about I make you some hot cocoa and get you a few migraine pills and maybe that might help you” his look now was that of a sad little boy just wanting to help the best he could.
Billy helped me up as I tried to do it myself, but he was showing me the side he hated to show anyone which again spoke volumes. “See you can be gentle and you are great at it… as for the hot coca only if it’s got brandy in it and no pills they don’t work for me.. call me a freak of nature if you will but…” “No wasn’t thinking that but I’m starting to think you and I…. you are broken I can see it now… and I hate guessing why so could you just tell me?” he asked in a tone that sounded like child just wanting simple answers to a question. He led us out of his room and down the hall to his kitchen and sat me on the chair before busying himself in the kitchen making not just any hot cocoa but cocoa that he shaved from an actual cocoa nut and then added whole milk. “How about a fire, I’m a little chilly and you have a great fireplace that doesn’t look like it’s used much” I so wanted a fire since it had been a while since I had been able to enjoy one. Billy did not answer as he added the last touch to the cocoa that was that of brandy and again not any brandy but cocoa flavored brandy which surprised me more than it should have. “Sure why not if you are that cold I could put on the heat or if you want I can do the fire in your room in that fireplace” he smiled bringing me a cup of hot cocoa.
The more he was gentle the more I found myself liking the gentleness he was showing but wondered if it would last and it reminded me of the times Maxwell was kind which was all the time at first and then gradually got violent. “A fire in my room would be nice but does that mean you are going to just leave me in there alone, because right now I don’t….” “I don’t know… I can’t promise you anything more than well this is something that I never expected to happen, and I feel like it is bringing us together in a way…. I am still not going to agree that I’m a gentleman, but I’ll leave it at that, so lets’ go” he stood next to me pointing down the hall. I took his cocoa cup when he handed it to me while he got the wood together. He placed the wood into the fireplace and reached for the long fire stick that would finish the job. I watched the match light up and a second later it was on the wood lighting it up like a campfire, it had warmed me just watching it. “Thank you, Billy now here take this and sit with me” I smiled up at him handing him his cup and sitting in the fancy winged back chair just a few feet from the fireplace. Billy finally sat after checking his watch which I wasn’t sure why until he sat down and touched my hand. “Happy Thanksgiving” and kissed it a second later.
