I leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
He turned to when I stopped him, "Billie..."

"I love you." I said smiling at him. He smiled back at me.
"I love you too." He said and walked into his room.

End of Recap

I woke up to hear the phone ringing. I heard Billie run and answer the phone.

"Hello?" I could hear Billie from the other room. I quickly and quietly picked up the phone. I knew I shouldn't be in his business, but I couldn't help myself.

"Hi is Danielle there?"

"Who is this?"

"This is John..her husband."

"You have no business talking to her OR calling here." With that Billie slamed down the phone. I quietly put down the phone and ran back over to the couch and pretended to be asleep. He slowly walked towards me and sat down beside me. Billie carfully brushed the hair out of my eyes, like how I had for my father when he died. I squeezed my eyes tight trying not to cry from the memory of my father. I could tell he could see my eyes closed tight so he kissed me on the forehead. I sat up and hugged him, sniffling, trying not to cry.

"I know how you feel."

"I know you do Billie, but I miss him so much."

"I miss my dad too." Pulling away from him I looked into his diamond green eyes.

"Thanks Billie." I half smiled at him.

"No problem. And thank you." I laughed, "No problem."

"Come on, let's get some breakfast. My treat."

"Okay let me get some clothes on fir-," I stopped for a second and thought, "I don't have my clothes here..."

Randomly, Billie picked me up and carried me over his shoulder.

"Haha, Billie put me down!" I laughed. I looked at his face and I could see him grin evily and his eyebrows went up and down pretty fast. I laughed at him and kept slapping his butt.

"Nice as Billie!"

"Well thanks!" He slapped my butt and snickered.

"HEY! That's my property!"

"Ohh, I'm sure it is." He winked at me.

He finally put me down and told me to put on my jacket and my shoes. Looking at him puzzled I slowly put on my shoes. He grabbed my jacket from the closet and draped it over me.

*Billie's POV*

As I drove in the car with Danielle beside me, I took glances at her. She is such a beautiful person, but I feel so bad for her, she's going through alot of shit.

"How you feelin?"

She looked at me with her beautiful sky blue eyes.

"Great. You?" She said with a bit of a laugh.

"I'm pretty good." She smiled and stared at me, laughing a bit.
We pulled into her driveway and her smile dissapeared. She grabbed my hand and squeezed it when I set it down.

"It's gonna be okay Dani. I'll be there with you the whole time" She nodded, "From what it sounded like I think he's at his..girlfriends house."
I looked at her and she turned to face me. She gave me a fake half smile and she swallowed hard. I felt bad for ever bringing her here again, but it was the only way she could get her stuff.

"You wanna go in now or wait in the car for a bit untill your ready." She shrugged, "It's your choice."

"I-I'll go in now." I nodded and got out of the car. I walked around to the other side and opened the door for her. She got out of the car and stood there shaking.
She took a deep breath and headed towards the house. Standing by the car, I watched her slowly walk towards the house. I grinned evily and snuck up behind her. I picked her up and put her over my shoulder. I smiled, she finally laughed.

"What is up with you picking me up!?"
He shrugged, "I dunno, mabey I like that fact that your butt's in my face?"
She laughed. Then I set her down at the front door.

"Why is it that you never swear or say anything vulgur around me. But when your around Mike and Tre' you do?" I looked down at my shoes then looked her in the eyes.

"Well, I like to be respectfull around you." She smiled at me, "Well, you can cut it out now. I don't mind." I nodded at her like a little puppy dog and she laughed.

*Danielle's POV*

I took out my keys and unlocked the door. We ran upstairs into my bedroom and started packing away.

3 hours later

We lied down on my bed exhausted. We just finished packing all my stuff and loading it into the car. Turning on our sides we looked at each other in the eye. I could see him slowly moving in. I could feel his lips pressed against mine, it seemed like he expected me to pull away, but I just kept it like that. We stood up from the bed and he was about to pull me in but I heard the door open and voices. I gasped and panicked.

"Billie! Quick get into the closet!" I whispered. He did as he was told.

I sat down on the bed to see Billie struggling to close the door. I ran over to him and shut the door in his face.

"Don't talk or make any sounds!" I whispered to him.
John walked up the stairs and burst into the room, I tried to make myself look busy, by cleaning up the room a bit. I felt mad at John so I didn't look him in the eye.

"What are you doing here?"

"Packing." I snapped at him.

"Are you afraid to look me in the eye?" He came up to me and grabbed my wrists. He held me close to him, having a tight grip on my wrists.

"Let go of me!"

"We can fix what went wrong baby." He snarled, as he spat in my face.
All of a sudden I heard movement in the closet.

'Oh god Billie, shut up before he finds out your here' I thought. John's head turned and he stared down the closet.

"Who's in there?" He demanded, tightning his grip on my wrists.

"Hunny, whats going on up there?" I heard a soft voice come from downstairs.

"Just..Just stay down there Andria babe. Nothings wrong." He replied yelling back at her.

John returned his gaze at me, "Let me ask this again, who is in the closet?" He said breathing on my face.

"I don't know what your talking about." I said angrily. John dug nails into my arms. I squeezed my eyes shut and yellped.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Am I hurting you?" He said kneeing me in the stomache. John let go of my wrist and tossed me onto the bed.

"What do you want John.." I snarled at him. I glowered at him, I hated his very guts at this moment.

"I want you to be my little slut again." He grabbed my hair and threw me on the ground so that I landed beside the closet.

"Don't come out Billie." I whispered, I could here him moving around. It seemed like he was trying to get out to help me.

"I can't let him do this to you!" He whispered harshly at me.
John walked over to me and pulled me up. He swung back his arm and punched me in the face.
I fell on the floor and groaned. "I hate you" I muttered.

"What was that? Would you like to share something?"
I didn't answer him. I cursed him under my breath.

"Huh?" He said angrily. He kicked me by my ribs and made me stand up again.
He stood there looking at me with a grin on his face. Taking a chance I slapped him in the face. That sure whiped the smile off him. John punched me in the stomache and pushed me over. I could hear Billie yelp from the closet.

By now my lip was bleeding and my eye's, my ribs and my stomache were bruising.

"Tell me you love me Dani."

"No." I sneered at him. My hair was covering my face and I looked evil.

"Stand up." I sat there on the ground looking at him.

"I said stand up!!" He grabbed my hair and pulled me up. I smacked away his hand and then he pulled out a pocket knife. My eyes widened, "You don't ever, touch me again. You understand that?" He said pushing the knife closer to my neck. I scowled at him and I tried as hard as I could to hit him. He pressed the knife to my neck. I was shaking now, I could feel blood trickling down my neck.
I heard Billie yelp so loud, he sounded like he was crying. Billie kicked open the closet door and punched John in the face without warning. He ran over to me and helped me up.

"I told you to stay in the closet Billie!"

"Yeah well, I couldn't bare to watch the one woman I love get hurt like this."
I felt touched by this, but then thats when I could start to feel the burning on my neck. Billie wripped some of his shirt and dabbed my neck.

"Billie..."

He looked up at me, "What's wrong?" He could see my eyes widen.
Billie turned around just in time to get socked in the face by John. I was boiling mad. I ran over to John and started beating him with my fists.

"How dare you hurt him!"
John pushed me off of his back and spun me around. He put his arm around my neck and the knife to it as Billie was about to attack.

"Don't you move one step closer or your lady is getting it."
John started backing away and out the door. Once he was out the door with me he kicked it closed.

"Andria. Go shopping, we need groceries!"

"Okay dear!" I heard the door close. John dragged me around the house while he gathered some rope. He sat me down on a wooden chair and he tied me to it.

"Let go of me you bast-" He wrapped a piece of cloth around my mouth so I couldn't talk, and if I did it was muffled. Just then, I heard Billie run down the stairs to the resque. My eyes filled up with tears, Billie was risking his life to save me.

"Let her go!" Billie screamed at John.
I looked at John then at Billie, I didn't want John to hurt him. John kicked him in the stomache and Billie fell over gasping for air. I silently screamed at John.

"Looks like missy wants to talk." John came over to me and let the piece of cloth around my mouth loose.

"Let Billie go." John just laughed at me.

"If you let Billie go, safely, then you keep me." I said coming close to tears.
Hearing this Billie jumped onto his feet, "Danielle, don't you dare say that!"
I was crying now, I loved Billie, but I couldn't stand to have him hurt.
I couldn't look at Billie anymore, I turned my glance to John, he was thinking.

"Alright." He said with a sigh.

"If you dare to call 911 then your 'lady' gets it, and when the police are here, we'll be far out of the country. So it's not worth it."
Billie was breathing unsteadily, close to tears.

"Why can't you just stick with your slut Andria." I snapped at him. John turned around and glared at me. He slapped me in the face and returned his attention to Billie.

"Get out of my sight, I don't ever want to see you again."

Me and Billie were crying now, I knew we would never see each other again.

"L-Let me have one last minute with her."

John sighed, "oh alright." He said with his british accent.

Billie ran over to me and grabbed my face softly. He removed the cloth from my mouth and kissed me.

"Don't worry, I'll find you and I'll free you. But for now, I have to figure out how."

His voice shaking.

"I'm scared Billie."

"I'm scared too Dani, but you have to try to stay strong." With that Billie kissed me again and left the house with his head hung low.

John placed the cloth back over my mouth.

"Looks like you'll be here for quite a while."

Just then I heard the door close, and someone walk inside. It was Andria.

"Hunny I'm home!" John's eye's widened. He returned to his threat and punched me hard in the face. Everything was turning blurry, I was feeling tired. I started to close my eyes, then I passed out. All's I remember before I went unconcious, is that he stuffed me in the closet, with little air. I need Billie to help me. He said he had a plan, I believed in him. I know it will work. I just hope he hurries up. Because I would like to see him one last time.
