A Different Kind of Love, chapter 21
Mike, Tre and the now two police stared at Billie, dumbfounded. Mike blinked.
"You...you were abused?" he asked, gawking at Billie in disbelief. Billie's expression still didn't change.
"Yes." he replied, still holding Zach tightly.
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Mike, moving closer to Billie.
"Or me?" asked Tre quietly. Billie shook his head.
"I don't know. The same reason Zach doesn't want to tell anyone." Billie said, still looking ahead vaguely at the bottles on Zach's table.
"Its fear...I was fucking terrified of him." Billie Joe concluded, swallowing. Mike and Tre looked at him as Billie Joe blushed a hot red. Mike looked away, trying to think of the signs he missed when they were young. There was none. Billie had managed to keep it absoloutely secret.
"Uh...okay sir...I'm going to have to take Zach to hospital now..." the police man moved in to hold Zach. Billie stood up and walked to the door.
"He isn't leaving my arms." he said shortly, and walked out to the ambulance.
Mike and Tre stared at the two policemen, who gawked back at them. Mike cleared his throat.
"Please...he isn't dangerous, he's all Zach's got, Zach adores him and he begged Billie not to put him down...Zach's been through hell, don't make him seperate from Billie Joe, both of them need each other to survive." Mike pleaded. The police was so confused, that he bought it without question.
"Fine...but you two are going to have to ride with me to the hospital." Mike and Tre nodded.
In the ambulance, Billie gently lay Zach down on the stretcher, still holding his hand. Zach didn't wake up. The nurse in the ambulance gently removed the coat and started to body search Zach. She frowned.
"There's a lot of damage...a lot...we're going to have to put him on painkillers or he might go into shock..." the nurse pulled out a needle from the drawer on her right. Billie Joe shuddered as she injected it into Zachs neck...he started to remember....
Brad had Billie Joe where he couldn't get out. It was morning, and Billie Joe's mum was at work for an eight hour shift. Billie Joe pushed as hard as he could against Brad.
"Let...go..." he breathed. Brad wasn't angry, Billie could see in his eyes he was sick...and he just wanted to be plain cruel to Billie. Billie squirmed as Brad reached into his pocket and pulled out a siringe.
"NO!" screamed Billie. Billie Joe had never thought about drugs before. He had smoked joints, it was what he was known for, but never anything in a little liquid needle. Billie was terrified.
"STAND STILL!" Brad yelled, and pinned Billie by his shoulders to his bed. Billie Joe watched the needle coming closer and burst into tears.
"Please Brad no please don't do it PLEASE!" he screamed, but Brad had already spiked his neck. Billie Joe gasped and felt sick immediately. A wave of panic flushed over him.
"What was that...what was IT?" he yelled, and Brad slapped him. Billie Joe felt his body getting heavier and his eyelids becoming a burden to keep open. He coudn't go to sleep. Billie tried to stay awake.
"It was the love drug...cause I loooove you, you son of a bitch...and I can state that for a fact..." Brad sniggered. Billie felt the whole room growing longer and shorter, then spinning in different directions. He tried to keep his eyes on Brad but it was impossible. He felt Brad's lips pushing against his own and moved his head away, but felt it too heavy to lift.
"No.." Billie whispered, before giving in and collasping into unconsciousness. It was dark when Billie woke up and realised he was in only his boxer shorts. Billie immediately felt a wave of sickness and ran into the bathroom, throwing up anything he had in his system. He looked into the mirror and saw hickies down his bare chest. Billie shook his head in disbelief. He wasn't a virgin anymore. He knew it. Billie didn't even want to hit anything. He sat down on the bathroom floor and cried, knowing everything was real. Knowing how stupid he was. He saw Brad at the door, smiling and stretching his arms. He was also in his underwear. Billie didn't even feel like scowling at him. He was too sickened. He glanced up at Brad then looked back down to the bathroom tilings. Brad walked over to Billie, kneeling down to his height and snapping his boxers. Billie winced.
"You truly are a little dick man." Brad laughed, before walking out of the bathroom and shutting the door. Billie sobbed quietly and tried to cover any part of his body he could.
Zach stirred and saw Billie Joe looking tearily at him.
"What...where am I going to Billie?" asked Zach. He screamed and started to cry as the nurse pushed on his ribs.
"Does this hurt?" she asked gently. Zach nodded, petrified. The nurse pressed slightly on his ankle and Zach squealed again.
"YES! Yes that hurts too! Oh Billie...Billie please make her stop Billie please..." Zach screamed as the nurse felt his back. He turned his head to Billie, and saw Billie looking at the nurse. He was scared too. Zach didn't know what to say to him, to make him feel better.
"Daddy...please don't let them hurt me..." Zach said, again looking right into Billie's frightened green eyes. Billie Joe turned to Zach and nodded.
"Can't you give him anaesthetic or something? Don't touch him unless you can give him anaethetic. How long before that...other stuff...kicks in?" Billie asked.
"I can wait untill it does I supposed..." the nurse said thoughtfully. Zach nodded.
"Billie...i don't like being naked..." Zach whispered. Billie Joe put the coat over Zach and stroked his head.
"We're almost at the hospital Zach. Just relax." Billie squeezed Zach's hand as soothingly as he knew how.
"But...my dad..."
"I'm your daddy now."
"You...you were abused?" he asked, gawking at Billie in disbelief. Billie's expression still didn't change.
"Yes." he replied, still holding Zach tightly.
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Mike, moving closer to Billie.
