It bugged me a lot more than it should have, and I didn’t like it. I’d known he had sex, I wasn’t an idiot, and that actually wasn’t what bothered me, it was how that… Barbie type… bitch had acted all possessive and kissed him before calling him Sweetums. How fucking stupid was that nickname? And it felt like more than sex, and I wondered if it was more. If he was, like, with her. I kept wondering what she meant when she said ‘See you tomorrow,’ as if they had a date or something.

It shouldn’t have bothered me, but it did, and I didn’t like that it did.

The shooting took my mind off it a little; at least I’d thought it had until we were in the car on our way back home.

“Where are you at today?” Billie asked.

“Um, what?” I turned towards her. “Oh, I don’t know. Was I that bad?”

“No, you just seemed a bit off, but you handled it well. I wasn’t worried you’d be a safety risk,” she smiled. “Think you’ve got most of it in your muscle memory by now.”

“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Still need to be alert, but it’s definitely a good thing.” She turned at the intersection leading up to our house. “Still wondering what’s bothering you.”

“It’s nothing about that. Just regular crap.”

“Well, guess that’s good. When the regular crap is what’s bothering you, I mean.”

I hadn’t thought about it like that, but she was right, and I started laughing.

“Nice change of pace,” I said, still laughing, and Billie started, too. “Maybe I’ll start worrying about makeup soon.”

“Just a matter of time, and then you’ll complain about not finding the right shade of lipstick.”

“Don’t even joke about that! I like this shade.”

We both kept laughing until she pulled up outside the house. I unlocked the seatbelt and leaned over to kiss her cheek.

“You’re the best, Billie.”

“You know it,” she smiled. “I’m working late next week, but I thought we’d take a long practice the week after. I wanna test the strength in your wrists.”

“Not sure you need to. I can tell you it’s shit.”

“All the more reason to test it. Say hi to your mom and dad for me.”

I’d missed dinner, which felt just as good, and when I got back up to my room, all those nasty little thoughts sneaked their way back into my head. Like if he was with Miss Silicone Tits, and what they were doing, but she’d said ‘see you tomorrow,’ so he might be alone. Finally, it felt like I just had to know, so I grabbed a movie, giving me a reason to see him—not that we’d ever watched a movie together, but still—and I left my room.

“I’m going out,” I yelled down the stairs that led to the TV room in the basement.

“Wait, what? Where?” Mom yelled back.

“She’s a woman of legal age, she’s allowed to leave the house without our permission,” Dad yelled from the living room to the left. “Have fun, Baby Girl.
