Isabelle's POV:
I was getting ready for bed, putting on a tank top and shorts. The sound of a loud car broke me from my nightly duties. I looked out the window and didn't see anything. I shrugged it off and went to lay down, I was tired from being out in the sun all day and I eventually fell asleep. I woke up to a thud and sat up, my eyes scanning my room. I left my night light on and when I saw Billy Hargrove laying on my carpeted floor I nearly screamed. Billy looked up and covered my mouth. I glared at him and he said "please don't scream." He removed his hand from my mouth and said "what are you doing here?" He closed my window and said "I can talk to you? And you won't shut me out?" I furrowed my eyebrows and said "what? No." My bedroom door began to open and I grabbed my phone, putting it up to my ear, pushing Billy behind my bed. My dad walked in and said "make sure you go to bed." "I will. Just finishing up this call." He nodded and closed my door. I quickly got up and locked it. Billy got up onto my bed, throwing a pair of clothes on the floor. "What's that?" "I need to stay here." He didn't answer my question. "What happened? If you don't mind me asking." My nightlight didn't bring too much light into my room as it wasn't that bright since it was for nighttime. Billy turned on the lamp that was on his side of the room. When I saw his bruise, I gasped. I cupped his cheeks and said "Billy who did this to you?" "My dad." He mumbled. I stared at him and removed my hands from his cheeks. I said "do you want some ice?" He nodded and I said "stay here. I'll be back." I quickly walked downstairs, getting him some ice and I handed it to him. He pressed it against his face, hissing at the pain. "Of course you can stay here. Your dad is an asshole." Billy nodded in agreement and said "I hate him." "I'm so sorry that you have to go through that." He looked around my room and said "this is cute." I smiled and said "thanks." Billy looked at my chest and noticed that I didn't have a bra on. I crossed my arms over my chest and he immediately said "I'm sorry. I shouldn't of done that. Sometimes I think with my dick instead of my brain." "You're a guy. It's fine." I replied. Billy looked down at the ground and said "I don't want you to think I'm using you. I'm not. I truly want to be in a relationship with you." I blushed and said "really?" "Yeah. And I don't talk about my feelings a lot so sorry if it's lame." "It's not lame. Not at all." Billy smiled. A genuine smile. Not a cocky one. Not a conceited one. A genuine smile. He was happy. "You should smile more. It looks good on you, Hargrove." "I'm sure it does, Kline." "Are you hungry?" I asked him. He nodded and I said "I could get you some leftovers." "Ok." I stood up and opened the door, looking down the hallway to see if my parents were still awake. I felt Billy grab my arm and he said "I wanna come with you." I nodded and told him to be quiet. The two of us walked down the stairs and to the kitchen. Billy looked around the large house and said "this place is huge." I went to the fridge and grabbed some food for billy. "What is it?" He said as he stood next to me. "Broccoli and potatoes. Unless you want the chicken too." He nodded and I began to put some on a plate. "Isabelle are you downstairs?" My dad's voice came form the top of the stairs. "Yeah. I'm just getting some leftovers." "Your mother and I heard voices." "There's nobody here but me." I said. I heard a door close, my dad went back into the bedroom. I hugged and Billy said "do you always lie to your dad?" "Ever since he started spending a lot of time at work." "You close with your dad?" "Yeah. Used to be." "I've never had that. I was close with my mom but never my dad." "Your mom lets your dad do whatever he wants to you?" Billy gulped and said "I don't wanna talk about it." I nodded and said "I understand that. Let me heat up your food." I put his plate in the microwave and heated it up. The two of us walked back upstairs and into my bedroom. I locked the door and Billy ate his food. Once he was finished I put the plate on my desk. Billy took off his tank top, he was still in his lifeguard gear. "You mind if I sleep with no shirt?" "I don't mind." I patted the spot next to me and he sat down. "I can sleep on the bed?" "Of course you can." He smiled again and said "you're really nice to me. You know of my reputation and you know that I'm an asshole. And you still be nice to me." "You seriously don't know why I'm nice to you?" I asked him. Billy shook his head and I told him to move closer to me. He did and I said "it's cause I've always had a crush on you, Hargrove." Billy smirked and said "as much as I like our little nickname thing we have going on, I'd prefer you to call me Billy." I nodded and said "deal. On the occasion I get you call you Hargrove." "Deal." Billy replied. "And you've always had a crush on me?" I blushed while rolling my eyes. "Yes. Now you know. So let's go to sleep and skip the awkwardness." Billy nodded and I laid down, Billy doing the same. Billy turned out the lamp and said "can we sleep in? Since I'm already here and can take you to Starcourt whenever?" "Sure. We can sleep in a little bit. As long as my dad doesn't barge in here." It took me a little longer to fall asleep than it did for Billy. He fell asleep immediately. And I think it was cause he was able to sleep without the worry of his father. I scooted closer to him since his body heat made the entire bed a lot warmer. He lazily draped his arm over me and I smiled to myself.

Here's the update! Hope it's good and I hope it isn't moving too fast for people's liking. I don't usually write slow burn fics so I hope this is ok.
