Chapter Twenty One (previous/next)

A/N: Hey guys! Hope you’re all having a brilliant new year so far. And if not, it’ll get better. It always does and that’s a promise :) Another incredibly tough chapter for Billy and Diana. This part is pretty dark. Alcoholism, miscarriage, abortion, and sex are all prevalent topics so read with caution!

That night I dreamed of fire. Of fury. Of scorching flames that licked and leaped and pranced their way across painted ceilings. The fire grew tall and stole my breath away. Punched through doors. Smashed windows. Bubbled up from the carpets and melted shoes. It consumed everything. Because it could.

I fought my way out of sleep with a noiseless cry, soaked in sweat and holding the edges of the bed just so that I could convince myself it was real. I wasn’t burning. I was safe. In Billy’s bed with the sheets wrapped around my legs and with him breathing deeply beside me. Lost in some dream.
