Chapter Fifteen
Dominic looked up from the script in his hands when the doorbell rang. He groaned, tossed the papers aside, and walked to the door. He opened the door and was surprised to find Orlando, Bean, Viggo, and David Wenhem standing on his front porch. “Hey, mates. To what do I owe the pleasure?” He leaned against the door jam and smiled.
The four of them threw him such icy stares, they could’ve frozen fire.
Dominic’s smile fell. “What is it?”
“We have to talk,” Orlando said.
“About what?”
“Can we come in and talk about it?” Viggo asked.
Dominic nodded and watched as the four men went inside and stood in the front hall. “Shoot,” he said, after closing the door.
“Let Billy go,” Viggo said. “Let him go.”
“I love him, why would I let him go?” Dominic began pacing. He couldn’t believe this. They knew he loved Billy.
“Dom, please,” Orlando scoffed. “We know. And you know we know.”
“Know what? Please tell me what you’re talking about?”
“We know you hurt him. On a regular basis. We aren’t stupid, Dom,” Viggo said. “Let him go, please. Before...before you kill him.”
“You two believe this as well?” Dominic said as he turned to face David and Bean who had remained relatively quiet.
David simply turned away. Bean, however, walked towards Dominic. “I believe it. I was here the day we took Billy away. I saw what you did to him.”
Dominic scoffed. “Leave.”
“Not until you let him go. Damn it, Dom. Don’t you see what you’re doing to him? He left once, he will leave again.” Viggo crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Dominic.
Dominic looked at his hand before lifting his head, his eyes filled with tears. He opened his mouth as if to speak but couldn’t find the words. He buried his face in his hands and sank to the ground.
“Dom?” Orlando knelt beside him. “Are you ok?”
Dominic shook his head. “I...I need help. I don’t know why I do it, but I need him. God, I need him.”
Orlando put his arm around Dominic as he looked up at the others. “We can help, Dom. We can help.” Dominic began sobbing into Orlando’s shirt.
David appeared with a glass of water. “Here, mate.”
Dominic graciously took the glass. “Thank you.” His body was shaking but he managed to drink the water without breaking the glass.
“If you really want help, Dom, we’ll be there,” David said, putting a hand on Dominic’s shoulder.
Dominic nodded. “Thank you,” he whispered.
Viggo and Bean were deep in a private conversation, leaving Orlando and David to deal with Dominic.
“What if he isn’t telling the truth? I’m due to fly to Texas to film a movie. Where will Billy go than?”
“I don’t know, Vig. I hate to say it, but maybe we shouldn’t worry about Billy. He’s made his bed.”
“We can’t abandon him. None of us have been in this kind of situation. We have no idea what’s running through Billy’s mind. Maybe he’s afraid to leave. I don’t know, but I will not leave him to face this alone,” Viggo hissed.
Bean held up his hand. “Ok, ok. I see your point.”
Viggo sighed. “He is grateful to us. For all that we did, are still doing. But he loves Dom and there is little we can do to change that. Have you talked to him lately? Billy? You can’t tell me you haven’t noticed the change.”
Bean sighed. “Yeah, I have. Rarely smiles, or laughs.”
“I don’t think he’s eating very much anymore.”
“Fuck, Vig. We have to do something.”
“Do, what, exactly, Sean? I want to help him, but---”
Everyone looked up at the sound of the door opening. Billy’s laughter filled the hallway.
“Did he really say that?” came Elijah’s voice.
“Yeah, he did. The look on everyone else’s...” Billy stopped in mid-sentence as he and Elijah came upon the small crowd. “Hey guys.”
Viggo could see Billy tense and began to wonder if their visit had made things worse.
Dominic jumped to his feet and flew to Billy. “You’re home!” He pulled Billy into a tight hug and kissed him. “I missed you.”
“Missed you, too.”
“I’m sorry we can’t stay, but we must go, I’m afraid.” Viggo shot Bean a silencing look while David cautiously gripped Orlando’s arm.
“Do you really have to? I’ve rather...enjoyed our visit.” Dominic turned and looked at the four men. They could all catch the hidden malice in his voice, even if Billy and Elijah didn’t.
“Yeah, sorry,” Bean said, smiling slightly.
There was the usual exchange of good-byes and before long, it was only Billy, Dominic, and a very uncomfortable Elijah.
“I’ll go get dinner ready, love.” Dominic leaned over and gave Billy a soft kiss before leaving the front hallway.
“Lij, you’d...you’d better go,” Billy said, turning to face Elijah. “I don’t know what happened, but...it’s best if you aren’t here.”
“Billy. Leave. Please.” Elijah looked at Billy, his eyes pleading. “Don’t stay if you’re scared.”
“I’m not scared for me. I’m scared for you, Lij. Please, just go.” Billy gathered Elijah in his arms and kissed his forehead. “Please.”
Elijah nodded as he tried to keep his tears back. “I love you, Billy. I really do.”
Billy ran his hand down Elijah’s cheek. It hit him then how deep Elijah’s feelings were for him. He’d been there through it all and he’d never abandoned Billy, even when things were their darkest. “Lij, please. I love you, too, but I need you to go.”
Elijah nodded as he hugged Billy again. “Watch yourself, Billy.” He kissed Billy on the cheek. “Be careful,” he said as he slowly walked out the door.
Billy leaned against the wall and struggled to keep his emotions in check. The last thing he wanted was to upset Dominic.
“Billy, love, you coming?” Dominic said, poking his head around the corner.
“I’ll be there in a minute.”
“A minute, eh? You know why our good friends stopped by? They wanted me to let you go.” Dominic slowly stepped into the hallway. “They know. It fucking kills me they know and think they can do something about, like the last time.” He stood right in front of Billy, their faces just inches apart. “You haven’t told anyone about this time, have you?”
Billy shook his head. “No. I haven’t told anyone.” His breathing intensified. Something about the look in Dominic’s eyes scared the hell out of him.
“Just like you didn’t tell anyone before? Damn it, Billy. I’m trying to change. The least you could do is try and change as well.”
“I’m sorry,” Billy pleaded. He reached out and grabbed Dominic’s hand. “I’m really sorry. I’ll try and change, but I swear I didn’t tell anyone.”
Dominic shook Billy’s hand off his. “You expect me to believe that? After the way you betrayed me last time?” He chuckled and shook his head as he began to pace in front of Billy. “I managed to settle them, lie, said I wanted to change. But you are mine and I won’t let anyone have you. Even if it means, I have to kill you.” He reached behind his back and extracted a gun from the waistband of his pants. He pointed the barrel at Billy’s chest.
Billy could no longer control his tears. “Please, Dom. Please. I didn’t tell anyone. I won’t tell anyone. Please. I’m yours. No one else’s.”
Dominic stared silently at Billy. He cocked the gun back. “I don’t believe you, Billy. I heard you and Elijah. He can’t have you, Billy. You’re mine.”
“Please, Dom,” Billy said as the tears streaked down his face.
“I’m afraid it’s too late.” Dominic pulled the trigger and the sound of a gunshot filled the quiet air.

AHHHH
OMFG I'm hyperventilating.
I have no words.
just. none.
So I think I'll ramble out nonsense a little longer.
dom is insane...only way to explain it. He fell on the set of Lost or something and hit his head a little too hard. But he was beating Billy before lost, wasn't he? hmm, must of hit his head in NZ. yeah. ok
Need more, before I really do die of anxiety.
<33
From:
Re: AHHHH
yes he is insane. As for lost, well, I don't mention it ever happening but I do go from 2002? 2003? to 2005 so..who knows. Maybe they filmed it and it was only one season (here's hoping that isn't true) or it didn't happen..honestly when I started writing this I, *gasp* didn't know about Lost. Can't wait to see it though...
From:
Re: AHHHH
I think I was in a state of shock...oh wait...I still am!! ahhhh
hahaha sorry, but yeah, pleasseee tell me you have the next part written?
Oh, and does Dom really love billy? even in his own sick way? or is he just being obsessive? Did that question make sense?
right, thanks
<3
From:
Re: AHHHH
Does Dom love Billy? I'd have to say yes, he does. I'm sure if I'll go into Dom's problem, but he loves Billy so much, he's afraid of losing him, ya know? especially with poor Elijah there. That isn't the only reason he beats Billy though, why he controls him. I haven't had any thought into why he does it so I doubt it will come up. But to answer your question. In his own sick, obsessive way, Dom loves Billy with a passion.
