** Lyrics from "My Friend Peter" by Alkaline Trio **
~~~~~~~
I don't care who you've been sleeping with these days
You're out of my hair
It's growing just above my smiling face that I wear
Every night I drink myself to sleep
Not thinking about you
Not thinking about anything at all
It had been seven months since they broke up. Seven months since the premieres. Seven months since Billy had seen, or even talked to, Dom.
Seven months is supposed to be enough healing time. But how can one heal so quickly after being together for so long with one person. With the person you love.
He kept himself busy. He worked as often as he could. Movies and plays and anything he could get his hands on. On the outside, to the public, Billy Boyd was a successful actor. Hell, he knew he was. He was given many offers, and felt proud that he was able to turn some of them down. This was everything he worked for, right?
Well, no. Billy didn't work his entire life so he could meet the man of his dreams, spend 3 years of his life loving him, only to be rejected and pushed to the side…to be replaced.
Every so often Billy would think about Dom. He would remember their lives for those 3 years. He couldn't remember being as happy and as in love as he did during that time. Life without Dom was never an option, never a thought.
Until that one day, Dom just decided he didn't want it anymore. Billy doesn't remember the breakup. Doesn't remember crying. Doesn't remember Dom's excuse. All Billy remembers is falling onto the floor and staring at Dom's feet walk away from him. He never saw him after that.
Billy's life since then has been one, long, never-ending blur. He moved back home to Glasgow, while Dom went back to LA. He met up with old friends, while Dom continued to make new ones.
His friends helped him quite a bit. But it took so much effort for Billy to get out of bed each morning when he wasn't filming. All he could do was lie in bed, stare at the ceiling, and think about Dom. Until, of course, he declared that he was over him, he had moved on. Billy knew it wasn't true, but how could he continue with his life like this.
So he made plans to get out of the house.
On one particular afternoon, Billy scurried through each room in search of his keys. He was going to be late meeting someone if he didn't find them soon. He didn't even notice the phone ringing until the answering machine picked up. He stopped dead in his tracks as the voice blared across the room.
"Billy? It's Dom. Uhm, just calling to say hi, see how things are." Billy collapsed onto the couch. He shook his hand and dropped his face into his hands. He didn't hear anything else, so many thoughts were buzzing through his head.
As the machine beeped, signaling the end of the message, Billy looked up. No, he didn't need this. He didn't need Dom.
I don't care who you've been dining with these days
It's more than fair
Much rather be drinking anyways
With my friend Peter
Who lives so fucking far away
Yet not as far as you
Even though you live right down my fucking street
But how much did he want Dom? Maybe he would take him back, maybe Dom changed his mind. Maybe he still loved Billy.
He walked to the answering machine and pressed Play.
"Billy? It's Dom. Uhm, just calling to say hi, see how things are. It's been a while since we've talked. I see you are a busy lad these days." There was a long pause followed by a sigh. "Well uh, I guess I better go." Another pause. "I miss you, Bills." And finally a click.
Billy picked up the phone and pressed On.
And I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help
I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do
But what was he going to say to Dom? What was he going to say to the man that caused such heartache? Billy had been torn up inside for seven months.
He put the phone back on the cradle and stared at it.
I don't care who you've been kissing on these days
It's out of my hands
and in my mouth with such a pleasant taste
I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace
And then I'll drink 23 more
To wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face
Billy let out a low chuckle. He picked up the phone and called Dom's cell.
No answer.
But Billy wasn't about to hang up. He had plenty to say to Dom.
I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help
I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do
"Dom, it's Billy."
Continue? Yes? No? Maybe?
