Chapter 15
“Are you okay? You’ve been really quiet.”
Eric sat down on the bed, running his fingers through his hair. “I was at the store, and I heard these women talking about me. Basically the same shit your friend Arlene was going on about, it had me thinking when it would fucking end. I’ve been in this town for several months now. I’ve kept to myself, haven’t bothered anyone, and I’m still treated like some circus freak. Never did I expect to be relieved to return to New York, even for one week. It would be a welcome distraction.” He took her hand, pulling her down on the bed with him. “You are the only person keeping me sane right now. I’m not even bothered with seeing my parents again, as long as you’re there with me. I don’t think I could handle it alone.”
Sookie rested her head against his shoulder, entwining her fingers with his. “We’re in this together; you never have to worry about that. I think I’m ready to stay at my house tonight. I’m done being afraid of what Bill might do, he can’t hurt me anymore.”
“You might be ready, but I’m not. I won’t be able to rest knowing you’re next door by yourself, not until they catch him.”
“Oh, I wasn’t planning on being there by myself,” she commented. “I’m not that brave just yet, but I feel it’s time to sleep in my own bed. You will of course be joining me.”
He smiled, kissing her temple. “You have yourself a deal.”

“I won’t apologize; you need to learn how to take a joke.”
Sookie glared at the red head. “What part of calling my boyfriend a child killer was supposed to be funny? He already gets enough crap from everyone around town; he doesn’t need it from someone who is supposed to be my friend. I love you, Arlene, but you can be so damn judgmental sometimes. You make all kinds of bad decisions in your life, but do I ever say anything negative to you about it? No, because friends support one another through the good and the bad. The kind of friend Sam and Amelia have been to me, where’s the support on your end?”
Arlene nodded, letting out a sigh. “Okay, I get your point. I’m sorry for saying what I did. I don’t really know Eric and as far as boyfriends go, he seems decent enough. Just be careful, it took me four husbands to finally get it right.”
Sookie rolled her eyes, praying to anyone who would listen to let her get it right the first time.

She was glad that Sam gave her the extra vacation time, but wasn’t really worried. He knew how much she could use the break. In two more weeks, she would be off to New York with Eric. Sookie knew they weren’t going for fun, but it would still be her first time in the big city. It was hard not to be somewhat excited, even though she dreaded meeting his family. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
“When did everything get so complicated?”
Sookie was broken out of her reverie by a voice to her side, gasping at the sight of Bill standing there. She was headed to her car in the Merlotte’s parking lot after a busy night, and he was the last person she expected to see. “What?” He looked awful, paler than usual, and it was as if he hadn’t slept in days.
Bill shook his head, pacing back and forth. “It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I’m not that person. My father was an asshole, he did nothing but beat my mother and I senseless. I told myself that when I got older, I would never be like him. I…I didn’t mean to hurt her. She was saying all kinds of drivel and I just wanted her to shut up, she wasn’t supposed to talk back to me. That’s not how things worked. I grabbed her just to make her stop, but I didn’t mean to kill her. You have to believe that. I just wanted her to stop.”
Sookie gulped, thinking of how it would be best to approach him. “It’s okay; you just need to go to the police. Tell them everything you told me, then it will all be over. You won’t have to run anymore. You can do the right thing, I know you didn’t mean for this to happen. It was just an accident.” She figured arguing with him would be a very stupid move, so decided to try another tactic.
“No, they won’t understand. I can’t go to jail; I’ll never survive in there. That’s not an option; I’m only coming to you now because I know you’re someone I can trust. I’ve been so horrible to you, Sookie, but he’s not good enough. You can come away with me; I’ll finally give you the life you deserve. The life we should have had from the start, I was an idiot to think I could live without you.”
“I can’t do that, Bill. Please, you have to turn yourself in,” she pleaded, hoping he would listen for once.
Anger clouded his features at her dismissal. “You always were a stubborn bitch, you know that? I’m offering you the world. You’ll never have to work again, I’ll give you everything you desire and you’re throwing it all away for a man who will eventually grow tired of you? Stop!” Bill yelled, noticing that she was going for her cell phone. “Put it down, this isn’t the time for heroics.”
Sookie pulled out her phone, placing it on the ground. She was going to shout and hope that someone would come running, but when he yanked a black object out of his pocket, she remained quiet.
He moved closer to her, seeing the fear in her eyes as he raised the gun. “I didn’t want it to come to this, but I don’t have another alternative. I can’t go to prison.”
She felt tears form, not knowing what else to do. “You don’t want to do this, there’s already blood on your hands. I know you loved me once, please, just let me go. I won’t tell anyone that I saw you, I’ll even help you leave town. You can go somewhere and start new; no one will ever have to know. But if you kill me, your life really will be over.”
Bill raised the gun higher. “It already is,” and with that said, he pulled the trigger.
