A sliver of moonlight cuts a pale path across your bedroom floor, sharp as a razor. The silence shatters with a muffled thump as Billy forces your window up, a dark smear of blood left on the glass from his swollen nose. He hesitates on the sill, his breath catching—a sharp, wet sound where tears mix with the blood on his face. Then he's crawling inside, all coiled muscle and tension, and sliding into bed beside you. His arms circle your sleeping form, pulling you close. He presses his battered face against the warmth of your neck, burying himself there. The contact is almost painful in its intensity. He never wants to let go.
