Chapter 7.

As William opened his eyes, he saw his mom smiling down at him.

"Hey baby." She smiled.

"Where am I?" He asked.

"Your still at the hospital hun. I got here and apparently you fell down in Eric's room." Karly explained.

"Yeah, I was trying to catch up with Paris." William explained.

"Luckily, when you fell, it didn't hurt the bone more, it just bruised." Karly smiled.

"That's good." William sighed in relief, then looked over and saw that his brother was in the bed beside him. "How's Eric?"

"He's alright. His stitches were ripped, but they gave him new ones." Karly explained.

"I'm glad he's ok." William sighed in relief.

They both heard a groan and noticed that Eric had woken up.

"Billy? What happened?" He asked.

"I fell, remember?" William asked.

"Oh yeah." Eric said.

"Alright boys, I'll be back later." Karly smiled as she left.

"So..." William said, making Eric laugh.

"This got awkward fast." Eric said.

"No kidding." William agreed before they started laughing.

However, all good things, must come to a end. This one ended when a drunk person coming into the room.

(A/N he is Billy right now)

Billy and Eric were on their phones when they heard the door opening and saw their dad in the doorway. Billy gripped the edge of the bed because he thought it was like his nightmare and because he didn't wanna yell at his dad, especially with Eric in the room.

"Hey dad." Eric said.

He was the only one who still had a decent relationship with his dad. William looked really mad.

"Are you ok dad?" Billy asked.

They heard the lock click and someone running in the hall.

"What the heck are you doing?!" They heard Karly yelling.

Billy's nightmare was coming true...

"If you won't let me have them, then I will hurt them!" William yelled back.

"Let me in! They are mine!" Karly yelled.

"No they aren't, and I'm gonna start hurting them now, starting with Billy!" William yelled as he came over to his son and picked him up by the neck.

"Mom! Call the police!" Eric yelled.

"Shut up Eric!" William yelled as he punched him in the face.

Billy tried to get out of his dad's grip, but that resulted in his dad punching him in the nose and eye. Then, Billy did a flip, kicking his dad in the face and landed on the ground. He ran to the door and unlocked it quickly before he fell to the ground because he wasn't using crutches. William picked him up by the neck and squeezed hard enough that Billy was quickly losing oxygen. Billy desperately grabbed at his dad's hands with tears streaming down his face, but it didn't work as his face started turning purple.

"Billy!" Eric yelled.

Just as Billy started losing consciousness , the police, a doctor, a few nurses and Karly came in the room. The police got Billy out of his dad's grip, handcuffed him and lead him out of the room. The nurses put Billy on the bed, the doctor put a oxygen mask over his face and Karly started comforting him. The doctor left after a few minutes and so did the nurses. The police were asking Eric what happened as Karly got on Billy's bed and hugged him tightly. She felt the tears coming down her face and she whispered in his ear.

"I'm so sorry baby."

(A/N he is William again)

After a few minutes, the police left and the doctor said that William could go home. But he stayed in the room with Eric. Eric was sleeping now.

"Honey, let's go." Karly said.

"I...I'm scared. I don't want to leave him." William admitted.

"Honey, your father is in jail. He can't get him or you." Karly reassured as she hugged him.

"Alright, I'm coming." William surrendered as he yawned.

"Are you tired by any chance?" Karly laughed.

"No...maybe a little." William said as his mom handed him his crutches.

"Let's go home hun." Karly smiled as she held open the door.

As soon as they got in the car and started driving home, Karly looked over to see William was asleep. She continued driving. At least things were starting to go their way. When they got home, after a few failed attempts to wake him up, Karly ended up half carrying, half walking her son in the house. She saw that Erin was in the house as she rang the doorbell.

"Yes mom?" Erin asked as soon as she opened the door.

"Billy has had a long day. Can you go get his crutches out of the car?" Karly asked.

"Sure mom." Erin said as she went to the car.

Karly laid her son down on the couch and kissed his forehead.

"Get some rest baby." She said quietly as she went to go make dinner.
