All of this normalcy was really messing with Billy's head. Kate was home and yet it seemed as if this was some kind of restart. The whole idea of her coming back in such a fashion was something Billy had never predicted. He had always thought that there would be some kind of great battle he would have to fight to get to her. But instead, she was brought home by Max, Jeffrey was killed by the police, and all of it seemed so fairy tale like. Billy had looked forward to bashing Jeffrey to death for the rape of Kate. All of that had been taken from him. He felt bad about that. He had wanted to be the the hero who had beaten the bad guy and gotten the girl as the ultimate reward. Instead he got the girl back without having beaten the bad guy.<br/><br/>Billy felt that he did not really deserve this all in that case. He had been so powerless to save Kate during her rape. He had literally just let it happen while another man held him back. His behavior in that situation was unforgivable and he was surprised that Kate was even able to look at him without feeling some kind of resentment. Before he could ever be happy with himself, he was going to have to make up for that moment. There seemed no way to make that possible now. However, he hoped that he could find a way.<br/><br/>Kate was going to be with him for another six months before she started school. Billy was going to make these months the most happiest she had ever been. If he did that then he was going to be appeased with himself. It was the only way he could make himself happy. He looked over to the hard faced Max.<br/><br/>"What does she really like to do? I have not really spent a lot of time with her like you have. So is there anything you could help me with?" Billy asked as he tried to compare the stuff the old Kate once enjoyed to the very little that he knew about the current Kate. He knew that she enjoyed the goth lifestyle but it seemed that she was lightening up on it a little since her hair had returned to the beautiful blond that it had once been. Billy knew better than to just make a judgment based on that fact. Other people could change as well as stay the same. She seemed to be in a lot less pain than she had been when she was here the first time. Yet, alleviating her pain may have nothing to do with how she felt toward the goth lifestyle.<br/><br/>He was going to have to talk to her directly to know how that worked out but for now all he could do was wait to talk to Kate as well as getting a reply from Max. Billy saw out of the corner of his eyes that Kate was approaching. Other than that he was not really focused on the world, though he could tell that Darlene was still in the room, he was not paying any particular attention to her at the moment. Kate was his current concern.
