Status Updates From Beard with Me (Winston Brot...

This.
This was the best sound. Singing with Billy and his guitar while fighting laughter.Never in my life had I been so happy.Never in my life had I imagined or dreamed such happiness was possible. And nothing existed beyond right now,this moment,and Billy’s smile
They were so cute and it breaks my heart because in a fair life they would have been together in the 18 and half years between this and present time

He’ll never touch her again. I’ll keep her safe. I’ll protect her.
I would. Even if she didn’t want me to. Even if she wanted to handle things on her own. Even if I had to persuade her, convince her. Even if it meant I had to send her a million miles away.
Oh Billy, that's what will happen isn't it?

P.S. the way they both looked back to watch the other 🥺

Jethro had always been good to me, but everybody knew he stole cars for the Iron Wraiths. Whereas Billy was at home, or working, or at practice, or at school, taking care of his family and managing himself like he was thirty-six, not sixteen.
Thank you Scarlet! That asshole Ben was already on my "you suck" list for heavly hitting on her, a 14 years old, now he shit talks Billy? I'm glad he's dead, I said it

All we’d been told by everyone was how perfect Ben (Claire dead husband) was, but he was a self centered creep! He persued her when she was 14! He was 19!

This one is gonna be tough because it’s set in the past and it's the backstory of Billy and Claire (gotta get used to call her Scarlet since it was her name before she changed it) from when they were teens, so we already know:
1-3 out of 4 of their parents are abusive
2-Billy’s father killed the family dog and I’m gonna skip the scene
3-their relationship here obviously ended in heartbreak
