There is so much I could write here. I will stick to one clear point. Thank you for the hint about Simon's love, strength and acceptance.
I'm with Steph on this one.
That book's got one hell of a lot to answer for!!!
Good chapter though and I'm still enjoying it.

Growing old disgracefully.
*shudders*
*shudders* I think I know where Billie's coming from (where you have her coming from). Waiting is NEVER easy. There are times... No, this is about the story!
Children get things in their head... Scary/horrible things. Somehow, they think that ending it all will fix it. Those who have "religion" seem to want to "test" God (if you love me, you'll... Or, if you don't want me to die, you'll...). They don't recall the stories where they're told to NOT test...
But, it doesn't HAVE to be religion. If they suffer from depression or have a tendency that way, too much stress can trigger it. (The stress doesn't have to be BAD. It can be good! And, in Billie's case, she's had the stress of learning to live like the girl she is. The stress of a large family, that accepts her. The stress of Aunt Stella coming home & changing things. There was the stress of the construction. The list goes on an on...) She has the example of Trish, who had no APPARENT long term ill effects of her "do-it-yourself" job.
No, I doubt she had any intention of poking anyone else (other than herself) with that knife. But, in her condition, ANYONE could have gotten hurt. It will be interesting to see what happens. No matter what, it will change things for the family, at least to some extent. If the Sister dies... Billie will have that much stress, assuming services lets her stay with Cathy (obviously a bad mother who would let her kid get to this state and not do anything)... If Sister Maria's healed? Then what? A fogged memory or two? and WHO does the healing? Yeah...
You don't make it easy on your readers, you know...
Thanks.

Whew...
What do you say to this? Poor Billie, poor sister Maria, serious work for Cathy. And that school needs a quick check on security! Not only was a child missing but she had access to a knife?
Easy As Falling Off A Bike pt 1401
Bilie's torment touches the Soul. Will the Blue Light hep Billie? Will it heal Sister Maria?

Catching up
It's quite a task catching up all my favourite stories after 11 weeks away.
I see 'Bike' hasn't lost it's impact; as exciting now as it was at the beginning.
You know there's some tension around the corner when the Cameron household have a few days of domestic bliss.
Thanks Ang, and keep that muse well fed.

Lets hope
that Cathy is able to work her blue light magic, Otherwise things do not look too good for Sister Marie , And you would have to say also by definition Billie, I know she is too young to be locked away, But once the plods become involved, You can bet your life the Social Service's will not be far behind, And that would not be good news for Billie, If they decide in their infinite wisdom that Cathy was not the right person to care for her troubled daughter.
Kirri
has to agree with kirri
and, this is something Kathy's really going to have to pull out all the help she can get, spec. if the Sister is more than minorly injured. I see Billie being taken for least the time being. She's least injured another person, and that i doubt will be ignored, no matter the circumstances.
.
what a mess this is.
So
Billie needs to learn she is loved. I can make a difference, if she can believe it.
