TW's โ cursing, sex (in details)
โMASTERLISTโ
The end of your pencil tapped against the edge of your desk, the side of your head resting on your hand. Your leg bounced to the same rhythm as your pencil, while you listened to your teacher finish up telling you guys about a project. You were all reading "Pride and Prejudice", or at least had read it, and now needed to do the final project for it. You were aloud to work in groups of up to four, but you knew you'd only be working with one person โ your best friend, Billy Hargrove.
Billy's step-mom, Susan, and your own mother were close friends. They worked together, and when you had been invited over for dinner the first week they moved to Hawkins, you and Billy had clicked. The two of you spent most of the night in his room, flipping through his vinyl's and helping him hang up his posters. You couldn't help but mock him about the clichรจ Playboy posters he had, and all the random crap in his room. But the two of you hit it off, becoming close friends quick.
And now he was your partner for every english assignment, art project, and science project. Those were the three classes you shared together. The first time you tried pairing up with someone other than him, a girl named Cheryl, he didn't speak to you for three whole days. Even when he drove you to and from school, he blared his music so loud your ears rang for hours afterwards.
Only after the project was over, and you showed up at his door with two tickets to see a movie.
Once your teacher had finished giving out her information and instructions, the class dispersed to get with their groups or partners. You leaned your head back, already finding Billy getting up from his seat behind you. He tossed his backpack onto the now-vacant desk beside yours, slamming his body into the chair with a grunt. This was your cue to get up and go get the poster board you would need for the project. You returned with a plain, white board compared to the other varying colors of purple, green, blue and red.
โ Get your gross feet off the desk. โ you ordered, glaring down at Billy since your hands were preoccupied. Billy rolled his eyes, but complied and removed his feet, the legs of the chair falling back onto the floor.
โ Alright, doll, what's the plan? โ Billy questioned, reaching into your backpack and pulling out your personal copy of the book. You'd already read the book various times throughout middle school and early high school, so you and Billy switched off borrowing your book.
โ I figured I'd paint the board, sort of like a collage. Have different things on it. โ you explained, looking down at him from the other side of the desk.
โ Sounds good to me. We have two weeks, right? โ he asked, quirking an eyebrow up at you.
โ Yup, so if you don't finish the book by then, I'll kick your fucking ass. โ you hissed, watching as he paused his skimming through the book.
โ What?
โ There weren't any lions in the book, jerk. You have two days to finish it. You're three fourths done, because that's how much we've read together, so you can finish a hundred pages by Thursday. โ you sighed, rolling your eyes.
You walked over and sat in your own chair.
โ Yeah, yeah, alright Your Highness. โ he grumbled, closing the book and tossing it on top of the poster. โ What else? We're doing the whole 'main characters, theme, plot, climax' stuff, right?
โ Of course that's the only word you'd remember. โ you grinned, shoving his shoulder as he laughed. โ The dramatic structure, yes. And all the other stuff. We'll split it up. โ you said, putting the book away. โ You're coming over after dropping Max off, right? โ you asked, standing up.
โ Yeah. Most likely around 4:00. โ he said, standing up as well when the bell rang and slinging his bag over his shoulder. โ Let's go, doll.
Once Billy dropped you off at home, you laid the poster board on your bed and your backpack by your desk. You decided to shower and change into comfy clothes before Billy came over, after all you had about an hour. So you grabbed a pair of skull pajama pants and a big shirt, before heading into the bathroom. You turned the water on high, stripping off your clothes from the day, leaving you in your underwear. Grabbing your moms essential rose oil, you dropped a couple drops into the shower before leaving it slightly unopened on the rack next to the shower. The smell would help relieve the tension of the day, and get you focused for schoolwork. Finally, you took off your bra and underwear, stepping in.
The hot water hit you in the face, and you welcomed it. Scrubbing your face, you made sure to get your mascara and concealer off so that when you got out you wouldn't look horrifying. You let the water travel to your hair, smoothing it down your shoulders. Steam filled up the bathroom, the smell of rose invading your senses.
The roaring of the water was so loud that you didn't hear your front door open or Billy shouting for you name.
Billy pulled up to your driveway, hopping out of his car and heading up to the front door. Max had been dropped off at Mike's, not Dustin's, so it was a lot closer than he thought. He decided not to stop at home afterwards, and just head straight to your place. So he got there around 3:20, rather than 4:00. Not that big of a deal.
Banging on the door, Billy waited a minute or two for you to answer. When you didn't, he tried again, but louder. After the third time, Billy just barged in, rolling his eyes at the fact it was unlocked.
โ Hey! Y/N? โ he called out, hearing the shower running. Kicking his shoes off by the door, Billy tossed his jacket onto the back of your couch. He didn't hear a response from you, so he headed towards the bathroom. Knocking on the door with his knuckles, he leaned against the frame.
โ Come in! โ Billy's eyes shot open, looking at the closed door in shock.
As you were putting shampoo into your hair, you heard a knock on the bathroom door. You looked over at it through the glass doors, thinking of who it could be. Your mom wouldn't be home until later, and an intruder wouldn't fucking knock. So you probably lost track of time, and it was Billy.
โ Come in. โ you called out, not minding if he did or not. The glass walls were textured and opaque so he wouldn't be able to see anything porn-worthy.
And the two of you had paraded around in front of each other with your underwear on before, it wasn't much different. There was a pause before the door creaked open, and the outline of Billy came in.
โ Sorry I'm early, doll. โ he said, his voice darker than normal. โ It didn't take as long to drop Max off. And I figured I'd stop by right after to get a head start on the project, maybe hang out for a while. I didn't realize you'd be naked.
โ It's fine. โ you laughed, opening the door slightly so you could poke your head out. He was sitting on the sink counter, shirtless. Every other girl in Hawkins was wet for Billy Hargrove, how could they not be? And of course you fell into that category. But you couldn't express it like they could, even though you were closer to him than they were. A few times a week, you'd find your hand sneaking down your underwear, his name leaving your mouth as you writhed against your sheets.
โ Don't take too long, alright? โ Billy pleaded, when he looked up and saw you looking out of the shower. His cheeks were red, but you passed it off as the hot steam. โ Why the hell does it smell like roses in here? There aren't any flowers. โ he questioned suddenly, lifting his nose in the air and diverting his eyes away from your wet neck.
โ It's my momma's rose oil. I use it to relax. โ you said, a 'duh' tone to your voice as you closed the door. โ And I'll take however damn long as I please.
โ Course you will. โ Billy grumbled, and you smirked to yourself. You washed away the shampoo as Billy fired off more questions. โ Why do you need rose oil to relax? Doesn't that burning water help?
โ Not entirely. It helps my muscles from being hunched over all day, and the steam helps with my nose. But the rose oil adds the extra flare. It's rejuvenating.
โ Rejuvenating? The hell's that supposed to mean? โ Billy ridiculed, hopping off the counter and moving closer to the door so he could hear you better over the shower.
โ It's like... I don't know Billy! โ you huffed, opening the door suddenly and popping your head out. You were startled when you came face-to-face with him, noticing the way his eyes darted down to your nearly exposed chest and back up. โ It helps with headaches, my skin if I apply it directly onto it, and the smell is just nice. Don't you think? It's just fucking relaxing. Unlike you right now. It's amplified in the shower, so I apologize if you're not getting the full treatment. โ you snapped, getting frustrated. Having Billy so close in an intimate setting was rough, especially when you couldn't touch. It was like a goddamn museum, you can look, drool and adore. But if you touch, you're getting arrested.
โ I'm getting the full treatment just fine, baby. โ Billy snickered, leaning closer to you as his eyes dragged up and down your hidden form. Your face heated up, and you shot your hand out, shoving his face back.
โ Pff, yeah right, Hargrove. โ you scoffed, closing the door and diving under the water. Your breathing was heavy and you tried to mellow it out by focusing on your conditioner.
โ You still with that Caden guy? โ Billy suddenly asked, his voice now on the other side of the doors, causing your eyebrows to furrow.
โ No, I broke it off two weeks ago. Remember? He couldn't decide if he wanted me or Jenny more, even though he was fucking her the whole time.?โ you laughed dryly, running the conditioner through your hair as you shook your head at the memory.
โ Good. ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Billy muttered, but you still caught it. โ You could do so much better than him.
โ Yeah? โ you laughed, shaking your hair to even out the conditioner. โ Like who, you?
โ Exactly like me. โ you stopped, and turned to the end of the doors. There was an audible zipping sound, causing your heart to speed up.
โ That so? And what makes you think that, Billy? โ you called out, biting your lip and turning to face the water again, washing out the conditioner, in hopes of calming yourself. Your heart hammered against your chest when you heard the shower doors open, as if it was about to leap out of your throat. You didn't turn around however, opting to close your eyes as the water hit your face.
โ Cause. โ he replied simply, his breath ghosting over the shell of your ear.
Your eyes shot open as rough hands gripped at your hips, spinning you around. Your arms collided with Billy's chest, your head tilting up to look at him. His blond hair was beginning to stick to his face, and his blue eyes stuck out more than ever against the tiles. You weren't given anymore time to admire him, because his lips were on yours instantly. Both of you were swallowing water, your lips pushing against each other desperately. Billy walked the two of you backwards carefully, making sure you didn't slip, until your back hit the wall. You were now out of the harsh spray of the water, and you broke away to gasp for clear air.
โ Are you.. โ you attempted to ask, not wanting him to regret this, and have the friendship ruined.
โ Yes, yes I'm sure, Y/N. โ Billy said, not giving you the chance to finish. His hand reached up, pushing your wet, dark hair out of your face before leaning back down to capture you in another demanding kiss. Your fingers tangled in his damp curls, tugging slightly when his hands gripped your waist tightly.
Billy moved his hands under your thighs and crouched, indicating you to jump, and you did. Your legs tightened around his waist for dear life, knowing that if either of you gave out it'd end in a naked hospital trip.
โ Fuck. โ you moaned out, breaking the kiss as his cock rubbed against your pussy, tilting your head back. Billy ducked his head, attaching his mouth to the center of your throat, biting the thin flesh before sucking it. You whimpered, moving your body up and down the slick wall slightly, giving the both of you more friction. His nails dug into your ass, pinning you to the wall so you couldn't move.
โ Don't do that, princess. โ he warned lowly, vibrating against your throat. You could feel the occasional pulse of his cock against you, and you wanted nothing more than for it to be in you. Whether it was your mouth or pussy, you didn't care. You just wanted it.
โ Billy, please. โ you whined, after having waited patiently for him to finishing sucking on your neck.
โ What do you want, baby. โ he growled, pulling back to look up at you. You didn't answer him, instead you held onto his shoulders tightly so you could unwrap your legs without death. Once your feet were safely on the ground, you flipped the two of you, so his back was against the wall and your back was facing the water. Giving him a smirk, you kissed the corner of his mouth before getting on your knees. Billy's tongue darted out, licking along his lips while looking down at you, his hand running through your wet hair. Grabbing his dick in your hand, you pulled at it a few times, twisting your hand along the base. Leaning down, you gave the tip a few kitten licks, gathering the pre-cum onto your tongue. Looking up at Billy, you waited until his eyes fluttered closed before taking the beginning of his dick into your mouth.
โ Ugh, Y/N. โ Billy grunted, his hold on your hair tightening. You smiled internally, licking the underside of his cock, and then left to right in order to ease your mouth farther down. It took a few minutes, but soon enough the tip had gone past your tonsils. Your eyes were watering, and saliva was dribbling out of the edges of your mouth. Billy's hips bucked against your mouth, his tight grip on your hair giving you a steady rhythm. Continuous moans streamed out of his mouth, and eventually you were roughly pulled off of his dick.
โ Not yet, baby. โ he said, more so to himself than you. You understood what he meant, and grinned in satisfaction. Putting his finger under your chin, Billy guided you to stand up. Holding your chin between his thumb and forefinger, Billy pulled you in for a slower, more passionate kiss. Your hands rested on his chest, relishing in the warmth of the water and his body. His free hand traveled down the small of your back, tickling you as he went, before gropping your ass.
โ Billy.. โ you gasped, your voice breathless. You grinded yourself against him again, growing impatient. You looked into his eyes, chewing on your bottom lip to keep in your needy whines. Billy simply smirked down at you, fully aware of what it was you wanted โ no, needed.
โ Hmm? โ he hummed, a wicked grin on his face. You let out an impatient huff, ducking your head to harshly bite at his shoulder. Billy hissed out, the hold on your ass tightening before it released. You thought he was just gonna move you two, but instead he brought his hand down in a harsh slap.
โ Ah, Fuck. โ you cried out in shock, arching your back.
โ Don't bite. โ he warned, and then he finally pushed your body against the wall on the side, the cool tile instantly calming down your burning ass cheek.
โ Then fuck me already, you jerk. โ you snapped, running your thumb over the bite mark on his shoulder. Billy's eyebrow rose at your bold statement, and you simply grinned up at him. His fingers ran down your stomach, tracing at your curves and marks of imperfections. He kept eye contact with you as his middle and ring finger dipped between your folds, slowly dragging from your entrance to your clit. Your body jumped at finally being touched, a sigh leaving your mouth. His thumb rolled around your nub, your hips jerking occasionally, while his middle finger worked it's way inside you. A small grunt sounded in your throat, and you held onto Billy's shoulder, leaning your head against the wall. Once his middle finger was in to the knuckle, he pushed in his ring finger and began pumping them in and out of you, curling them.
โ Ugh. โ you whimpered, your nails digging into his shoulder. Billy started kissing his way around your jaw, neck and chest, occasionally licking your nipple for fun. He added his forefinger after a minute, another moan escaping. You bit your lip, hard, holding in another whimper.
โ Why are you being so quiet, princess? It's just us. โ he mused, biting at your earlobe.
โ I don't wanna boost your ego. โ you snickered, yelping when his thumb pressed down on your clit and his fingers dug inside you even more.
โ Yeah, well. โ he laughed, shaking his head. โ You can't hide the sounds you're making down here. โ he snickered, slowly pulling his three fingers out of you and bringing them to his mouth. His tongue moved between his fingers, licking your juices and the shower water off of them. You watched, mesmerized.
Once his fingers were cleaned to his liking, he gripped the back of your thighs, having you jump up again. He gave you a nod, questioning if you were ready or not. You nodded yours quickly, having been ready for this for months. Aligning his cock with your entrance, Billy didn't have the ability to ease himself in because of your guys positions. So with one quick thrust, he was inside you, his hand splayed out against the wall and the other gripping your ass.
โ Fuck. โ you screamed, throwing your head back, crying out when it hit the wall. Billy was big, bigger than his three fingers. Your arms pulled him closer, trying to even out your breathing and relax your muscles around him. Billy didn't move, small moans being breathed into the crook of your neck.
โ I'm sorry, doll. โ he whispered, knowing it hurt. You didn't have lube or a condom, and not much preparation.
โ No, no, don't apologize. โ you said quickly, squeezing yourself around him to emphasize. โ It's fine. You can.. you can start.
Billy removed his head to look at you, but when you gave him a nod he started moving. He thrusted slowly, not wanting to lose his grip on you or push your body. Both of you were breathing heavily, and you moved your body along his, matching his thrusts with your own.
โ God. โ he moaned, pulling his cock farther out before slamming back in, continuing the movement over and over again. Your nails scratched their way over his shoulder blades, biceps, back and anywhere they could reach. The pain was decreasing as the thrusting went on, and when Billy moved you slightly to the left, slamming back in, your eyes shot open.
โ Holy fuck, right there, Billy! โ you shouted out, arching yourself into him.
Billy smirked up at you, licking his bottom lip and doing as you said. He quickened his pace, no longer hearing your hisses of pain, and thrusted into you quickly. The sound of his skin slapping against yours, as well as the sound of your back hitting the wall, echoed throughout the bathroom, overpowering the shower.
โ Ugh, god. โ Billy grunted, throwing his head back. โ I can't hold out much longer, Y/N. โ he moaned, looking down at you just as you opened your eyes to look at him.
โ I'm close too. โ you whimpered, hiking yourself higher up on the wall, screaming out when his cock hit the spot again, but deeper. โ Fuck, fuck, fuck. โ you moaned, a streamline of curse words leaving your mouth. โ Billy, I'm.. โ you tried to warn him, but a high pitched moan escaped before you could finish as the heat in the bottom of your stomach exploded. A wave of warmth washed over you, your toes curling and your thighs squeezing around Billy, pulling him closer. You mouth fell open, letting out a small, quiet gasp as you orgasmed.
Billy pulled out quickly, feeling his own orgasm wash over him, and his hot cum sprayed over your stomach and the tops of your thighs. Your head fell to his shoulder limply, your body slipping down the shower wall, as it shook from your orgasm. You could see your thighs wiggling, and Billy gently lowered you to the floor. When the cold shower water hit you, you welcomed it, letting the cum wash off of you.
โ Hey. โ Billy whispered, his arms wrapping around you from behind. โ This isn't a one time thing. I want you to be mine.
โ Good. โ you grinned, a giddy feeling coming over you, more intense than your orgasm. You turned around to face him, wrapping your arms around his neck. โ Let's go take a nap, that project can wait until later.

Your every desire will be fulfilled๐
Warning: 18+, sexual content
The night is draped in a blanket of darkness, the soft glow of the moon filtering through your window and casting gentle shadows across your room. Youโre getting ready for bed as the world outside settles into silence. You sit cross-legged on the plush carpet of your room, facing your mirrored wardrobe, running a brush through your hair.
The creaking of the window signals Billyโs arrival. You turn to meet his gaze, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips. You are not technically dating. You haven't discussed what you are, but you have been going out for a month now, and you know for a fact that he has been only seeing you.
-Hey. - you greet him softly, the word contrasting with the wild beating of your heart.
His piercing blue eyes meet yours, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips.
-Hey doll. - he responds in his trademark confident tone, his voice low and husky. He takes off his jacket and drops it down on your bed.
Then, without another word, he closes the distance between you, his presence filling the room with an electric energy that sets your heart racing. He bends down and cups your jaw, capturing your lips in a kiss that makes your head spin. When he breaks the kiss you swear youโre still seeing the stars and absently notice that he settles behind you, resting his back against your bed. With a gentle tug, he pulls you against him. You find yourself seated between his legs, facing the mirror as he begins to comb your hair.
-Thanks. - you sigh. Billy kisses your cheek, his mustache tickling your skin deliciously.
-Still studying?
You follow his gaze, looking down at the open notebook beside you, where snippets of Shakespeare's words mingle with your own scribbles. You tell him you saw the Romeo and Juliet movie adaptation in English literature earlier in the day, and you found it kind of boring.
You stare at nothing, feeling lulled by his gentle touch. -I just don't think this version is really good.
Billy doesnโt answer, kissing your cheek repeatedly.
-Like, I was literally falling asleep.
He just hums, his lips trailing on your neck as his hands find the bare skin of your belly under the nightgown. Your brush is long fine, abandoned in the floor beside you. He is not listening to you at all, you notice, as you feel them slowly rise to your breasts.
-Billy. - you scold him in a whisper. -My parents are in the next room.
-They're asleep. - he points out to you, cupping your breasts in his hands.
You sigh when he runs his thumbs over your nipples, and bites your earlobe, and you feel the heat expand in your lower abdomen. -They could hear us.
-Not if you stay quiet. - his other hand reaches down between your legs, grazing the slit above your panties. A shiver runs down your spine. His low voice vibrates against your ear. -C'mon, pretty girl. You know you want it. Been waiting to touch you all day.
And to prove his point, he moves your panties to the side. You are actually already wet. It doesn't take much, being in close physical contact with Billy does that to you. All it takes is for him to press a kiss on your neck, for his voice to brush your ear, for his hands to squeeze your waist or draw circles on your lower belly, and a signal is sent straight to your core. You canโt lie, itโs hard to see him passing by in the schoolโs hallways and not being able to touch him. The private looks that he gives you from far away, or the occasional wink as he sees you looking in the lunchroom or when you share gym classes together are enough to set you on fire.
Billy hisses a breath as his finger runs along your wet flesh. -Soakin' wet, babe.
You bite your lip, concluding that youโll surrender as you do every time to his temptations.
-I hate you. - you whisper as Billy lifts your nightgown until it's around your waist, spreads your thighs, and places his legs over yours, entwining them together, and you are now completely exposed to his mercy, and before the mirror.
-Mh. - he hums, almost chuckles. -Pretty sure it's the opposite.
You see him smiling slyly on the mirror, and you're about to respond in kind when his finger slides down your slit again, spreading your wetness over your sex.
-Mh, Billy... - you whisper dreamily, arching your back. His thick fingers begin massaging your clit slowly, applying just the right amount of pressure.
-Yeah, doll...always ready for me. - he plays with your nipple, his hot breath against your ear. -Such a pretty thing.
His voice, his touch, and his scent send you into a frenzy. You can't control your libido with him. You can't resist and turn your face away, kissing him. It is a slow, dirty kiss in the way you slide your tongue into his mouth. And Billy doesn't control himself either, responding so briskly that your head reclines backward under the pressure of his lips. You grasp the long curls at the nape of his neck, squeezing them between your fingers, losing yourself in him. A moan escapes your lips as he applies more pressure.
Billy pinches your clit in reprimand, almost making you jump. He breaks the kiss. He licks you lasciviously from lower lip to upper lip, his eyes hooded and close to yours. -Need to be quiet.
-Yes, sorry. - You whisper breathlessly. -Wait what are you... - you begin when he removes his hand from your sex. Then you realize when he taps your lips with his fingers.
-Suck it. - he commands. You wrap your lips around his two fingers, tasting yourself. -Yeah, just like that. - his voice is low and smooth like dripping honey. -Like you do with my cock, babe. Nice and deep.
He pulls out his fingers with a resounding 'pop,' slick with your saliva. When he comes back to rub you, you purse your lips to keep you from gasping. It's not long before youโre panting, on the edge of the precipice. You desperately want to get there but you also want it to never end. The way his hand grasps your breast possessively while the other massages you and his teeth nibble your skin drives you crazy.
-I want you inside me so bad. - you whimper above the wet sounds your sex makes.
-Yeah? - he whispers, slightly panting. Then tsks when you groan again. -You can't keep quiet now, imagine how bad it would be with my cock inside you.
You try not to look at your face in the mirror, but you can see how red your cheeks are. So you close your eyes, embarrassed. Billy doesn't like it. He pinches your clit again and you squeal.
-Open your eyes. - he growls.
You comply, and when you meet his dark gaze you can no longer hold back, your orgasm explodes and your hips buck against his touch, a moan escaping your lips.
He swallows your moan, sucking your tongue as his ministrations never stop, and you slowly open your eyes. You gasp as you feel his finger teasing your entrance, your sex overstimulated and sensitive.
-No. - you whine, retreating against his torso to get away from his fingers.
Billy laughs at your feeble attempt to avoid his touch, pink tongue darting out to lick his lower lip. Your wetness trickles down, making a mess on the hard floor beneath you.
-Cโmon babe. One more.
-I canโt. โ you shake your head as he slides his two fingers in you to the brim, bringing you closer to him at the same time by pushing you against him with the same hand, heel against your pubis. You suck a breath between your teeth at the sudden intrusion.
-You can do it, - he nips at your neck. -I know your pretty pussy can. Just one moreโฆ
Having his fingers inside you is almost too much, but when he starts moving them in and out of you, they slip easily, and somehow the flame in you is slowly rekindled again. Your hand grips his forearm as you adjust around him, digging your nails into his skin. You meet his icy blue eyes and thatโs all it takes to feel butterflies in your stomach. You canโt tell him no. Your whole body gives in and lights up again, you still canโt fathom how the hell he can keep your desire alive, how easily you can give it to him immediately after he brings you to your high, itโs a never ending roller coaster.
-See, - he breathes against your ear as he licks his upper lip, the squelching of your sex around his fingers is almost too loud for you, but you canโt help but look down between his legs, following his hooded gaze. -Fuckinโ made for me.
Youโre unbelievably red and swollen from the overstimulation and pleasure that is building again, your lower lips spread like a flower around him.
-This pussy is all for me, yeah?
-Yeah. โ you answer breathlessly, trying to keep your voice at bay. -All yours.
Then he applies pressure to the rough patch of skin inside you and your thighs quiver. You almost want to close them but theyโre blocked by the iron grip of his legs over yours.
His eyes are fixed in rapture on the mirror, looking at his fingers working roughly between your legs. They slide in and out of you obscenely, shiny with your wetness, him whispering filthy things in your ear.
-Oh my godโฆ - you whisper shakily as the pressure starts building beyond any limit.
-Gonna gush on my fingers, babe? โ he groans softly against your ear. -Think you can keep quiet?
You donโt get what he means, but a weird feeling starts building along with your pressure, very similar to when you need to pee, and you start panicking. His movements are now fast, his hand almost jerking as his fingers press continually inside you.
-Billy, no, wait. โ you try to pull at his forearm, these opposite sensations rising more and more inside you. -No, noโฆ
-Yeah, thatโs it. โ he growls, his breath ragged.ย
And before you can stop it, it just happens. Billy covers your mouth with his hand, his fingers unrelentless as your sex squelches and liquid comes out of you, wetting the floor and mixing with your wetness. You bite his hand stifling a loud moan, your thighs shake uncontrollably from the most powerful orgasm you ever experienced, while his fingers keep applying pressure. Your eyes roll on the back of your head. For a moment, youโre overcome by pure and primal sensations, everything else disappears.
-Fuck. โ Billy grunts. -Thatโs my good girl.
As you slowly come down from your high, you realize how much of a mess youโve just made. Your face heats up even more than it already is, embarrassing pulling at your insides.
Billy breathes out a laugh, his fingers still inside you. -Holy shit. That was something.
-Iโm sorry. โ you quickly say, unable to meet his gaze on the mirror. -Iโm so, so sorry. I didnโt mean toโฆ
-Hey, - he nudges your leg with his knee. -what are you sorry for?
-Well, for... โ you gesture at the mess between your legs, embarrassed to say the word. -This. For peeing on your hand.
Billy laughs, and you almost reprimand him for being loud. -You didnโt pee on my hand. You squirted, and it was fucking hot, let me tell ya.
You look at him in confusion, wincing as he retreats his fingers and brings them to his mouth. Your eyes widen in astonishment as he licks them clean.
-Whatโฆ
-Looks like I have to teach you one stuff or two. โ he nudges his nose against yours, his eyes glinting with amusement but still dilated with desire. And you suddenly become aware of his hardness hot and insisting on your lower back. -This is gonna be fun.
Heโd sneak into her room when he knew she was gone, even if it was for fleeting moments. The risk of getting caught always added an extra edge to him. Heโd sprawl out on Kimโs pretty bed and slowly push his pants down but by then he was already rock hard, the thought of having her walk in on him made his cock throb in anticipation. He had decided on a pair of white panties today as he wiped the part where her cunt would rest against his dripping tip.ย
He couldnโt help as he groaned, picturing that it was her dainty fingers instead of his own. He cupped her panties along his thick cock before he lazily began to stroke himself to the thought of her. His mind always wandered to different dirty thoughts about her. He always pictured her sitting between his knees, a gleeful look on her face as she bashfully moved her hand up and down the length of his cock. He liked thinking that she would be shocked at how big he was, that she would be grinding herself down against the mattress at the thought of his cock stretching her walls.
He huffed as he thrusted his hips up harder into his fist as he pictured her pouty lips stretching around his tip. He was throbbing against his hand as the image of fucking into her mouth became clearer to him. He thought of how good she would feel around his cock.ย
He came far too quickly, far too loudly as his hips stuttered up into his hand. He groaned, whining softly as he emptied himself into her panties. He breathed out roughly as his heart raced deep inside of his chest.
He tilted his head to the side, breathing in the scent of her against her pillow case. He licked his lips, trying to picture what she did in here all alone. He savored the image of her touching herself, thinking about how pretty sheโd look with her legs spread wide and her fingers knuckle deep inside of her tight cunt.ย
He quickly fixed himself in his pants as he moved towards the edge of her bed, wishing that he could explore the depths of her mattress with her. He licked his teeth, biting back his own smirk as he slid the cum soaked panties into her drawer. His eyes lingered against the other clothing, wondering how many times sheโd worn his mess against her skin and not even realized.
She made it difficult for him. He felt like he was always on edge, unable to fully relax when she was around. The worst part was that she never realized what she was doing to him. He breathed out, thinking of the tiny dresses and skirts that sheโd parade around in.ย
Dinner was brutal that night as she lounged against him. He still didnโt understand how she managed to be so close yet so far away at the same time. She always looked up at him with a bright gleam in her eye, like he was the biggest star she had ever seen. He wondered if she was just being nice or perhaps there was something else hidden far away.ย
Her bare thigh touched his skin again as she shifted herself in the chair. He glanced down between the two of them, noticing how small her flesh was compared to him. He found himself shifting in his chair this time as the image of her with her face forced onto the floor and her ass high in the air popped into his mind. He could feel his dick stirring in his pants, begging to be touched. He looked towards her, wondering if she could read the lust in his eyes by the way she shied away from his gaze. He loved how bashful she got. He wondered if sheโd be able to hold eye contact with him if his cock was inside of her.ย
He found himself growing more risky one night when he found himself sneaking into her room. He was sure he was insane, that he was losing his mind as he loomed at the edge of her bed. He kept waiting for her to wake up and scream at him, to kick him out. She never awoke, didnโt even flinch as he lifted the edge of her covers up. He nearly choked as he took in the panties he had jerked off into earlier peeking out from her nightgown.ย
He shifted the blankets up a little higher as she rested on her side. He breathed out roughly as he inched his hand across the mattress. It felt like miles until he reached her sleeping form. He was careful as he pulled her panties up a bit, just enough to stretch the material out before he moved his other hand towards her clothed cunt. He licked his lips as his fingertips brushed against her puffy pussy. He breathed in at how warm she felt against his fingers as he slowly pressed down harder.
His ears rang and his cock hardened as her moan filled the room. It was loud enough to freeze his movements as he was sure that he had been caught. He yanked his hand away quickly, his veins turning towards ice as he waited for her to start screaming. She reached around blinked, her back still facing him until she found the blankets and adjusted them. She sighed softly as he breathed in slowly, realizing that she had already drifted off to sleep.ย
He left soon after, too afraid that she would end up catching him if he stayed any longer. He jerked himself off hard and fast in his room next door, wishing that he could hear her pretty moans dancing from her lips.ย
He came in the next night too, cautiously resting against her on the mattress. She was facing him this time, resting on the opposite side from last night. It was risky, he knew that, but he couldnโt help himself. It was like his body was reacting on its own.ย
He slowly moved his hand towards her, picking it up gently and resting it against his own. His heart hammered roughly as he admired the size difference. He paused as he slid her fingers against hers until he was holding her hand. He savored the feeling of hers against his for a second before he drew their clamped hands up towards his chest.
He moved his hand around her wrist as he slowly moved her fingers down his chest. He breathed out as he withdrew her hand for a short second to pull himself out of his shorts. His cock was hard and dripping already as he took a hold of her hand again. He held onto the base of his cock with his free hand before he engulfed Kimโs dainty fingers around his thick cock. He liked how big he looked in comparison to her.ย
He bit his lip harshly, trying to keep from moaning too loudly. He wrapped his fingers around her own and squeezed them around his throbbing cock. He closed his eyes in bliss, thinking that she felt much better than he could ever imagine. His lips parted in awe as he slowly moved her hand up and down the length of his cock, knowing that he couldnโt be too rough with his movements in case she woke up.ย
His hips were moving up just as urgently, wishing that she was awake to squeeze his cock herself. His head hit her pillows as he slowly moved her hand along his cock, careful not to thrust against her hand too roughly.ย
He shuffled his body closer to her, glancing towards her sleeping features. HIs lips parted in bliss as he groaned softly against her lips. He wished he could kiss her, savor the taste of her against his tongue.ย
He was pulsing against her hand, his cock aching so harshly that he thought he may cry from the pleasure. He had a great urge to tighten her hand and move her hand harder along his cock, but wanted to savor the feeling of her soft skin all at the same time.ย
He felt his eyebrows knitting together in concentration as his hips began to jerk up a little rougher, his balls aching for the need to be touched. He thought about how pretty sheโd look with them in her mouth. He wondered if sheโd still look at him in such a dreamy state.
He bit down on his free hand as he came. Thick, white ropes of cum decorated his abdomen and her hand as his cock eventually stilled. He panted softly, his chest moving up and down rapidly as she continued to slumber next to him.ย
He removed her hand gently before he scooped up his globs of spunk as he turned towards her again. He felt slightly nervous as he moved some of it up to her lips, letting it smear there. He froze as her eyebrows knitted together, her lips pursing before she turned on her other side.ย
He wanted to touch her, to spread her hole and kiss and lick at her. He decided against it, wanting to pace himself for what was to come. She was too sweet, too good to use all at once. He wanted to savor her.ย
He came back the next night, and the night after. He kept coming back until it was engraved in his brain and became more of a habit than anything else. It felt wrong to not go in there, to not put her pretty hand around his cock and get himself off.ย
He was there again, but this time he needed more. He needed to see her, to feel her just a little bit more. He was becoming more reckless, sure that she wouldnโt ever wake up from anything that he did.ย
He slowly pulled the comforter off of her body, breathing out slowly as his heart pumped roughly inside of his chest. He watched for her smallest movements, making sure that she wouldnโt awaken from his touch. He sighed silently in relief when she didnโt budge. Her face was still turned against her pillow, squishing her cheek against the pillow as she continued her deep breaths.
He licked his bottom lip as his eyes raked over the goosebumps that hard formed on her pale skin. He breathed in the image of her in the moonlight as he cautiously brought his hands down against her milky thighs. He strangled back a groan as he felt her against his hands, realizing she felt better than he had imagined.ย
His fingertips slowly brushed against the hem of her nightgown as he gently lifted it over her thighs. He struggled for a second to get it over her backside but after a quick fight he was able to easily slide it up over her waist. He grinned at the pink panties that kept her pussy hidden away from him. He exhaled deeply as he breathed in her pale skin and the light pink freckles that were decorated across her tummy. He dipped his head down, breathing in her sweet scent before he pressed his lips just below her belly button. He froze, his bottom lip dragging along her skin as he glanced up towards her. She inhaled deeply between her lips before she furrowed her cheek deeper into the pillow.ย
He waited for a second before he continued to press his lips around her belly button. He liked how smooth and soft her skin was underneath his touch. He licked around her belly button, his hips gripping her sides as her chest shifted above him. He exhaled against her skin, blowing on it softly as more goosebumps arose on her skin. He sat up again, feeling a dire need to look at her tits. He shuffled her nightgown up higher, just high enough to expose her chest to him.
He groaned this time as his eyes wandered over her hard pink nipples and smooth skin. Her boobs were smaller yet perky as his hands wandered up further. It was harder to see at night, but he was sure it was the one area that wasnโt completely covered with freckles. He drew his hand up to lightly cup her chin before he pressed his fingertips across her lips. They were so pretty. She was so pretty.ย
He looked back between her legs, admiring the print on her panties as he pried her legs a little further apart. He leaned forward, just enough that he could inhale the scent of her. He groaned, not quite thinking as he brought his tongue out across her clothed cunt.
Her moan was loud and pretty, like music to his ears as his eyes snapped up towards her. He panicked for a moment, fearing that he had awoken her. He paused, ensuring that she was still sleeping before he brought his fingertips up towards the hem of her panties.
He spread them, pulling them far enough that he could see her pretty pink pussy. He felt his mouth watering at the image, his cock hardening in his briefs as he looked at the pretty red hair that decorated her skin. He almost wondered if she shaved from how thin it was, but then decided that she probably didnโt know that was a thing.ย
He closed his eyes as he dragged his tongue out across her folds, licking away her sweet slick. He felt like he was losing his mind, like this was some sort of dream as he continued to drag his tongue across her folds and against her swollen clit.ย
He began to grind his hips down into the mattress, listening to the soft sounds that left her lips as his tongue brushed across her fluttering hole. He licked inside, curling it as he felt her squeezing around her. He bet sheโd look so pretty full of his cock. He wanted to see what she looked like stretched around him.ย
He continued to drag his tongue across her puffy cunt. He sighed deeply as he let his fingertips drag across her pale skin. He wished she was awake to squeeze her thighs around his head and grasp at his hair.ย
He licked at her until her hips stalled and a loud whine left her mouth. He looked up at her, reassuring himself that she was still sleeping as he licked the taste of her away. He savored her slick as he settled himself on his knees. He jerked himself off this time as he observed her body, too turned on to try and use her hand this time.ย
It didnโt take long for him to cum. He was far too worked up and turned on to try and use her hand. He came hard and fast, struggling to stifle his own sounds of pleasure as he painted her cunt and tummy white. He smeared it in after, ensuring that he had been there before he fixed her nightgown and covered her back up.
He paused as he looked down at her, admiring her soft features and dainty nose. He hesitated before he leaned down and kissed the top of her forehead, breathing in her sweet scent before he was fleeing her room.ย
โThat movie was scary,โ Kim mumbled, taking him off guard as she appeared in the kitchen next to him the following night, โCan I lay with you for a while?โ She looked hopeful as she twisted her features together.ย
โYou want to lay with me?โ He felt his mouth run dry, his cheeks beginning to burn. He cleared his throat, unsure of why he was so nervous. Heโd had plenty of girls in his bed before, Kim wasnโt anything different. Itโs not like she would do anything with him anyways.ย
โMax always locks her door at night,โ Kim looked at him a little defeated, โIโm too afraid to sleep in my room on my own.โ She pouted her lips out, fluttering her eyelashes up towards him. His heart wasnโt the only thing that began to stir. He wasnโt sure how anyone could deny her when she looked like that.ย
โJust for a bit,โ He grumbled as he shakily lifted the can of beer up to his lips, โYour mom will freak out if she knows.โ He told her quickly, knowing that heโd be in even worse trouble if anyone else found out what heโd been doing.ย
Kim kept a close distance to him, following behind him with fear laced in her eyes. He felt a little bad, not really meaning to snap at her earlier. He didnโt want to be rude, but he also didnโt want her to suspect that he felt anything.ย
โIs this okay?โ She turned her head, looking over at him innocently like her ass wasnโt pressed right up against his dick. He nodded his head stiffly, breathing in harshly to keep his cock from stirring in his pants.ย
โYeah,โ He brushed her off, trying to think of anything else to keep himself from getting hard, โYouโre fine.โ He grumbled as he closed his eyes tightly. He wished that sheโd fall asleep quickly, or at least get up to leave.ย
Once he was sure she was asleep he couldnโt stop his hands from wandering. He gripped her soft waist before he moved further up, letting his large hands cup her perky tits. His lips dragged against her shoulder, stifling his own groan as he groped at her chest. He pressed his hips forward, his cock aching in his pajama pants as he slowly began to grind against her soft ass.ย
He sighed loudly, unable to help himself as his fingertips dug into her hips. He rolled his hips forward harder, wishing he knew what her cunt felt like around his cock. A soft moan left her lips, but he was sure she was still asleep as he began to rub her clit with his hand.
โBilly,โ Her voice startled him, making his movements freeze completely, โDonโt stop.โ She breathed out harshly, turning to look at him. His lips fell slack as he began to find an excuse, to search for something to explain himself.ย
She took him by surprise as she slowly began to grind ass back against his cock. She pressed her fingertips over his, pressing down harder as another moan left her lips. He watched her entranced, memorizing the way her features knitted together. He was sure he was dreaming.ย
He groaned as he continued to grind against her, enjoying the soft moans that pulled from her lips. She was too eager to roll her body back against his, looking just as feral as he felt. He knew he couldnโt handle coming in his pants. Not this time.
He pulled his hand away, ignoring the defeated look she sent him before he was pulling himself onto his knees. He quickly stripped from his pajamas, his cock bobbing against his abdomen from how hard he was. She watched him with wonder as he straddled her chest, her eyes wide as she looked at him. She sat up on her elbows.
โSpit on it,โ He said softly as he stroked himself in his hand. His cock was begging for more, urging to feel more of her around him, โCome on.โ He urged as he pressed his messy tip against her pouty lips. She reached a hand up hesitantly before she took his place, lazily beginning to stroke his dick.ย
โSpit on it?โ She looked up at him, a look of chastity ringing in her hazel eyes. He nodded his head, feeling a little desperate to keep her hands moving along his thick length. He could feel himself throbbing in her hand, begging to feel more of her.
โUh huh,โ He nodded harshly, slowly jerking his hips up to meet her languid movements. He grunted softly, watching the way she puckered her lips out and slowly dropped a wad of saliva along his tip, โGood girl.โ He breathed out, watching the way she messily moved her hand up and down the length of his cock.
Her cheeks burned, her eyes slightly widening from his compliment. She bit down on her bottom lip, her eyes filled with lust as he continued to move to the rhythm of her hand. He sighed lightly, grunting in awe as he throbbed in her hand.
โDoes it feel good?โ She asked hesitantly, like she really wasnโt sure what his answer would be. She obviously wasnโt very experienced, but none of that mattered to Billy. All that he cared about was that it was her.ย
โYeah,โ He breathed out harshly, groaning as he thrusted his hips forward against her dainty hand. He knitted his eyebrows together, looking down at her pretty skin and the way her nipples poked out against her nightgown, โYouโre so hot.โ He groaned as he brought his large hand on top of hers.ย
He squeezed his hand over her own, pumping furiously as his cock ached against her palm. He grunted, unable to help himself as his hips began to snap forward roughly. It felt too good to make himself stop. He was too afraid that sheโd change her mind the closer he got.ย
โCan I cum on your tits?โ He spit out harshly, feeling like he was seconds away from blowing his load regardless of what her answer was. She nodded her head, still bearing a hazy look in her eyes as she looked up at him innocently, โHold them together.โ He begged, his tone cracking from how desperate he sounded.ย
He cursed as he came, his hips stalling as thick globs of liquid coated over her pale white breasts, up her slender neck and next to her pouty lips. His grunts came out louder than usual, his eyebrows knitted tightly together as he took in her stunned expression. Her shoulders were moving softly, taking in slow breaths as she watched him innocently.ย
โWas that-,โ She darted her tongue out, looking like she was going to lick the corner of her mouth before she quickly stopped. He groaned, desperately wanting to see her swallow his cum, โWas that good?โ He moved his hands up to cup at her flushed skin, admiring how warm her cheeks felt against his palms.ย
โVery good,โ He mumbled softly as he brought his fingertip up to the corner of her lips and pushed his spunk inside of her mouth. He groaned, watching the way she innocently tasted it, โYouโre such a good girl, such a good little sister.โ

Chapter I - The Queen
10/18/2002 - Hawkins, Indiana...
Liquorwise
Chrissy Cunningham's POV:
"What do you want, Cunningham?" Jason breathes; glancing over your shoulder as you eye the liquor aisle.
"Malibu." He shudders in reply, giving you a side-eye. "You asked, Jase."
"Well, I'm gettin' beer." He slaps your ass before walking away, shooting you a wink.
Nothing... I feel nothing. I thought it would be different; the both of us being apart for so long, coming back together for the weekend. Some grand reunion of sorts. So far from reality. It's impossible to believe that Jason Carver could be a bigger dick than he already was... Maybe it's Greek life; maybe it's the newfound freedom, no longer under mommy and daddy's thumbs, allowing him to flourish to peak douchebaggery.
We'll see how this weekend goes. Maybe when I go back to Ohio I can just tell him this long-distance thing isn't for me. Find someone new... That wouldn't be the worst thing.
UV Blue or Malibu? How am I going to stuff this into my purse anyway? You look down into your handbag, assessing the space. "Just get a 375, babe," Carol sings, "they're behind the counter." She pulls you in for a side hug, resting her head on your shoulder. "Fuck. I missed you, Chriss. Have I said that enough?"
"I missed you too, babe," you sigh. "You smell good."
"Love Spell."
"Mmm," you hum. "I'm excited for you to come to Ohio State."
"Me too, Chriss. It's gonna be a blast. Roommates, baby. You're gonna hate me by the end of the year I can feel it."
"Impossible," you giggle.
"Carol. Where you at, baby?" Tommy meets her gaze, giving her a sweet smile. "I'm buyin'. C'mon." She struts away; brown curls bouncing as she shimmies her blue Juicy track pants a little lower on her hips; just a glimpse of her pink lace thong and a lower back tattoo.
You shake your head and smile, as you draw your purse closed. A few bottles clink, catching your attention.
Your heart skips as you see a familiar gaze, gaping at you through the line of colorful liquor bottles. Eddie Munson. Holy shit... You give him a soft smile; the phone vibrates a moment later.
He gives you a playful wink and a nod, solidifying the obvious; making your heart beat a little faster. I shouldn't look. He's like my kryptonite; a fuckin' magnet, pulling me in every time I'm back in Hawkins.
Jason and I were on a break last summer... Three days. Enough time for Eddie to swoop in, just for the night. I haven't forgotten it. I haven't had anything that good since. Eddie's, skilled fingers pleased me in ways I couldn't mimic... And trust me. I tried.
Why does he have to be so pretty?
He walks past the aisle, his body now visible throwing you off slightly; his normal Hellfire shirt and black Levi's exchanged for a tattered clown costume. "Fitting," Jason cuts; his jaw clenching as he looks at him. Eddie scoffs and chuckles, breathily; shaking his head as he steps to the counter.
Your eyes track him, hearing his conversation with the clerk. That voice... You feel a heat spread across your body. He points up to the shelf, getting a small bottle of Black Velvet whiskey and a pack of smokes to go with his case of PBR.
"Let's wait 'til the trash leaves," Jason grumbles, swathing his arms lazily around your waist.
"Why are you being such a dick, Jason? We aren't in High School anymore," you sigh, nudging your way out of his arms; walking toward the till.
You look out into the dim Hawkins evening, watching Eddie's face glow in the light of his flame, sucking his cigarette as he shuffles to his van. Where's his van? Damn... You purse your lips, drawing them to the side; holding back your little smile as you watch him mount his black motorcycle.
Maybe I should just see what he said?
You reach for your phone, snatching it from your pocket; stuffing it back inside as you feel Jason press up against you, handing over his beer and a wad of cash.
"Thanks, Jase," you whisper.
"Of course, princess."
You breathe deeply, fighting off the memories of those words leaving Eddie's lips. No use. You glance out into the parking lot, scouring for his bike; his spot, taken by another.
Why do I care?
I do care... A lot.
The four of you make your way to Jason's Jeep, Tommy and Carol climb in the backseat, immediately pawing at each other as you lean your head against the headrest, shutting your eyes.
I wonder where Eddie's going...
"What's wrong, babe?" Jason's voice shakes you from your thoughts.
"Nothing." You open your sights, smiling softly in his direction, doing your best to mask your feelings.
"Is this about Munson?"
"Seriously, Jason?" You groan; crossing your arms, gaze falling toward the window.
"Someone's jealous," Tommy taunts from the backseat, making Jason glare at him through the rearview mirror.
"Fuck you. I'm not jealous of some fuckin' super senior dressed as a clown," he hisses; his expression darkening as he challenges Tommy to mention him again.
"He graduated, dipshit. And, I heard he's packin'," Carol laughs as she smacks her gum obnoxiously. "This big," she gossips; holding out her hands in an attempt to show just how big the rumors suggested.
Not helping, Carol.
"Yeah... Sure." Jason scoffs in disbelief as Tommy pinches Carol's side playfully, making her squeal.
"Can we just talk about something else? Literally anything else," you snip, your tone coming out a little harsher than expected.
"But it's funny..." Tommy bullies; pushing Jason even further. "Carver bein' jealous of the freak and all..." You glance over and see Jason's face turning a deep shade of red; hands, digging into the steering wheel.
"You're a dick. And if anyone should be jealous, it should be you, Tommy. Shrimp dick Hagan? Isn't that right, Carol?" Jason winks back at her making you roll your eyes.
"I'm a grower, not a shower. And, you're neither. So..." Tommy snickers.
Jason slams on the brakes, propelling the duo forward; bodies smacking into the backs of your seats.
"Jesus fuck, Carver!" Tommy yelps. Jason chuckles to himself, loosening in his seat slightly.
"No fucking way!" Jason gripes as you fall in line, slowing to a crawl; a string of break lights glowing ahead, drifting into Jones Family Farm.
You glance out the window, excitement building as you see Eddie's motorcycle parked on the side of the gravel road. You watch as he steps off, plucking a cigarette from his carton; plopping it between his lips.
"There's the freak now," Jason burns. He honks his horn loudly, making Eddie jump. Eddie glares your way, eyes zeroing in on Jason; flipping him the bird. "What a joke," Jason clips, rolling his window down and sticking his head out as Eddie turns away, walking in the opposite direction.
"You followin' us, Munson?" Jason hollers, making Eddie stop in his tracks.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Eddie retorts; a cool smile on his lips, seemingly unbothered by Jason and his antics.
"Let's just have fun. Alright?" You sigh; eyes, begging Jason to drop it.
"You two are killin' the vibe," Carol mumbles. "Mostly you, Carver. You on your period or what?" She spits through a cruel laugh.
"You're pretty funny, baby," Tommy chuckles; leading her out of the car. The door slams shut behind them, leaving you and Jason behind.
His jaw coils, fingers threading around the steering wheel once more. He stares ahead, looking out into the crowd of people, Adam's apple bobbing as he swallows harshly.
"You don't think I don't see the way you look at him, Chriss. I do... I always have."
"Munson?" You whisper, weakly. "Jase... He means nothing to me. He's just a friend. Only a friend. I wouldn't even call him that really."
"Promise?" He asks, hastily; his eyes softening as he looks at you.
"I promise..."
Jason nods; face, still pensive. You can tell he's completely unconvinced. It doesn't really matter... He knows that you'd never end up with Eddie regardless.
"I love you, Chrissy," he breathes.
"Love you," you push the words past your lips, giving him your best smile.
"Let's fuckin' go, Carver," Tommy calls out from the ticket line; his arms wrapped lazily around Carol's waist.
"You ready, baby?" Jason whispers.
"Ready, Jase." He swiftly steps out of the car, trotting around the front. Jason tugs the door open; helping you from your seat, weaving his fingers into yours. He draws them up to his lips, kissing the top. His blue eyes sparkle in the low lighting.
"You look beautiful by the way, Chriss," he coos.
"Thank you."
A cool autumn breeze swirls; leaves, crunching under your boots as you walk toward the gate. There's a mob of people gathered at the front, an absolute mess; clambering to the entry.
He ushers the crowd, herding the masses with his partner, Officer Jones. A familiar face pushes through the horde.
"Hargrove! How are you, man?"
"Carver," Billy answers, simply; his low gruff tone matching his appearance as he walks away, ambling through the parking lot toward his Camaro. He looks a mess; a dirt-stained Jones Farms sweatshirt and his tight Levis, hugging his muscular thighs. He adjusts his hat, turning it backward, the same logo on top; his sandy blonde mullet poking out the sides.
"Does Hargrove work here?" Jason asks, confusedly. "I thought he went to San Diego State?" Billy seals the deal, stuffing a pair of weathered work gloves into his back pocket.
"Maybe he took a gap year?" You shrug.
"A gap year when you have a full ride at a D1 school? Please... Be real, Chriss. He probably fucked up or something," he snickers. "Runs in the family I guess."
You hear his motor start up; Billy, quickly peels out, kicking up rocks as he races toward the exit, disappearing into the night.
"Damn... This place never changes. Does it?" Carol sighs, happily; giving you a smile as she draws your attention back to the group.
"It doesn't." You look out into the sea of people. "I love this place, Care."
"Me too. We've been comin' here for what, eight years now?"
"Damn... I guess," you chuckle. "We should share that apple cider thing... Do you remember?"
"Mmm... Please."
"You give 'em five dollars back, dingus!"
"You don't need the calculator, Robin. Give it to me," Steve grumbles.
"It's basic math, Harrington. You don't need a calculator." The two quarrel.
"We're going for speed and efficiency, Robin," he sasses; drawing out each word as he matches her stare, looking back at her in disgust. "Do you see this line?"
Robin takes two fingers, sliding the calculator over as she rolls her eyes away. "You are going to school for education... You sure about that, Harrington?"
"I just have to be smarter than a Kindergartener, Buckley." He gives her a little scowl, quickly double-checking his math; handing the couple their change.
"Two tickets."
"Please," you smile, sweetly; adding a little kindness to Jason's demand.
"Hey, Chrissy," Robin greets you, nudging Steve as well. He gives you that Hawkins famous smile, making Jason suck his teeth.
"This a class reunion or what?" Jason asks, condescendingly. "You guys doing anything these days or are you still hangin' out in Hawkins?"
"We go to ISU... Workin' here on the weekends during the fall," Steve adds; unappreciative of Jason's tones, taking one of his own. "Robin just gave you your tickets, Carver. You can probably go."
Jason chuckles, more at them than anything. "Losers," he puffs; not man enough to look Steve in the eye as he delivers his last little dig. Steve widens his gaze, holding back his laugh.
"Well, it was nice seeing you Chriss," he softens his tone; giving you a gentle smile.
"You too, Steve."
You eye the line of people; wrapped around the corner, seeing some familiar faces amongst the large group. No Eddie... I only saw him for a second and he's already completely taken over my thoughts.
"What's the policy on leaving this shithole? You girls wanna stand in line? Hagan and I can pop a few beers in the parking lot or something. This is horrendous," Jason complains as you come to a stop, taking your place at the back of the line.
"It'll be fun, babe," you try; nudging him softly with your shoulder, trying to lighten the mood.
"Sure," Jason grunts as he pops the beer bottle open with his class ring, shifting his attention to Tommy; lofting one at him as well. "We'll just get wasted in line then."
"Good idea, Carver," Tommy smiles.
You take the free moment to slip your phone out of your pocket, checking Eddie's text from earlier.
You blush as you read his compliment, shifting your phone away from Jason and the others as you contemplate whether to respond or not. You bite your lip lightly as you text a quick reply.
You glance over at Jason; completely lost in his own world, ignoring you entirely as he talks to Tommy about Phi Kappa Psi. Bitching about his new pledges. Your phone trembles in your pocket almost instantly.
Oh shit... You smile dizzily as your mind wanders back to a few months ago when you drunk-dialed Eddie, feeling the urge to tell him about the tiny tattoo you just got after one too many Jell-O shots.
Okay. Shit... What's the plan? I'll just go to the bathroom. Run into someone along the way. Nancy maybe? See him... Wait.
"Umm... I'm going to get that apple cider thing. Save my spot?" You ask, Carol. "Want one?" Your voice is softened; just loud enough for her to hear, letting Carol do the hard work for you if Jason asks where you went.
"Hell yeah. Thanks, Chriss. You're too good to me."
"Be right back," you beam.
You step away, bleeding quickly into the crowd; falling out of sight almost instantly. Alright... You look over at the concession line; packed as well. Perfect.
Fuck. This will buy me at least twenty minutes. Enough time to say 'hi' at least. Maybe give him a hug...
Who am I kidding? I know exactly what I want.
You can't help the excitement building in your chest as you push open the door of the small storage building. The heavy metal slams shut behind you, leaving you in complete darkness.
"Shit... Eddie?" You whisper.
"You came," his low voice hits your ears from somewhere in the shadows.
"Of course I did," you reply, sheepishly; stepping closer, following in the direction of his voice. Your arms reach out in front of you as your eyes struggle to adjust to the unlit room.
"Um... Eddie? I can't see anything," you laugh, lightly; coming to a standstill as your toe hits something hard on the floor.
"Oh shit. Sorry, sweetheart," he chuckles; reaching up, tugging the small chain hanging from the ceiling. The bulb flickers, crackling a few times before stalling to a dim yellow.
You glance around seeing costumes hanging all around you, creepy masks strung on the wall; a trunk full of weapons covered in blood, and a small vanity with stage makeup scattered messily across the old wooden top.
"So, this is where you work?" You turn your head back in his direction, seeing his warm brown eyes already on you, making your stomach flutter.
"Yeah, just a little side gig for fall. I get to dress up and scare the shit out of every fucker I hate in this town. So, it works for me." He shrugs his shoulders, a wolfish grin plastered on his face.
"How the hell do you make a clown costume look that good?" You giggle; taking in his ensemble. His toned chest is exposed slightly; a loose-fitting button-up draped on his frame, patches of red and black sewn on top of the raggedy white material.
"I ask myself that question all the time," he laughs, weakly as his cheeks blush. You adjust the ruffly black, collar around his neck. Your eyes drift up to his; Eddie's breath hitching as yours align. The light casts a golden glow over his perfect features, his eyes glinting wildly; that same untamed spark burning bright in his dark stare.
If only I could have him. I know he would be everything I wanted. The complete opposite of Jason; kind and funny. And, so fucking hot. Eddie would treat me like a princess.
But I can't. I could never be with Eddie. Not like that.
He steps closer to you, his eyes roaming your body slowly as he takes in each curve.
"You look beautiful, Chriss," he whispers, using the same words Jason said earlier. It meant nothing when it came from his mouth; but, hearing the words fall from Eddie's lips made your body tingle all over.
Your eyes shut, as his fingers begin to trace up your arm lightly. He leans in close; lips, meeting your ear as his fingers switch direction, making their way back down your arm, stopping at the hem of your skirt.
"Eddie, wait..."
His eyes flick to yours, one hand still resting on your thigh.
"My tattoo... it's here," you whisper; unzipping the front of your denim skirt, pulling the fabric down enough to reveal the small butterfly peeking out from beneath the lace of your light pink panties.
A smile spreads on his lips as he leans down just a bit, tracing his thumb over the ink, sending warmth across your body.
"Chrissy Cunningham with a tattoo? Now I've seen it all..." He hums as he drops to his knees, looking up at you with a hunger in his eyes. "You're a bad girl, sweetheart. Aren't you?"
"Only for you, Eddie." You surprise yourself as the words flee your lips. You couldn't help it. Every part of you craving more from him. Wanting to know what it would be like to be with him fully. Just one time.
"Only for me?" He mumbles, lustfully; leaning closer, pressing his lips to the small tattoo, his tongue skims along your skin, causing your knees to buckle slightly. A dark chuckle leaves his lips.
"Y-Yes," you stutter as he grips the hem of your skirt, pushing it up above your waist.
"Did you miss me, Chrissy?" He murmurs; hands slipping in between your thighs, separating them slightly.
"Of course, Eddie. You're my friend," you sigh, coyly; looking down at his mess of curls as he guides your legs even further apart. Eddie snickers at your reply, his fingertips gradually inching up your inner thigh agonizingly slow.
"Just a friend?" He asks just as his fingers reach your warmth, causing you to inhale sharply. He adds a bit of pressure, teasing you through the thin material of your tights.
"You know I'm with Jason, Eds. We can't be more than friends," you whisper, breathily; the contact with him making you feel lightheaded.
"Really good friends?" He flirts as his fingers begin making small circles over your clit, causing your lashes to flutter.
"Really, really good friends, Eddie," you pant; pussy aching for his skin on yours.
"Chrissy?" Eddie mutters as his eyes flick back up toward you.
"Yes, Eds?"
"If you want me to stop, you need to say it now," he burns, his tone dark and delicious.
You shake your head adamantly. "Fuck, Eddie. Don't stop," you plead.
A wicked smirk appears on his beautiful face as he takes your tights in between his fingers, ripping the material slightly, leaving your panties the only thing keeping him from you.
"Eddie, please..." You whimper; feeling his warm breath against your soaked panties. He slips the damp lace to the side making you moan.
"Shh, baby. Don't worry. I'm gonna take care of you. But I wanna take my time," Eddie rasps, leaning closer, bringing his lips to your inner thigh.
"Don't you have to go to wo-" He silences you with his fingers brushing across your dripping slit, just enough pressure to drive you crazy, your pussy throbbing intensely. "Eddie," you whine.
"You want something, baby girl?" He continues gliding gently across your lips, your frustration growing with every second. I know he can be rough with me... I remember it vividly. Just fucking do it, Eddie.
"Please touch me."
"What about your boyfriend?" Eddie chuckles, devilishly; his finger continuing to torture your bud.
"I-I want you, Eddie," you admit, softly; cheeks flushing at the mention of Jason.
"Want me?" He questions as his digits begin a circular motion, toiling around your clit; making you whimper.
"Need you... Eddie, I need you!"
Eddie's eyes darken at your pathetic response, a delicious smirk pulling on his lips.
"Good answer, sweetheart." You let out a soft cry as he finally slips a thick finger into your warmth, the evidence of your excitement clear as Eddie glides in easily.
"Fuck, baby. How do you think Carver would feel knowing his girl is this wet for The Freak? Hmm?" Eddie digs, plunging his finger deeper into your soaked pussy making you gasp.
Your phone buzzes in your jacket pocket making Eddie pause momentarily.
"Speak of the devil..." He grumbles but you ignore him, reaching down; gripping his arm.
You tug on Eddie's wrist, regaining his attention. He follows your unspoken demand, slowly sinking his fingers back into your cunt. You wince slightly as he adds another; but, the pain adds to the pleasure that you're already so addicted.
"Shit... You gonna let me have you later, Cunningham?" He groans as you both listen to the sound of your slick.
"Faster," you cry.
Eddie hooks an arm around your waist, forcing you to remain at his pace, decreasing his speed instead as his eyes focus on watching your essence coat his fingers.
Fuck, he knows me better than I do.
He curls his fingers, rolling them in and out; in and out, each thrust making the knot in your stomach build. You clasp his shoulders tightly as you begin to rock your hips just a bit, making his digits sink knuckle-deep.
"Yes... I'm almost - Fuck, Eddie. I'm almost there," you whimper.
"Already?" Eddie smiles; gripping your thigh, slinging it over his shoulder before locking down on your clit, sucking and flicking; with enough tension to make you scream.
"Just... Just like that," you praise, breathily. Cradling his head in your hands, pulling him in closer as you pulse around his fingers.
He replaces his mouth with his thumb, smiling up at you; watching you carefully, pleasing you to the last possible moment. Letting up slightly when you soften around him.
"That was fuckin' beautiful, Chriss... Shit. You want more, darlin'?" He rasps.
"Please..."
"So fuckin' polite," he chuckles. Your phone buzzes again. "Someone really wants to get a hold of you, baby. You should probably take that. Yeah?" He says, calmly; a small grin on his face.
"No, I don't think-"
"Take. It." He demands, cutting you short.
"Eddie..."
"I won't make a sound. Scouts honor." He winks up at you, making you smile.
"Promise?"
"I swear."
You pull the phone from your pocket, seeing Jason's name on the screen; hurriedly bringing it to your ear. "Hey, Jase."
"Where are you? You've been gone forever." His voice crackles through the phone; cell service, weakened in the shed.
"Sorry, I ran-" You stop suddenly as you feel Eddie's fingers enter you again.
Shit.
"Chriss? You there?"
"Mhmm.. Sorry. I was just saying I ran into Nancy." You push the words out, doing your best to remain calm as Eddie curls his digits again, stroking across your g spot.
"Wheeler?"
"Mmm... Mhmm."
"Well, you haven't missed much. The line's still backed up a mile. Tell Nance I say 'hey'," he continues, completely oblivious to the pleasure felt on the other end of the line.
"Yeah. Of course. I gotta... Oh!" You gasp as Eddie's tongue flashes across your clit; fumbling your device as you struggle to hang up the phone. CLICK. "Fuck!" You rake your nails through Eddie's curls, tugging them in frustration; causing him to moan. "You said you'd be quiet," you huff, lightly; glaring down at him.
He chuckles playfully, an adorable grin plastered on his kiss-swollen lips. "I said I wouldn't make a sound. I didn't say anything about you, Chriss."
"You're impossible, Eds," you sough, reaching down and running your thumb over his plump bottom lip.
"Sorry 'bout your tights," he sighs; not sorry in the slightest as his calloused finger greets your inner thigh, right along the tear. He leans in slowly kissing your skin; eyes, locked on yours.
"You're not..."
"Fuck. You're right," he chuckles, breathily; quickly burying his face between your thighs.
You moan as he begins to pick up speed. The forceful thrusts of his hand are audible as his palm smacks against your pussy, his fingers slamming deep inside over and over again.
Your sounds crescendo, praise; pouring from your lips as your cunt clenches around his ringed fingers. Eddie knows you're close, adding his thumb as well, rubbing side to side; making your thighs quake.
"Fuck, Eddie!"
"Don't cum until I say," he orders.
"But I-"
"God, you're so wet," he cuts in; watching in adoration as his fingers pound into you. "The Queen of Hawkins screaming my name. Begging me to let her cum. And, I've gotten to hear it twice. " he chuckles, laboriously. "Fuck, Chriss. It's a dream come true."
Your back begins to arch suddenly, causing you to stumble backward; hitting the wall. Eddie doesn't stop; fingers working at an insane pace making you squeal.
"I'm so close... Eddie. I can't..." You mumble, drunkenly; feeling a pleasure you've never felt before. He's so rough; but, so tender at the same time; his hands, like magic as he hits all the right spots, driving you wild.
"Has Jason ever made you cum, sweetheart?" He matches your gaze with his dark, hooded eyes; a look on his face telling you he already knows the answer. He raises an eyebrow, slowing his pace slightly; threatening to stop.
"No..." You answer, feebly.
He lets out a gravelly laugh, rolling his eyes. "Thought so."
"Please let me cum, baby," you cry as your eyes struggle to remain open.
"Baby? Well, fuck me..." He moans. "I could get used to that."
"Shit," you hiss.
"Look at me." Your gaze locks on his; Eddie's brown eyes blown with lust. "So Jason's never made you feel this good?" Eddie taunts.
"Eddie..." You breathe.
"Has he?" In a twisted way, his words push you even closer to your breaking point. "Tell me who makes you feel good, sweetheart," he hums, lustfully. You glance down, keeping your eyes set on his as you fight against your orgasm, your body nearly betraying you with every rut.
"You do, Eddie. You do," you moan.
"That's right, sweetheart... Mmm... Cum for me, Princess," he drawls; watching as you fall apart. Your pussy clamps down around his fingers, spasming again and again as your mouth falls slack.
"Eddie," his name flows, languidly from your lips as your head falls back. He doesn't stop, continuing to fuck into you as you ride the waves of your orgasm. "Oh, s-shit..." You look between your thighs, watching as you soak his hand.
"Good girl. Good fuckin' girl," Eddie grunts; his lips parted, taking pleasure in your own.
He slowly removes his digits, making you gasp; drawing his middle and pointer fingers to his rosy lips, tasting you slowly. "So fuckin' sweet," he whispers; looming over you before kissing your forehead.
His lips move from your cheek onto your neck, brushing gently along your skin as your breathing slows.
"Eddie, kiss me." The urgency in your breathy tone is undeniable. "We're running out of time."
You can feel him smile against your neck before his soft lips meet your skin again. Eddie's kisses are gentle and warm, dismissing your requests yet again as he maintains his cadence, moving along your jaw, finally landing on your lips.
"I said 'I wanted to take my time', Chriss."
His lips capture yours in a passionate kiss. You cling to the tattered material of his costume, gripping the fabric; pulling him closer as your tongues roll together. The two of you pant into your kiss as Eddie pins you against the cool wooden wall.
"I want you, Eds. Please," you mumble against his lips as your hand wanders down, groping his clothed cock, groaning desperately as you feel his size. "Let me make you feel good. Please."
Eddie pulls away, making your eyes narrow in confusion.
"Not now. Tonight. I'm coming over."
"B-But we have time," you whisper, needily; as you stroke him through his slacks, pulling a deep moan from Eddie. "Jason said the line was super long and-" He reaches out, gripping your jaw in his hand, demanding your attention.
"I'm in charge, Chrissy."
You suck in a breath; surprised by his tone, making it that much harder to wait.
"Fuck, Eddie. You're in charge."
A smile spreads across his lips, as his eyes look down at yours.
"Tonight?" You whisper Eddie's captivating eyes flick up to yours, drawing you in deeper.
"Tonight, sweetheart."
ย Chapter II - The Last Laugh
Chrissy Cunningham's POV:
"Nothin' like waiting an hour in line," Jason scoffs. "This better be good."
"Stop being such a bitch, Carver," Carol sighs as she takes Tommy's hand, stepping into the wagon.
"Should we go in the back?" Jason asks.
"Mhmm," you smile. "It's the best place to sit."
The tractor fires up, rattling the buggy as your excitement starts to build. Jason wraps his arm around your waist, towing you closer. He buries himself in your neck, kissing you softly before drawing back.
"New perfume?"
You give him a little smile and a nod, trying your best to remain calm. Jason, so clearly picking up hints of Eddie's cologne. You grab the fabric, giving it a smell yourself, taking him in. I didn't think I missed him this much.
"Love Spell," you smile.
"Welcome to Jones Family Farm. You are about to embark on the Cursed Grounds Hayride and Haunted House. Please make sure you remain in the wagon and keep your arms and legs inside at all times. Please do not touch our Scare Actors and Actresses," the tractor driver shouts over his motor before stepping on the gas.
You're pulled forward as the ride begins, conversation and excitement brewing around you. "Oh, and the hayride is fifteen minutes in length. If there is a medical emergency, please tell me, and we'll get you some assistance. We will end at the Cursed Grounds Haunted House. Once you go through the haunted house, you will exit at the Jones Family Farm Gift Shop. Thank you for coming out and spending your evening with us. And enjoy the ride."
Jason turns toward you, the warmth of his whisper hitting your chilled skin. "Are you comin' over tonight?"
"I don't think I can, Jase... I have to be at the airport by 4 a.m."
"Well, shit," he huffs. "Maybe I can sneak in." His hand glides between your thighs, dangerously close to the tear.
"Yeah. Can we talk about it later?"
Jason furrows his brows, looking back at you confusedly. "Are we okay? Why don't you wanna hang out with me," he asks, defensively.
"I do," you assure. "It's already 10. And, I can't really do anything... Or, at least you wouldn't want to," you lie.
His eyes widen, as he puts the pieces together, wincing slightly in disgust. "Yeah, Chriss. Get some sleep," he chuckles.
Unbelievable. You can't help but roll your eyes. The simple mention of period sex and he's off my ass... What a man. Eddie wouldn't care. We'd probably take a shower together... A little smirk plays on your lips as you daydream about the thought of it; Eddie's tight body and deep brown curls glistening with water. He'd show me his tattoos... BUZZ.
You feel your phone vibrate in your pocket, instantly giving you the butterflies. Pulling it out you eye the message, sneaking a peek.
Feedback crackles through the speakers; a low, ominous voice setting the scene as the wagon crawls slowly toward the woods.
"If you've made it this far, welcome. You surely won't return," the voice laughs, viciously. You smile even brighter hearing the spiel you've heard more than a dozen times. Carol looks over at you, reciting the words. "These woods were once a beautiful place. A place of gathering and new life. Now, for most, the end of the line. A dark curse was placed on these grounds. Every October, evil runs free; ghosts, ghouls, and horrific creatures of all kinds take refuge in these woods. If you pass these trees, you are venturing onto cursed grounds. Run while you can." The audio cuts away.
You pass the threshold between the field and the woods. The dull music playing from afar now surrounds you on all sides, competing with the roar of the tractor. Little lights strung from the trees carve out a path in the woods, giving you just enough light to see the route in front of you.
Your heart beats a little faster as you wait for the first scare. Sure, there are little stops along; a different dreadful theme each time; but, there are always people hiding, lurking about, trying their best to make you scream.
"Fuck!" You squeak; falling into Jason slightly as the first monster appears; a werewolf with piercing yellow eyes, in a threadbare flannel shirt. He snarls, his mask allowing him to move his jaw and bear teeth as he swipes his large paw before falling back into the woods.
You giggle nervously, situating yourself on the hay-padded seat again; peering out into the timber to see if there's anyone else waiting for a fright. It's extremely dark, the dense forest blending together making it impossible to see anything else.
Your attention shifts to the tune swelling ahead, building as you move closer; the Halloween theme, simple and haunting. The tractor wads to a stop, cutting off the engine.
There's a white faรงade of a home, all the lights lit brightly. The wind billows the yellow cotton curtains; peaceful for a moment. Your stomach sinks as you hear a blood-curdling scream coming from inside. All eyes turn to the top floor, watching as Michael stabs his victim again and again.
Moments later he kicks open the door; standing in the frame as smoke pours out from behind him. The tractor starts again, dragging the wagon down the path as he descends the stairs slowly, stalking your party.
"Shit," you hiss; hiding behind your hands, caught off-guard by the shrieking of a nun. Her red bloody eyes stare deeply into yours. She draws out a large crucifix, sharpened at the end; driving it into a hay bale, close enough to a guest to make her cry before fleeing back into the woods.
The next melody plays ahead; a haunted circus. Eddie... You fluff your hair and move yourself a little further away from Jason as the tractor hauls you closer. You pass under the sign Last Laugh Circus lit colorfully overhead; a few bulbs flickering out.
There's a rickety carousel with four horses, creaking as it turns slowly. The four clowns' heads shift gradually, following your cart as you drive by. One slides the blade of her bloody knife along the handlebar, sounding like nails on a chalkboard.
A haunted ringmaster runs out of the tattered circus tent, face painted in fury. "Don't let them get away!" She bellows; her voice, echoing through the night. The clowns leap from the ride, scaling the wooden sides; pulling on guests.
You feel two strong hands wrap around your throat, making you draw a breath; feeling the familiar chill against your skin, just enough pressure to let you know who has you in their clutches. "Hi, Sweetheart," he whispers, setting all your nerves ablaze.
"Fuck off, man!" Jason plows him off. Eddie doesn't miss a beat; stepping down from the cart lazily as he slips his hand into his pocket; phone glowing brightly, quickly shoving it back in his pocket.
Buzz.
You feel your phone vibrate yet again.
"Prick," Jason grumbles. Crossing his arms tightly across his chest. "What the fuck was that?" He scoffs. "Do they always get to touch you like that? We should say something?"
"Jase, stop," you grumble. "They always do that stuff." He rolls his eyes away, looking dead ahead.
"Pretty sure that was Munson. Jackass... He always wears those stupid fuckin' rings. Who the fuck does he think he is anyway?" He pouts.
"I don't think it was him... Will you stop? Why are you ruining this, Jase?"
"Sorry, Chriss," he draws breath; weaving his fingers into yours, giving your hand a tight squeeze. "I'm not jealous at all... Just want to make that crystal fuckin' clear."
Sure. "Mhmm," you smile; giving him a little nod. Jason looks away, staring into the wood; playing guard dog in case Eddie tries anything else. Not jealous at all...
You sneak a peek at your phone.
Jesus Christ...
Dreamlike music blares over the speakers; a thick fog rolling all around. "Maybe I can still come over tonight. Cuddle or something?" Jason asks.
"What?" You reply; evading his question. "I can't hear," you mouth; quickly swerving his further advances.
There's a teen girl with golden blonde hair and a white silk nightgown, tucked into her flouncy pink bedding. The lights around her shift from white to red, the music changing along with it as she drifts into a nightmare.
You see a gloved hand reaching up from behind the wooden headboard; five razors at the tip of each finger. Freddy Krueger.
His hands wrap around the frame, peering over maniacally. Freddy slashes across the comforter, making the girl scream in terror.
Monsters of all kinds come out from underneath the bed, sprinting toward the cart. Ghosts and ghouls, demons and zombies. A chainsaw buzzes; thundering in your chest. He thrusts his saw forward, making you fall back in your seat. Carol hugs you tight, tucking her face into your chest as she screams.
"Uh oh," Tommy laughs.
You look over at Jason; watching as an actor draws his blade; grabbing a fist full of Jason's hair before running the knife along his neck. The three of you scream and laugh; looking around for the rest of the monsters.
"Chr-" Jason lets out a gurgly noise. You glance back at him, matching his wide eyes; stomach twisting as you see the horror on his face. A set of hands take a grip on the shoulders of his letter jacket, ripping him from the cart, and onto the ground.
"Jason!" You yelp; diving over to the edge, looking down into the thick pool of smoke. The fog is too dense to make out anything on the floor.
There's no fucking way he would be playing along with any of this.
"Stop!" You scream. The rest of the wagon looks back at you, returning their attention to the terror around them as you look down into the mass of vapor. "Jason? Jason!"
"Jason, come on. This isn't funny anymore." Tommy shouts, standing up in the cart; looking over your shoulder onto the ground; aiming to get a better view.
"Ugh... Fucking Carver. Always gotta be the center of attention," Carol snips, glancing down at her perfectly polished nails.
The ghoul surfaces from the fog, drawing the knife above his head. He stabs into the earth again and again. Blood flicks from his blade, splattering his white-faced mask.
"Hey fucktard, let him up!" Tommy booms at the actor, causing his head to whip around; white mask, glowing. A set of eyes glare at you; pupils too dilated to make out a hue.
You watch carefully as he stands up, wielding the knife in his fist. Blood drips as he dangles it by his side.
You start to feel your panic set in.
"It's just part of the act. Tommy's right. Jason is just trying to add a little extra flair... Right? RIGHT!"
"Show's over, come on man." Tommy grunts. The ghoul stands staring at Tommy for a moment before turning in your direction, the silver knife glinting under the moon.
He drives it into the person next to you, the tip of that same blade; peeking out of the chest of the old man's flannel shirt. Blood drips thick, the knife pulling back slowly.
His wife is frozen in fear; the rest of the guests screaming in horror, fleeing the wagon in every direction.
A single word flies from Tommy's lips, booming into the night.
" Run !"
Your eyes cut to Tommy then back to the killer, watching as he twirls the knife in his fingers.
"Jason!" You scream one more time, your mind refusing to accept the reality of the situation as Carol pulls you back. "We can't just leave him. He can't be dead. We can't see him, Tommy! We can't just-"
"Chrissy, c'mon," Tommy begs; grabbing Carol's arm, jerking her away. The two of them flee; leaving you behind.
"Wait!" You tear through the woods, following close behind; feeling the mud squish beneath your Uggs as you race towards the exit. Sticks fracture beneath you; branches whipping you as you run as fast as your feet will go.
People and actors sprint by, some still in their costumes; making it that much harder to determine who's who.
The only way out is through the woods or the haunted house. The woods lead to the parking lot. The haunted house leads to the gift shop; police, people... The nature of it posing risks all of its own.
The woods... There's not even a gate. We can run right to the Jeep. Your lungs burn as you run harder and faster than you ever have, trying your best to keep up with Tommy and Carol.
"Wait... No!" You scream as they head toward the haunted house. "Shouldn't we go through the woods?"
"No!" Tommy spits. "Are you serious? There's no one over there, Chrissy. Look at all those fucking people." He points to the clearing in the cornfield. The haunted house shone brightly in the distance, littered with people. He grabs Carol's hand, tugging her again as she looks back at you; tears glossing her cheeks.
"I love you, Chriss. I'm sorry," she blubbers.
People are still running through the woods to the parking lot, not enough... Only a few people actually know what happened. Your body trembles, lip quivering as you try your best to think of the right choice. They're right... Look at all those people. I don't want to be alone.
You hear an ominous laugh coming from behind you making your stomach sink; turning quickly you look out into the woods.
Emptiness... Darkness...
"Carol!" You call out. She stops in her tracks, fighting against Tommy as he continues to pull her to safety. "Wait! Please."
"Keep going!" Tommy grunts.
"Stop, Tommy. Fuck!" Carol hisses; the two waiting just until you are in arm's reach before taking off again.
The world around you lightens as you run closer and closer to security.
The three of you press into the crowd. Screams echo around you, bodies pushing and shoving a mix of people aware and unaware of the slayings; some enjoying the night, some attempting to escape the nightmare behind them.
Your foot slips out from beneath you, plunging you face-first into the crowd, tasting the dirt in your mouth as you scramble to get back on your feet. You watch helplessly as the two pass through the door without you.
"Carol!" You shriek at the top of your lungs. No. No. No! They're already gone. Tears flood your cheeks as you sprint toward the building; shouldering your way through the crowd, stumbling through the door.
Your usual fright of the haunted house is completely overshadowed by the very real threat following behind you.
"Chrissy..." A chilling voice comes from someplace close. Too fucking close.
Your heart pounds in your chest as you cross the entry into the house. Strobe lights instantly blind you. A thick fog hangs heavy in the air as your eyes dart around the room. You hear creepy music playing as you spin about, frantically searching for someone, anyone.
"Help! Somebody help me!" You wail into the void as you misstep across the wooden floor. A track of high-pitched screams and cries plays along with the music, filling the air as you rush to make it through the smoke-filled room.
Your vision is blurred by the murky fog, impeding your visibility. You run your fingers along the wall, scouring for a way out; feeling your heart nearly bursting out of your chest as you finally reach the doorframe.
Shit. It's a tight squeeze, your claustrophobia at an all-time high as the dim hallway appears to shrink with every step you take.
"Fuck!" you wail as a skeleton drops from the rafters, dangling in front of you. You plow through the bones, shoving them to the side as you take off running once again. "Carol! Tommy!"
You hear laughter ahead along with a few screams; innocent screams. You can tell it's not the soundtrack, they're real. Yes.
You bound toward them, snaking through the maze; dodging ghouls and monsters, as they grab and swipe at you.
"Help! Please help me!" You plead. The tween girls hoot and laugh; scampering in the wrong direction. No. You race ahead, following the glowing arrows to the exit.
"Chrissy..." You hear the voice again, just as your feet land on a softer material.
Shit. Your feet begin to fall into the ground, as the quicksand floor pulls you in, usually one of your favorite parts now slowing you down; practically hand-feeding you to the killer.
"Carol! Tommy... Please," you weep as you work against the odds; your feet sludging on, calling out for your friend.
"Poor thing..."
Your body freezes completely as you feel the hot breath against your neck. Your throat constricts, robbing your lungs of oxygen.
You feel him behind you, the cool plastic of the mask nudged against your cheek; chest, butted up against your back.
"P-Please don't hurt me," you stammer.
"I'm not gonna hurt you. I just wanna play a game," the masked man taunts in a mechanical voice.
"What? What game?" you sob; your breathing coming out in small spurts as your lungs reach for air.
"Ever heard of cat and mouse, Chrissy?" He proceeds in a sinister tone. You feel the tip of his blade press into your lower back, nicking your skin; hissing out a cry.
"Yes," you whimper as you feel a warm trail of blood run down your skin.
"Run little mouse," he growls; shoving you across the last few feet of the floor, your hands hit solid ground allowing you to stand up.
A new room opens in front of you. A body lies in an old casket in the corner of the room, swaddled in a ragged cloth; a few dolls, positioned on a shelf on the wall, motorized devices making their heads turn, following your every move.
You scramble to the opposite side, lying low, ducking behind a tall hooded figure, attempting to keep your breathing silent as your chest heaves violently. You hear his footsteps enter the space, stomping across the floor, heading in the direction of the exit. He looks back in your direction, making time stand still.
The killer lowers his knife, disappearing around the corner.
BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ.
Shit... My phone. You shove your hand in your pocket, struggling with the device; watching in horror as it topples to the ground. Calling: Eddie Munson BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ. It trembles wildly against the hardwood floor; glowing like a beacon. Fuck. You snatch it from the ground, accepting the call.
"Eddie?" You whisper.
"Chrissy! Where are you?" He panics. "Are you okay?"
You watch in terror as he walks back into the doorframe; the strobe lights flashing wildly behind him. You squeeze your eyes shut.
"Chrissy?"
CLICK.
The wood creaks beneath the weight of his boots as he steps closer and closer. You clasp your hands over your lips, holding back your sobs; tears, rolling over the back of your hands.
Please go away. Please just go away...
The footsteps come to a halt.
You force yourself to open your sights, instantly seeing two soulless, black eyes staring down at you. A gloved hand reaches out, wrapping tightly around your throat; lifting you effortlessly.
"Caught ya." Your mouth falls open with a blood-curdling scream and you feel a searing pain; his knife, stabbing into your stomach.
You inhale sharply, looking down as he yanks the blade out; taking your breath with it.
Bright red blood spews out onto the floor before gradually flaring onto the fabric of your jacket. You watch in a daze as the hot crimson spreads like ink. Your vision blurs as you reach down; fingers, drifting across your stomach; coating your hand easily.
Tears slip down your cheeks as everything starts to get a little duller; a little darker than before. Your knees buckle beneath you; body, crashing to the floor. You attempt to scream but nothing comes out; gurgling as blood pools in your mouth.
I'm going to die.
The masked man kneels over you, staring down at you; head tilting slightly as he watches you choke on your blood. You inhale, clamping your eyes shut as he lifts the knife, driving it into your chest again and again.
Your eyes fall shut, opening once more when you feel a harsh grip on your ankles. The monster drags you across the uneven floor. Your frail hands claw at the splintered wood with the little strength you have left. Slivers of the old lumber pierce into the skin beneath your nails, as your body scrapes across the ground, doing nothing to stop the inevitable.
He grabs a doll, throwing it down on the floor next to you; shattering the porcelain head. The killer lifts you into his arms, holding you before laying you down again. You feel a plush pillow under your head; raised wooden sides, boxing you in. The coffin.
Your lips refuse to move as you try to scream one last time. The heavy top slams shut leaving you in darkness; no pain, complete numbness as you take your final breath.ย
Summary: Watching a horror movie with Billy goes better than expected
Warnings: Cursing, Slight angst for a millisecond, Mentions of blood and gore (from the movie they watch), mentions of death (again from the movie). As always let me know if I missed something.

Author's note: Sorry this post came late loves! My son got sick so that was fun to take care of. But good news, because I slacked you guys get two chapters this weekend ๐ค
Also, as someone who also isn't a big horror fan, I watched this movie as homework and surprisingly, completely straight-faced this entire movie. Guess Billy's right, it was kind of cheesy ๐
Billy climbed his way to Jessโs bedroom with ease this time. With the knowledge that Jessโs parents were not directly below her, he took less care about whether or not he was silent and instead jumped quickly from the trash can to the last quoins, lifting himself over the gutters where he found himself once again in front of her draped covered window. He tapped the glass lightly and was immediately met by a still annoyed Jess opening the pane and quickly walking away. She was now wearing a faded cheer sweatshirt and a pair of cloth shorts. He looked over at the sickly green atrocity that held her TV just above her bed level, the VHS sitting on top of it. Her bed was littered with snacks, some from the store and some that she seemed to have provided herself, Billy taking note of the stack of brownies, which he hoped were as good as last time he snuck into her room.ย
She seemed to be pacing before he got there and was continuing to do so as he arrived. โPlease tell me youโre not serious about wanting to be here for Christmas.โย
โDoesnโt really look like thatโs up to me. What? You donโt want me over? Whereโs your holiday spirit, princess?โ Before he knew it, a Charleston Chew bar hit him in the chest.ย
โFor once, be serious. Steve is gonna be there. And I donโt want to deal with the two of you bickering like an old married couple.โย
Billy picked up the candy bar and tossed it back on the bed, grinning to himself. โIโll behave if he does.โย
Jess stopped pacing and turned to him. โRight, because heโs the one I should be worried about.โ Jess recalled earlier today how Billy purposefully blew smoke in Steveโs face right before successfully irritating Steve with the thought of him spending all winter break with her.ย
Billy walked over to the side of the bed he usually sat on and pushed the assortment of food to the other side and sat down, kicking off his shoes as he did so. He sucked in his cheek and bit down, contorting his mouth in a downward smirk. โDonโt gotta worry about me, sweetheart. Iโll be an absoluteย angel. Call it an early Christmas gift.โย
Jess considered his promise for a moment, her eyes traveling from his smile to his eyes, which gave off a hint of playfulness but no level of insincerity. โIย alwaysย have to worry about you,โ she huffed before settling down on the opposite side of the bed, pushing snacks closer to Billy.ย
โThatโs cute of you,โ Billy teased before eyeing the cans of beer that were at the foot of her bed. He leaned forward and grabbed the pack, twisting a can out of the plastic ring that held it secure to the other five. He swiftly cracked it open and took a swig from it, earning him another annoyed glance from Jess. โWhat? You want one, Logan?โย
โAbsolutely not.โ
โWhy? Youโre cute when youโre drunk.โย
The mention of her being intoxicated began to stir the memories from that last weekend, how she spent the majority of her night with Billy, and how that night ended. She began to feel light-headed from the memory of how close she stood to him towards the end of that song, how she was practically leaning against him for support. She was brought back to reality by the bed shifting, Billy placing the remaining five cans underneath her bed. โLetโs get this show on the road, princess. Not tryna keep you upย allย nightโฆโย
Jess shoved him, making his beer slosh.ย
โAye watch itโฆโย
She made her way toward her TV, taking her time to put the VHS in, not in a hurry to start hiding under her covers the whole time. She looked over the cover, โFriday the 13th, The Final Chapterโฆโ Jess scoffed, placing the tape in the player. โBilly, I swear if this is as bad as the first one-โ She was quickly cut off by the tape being played where it was last on, causing Jess to jump at the sight of Jason killing the hitchhiker on the side of the road.ย
โOohhhย shit!โ Billy laughed out, taking another sip of his beer before swinging his legs off the bed and quickly making his way to where Jess was standing. He watched her close her eyes, turning away from the TV as the ominous music played. โGo back to the bed, princess, I got it.โ He squatted down, pressing the rewind button on the VCR as he stared down the TV, waiting til he heard aย click, indicating it was done.ย
He turned back around to find Jess already underneath her blanket, the top of it bunched up by her mouth with her hands. He smirked down at her, able to see her eyes squint up at him in irritation. โDonโt worry, itโs honestly not that bad. I chose the cheesiest one of the two. Promise.โ He chuckled as he made his way to her light switch, flipping it off, and began to sit back down on his side of the bed, deciding to take a brownie as adjusted himself back against the headboard.ย
Jessโs glare softened as he joined her on the bed. โYouโve seen this before?โ Billy only nodded, turning his head to the side to look over at her, smiling for a moment before looking back over at the screen.ย
They stayed that way as the movie started, Jess bunching the blanket over her face, Billy smiling to himself as he continued to look over at her, sipping his beer contently. Billy felt the blanket shift suddenly, suggesting to him that the sight of Jasonโs hand falling free from the stretcher startled her. He bit down into his brownie and smirked to himself, swallowed, and then turned to look back at her once more. โIf it makes you feel better, Logan, weโre not out camping right now so it canโt happen to us.โ
โYeah. Great. Thanks.โ
Billy chuckled out loud, looking down at the load of snacks that separated the two of them, silently cursing the barrier as he sat up straighter. He picked up the Charleston Chew that was thrown at him and tossed it on her lap.ย
โEat a candy bar, youโll feel better.โย
Jess smiled lightly, grabbing the bar from her lap and slowly unwrapping it, not taking her eyes off the screen, lifting her knees to her chest. Billy continued to look from the snacks to her, watching the way the shifting lights from the screen illuminated her features, the way she cautiously bit into her snack, pausing with it still in her mouth when she was preparing for something that could possibly scare her. He continued to smile to himself as he noticed the way she squinted her left eye more than her right when she braced for oncoming jump scares and the way she slowly began to relax more throughout the movie. When they watched the hitchhiker get stabbed for the second time that night, Billy finally summoned the courage to start moving the snacks.ย
The rustling of the wrappers being moved made Jess finally remove her eyes from the screen and look over at the cause of the noise. He moved the bags of chips to the nightstand closest to him, along with the baked goods, seeing as he was the only one eating those, leaving the assorted candy bars where they were for Jess.ย
โWhatโre you doinโ?โย
โMaking more room.โ Billy shrugged as he coolly answered. He then playfully tossed the rest of the candy onto her lap when she didnโt make a move to remove them from the middle of the bed. โThink those belong to you.โ
โYeah, so did those-โ She was now pointing at the Doritos that Billy had already moved, but then quickly shifted back her attention toward the TV when she heard a twig snap. โOh, donโt walk aloneโฆโย
โDonโt worry, she doesnโt die. Yet.โ
โBillyโฆโ He only laughed in response but stopped immediately when she looked more annoyed than scared.ย
โHey, Iโm just kidding.โ He scooted inches closer to her, the snacks no longer blocking his way. When she didnโt say anything in response, he offered, โYou want me to turn it off?โ He continued to look down at her, his tone was serious and softer than it had been tonight, which caused Jess to look up at him.ย
She furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of him and then began to shake her head. โNoโฆโ She then looked back at the TV for only a moment, โI guess youโre right, itโs not as bad as I thought it was gonna be.โ When she turned to face him again, she noticed the smirk he was now giving her and rolled her eyes.ย
โSee what happens when you try new things, Logan?โ
โItโs still bad,โ she rebutted. โAnd by the way. Iย doย watch horror movies. I just donโtย likeย them.โ
โWhatever you say, gorgeous.โ He then reached for the Dorito bag that he placed on top of the nightstand and moved it to the opposite side of Jess, where it wasnโt separating the two of them, making it a point to reach behind her as he did so. When the chips were secured next to her, he allowed his hand to linger longer than needed before resting his arm above the pillow she was leaning against. He cracked his knuckles nervously, his arm tensing up every time Jess shifted.ย
Get it together, Hargrove.ย He cursed himself, attempting to look down at her without her noticing, but she was too busy noticing the way her body burned at the close proximity to his, attempting to free herself from the blanket without making it too obvious it was now causing her to overheat. When she could have sworn she was beginning to sweat, she jumped up suddenly.ย
โBathroomโฆโ was all she said, assuming the word would explain itself.ย
Billy sucked in before clearing his throat. โYou want me to pause it?โ
โGod no,โ she laughed out, exiting the room before the TV became too bright and he was able to see the strong blush that she knew currently covered her entire face. Billy chugged what remained of his now warm beer once Jess was clear of the room, hoping maybe it would loosen him up slightly. But unfortunately, he knew it would take a lot more than one beer to do that, and he would definitely like to stay sober while he was with her, at least in her bedroom.ย
When he heard footsteps reappear in the hallway, a mischievous grin appeared on his face as he got up from the bed and walked to the door just as she opened it, grabbing her hips as he scared her, believing all she would do was jump. When she let out a loud, short scream, however, he quickly widened his eyes and placed his hand over her mouth, chuckling quietly.
โShit, Logan.โ
Jess smacked his chest, causing Billy slowly to take his hand off of her face.ย
โDammit, Billy, if my parents heard meโฆโ She was answered by the sound of a door creaking open and the shuffle of footsteps. She pushed Billy further into her room as she stepped back into the hallway and found Stan at the bottom of the stairs.ย
โYou okay, kid?โย
โUh. Yeah. Just watching some stupid scary movie. Sorry.โ She looked back into her bedroom for only a moment, but enough to see Billyโs smirk growing on his face.ย
Stan Logan gave her a strained look, but then shrugged his shoulders and turned away from the stairs, โKeep it down next time kid, itโs the middle of the night.โย
โSorry,โ she then turned to look back at Billy before she continued, โItย wonโtย happen again.โย
She made it back into her room and shut the door behind her, refusing to break eye contact. โYou absoluteย asshole!โ she hissed, picking up another uneaten candy bar and chucking it at him, which he easily swatted away as he laughed, attempting to be quieter.ย
โHow was I supposed to know youโd scream like that?โย
โItโs like you want to get me into trouble.โ She shook her head in exasperation, but when Billy could only laugh at the incident, it caused her to break into a smile as well, which she attempted to hold back once it appeared. โItโs not funny!โ Her giggling, however, said otherwise, and she rolled her eyes once more, plopping down on her bed as Billy sprawled out on his side, now taking the candy that was thrown at him and opening it for himself.ย
The sound of glass breaking made both of them turn their heads back to the screen as they watched some poor girl get thrown from the top story onto a car by Jason, making Jess cringe.ย
โSo theyโre just all dying at once now, huh?โย
โTypically how it goes,โ Billy answered, biting into the candy bar and quickly swallowing, โSurprised she didnโt survive that.โ
โShe was thrown out of a window!โย
Billy just shrugged nonchalantly, โEh, the car cushioned her fall.โ Billy then turned back and smiled at her, taking another bite.ย
โTheย carย cushioned-โ Instead of finishing this sentence, she shook her head in disbelief and began laughing even harder. โYouโre insane.โ
โIโd survive that fall.โ
โSure you would, tough guy.โย
Billy scooted his way closer as they continued watching the movie, making the excuse that Jess was โhogging the chipsโ. Jess stopped feeling the need to shield herself from the jump scares and gory scenes as Billy continued to make jokes and ridicule how each character handled the situation, making her laugh as if she were watching a comedy. By the end of the movie, Billy was practically leaning against Jess as he continued to eat more chips than he wanted.ย
โSo what did you think, princess? Not that bad huh?โย
Jess shook her head slowly. โNo, not that bad.โย
Billy beamed at her then tapped her leg with his hand before climbing over her, swinging his legs off her side of the bed, and heading to the door.ย
โBathroomโs this way, right?โ He asked as he pointed in the right direction.ย
โYes, just please be quiet.โ
โYou got it, Princess.โ
While he was gone, Jess took the time to remove the wrappers and crumbs from her bed, getting back under the covers as Billy was reentering the room.ย
โAlright, Logan.โ He climbed over her again to make it to his side of the bed and then sprawled out, laying his head on one of the pillows, โGoodnight.โ
โYou think so, huh?โย
โWhat?โ He then looked at her with feigning surprise. โYou wanna sleepย all by yourselfย tonight? I guess youโre a big girl after all.โ
โShut up.โ
Billy relaxed against the pillow he was lying on and moved his gaze to the ceiling and quickly changed the subject. โSo have you seen the other ones?โ
โJust the first one. Like I said, Iโm not into scaring myself for fun.โ
โYou know what that meansโฆโ Billy nudged her side as he continued staring up, the solid blue light from the screen softly illuminating the room. โWe gotta go on a marathon.โย
โThat isย notย what that means,โ Jess responded, also settling into bed, lifting the covers so that it barely covered her chin.
โI thought you said it wasnโt that bad,โ he teased, shifting his head so he could look at her. Her eyes met his, rolling to the side before looking back at him, peering at him through her eyelashes, making Billy feel as if his chest would explode if he didnโt look away. Despite his whole body pleading with him to turn away, he kept his eyes fixed on hers as he continued. โIโll tell you what,โ he smiled deviously at her, โwe switch off. You show me one of your lame chick flicks, and then weโll watch the first Friday movie, yeah?โย
โFirst of all,โ Jess pulled the covers back down to her chest so she could prop herself up with her elbow, โtheyโre notย lame, and second, Iโve already seen the first one.โ
โThen it shouldnโt be a problem to see it again.โ Billy continued to stare at her, challenging her to accept. He also moved to incline himself, taking his pillow and folding it in half.ย
โFine. But after Friday the 13th,ย weโre done with horror movies.โ
โUnless I make you like them.โ Billy widened his smile, opening his mouth a bit to allow his tongue to run along the bottom row of his teeth.ย
โYeah right,โ Jess scoffed, scrunching her eyebrows in disbelief.
โYou seemed to like this one just fine.
โThatโs only because youโre-โ She stopped abruptly, not allowing herself to finish that sentence, but when she looked over the expression Billy was making, the way his smile dropped and his eyes squinted, she knew she had to say something. โItโs only because you were making fun of it.โ
Billyโs smile returned, but not as wide as it was earlier. โThen Iโll make sure to do the same thing next time.โ He winked at her, settling into his folded pillow as he listened to her complain about how much she was going to hate this upcoming movie marathon, and how scared she was to watch the other two she hadnโt seen yet. But he knew better. He had watched how comfortable she had gotten after the first 30 minutes, watched how her shoulders stopped tensing. He liked to think he maybe had something to do with it, or maybe it was just the fact that he did pick the corniest movie out of the two.ย
He wondered what would have happened if he had picked a different movie, a more frightening one. Would she have cowered under her blanket the whole time? Would she have cowered behind him? He quickly shook the โwhat ifsโ away. He knew thatโs not how he wanted this night to go. He didnโt want to be the default guy she cuddled next to, didnโt want her to feel like she had to get close to him. This was the same reason he didnโt fight Steve about taking her home so early into the party. And he knew this was why he chose this franchise of horror movies to introduce her to.ย
He continued to listen to her talk about all the movies she would make him watch. She figured she might show him the Star Wars movies since he was so adamant about making her watch a franchise as well, which he just scoffed at, but he knew watching some weird sci/fi films wouldnโt be the worst thing ever if it were with her.ย
They continued changing topics for hours, whether it be about movies, school, and again about California until the conversation moved to the party that was being thrown on New Yearโs Eve.ย
โYouโre going right?โย
โIf Steve goes, yeah.โ
โWhy does it matter ifย Steve goes? You didnโt even hang out with him last time.โ
โSteve happens to be my ride. And plus, Iย normallyย hang out with him. He was just busy last time.โ
โYeah, I saw,โ Billy replied bitterly, โYou forget I have a car or something?โ
Jess looked at him interrogatively, โYouโdย want to take me?โ
โIf you need a ride, I can give you a ride.โ
โThatโs not what I was asking.โย
โSounds like what you were asking.โ
Jess sucked in and sighed, folding her pillow in half as well now and laying into it as her eyes started to get heavy. โI mean,โ she paused for a moment, knowing exactly what she meant, just not how to say it, โI meanโฆ everyoneโs gonna be there. And everyoneโs gonna see you taking me to this party. Itโs not just you taking me to school anymore.โย
โAnd?โ
โYou want people to see me in your car?โ
Billy shook his head and chuckled sarcastically, โSeems like youโre the one whoโs worried about it, not me.โ
โNo thatโs notโฆโ Jess began to backtrack but paused. He was right, she was worried about it, but not in the way that he thought. It was when Billy began to get up that she started to speak again. โWhatโre you doing?โ
โItโs hella late, and Iโm falling asleep.โ He began to grab for his jacket that was on the floor next to his side of the bed, holding it at his side as he turned to face Jess again. โLook, if you donโt want me to give you a ride, then I wonโt, thatโs all you had to say. You donโt need to go into some lame excuse about howย Iย donโt want to-โ
โThatโs not what I meant...โ Billy stood there, continuing to look at her, finally shrugging his shoulders, exaggerating the movement as to tell her to keep going. โItโs just. Your friends donโt like me, okay? And I already had trouble when you first started taking me to school and-โ
โWho gave you trouble?โ Billy quickly interrupted, seemingly unamused by this bit of information.ย
โThatโs not the point nor does it matterโฆโ She sighed one last time, โThe point is, I donโt want to be the talk of the schoolย again, especially if your friends are the ones doing the talking.โ
Billy took this into consideration, nodding as she finished, he then looked down at the ground, pondering what to say next, and looked back at her. โYou know, Carolโs just bitter you donโt talk to her anymore. She doesnโt hate you.โ
โThatโs not really the vibe I get.โ
โSo whoโs giving you trouble then, because I know itโs not Carol, she talks but she wouldnโt come at you directly. And Tommy really couldnโt give a shit.โ Billy tossed his jacket down again and sat back on the bed, folding his left leg under him as his right hung off the edge.ย
โWho do you think?โ When Billy continued to stare at her, just about ordering her to give him an answer with the raise of his eyebrows, she scoffed, โYour girlfriend, thatโs who.โย
Billy began to shake his head, laughing coldly at the news. โWhich one?โ he teased before releasing his downturned smirk, โNext time just tell her to fuck off.โ
โI did.โ
Billy nudged her lightly, conveying his approval. โThatโs my girl.โ
โIt doesnโt make it any more fun though.โ
โGetting to tell Jane to fuck off isnโt fun?โ
Jess laughed at this, nodding her head in agreeance. โI meant the being talked about part.โ
โYeah, well, fuck โem.โ
โIs that what you tell yourself? โFuck โemโ?โ
โIโm starting to.โ Billy drew a short, loud breath threw his nose, nodding slowly as he turned away from her for a moment. โIt took me a while to get there butโฆ yeah. Fuck โem all.โย
Jess giggled at this statement, relaxing her shoulders at the thought of not having a care in the world of what others thought. โSo is that why youโre such an asshole?โ Jess teased, earning a snort from Billy.ย
โNah,โ Billy paused, staring at the foot of her bed, โNo thatโs not whyโฆโ He then tilted his head to look over at her, the light from the screen casting still shadows on her face. He smiled more to himself than at her before lying back down on the pillow that was now partially unfolded.
โI thought you were tired?โ
โI am,โ he said flatly.ย
โI thought you were leaving?โ
โThatโs because I was irritated, and now Iโm not.โ When she didnโt respond he tilted his head and asked, โDo you want me to leave?โ
Summary: The day Billy Hargrove found Phoebe Levin changed his life forever. The day he met her was one he would never forget, literally. Like how can you forget that.
The minute that Billy stepped out of his camaro into the Hawkinโs High School parking lot he knew that this was gonna be the absolute worst part of his entire life. Girls were already gawking him like a piece of meat given to a pack of wolves. The guys were sizing him up like they thought they had a chance at winning a fight against him.ย
โJeezus, smells like cow shit here.โ He muttered as he made his way into the high school. Once his boot made contact with the tile floor of the school he was swarmed with wannabes and thirsty girls.
โHey man, I'm Tommy. Weโre gonna be great friends.โ One freckled faced freak said to him.
โHello~ Iโm Tina, itโs so great to meet you.โ Some brunette flirted.
โHeey cali boy, how does the countryside feel?โ Some rando said.
โHoly shit, do these guys have anything better to do?โ Billy thought. โIt's not the worst, I already have them like putty in my hand.โ He smirked, he already had a majority of the school's population on his side. This could not be as awful as he thought it was going to be. If these guys are like this just by his first day then Billy canโt wait for what will happen throughout the next couple of months.ย
Which is what happened, Billy soon became the new King of Hawkins High School. He had everyone eating from the palm of his hand. The parties were nothing like the ones in California but they were a good way to distract him while being here. And every girl here wanted in his pants, which he let them but soon left them right after the deed was done.ย
The day started off as any other day. Billy was late to his first period, as perusal, taking his seat with a very irked teacher. As he was about to start his normal routine of ignoring everyone around him a glint caught his eye. He turned his head to see a girl decorated in long earrings and glittering necklaces. She had pale skin and hard dark hair. Her eyes looked bored but still tried to pay attention to the lesson at hand. She wore dark clothes, her stomach was out, and the closer Billy looked he realized she didnโt have a bra on. She looked wild. Her hair somehow kept and unkept at the same time. Something about her was drawing him in, like a wave to a surfboard.
โCan you stop starring?โ She broke him from his thoughts. No enthusiasm in her tone, she was not happy whatsoever that he was staring at her. Why was she not giggling at him like every other girl?
โIโm Billy.โ Billy tried to introduce himself. Pulling his classic charm to win this girl over.
โI know. Now stop talking to me.โ She simply put.
โWhat?โ
โI said stop talking to me, you are someone I do not want to speak to.โ She was getting frustrated by his presence. Thatโs bullshit, the only person that was supposed to get annoyed by him was Hairrington.
โIโm trying to flirt with you, you know that right?โ He asked as if it wasnโt obvious.
โYes itโs very obvious, so why donโt you stop and go back to the other girl next you that you flirted with all last month that has not stopped staring at you since class started.โ Now you were over him. If your tone didnโt put it straight in his face that you were not having anything he was giving; he turned around to, in fact, see the said girl staring at him. Then the bell rang just as he was going to talk to you again. But you were out of there without him seeing.
The cafeteria was where Billy saw the mysterious girl next. He just stared at her as she sat by herself. No one was around her, being that her friends had a different lunch schedule then her. His staring didnโt go unnoticed by Tommy or Carol.
โWhy are you staring at that weirdo?โ Tommy asked him, picking at the food on his tray.
โWho is she?โ Billy asked curiously.
โPhoebe Levin is the most peculiar girl youโll ever meet. Swear to god she is related to The freak sometimes.โ Carol scowled. โYou seriously donโt want to be around her.โ
โHer mom was married to some Russian immigrant dude, probably killed because of his help with the Russian forces.โ Tommy laughed.
โUgh, I donโt know why she is still here.โ Carol whined. โBilly there are such better girls in this school than her.โ The three continued to stare at the young girl.ย
Phoebe knew they were watching her, she knew Billy was asking questions about her. โGod give me a break.โ She grumbled through the sandwich she was chewing. She heard the sound of fake pompous heels click their way over to where she was sitting. And to no one's surprise there stood Carol Perkins. With a grin on her face andย her caked on makeup.
โCan I help you Carol?โ The unenthused girl spoke.
โHey Phoebe.โ Carol smiled, obviously fake. โ I just wanted to check up on you, you seem so lonely.โ
โOkay?โ Carol just continued to stare at her while she ate.
โYou know for someone that has so many cropped tops, you do have a pretty fat stomach.โ Carol snied.ย
โYou know for someone that sucks every other guy's dick except her boyfriendโs, youโd think youโd know how to shut your mouth.โ Phoebe retorted. โAre we done here?โ Carol just sat there with her mouth agape. Phoebe finished the remainder of her lunch taking her tray to leave. Only for Coral to put her foot out and trip her. Causing Phoebe to go face first into her tray. Phoebe picked herself up, taking the little food she had off her shirt. Walking away unbothered.
โUgh, You scathing BITCH!โ Yell Carol.
Billy watched in amazement. He loved every moment of that conversation, he knew she were different. He didnโt think she'd be this different. He watched as Phoebe made her way out of the lunchroom watching her hips sway as she walked. Carol made her way back to their table huffing and puffing at the interaction she just had. Sitting down like a newly scolded child.
โI told you Billy, you donโt want to be around her.โ Carol sneered.
Ever since Billy asked about Phoebe Levin everybody has given every opinion possible about her.
โShe is so weird.โ
โSheโs probably a spy planted for the Russians, maybe thatโs why sheโs so isolated.โ
โI swear sheโs done a seance with Munson!โ
โPhoebe doesnโt wear a bra, like ever, which is kinda hot?โ
โUhg, she hangs in the library all the time in her dark corner.โ
โShe always seems like sheโs on some psychedelic trip.โ
โI saw her walking barefoot through the woods once.โ
โHer grandma is a witch.โ
โI hear sheโs eaten goatโs brain.โ
Billy didnโ t give a shit what these people thought. He only knew her name and that he wanted to meet her.
While Billy dealt with his predicament of having to find his belle of the ball in black Phoebe was dealing with her own troubles. Her trouble has names that are Carol Perkins, Hiedi Flanders, Tina Clarks, and Betty Johnson; those four have been giving her hell all week. All for Billy Hargrove having caught his eye on her.
โI swear to everything, I will rip his tongue out.โ Phoebe grumbled under her breath.
โHey itโs alright.โ Nancy reassured, โItโs Friday, you wonโt see them for two days. But you will be seeing Tom Cruise with me.โ She grinned. The both of you being friends was an odd sight to see. A princess and a witch, but you guys have been through thick and thin together. Phoebe was there for her when she found out Barb was found dead. And Nancy was there for Phoebe when her dad died. Only those two know the secrets between each other, that no one else will ever know.
โI guess youโre right.โ Phoebe smiled. โIโll see you after gymโฆ see ya.โ Phoebe waved her off.ย
Phoebe was making her way to the gym locker room when she thought she heard giggling behind her. She knew what was going to happen, having already accepted her fate of whatever little prank the class bimbos were going to pull on her. Nothing like this will change for her if she stays in this fucking town. Phoebe entered the locker room to her spot by the corner. Putting her stuff away into her cubby then continues with getting ready as normal. Taking off her clothes to put on her gym clothes. Once the shirt was over her head and on her body, this is one of few instances she puts a bra on (ya gotta stay prepared) Phoebe then hears the giggles again. โDammitโ Phoebe braces herself for what is about to come. The expecting rush of cold water comes down upon her; her hair now wet, her mascara smudged and running down her face, the top of her shirt soaked. The giggles turned to full hyena laughter ringing through the locker room.ย
โSorry Carrie didnโt see ya there!โ Carol boasted.
โI think she looks better this way.โ Tina smirked.
โYeah, it brings out that washed out skin.โ Betty cackled, and Iโm the one that gets called a witch. The warning whistle from the coach signaling us to get out of the locker room.
โCome on Carrie, donโt wanna be late.โ Carol joked, her and her friends laughed as they walked away. Phoebe did not react. She made no comment. All she did was make her way out of the locker room to the gym for class. Where she saw a familiar mullet head skipping class.
A glare was given to him. Phoebe was tired of the shit she was given. Tired of the attention people have decided to give you for the dumbest reason. To have some meat head think this is the funniest joke on the planet. โI will shave his head and make him eat his hair.โ I hate him.
โHoly shit.โ No one since he has gotten here has given Billy any shit. But the glare that Phoebe gave him. A chill ran up his back. With the unlit cigarette hanging from his lip almost falling out. He has not met a girl like her. Well he has but they usually never speak to him, let alone glare through his skull.ย
โGo to hellโฆโ
Phoebe spent her time in gym class wisely. She didnโt tell the coach. Didnโt explain to anyone that asked. She ran her laps. Did every exercise she was told to. She ignored the laughter of the girls that did this to her. Ignored that stares from everyone. However when at her water break Phoebe noticed the janitorโs closet was unlocked, ideas went through her head. If she was going to be treated like this only because some ass is giving her attention. Well they donโt say an eye for an eye for nothin.ย
Gym class was let out, since Phoebe was one of the first few into the locker room her plan was already in action. The four bimboโs made their way to her corner; already dressed in her tank top and long skirt. Accentuating her figure, a figure that many were jealous of or either wanted. The bimboโs were in their towels going to take their showers.
โWho knew youโd enjoy a cold bath before class.โ Laughed Betty.
โYeahโฆ Now just for you to knowโฆโ Heidi said, wickedness pouring from her words as she stepped forward closer to me. She glared at me, โStay away from Billy, or I will make your life hell.โ
โOh sweetheart.โ Phoebe mocked. โI knew I was there when I saw you.โ She apparently didnโt like that too much since she turned away from me flipping her hair into my face. Her curly coarse hair from too many perm treatments. But Phoebe didnโt have to worry about that, when across from her she saw the familiar belongings to the girls that were once here. Along with some items that will aid her in her revenge.
Nancy was confused, gym class got out a few minutes ago and she couldnโt find Phoebe anywhere. All she saw was the commotion of the halls. Nancy doesnโt know where she could be. Untilโฆ
Billy was getting annoyed not only with not being able to shake off his interaction with Phoebe earlier today but no one would stop bothering him. He canโt stand it, Tommy wonโt shut his yap.
โThen I told him to strew off if he knew what was good for him.โ Tommy laughed.
โYep, you got him.โ Billy grumbled. He just watched as the people in the halls passed him. Looking for her.
Tommy rolled his eyes, โAre you still looking for her, sheโs literally a nobody.โ
โTommy. If I wanted your opinion Iโd ask for it.โ Billy stated. โ And I donโt-โ Billy was cut of by the clicking of running heels.
โTOMMY!โ Carol yelled, โTOMMY!โ Carol and the other three girls ran up to the two boys. The girls were out of breath but fuming with anger with their arms tightly crossed against their chests.ย
โWhoa what is it?โ Tommy asked.
โSomeone stole from us.โ Carol snided.
โStole what?โ Tommy questioned. โYou have all your stuff.โ He pointed out.
โNO.โ Carold came closer to Tommyโs face so no one else would hear. โSomeone stole our brasโฆโ Tommyโs eyes widened, he almost laughed at the statement before him.
โWhat?โ Tommy answered. Neither of them noticed the sudden burst of energy in the hallway. People started to make their way to windows and the front of the school. Billy noticed but he waited for the couple to finish. All while being stared at by Hiedi.
โI want you to find them and kick their ass!โ Carol screamed. The echo of her words is what stopped their discussion. Carol looked around, along with her little posse, โWhat are they looking at?โ
It was about the same time when Billy and Nancy made their way outside to the front of the school. Pushing their way through a shocked crowd of students, some laughing and some with their jaws on the floor. By the time the two teens made it to the front of the crowd what they saw before them was not what they thought it would be.ย
In front of them stood four burning stacks with bras being burnt at the ends.
With what Billy just overheard, he can only guess at who those were. And off to the side stood Phoebe Levin smoking a cigarette lit by the flames. Standing only looking at the crowd before her. It didnโt take long before Carol and the others saw what had happened to their once lacy bralettes. Screaming as they saw the consequences of their actions before them.
โOOHH!โ Coral screeched. โYOU BITCH!โ
โExactly!โ Phoebe Levin replied. Phoebe then stared at Billy, the same stare she gave him in the halls a while ago. She flicked the last of her cigarette onto the ground, then stomped it out. She only smiled as she passed Carol and them until she was face toย face with Billy.
โI donโt know what your game is, but I donโt like it so leave me out of it.โ She stated to him.
โI donโt think so, this only made me want more.โ He grinned at her.
โPHOEBE LEVIN!โ The familiar call of the principle called, she wasnโt getting out of this easily.
โThatโs my queโฆโ She said as she left him there.
Billy did not know what else to say. He was glad she walked away because he would have been speechless. Billy knew what he wanted and he wanted her, he wanted to be with her. And heโll have to work a little harder to get her. He doesnโt mind cause once he has her. He wonโt let go.
Gina Hagan had things easy. She knew she was pretty, sheโd been told so her entire life. And okay, so Hawkinโs was a small midwestern town, maybe the bar was pretty low but she still had smooth sailing because of her looks. Her brother being popular helped. Freshmen year at Hawkinโs High was nothing short of a breeze. It meant a guaranteed spot with the cool crowd. People flocked to her because she was Tommyโs sister and who was his best friend? None other than the King himself, Steve Harrington. Hawkinโs one and only golden boy. His parents were filthy rich, rumors always swirling about their professions but Gina had the close connection to know the truth. His dad came from old money, had a shit ton of real estate across many states but was bred and born right here in quaint little Hawkinโs. He wanted his son to have a similar upbringing so well, they stayed here. However, with Mrs. Harringtonโs job, once little Stevie could take care of himself, they were never in Hawkinโs much. Two months of the year, really. July and Christmas. They didnโt like winters in Indiana, so in all honestly it was about a month and a week. Barbara Harrington was a lawyer and a damned good one. Big corporations had her on the payroll and Steve says thereโs a lot of schmoozing that comes along with the job. Ginaโs met them a handful of times, mostly when she was a kid but they were always kind. She has a distinct memory of clinging to Tommyโs side when the Harringtonโs bought them winter jackets.
Gina remembers feeling inferior to the Harringtonโs when she was kid. Steve had called them poor a number of times. Heโd say his parents were doing their charity when they brought over Christmas presents to the Haganโs. Barbara told her sheโd always wanted a little girl and so each year for Christmas and Ginaโs birthday, sheโd bring over at least ten gifts for her. Clothes, expensive clothes and shoes. Her mom was hesitant but Gina was excited to wear them to school.
Her parents were as well off. They struggled when her and Tommy were young. However, thanks to Tommyโs insistence on Steve in grade school, James and Barbara Harrington became close with her parents and offered them jobs. Their dad managed one of Jamesโ properties and their mom practically ran Barbaraโs headquarters here in Hawkinโs. Their families were close, they celebrated Christmas together. Steve was practically a brother. Except Gina had been harboring a fat crush on him since he was twelve and she was ten. A crush that got obsessive but sheโd managed to keep under wraps until she was about fourteen. Damned her and Tommyโs unexpected little sister. Bridgette Hagan was born six years after Gina, a total whoops baby. In fact, their mother was scheduled to get her tubes tied but the doctor cancelled last minute and Bridgette was conceived shortly after. So one night at dinner, Steve was staying over and the spunky eight year old had spilled Ginaโs dearly kept secret.
โGina likes Steve!โ she had proclaimed before digging into her mashed potatoes.
Gina about died. Her smattering of freckles disguised behind the redness of her face. It was the most humiliating moment thus far. Tommy had seemed just as embarrassed, telling Bridgette to shut up as Gina stood up and ran to her bedroom. Only for Steve to appear minutes later and tell her everything was alright and he didnโt hate her.
Then, Gina turned fifteen. Her parents threw her a sweet little party. A nice dinner at Enzoโs, the guest list included their five piece family, Steve, a few of her friends and Tommyโs girlfriend, Carol. It was nice, she felt fancy and pretty in her formal black dress. Carol had styled her hair that night, showed her how to do makeup. Gina loved Carol. She was like a big sister. Even if Gina got grossed about her and Tommy, she still felt wonderfully close to Carol. After dinner, they went back to the Haganโs house for cake and once their parents went to bed, Steve had swirled his keys around his fingers and told Gina and everyone he had an after party waiting at his empty house.
Gina was nervous to drink that night, sheโd never really had much alcohol except for sips off beers Tommy had offered. But Steve had mixed her a couple of cocktails, simple ones; vodka and juice. And Gina had never felt more special than that moment, her and Steve Harrington alone in his kitchen as he told her sheโd like the drink and then tucked her curly brown hair behind her ear and told her she had the prettiest eyes heโd ever seen. He was so wonderfully handsome, big brown eyes and floppy hair.
โCome with me,โ Steve had said, โI wanna show you something.โ
Gina had followed him up to his pristine room, the one with plaid wallpaper. Steve bought her a pair of earrings. He put them on for her and kissed her. It wasnโt Ginaโs first kiss but it might as well have been. The first French kiss sheโd had. His tongue felt magical against hers, Gina was sure sheโd combust right there on his bed when itโd happened. Never in her life had sheโd felt that way from a kiss. Steve ignited every nerve ending, she almost cried when he pulled away and told her how beautiful she was.
Losing your virginity to Steve Harrington was something special, even if she knew of five other girls whoโd had the same fate. She didnโt even think about those girls when it happened. Steve had made her feel like she was the only woman in the world. Made her feel like a woman. It was gentle and sweet and everything Gina had wanted. Afterwards, he told her Tommy couldnโt find out and she was on board. She knew heโd be upset, wouldnโt want anything to jeopardize his long-standing friendship with Steve. But after that, Gina was addicted. Infatuated. Steve Harrington was a God that walked among men.
Gina would fill her diary with how handsome and funny Steve was. An entire page was dedicated to her practicing her signature with Steveโs last name. Gina Harrington scrawled out repeatedly in her most practiced cursive. She remembers one time Steve found it, teased her about it until he straddled her on her twin size bed and kissed her dizzy.
They continued sneaking around for almost a whole year. Whenever Steve spent the night, Gina could expect the lanky brunette to creep into her bedroom and make her feel on cloud nine. It was a blissful seven months. That was, until her classmate, Nancy Wheeler caught his attention. The worst part was that Steve never broke up with Gina. Not that they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend but things just abruptly shifted. Steve stopped sneaking into her room when he spent the night, his eyes no longer found hers in a crowded room. But Gina held on. Steve would spend the night and she would lay in bed and wait for what once was. It never came.
Steve dove head first into Nancy. The real kicker was when Gina sat with Tommy, Carol and Nancyโs friend Barb in Steveโs backyard while he added Nancy Wheeler to the notches in his bed post. It was excruciating. She was just as miserable as Barb that night. Perhaps it was a lord opportunity to make a new friend but Gina didnโt want to be friendly with Barb that night. She was a gear in the workings that ruined what was most important to Gina.
Gina withdrew. Sheโd broke down one night and confessed everything to Carol, who held her close and told her Steve was the biggest asshole in existence. Gina couldnโt find it in herself to agree. Steve had made her feel so special. Carol had formulated all these plans to ruin Steveโs life, break him and Nancy up and make Steve regret ever hurting Gina. It was sweet. Carol was the best big sister, even if she wasnโt really.
It was much easier when Steve had gotten into a fight with Tommy. Her brother never told her exactly happened but Gina knew it was bad because Steve started acting like they didnโt exist. And the boys fought a lot through out the years but nothing like that time. It had to do with Nancy. That much was clear, but Tommy and Carol wouldnโt talk about it. Gina thinks it was because theyโd done something horrible. Perhaps because Carol knew how much Steve had hurt Gina and she had to get revenge, even if Gina insisted she didnโt.
Therefore, itโd been a whole summer without Steve. Ginaโs first since she was in grade school. It wasnโt that drastically different than the summer beforeโ parties, swimming and lazy days lounged on the couch. Except this one was empty. No brown eyes and floppy, big hair to gaze at. No empty house to relax at. The swimming sheโd done had been at the community pool and not the Harringtonโs. The parties lacked one exceptional guest. Lazy days were lonely without Steveโs jokes and lingering touches. The boys sheโd fooled around with never gave her the same feelings Steve did. Gina didnโt get the tingling in her fingers and toes when any of them kissed her neck. Her thoughts didnโt fizzle out when they went down on her. Sheโs slept with a handful of them but it wasnโt nearly as exciting as it was with Steve. They didnโt make her feel special. She didnโt want to even look at them whenever it was finished. But she remembered always cuddling with Steve, joking around and the compliments Steve would give her. No one compared. Sheโd found love and sheโd lost it just as quick.
Carol and her grew even closer, but Tommy got upset when she didnโt join in on the shit talking. Gina couldnโt even find the energy to hate Nancy, as much as Carol insisted she should. Nancy wasnโt the problem here, she had no idea what secrets went on between Steve and his best friends little sister. It was pointless to hate her.
Even if Gina was bitter. Sheโd compare herself to Nancy but would be at a loss. Steve had told her how beautiful she was, how smart she was, how funny she was. Gina hadnโt changed, but Steve had. Steve was the problem here and the quicker Gina accepted that, the better.
;;;
โHurry up!โ Tommy bangs on the bathroom door.
Gina huffs as she grabs the wide tooth comb and rakes it through her tangle of loose chestnut curls. She was about due for another perm but that was a problem for another day. Sheโd overslept and would have preferred to shower but wouldnโt have the time. Sheโd washed her armpits and nether regions with a washcloth at the sink, Carol referred to this lovingly as a whores bath. Gina thinks Carolโs really funny and sheโs pretty sure Carol thinks so too.
When Gina swings the bathroom door open, her equally as freckled brother pushes past her and shoves her out of the room before slamming the door. Their relationship was an interesting one. They were attached at the hip most their lives, the photos decorating the hallways show a young Tommy holding an infant Gina with adoration in his eyes. Their mom says he was infatuated with her when she was a baby, doting on her and it only started to waver when he started going through puberty. It felt like rejection at first but the older they got, the better they got along. When she started high school, Tommy made sure she sat with him and his friends at lunch. He brought her along to parties and always included her. He wasnโt necessarily protective but if Gina needed, she knew heโd punch in any manโs face who hurt her. Especially Steve Harrington. But that would mean admitting she betrayed her brother by falling in love with his best friend, and she couldnโt do that.
Gina dresses in a white tennis skirt, a striped polo and slouchy socks with her pink Kedโs. She puts on minimal makeup, a bit of rouge and mascara. Itโs October, a skirts not the best choice but Gina loves wearing them enough to suffer through a bit of chill. She shoves her arms through a lavender colored zip up hoodie and ties half her hair up with a matching scrunchie. Tommyโs waiting impatiently at the door when she exits her room, mumbling under his breath as he opens the door for them and locks it. Heโs always complaining about her being late.
His Toyota is messy, Gina steps on paper bags and cups as she climbs in the front seat. Any comments to clean it would fall on deaf ears. A rebuttal that she could walk her ass to school would be made if she said anything. It was a hand-me-down from their uncle, Tommyโs sixteenth birthday present. She remembers how he grumbled about Steve getting a brand new BMW for his and Gina didnโt complain when she wasnโt gifted a car on her sixteenth birthday. She didnโt have her license anyways. The hundred dollars from her parents was a nice enough gift. She purchased a Walkman and cassettes with it.
They pick up Carol on the way and Ginaโs sentenced to the backseat which is even messier than the front. All is well though. She feels good about today. No reason to aside for handing out fliers her and Tina made for a Halloween party. Tinaโs parents are going to a party in Indianapolis so itโs the perfect opportunity. Theyโd planned it as soon as they found out the girlsโ house would be empty for the holiday. Gina liked planning parties, though it wasnโt much planning. The kids coming would bring the booze and they didnโt exactly decorate. Gina liked to be involved though. She was kind of close to Tina. They werenโt best friends and Tina was friendly with almost everyone at Hawkinโs High. But there were many a drunk night spent between the two where they told secrets. Like how Tina had slept with Tommy during one of his and Carolโs many break-ups and she really didnโt want Carol to find out. Gina didnโt tell her about Steve, though. But she told her a secret about one of her embarrassing hookups.
When they arrive at the school, Gina and Carol find their way to Tina, Becca and Stacy. The five girls lean against Tinaโs car while Tommy talks to his basketball buddies. Gina watches as Steveโs BMW pulls into the lot, Nancy in the front seat and she tries not to let her disappointment make itself known on her face. Itโs been long enough. She should be used to it at this point. It still stings. Gina wishes she was in Nancyโs place.
A rumble of a loud engine grabs everyoneโs attention. A pretty night blue 79โ Z28 Camaro drives by and into the spot opposite the girls. Everyoneโs eyes are glued on it. No one in Hawkinโs has a car like that. It belongs to an outsider, a stranger. Ginaโs in love with the car the second she sees it. Itโs fucking awesome. The California plates catch her attention. PCE 235. Itโs hard to read until it comes to a stop. The loud music erupting from the car cuts off and the drivers door swings open.
Worn motorcycle boots and thick denim legs emerge, Gina couldnโt look away if she wanted to. The man who emerges from the Camaro literally takes her breath away. Blonde, curly mullet and a hint of a mustache. Heโs fucking gorgeous. A young redhead climbs out the passenger side with a skateboard, sheโs wearing a red Adidas sweatshirt. She throws the board down and skates up to the middle school. The guy takes a pull from his cigarette, gives a little smirk to the four girls and then tosses the cigarette before strutting towards the school.
Ginaโs breath catches in her throat. An immediate attraction to the boy. The Scorpions song he was blasting helps. They clearly have a similar interest and sheโs floored with the possibilities that could be. She wants to talk to him so bad.
โWho is that?โ Stacy asks what theyโre all thinking.
โI have no idea,โ Tina replies, โbut would you check out that ass? Just look at it go.โ
Oh, Gina is. His Leviโs are so fucking tight, they show off his thick thighs and perfect ass. Sheโs almost embarrassed by the physical reaction sheโs having to the newcomer. Tommyโs jogging over, looking amongst the girls.
โWho the fuck is that?โ he asks, face all contorted in excitement.
โWe donโt know,โ Carol says.
โHis car is fucking bitchinโ,โ he gushes.
;;;
Tommy moves fast. Gina realizes as much when sheโs walking up towards their house and sees that gorgeous Camaro parked on the street. Her heart flutters when she sees it. The chance to meet the stranger is exciting.
Sheโd just been at the music store, used her allowance to buy a record and a cassette. They were the same album. She wanted one to listen to at home and another to put in her Walkman.
Gina passes by her parents as she makes her way up the sidewalk. She smiles at them. Theyโre preparing for the cold months about to come. Uprooting the plants that wonโt make it, unhooking the house and whatever else.
โTommyโs got a new friend over,โ her mother says.
Gina points at the Camaro, โI see that.โ
โSeems like a nice kid,โ her dad offers, โVery respectful.โ
โYeah?โ Gina smiles.
Her mom gives her a knowing look, โYou think heโs handsome?โ
โWell, he is,โ she gushes. โI havenโt talked to him, yet. He was nice?โ
โDefinitely. Complimented my roses as I ripped them out,โ her dad says. โNice car too.โ
โReally nice car.โ
โWhy donโt you go and introduce yourself?โ Ginaโs mom insists, โAsk if heโd like to stay for dinner.โ
Gina nods with a grin before opening the front door. Sheโs greeted with the sound of Metallica blaring out of Tommyโs room. It seems heโs trying to impress the new guy with the only metal album he owns. Suddenly, sheโs nervous. That boy was so handsome she felt on fire when sheโd seen him. And now he was in her house. Hanging out with her brother. It was almost too good to be true.
She takes a deep breath before making her descent down the hallway. Gina stops at Tommyโs room and peers inside. Carolโs laid out on the floor, checking her nails while the blonde and her brother sit on the edge of Tommyโs bed. The gorgeous boy has a cigarette perched in between his lips while he nods along with the baseline of the song. Tommyโs head banging obnoxiously. Her parents smoke in the house so thatโs not an issue, they just donโt know that Tommy and Gina also smoke. She wonders what theyโd think of this kid their age, smoking in their house.
The stranger notices her and pinches his cigarette between his fingers as he pulls it away. His lips curl up and he drawls, โHi.โ
Ginaโs throat tightens as she matches his gaze. His voice is like honey. Thick and sweet as it sends excitement between her legs. She gives a shy wave as her brother and his girlfriend notice her. Carol beckons her inside and she steps inside.
โOh! Billy, this is my sister, Gina,โ Tommy introduces her.
โHi, Gina,โ he purrs and extends his cigarette out for her to take.
Gina accepts it, taking a drag and tries to ignore the burning feeling on her lips. Or the fact that if her parents saw her smoking, theyโd kill her. The panic is quickly squashed by the handsome blondes icy eyes on her. Heโs even prettier this close. Heโs got a hint of a mustache, itโs mostly rough stubble but itโs clear he can grow facial hair and that rouses something in Gina.
โHi, Billy,โ she says and passes the cigarette back.
He presses two fingers to the paper bag sheโs got clutched against her chest, โWhatโs this you got?โ
โAn album.โ
โWhich one?โ he raises an eyebrow and it feels like a test. Gina hopes she passes.
She pulls the record out of the bag, displaying Rattโs Out of the Cellar for him. Billy grins wide, standing up and taking the album from her hands.
โAtta girl,โ he praises and fuck, the praise goes straight between her legs. โI love this album.โ
Gina would give anything to impress him more. He slides his thumbnail against the sleeve, slicing the cellophane open with the motion and walks over to Tommyโs record player. Carol grabs onto Ginaโs wrist and pulls her down, giving her these eyes and Gina doesnโt miss the intensity in Tommyโs eyes as he shakes his head at her. Billy plops back down on the bed, oblivious to the silent interaction the three of them had. He pulls a can of beer from the sixer and cracks it open before he hands it to Gina. She accepts it with a small thanks. Heโs got a little dangly earring and it catches on his curls. Gina has to stop herself from leaning forward and fixing it. Sheโs eager to touch him.
Billy sings along with the first track, low but Gina still hears him. She loves the sound of his voice. Itโs sexy. Sheโs so close to turning into a puddle on her brothers floor.
โDid you see Steve with the princess today? Gag me with a spoon!โ Carol gossips as she gestures gagging herself.
โI know,โ Tommy scoffs.
โWhatโs the deal with that guy?โ Billy asks, eyes trained on Gina like he expects her to answer.
Tommy sighs, โHe used to fucking run school. King Steve. Then, he stuck his dick in the priss and he changed. Manโs totally whipped.โ
โHe used to be our friend,โ Carol offers.
โEveryone was telling me about him,โ Billy replies, โSaid Iโm gunning to be the new King. Whatever the fuck that means.โ
โHeโs an asshole,โ Carol rolls her eyes. โBut you are, this town needed someone with an edge.โ
Billy snorts, eyes darting between the two girls on the floor.
โSteveโs nice,โ Gina says meekly, staring at her knees as she speaks. No matter what, she couldnโt really bare them talking bad about Steve. He was nice and well, she was still in love with him.
โWhatever,โ Tommy huffs, โHeโs different. He used to be cool.โ
โSo you like metal?โ Billy changes the subject as he nudges the toe of his boot against Ginaโs knee.
She beams up at him, โYeah.โ
โMe too,โ he smirks, biting his lip.
โCool,โ Ginaโs sure sheโs actually the lamest person heโs ever talked to. His eyes are the prettiest color sheโs ever seen. She gets lost in them while he turns his attention back to Tommy, asks him where he can find weed.
โOh, the freak, Eddie Munson,โ Tommy answers but heโs up on his feet and walks over to his dresser. The freckled boy retrieves a joint. Gina and Carol meet each other with equally annoyed expressions. Theyโd had plans for the joint.
Tommy extends it out to Billy, โBut here, you can have this in the meantime.โ
โHa, alright! Thanks man, I really appreciate it,โ he beams as he tucks the joint in his pack of Marlboros. โThink weโre best buds, now.โ
Tommy beams at the prospect, sitting down with a shrug, โAh, itโs no big deal. A welcome gift.โ
โOh,โ Gina interrupts, looking at Billy, โMy mom wanted me to ask if you wanted to stay for dinner.โ
โWish I could, darling but, I better get home before my old man does,โ the blonde says with a slight wince.
Gina stands up so sheโs out of his way, but he stands up and theyโre a little closer than Gina intended, almost nose to nose. She takes a step to the side and tucks her brown hair behind her hair, awkwardly smiling up at him. He smirks, biting his lower lip as his eyes scan her face. His gaze is pretty intimidating, she wants to crawl out of her skin from it.
โIt was nice to meet ya, Gina,โ he purrs.
Gina has to hold in the squeal threatening to escape, โYou too.โ
Once the front door shuts, letting them know Billyโs left, Tommy points to his younger sister.
โOff limits,โ he says seriously, โI like him, donโt fuck it up.โ
Gina holds up her hands defensively, โI didnโt even do anything!โ
โI saw how you looked at him,โ he argues with a tilt of his head.
โOh, stop,โ she sighs, โI donโt have a crush on him.โ
โYeah, right. I have eyes, ya know? Heโs a good looking guy,โ Tommy quips.
โYa going queer on me?โ Carol teases, โYou donโt want Gina to go after him โcause you want a chance first?โ
Tommy shoots her this flabbergasted, borderline disgusted look, โGet over here and Iโll show you how untrue that is.โ
She shuts the door behind and goes to her room, trying not to think of Billy while she gets started on her homework. Itโs a moot point. His eyes, thighs and bouncy curls flood her mind while she does her algebra.
;;;
Billyโs nice. He keeps Gina company while Tommy and Carol suck face, just like Steve used to do.
โThey always do this?โ he asks.
Gina nods, โYeah. Youโll get used to it.โ
Heโs funny, likes to people watch. Right now theyโre doing it, sitting on the hood of his Camaro at lunch. They share a cigarette and Billy points at a group of boys talking about fifteen feet away. He does funny voices while he makes up what he thinks the boys are saying.
โYouโre not sensitive enough, Toby,โ he puts on this whiny, exaggerated voice as one of the boys talks excitedly, โThatโs why you canโt get a girlfriend!โ
Gina giggles, not confident enough to join in with him but Billyโs funny enough on his own.
โShut up,โ he does the other kids voice now, โI donโt get girls because I eat my boogers.โ
Another eruption of giggles come from Gina, she shoves Billyโs shoulder and covers her face. He chuckles and snatches the smoke from her fingertips, bringing it to his lips.
โYou know those kids?โ he asks.
She nods, โI had them in all my classes in elementary school. Youโre spot on. He really does eat his boogers.โ
The older boy cackles, โYeah, he looks like he does.โ
Theyโre quiet for a beat, Billy seems to be scanning for more victims but Gina interrupts him, โAre you going to the party tonight?โ
โYeah, think so,โ he finishes the smoke and flicks it away, โDoes Tina throw bitchinโ parties?โ
โI helped plan it,โ Gina admits and then shrugs, โTheyโre usually pretty fun. All the parties around here kind of bleed together. Thereโs gonna be a keg though.โ
โYeah? You do keg stands?โ he snickers, lips pulled up in the cutest smile sheโd seen.
โI have not tried,โ Gina admits with a giggle, โI struggle enough shotgunning.โ
โIโll teach ya,โ he insists as the warning bell rings. He stands up and looks over to Gina, โSo Iโll see you tonight, then.โ
โYeah, see you there.โ
-
Gina huffs as she attempts to curl a stubborn chunk of her hair. She really needed to get another perm. Reaching for the mousse, she sprays a glob of it and scrunches her hair up with it until sheโs satisfied. She stands up and assesses her โcostumeโ, itโs just a short skirt, fishnets and a ripped up t-shirt. Sheโs not necessarily trying to get Billyโs attention but she doesnโt mind if she does.
Carol saunters into the doorway, donning a similar outfit, โAnd what are you supposed to be?โ
Gina scrunches her hair up some more, โHot.โ
โMaybe for a particular blonde with a great ass?โ
Turning to Carol, she rolls her eyes and grabs her jacket, โHeโs off-limits, remember?โ
โFuck Tommy,โ Carol snorts, โyou deserve to have some fun and he looks like he knows how to have it.โ
โHeโs so out of my league, anyways,โ Gina shrugs on her jacket and reaches for her purse.
Carol stops her, placing her hands on Ginaโs shoulders and looking at her, โThatโs so not true, Gina. Youโre totally gorgeous.โ
Her cheeks redden at the compliment, she can tell that Carol really means it. She smiles at her brothers girlfriend, โHe kind of did like give me a look in Tommyโs room, didnโt he?โ
โTotally. He was undressing you with his eyes, I say go for it,โ Carol grins.
Tommy yells from the living room, โHow long does it take to get ready?! Iโm ready to get drunk!โ
โHe sounds like he already is,โ Gina grumbles before following Carol out to Tommyโs car.
Tinaโs house is absolutely packed. Itโs a struggle for Tommy to find a spot to park on the lawn. He grumbles something about Gina taking forever and making them late.
Carol shoves his shoulder, โItโs important to be fashionably late, moron. Weโll look like losers if weโre on time. Ginaโs doing us all a favor.โ
Gina rolls her eyes, her stomach is a bit upset due to her brothers rather erratic driving. He was a little too tipsy already and sheโs hoping Carol will drive them home. Once he parks, she climbs out of the car and stands beside Carol.
โThe whole fucking school showed up,โ Gina notes, eyes scanning the front yard.
Just then, Billy comes barreling toward them before jumping on Tommyโs back. Billyโs dressed like the terminator, black fingerless gloves, a leather jacket over his shirtless torso and really tight jeans. Heโs pretty clearly tipsy and Gina wonders how long heโs been here. He jumps off Tommy, wrapping his arms around Carol and Ginaโs shoulders and guides them towards the house with a slurred, โMy favorite girls!โ
Gina tries not to focus on how close his lips are to her ear, it was like he was whispering that just for her to hear. His deep voice makes her chest and stomach tighten.
โYou ready to take the new Keg King title?โ Tommy asks, urging the group over to the side of the house where the keg is set up.
โI was born ready,โ Billy says smugly, hands on his hips as Tommy pumps the keg up.
Gina stands next to Tina and Carol to watch. She notes Tinaโs Madonna costume and smiles, โI love your costume, Tina. You look so good.โ
โThanks, babe,โ Tina smiles, raising her solo cup to the girls.
After a beat, Tina groans and tells the two other girls, โBilly is so fine.โ She gestures fanning herself, โGod, look at his abs.โ
โIsnโt he, Gina?โ Carol nudges the brunettes shoulder and winks.
โOh, shit, did you call dibs?โ Tinaโs eyes widen and Gina has to roll her eyes.
โNo, Carol just wants to live vicariously through me. Iโm not into him,โ Gina explains and sheโs met with two pairs of confused eyes.
โWhat do you mean youโre not into him?โ Tina asks, โDo you need glasses? Heโs literally sex on legs.โ
โTommy told her heโs off-limits,โ Carol snorts, โbut I say fuck him.โ
Gina shakes her head, watching as they lift Billy up and he downs the beer from the tap. She remembers watching Steve do it all those times before and her heart aches.
โIโm not interested,โ she insists.
โWellโ Iโm not gonna hold back,โ Tina smiles, biting her lip.
โGo for it,โ Gina says and hopes she doesnโt sound as bitter as she feels, โIโm gonna get myself a drink.โ
She leaves the group and wanders inside, saying hi to classmates on the way until she finds herself in the kitchen and fills herself a cup of whatever toxic concoction is filling the punch bowl. Itโs red and when she brings it to her nose, it burns her nostrils. Perfect. Gina absolutely loved alcohol. Maybe a little too much. But she had a handle on it, didnโt blackout aside from parties like this. She liked the way it burned down her throat and spread a warm, numb feeling across her chest. And Gina was pretty shy overall, she was nervous to talk to people but when she drank, the nerves slipped away and she was the biggest social butterfly on the planet. Thatโs how most of these people got to know her, she didnโt really talk to them at school. She kept close to her few friends, Tommy and Carol.
As Gina finishes her drink and pours herself another, she sees Nancy heading her way, Steve only steps behind her. Ginaโs chest aches and she quickly moves away from the punch, rounds the counter in attempts to hide from them. Sheโs successful and from where sheโs at, she can just see their torsos, the bar cabinet covers their faces. Nancy downs three cups consecutively and as sheโs getting the fourth, Steveโs hands grab to stop her. They struggle for a minute but it ends up with bright red, alcoholic juice splashed on Nancyโs white cashmere sweater. Gina winces, thereโs no way the stains coming out. Then Nancy storms off and of course, Steveโs chasing after her.
Seeing the brunette again brings all kinds of confusing feelings back for Gina. Steve had avoided parties once he and Tommy had their big fight. Sheโd only see him at school, in study hall where they sat next to each other. But these days, Steve didnโt even spare her a smile, a glanceโ anything. It was like Gina didnโt exist to him anymore. And feelings arenโt fun. So Gina wanders back outside, finds her group of friends. She wants to get wasted and forget about Steve like he forgot about her.
โSo you still wanna teach me how to properly shotgun?โ she asks Billy, the alcohol coursing through her makes her a lot less tense.
The blonde smiles wickedly at her, digging in the cooler for two cans of beer and hands one to her. He pulls out a pocket knife from his jeans and presses the blade to the aluminum, โRight here. Steady so the fucker doesnโt blow in your face andโฆโ he trails off as he punctures the can and peels it open a bit with the blade before he hands it to Gina.
She does as he says, but sheโs not as steady as he is and when she punctures the can, beer sprays out of it and all over her chin and white top. She squeals, dropping the can and looking up at Billy with her jaw hanging open.
โSee?! I suck,โ she whines and wipes her chin.
He cackles, โMaybe someone shook that can up. Here. Take this one.โ
He hands her the can he had prepped and retrieves another, repeats his fluid motions and then slips the knife back in his pocket. โโKay, youโre just gonna bring it to your lips and pull the tab. I just kind of open my throat up and guzzle. Ya ready?โ
Gina nods nervously, shaky hands bringing the punctured hole to her lips and pops the tab at the same time Billy does. Itโs super cold going down, Gina canโt drink it nearly as fast as Billy can, heโs dropping the empty aluminum to the floor in seconds and she furrows her eyebrows as she looks at him, guzzling her beer down. When she pulls it away, heโs raising his eyebrows and grinning from ear to ear, pretty pearly whites on display. Gina melts a bit. Wants Billy to look at her like that more.
โAtta girl,โ he praises and it goes straight between her legs, โYou did it.โ
She clears her throat, dropping the can as she wipes the sudsy liquid off her chin, โNot as fast as you.โ
โYeah, well, Iโm the new keg king after all,โ he winks and she giggles.
โCan I have a cigarette?โ she asks, bouncing on her feet. Billy nods, pulls his pack out and grabs a smoke, brings it to his lips and lights it before handing it to Gina. He immediately lights himself one and nods his head over to a couple of outdoor chaise lounge chairs strewn across Tinaโs front yard. Gina follows him to them, she sits down on one and fully expects Billy to take the other but he lounges on the one she takes, right between her legs and rests his head on her chest.
โItโs not like the parties back home but Iโm having fun,โ he says, looking up at Gina.
She smiles, slightly uncomfortable at his weight on her body but she doesnโt dare say anything. Heโs warm, like a heater against her chest. He reeks of booze but thereโs a hint of his cologne still there. She wonders if he feels as sticky as she does, with the beer splattered over both their chests. Itโs kind of gross but Gina didnโt want to freak out and seem uncool.
โMe too,โ she says. โthanks for teaching me how to shotgun.โ
โAhh, I have a feeling youโve done it before,โ he insists and heโs not wrong. Steve had shown her countless times but Billy doesnโt need to know that.
โNope, Iโm just good at opening my throat,โ she explains and then realizes the unintended innuendo, her eyes widening.
โOh, you are, are you?โ Billy teases, wiggling his eyebrows.
โThat sounded so wrong. I didnโt mean it like that,โ she shakes her head frantically, cheeks flushed. โI just meant, I canโ oh forget it.โ
Billy just hums, she can hear the smile in it. Sheโs successfully mortified herself. Maybe she should cool it on the booze for a while. Though, Billy puts her right at ease, tilting his head up so he can look at her. The drunken smile on his face is very, very cute. She feels warm all over, a little floaty and genuinely happy. Until her mind gets the best of her again. Gina tries not to feel insecure, but she wonders how she looks from his angle.
โWhat are the parties like in California?โ she tries to change the subject.
Billy takes a puff of his cigarette and she watches the smoke rise up and disappear, โWild. People jumping off balconies, thereโs usually live music but itโs never good. Just some assholes who think they're the next Motley Crue โcause they wear spandex and got guitars for Christmas. I used to go to punk shows a lot.โ
โPunk?โ Gina repeats, โYou donโt seem the type.โ
โAh, I love punk music. The shows are something else. You get wasted and spend hours getting your ass beat in the mosh pit. Nothing more freeing,โ he explains and sighs. โI take it thereโs none here.โ
โThey might have some at The Hideout,โ Gina offers, โBands play there a lot.โ
โAny good ones?โ
โNot any I know,โ Gina admits, though sheโs never actually been to The Hideout on account that itโs a bar.
Sheโs incredibly tempted to run her fingers through Billyโs sweaty blonde curls. She wants to know if theyโre as soft as they look or if theyโre crunchy with mousse like hers.
โMaybe I can take you to a punk show, if they have โem,โ Billy muses, sitting up and turning to face Gina.
โMaybe,โ Gina smiles warmly, butterflies filling her stomach and her toes tingle. โIt sounds like fun.โ
โYeah? Think youโd be thrashing around, knocking people out in the pit?โ Billy cackles to which Gina rolls her eyes.
โDo you miss California?โ
โNo shit. This place sucks,โ Billy snorts, โNothing to do and trust me, this party is real fucking tame.โ
Gina feels guilty, but sheโs not sure why. Itโs not her fault he hates Hawkins. Billy seems to notice her quick change in demeanor because he nudges his shoulder against hers and says, โYouโre pretty cool, though. Even if you wonโt do a keg stand.โ
โItโs a boy thing,โ Gina insists while blushing and Billy makes a confused face.
โWhat? No, itโs not a boy thing. Youโre just scared,โ he shrugs, smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.
โAm not.โ
โAre to.โ
โI just donโt think I could do it for long,โ Gina shrugs.
โWell, yeah, thereโs no way youโre beating my record. And I couldโve gone longer too, but those assholes pulled me down when I beat King Steveโs record,โ he brags with a smirk, nudging Gina with his knee.
She tries not to falter at the mention of Steve. Even through his fall of grace, everyone still talks about him all the time. Even this new guy. Itโs a little annoying. She wishes Steve would just disappear sometimes.
โOh, Iโm so sure,โ she rolls her eyes, tossing her smoke when itโs down to the filter. Billy follows suit.
He slaps his thighs before standing, โWell, I need a beer. Ya coming?โ
Gina nods, finds herself following him back to the hoard of teens surrounding the cooler. Carolโs there, getting a beer and when she sees Gina and Billy walking up together, she wiggles her eyebrows at the younger girl. Gina quickly looks around for Tommy and luckily, heโs nowhere to be found.
โWhereโd you two run off to?โ Carol inquires as she opens the beer, watching Billy retrieve two cans and handing one to Gina.
โFor a smoke,โ Billy explains, just as Tina bounces up and snakes her arm around his waist. She whispers something in his ear and he frowns, like heโs contemplating before he nods and saunters inside the house behind Tina.
Carol watches them with a disgusted look on her face before she says to Gina in a mocking tone, โBilly! Let me show you my room so I can suck you off.โ
Gina shakes her head but smiles, her heart aches a bit but she gets distracted. A familiar face with floppy hair walks passed and he looks angry. Gina eyes follow him to his BMW, where he slams the door and peels out.
โSteve seems upset,โ she mumbles softly, wanting nothing more than to be there to comfort him.
Carol snorts, โThe princess left with fucking Byers. Iโm sure heโs pissed.โ
โReally? Oh, god. Poor Steveโฆ I thought there wasnโt anything between Nancy and Jonathon,โ Gina replies, eyes finding Carol again.
โYeah, sure. Asshole is getting what he deserved. And with Nancy and Byers, I think there is,โ Carol shrugs, โCome on, letโs go dance!โ
The redhead grabs onto Ginaโs hand and pulls her inside. They dance for a bit and itโs nice. Gina forgets about Billy and Steve for the time being. She downs a few more drinks, her inhibitions fly through the window and she becomes like a totally different person. Gina floats among groups, talking everyoneโs ear that she can get ahold of off. Itโs fun. She has so much fun at parties, except she never remembers the conversations sheโs had.
Sheโs talking to someone from her English class, a boy whoโs interested in her but right now, she canโt remember his name and sheโs already asked him four times. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Billy walking towards her. Heโs hard to miss, leather jacket without a shirt and his blonde mullet is tousled, a few curls sticking up and laying the way theyโre not supposed to. He places his hands on Ginaโs hips and whispers in her ear, โSmoke?โ
Gina nods graciously at the idea. A cigarette sounds really good right now.
Billy looks to the gentleman sheโs been talking to and grins, โSorry. Iโve got to steal Miss Gina away. Hope you donโt mind, big boy.โ
He pats the guys shoulder before heโs dragging her out the back door. Tommy and Carol are outside which is a bummer, especially when Billy abruptly pulls his hands away from Ginaโs waist and tackles Tommy to the floor. They wrestle in the grass as the two girls watch them curiously.
Carol nudges her side, โHargrove was getting real handsy with you just then.โ
Gina sighs, โIโm pretty sure he and Tina just had sex. And it doesnโt matter! I donโt like him. He is very pretty, and funny, and really really nice but I donโt like him. Iโm not allowed.โ
Carol giggles, โYouโre drunk.โ
โAm not,โ Gina slurs, taking a misstep and stumbling down to her knees. โOw!โ she whines, but lays on the grass, staring up at the sky.
Billy and Tommy lay on either side of her, giggling like they canโt control themselves. And since Ginaโs also in a drunken stupor, she starts giggling too. Carol peers down at the three of them, an amused smile on her face.
โTommy, come here,โ she says, โI have something important to show you.โ
The freckled boy shoots up quickly, following his girlfriend back inside the house. Carol did it on purpose, Ginaโs sure. She wants her to spend alone time with Billy.
โSmoke,โ Billy says, hands reaching into his pocket to retrieve his pack. He lights it for her before passing it, head turned to face Gina. He looks as drunk as she feels. Perhaps itโs not a great idea to lay here next to him in such a state. Inhibitions are low and Ginaโs scared sheโll slip up and say something she shouldnโt. Or even worse, touch him.
โThank you,โ she sighs happily.
Thereโs a group of kids in the backyard with them but it feels like theyโre alone. The kids are wrapped up in a conversation, it seems intense, whatever it is. If Gina wasnโt so drunk and focused on the muscular body lying next to her, she would try to listen in.
โYou having fun?โ he asks softly.
โLoads. Iโm getting pretty sleepy, though,โ she admits, turning on her side to look at Billy. He does the same, eyes scanning her face.
โWe could crash right here. Sleep on the grass,โ Billy mumbles, a smile twitching at his lips.
Gina giggles, โThat wouldnโt be very comfy.โ
He purses his lips, โIโm pretty comfortable.โ
โWeโd freeze,โ she points out, bringing the cigarette to her lips and tilts her head to blow the smoke up.
โThatโs probably true,โ he admits and chuckles, โMaybe Tina has a blanket we could use.โ
โIโm sure sheโd just let you sleep in her bed,โ Gina says, raising an eyebrow.
Billy makes a face, frowning and furrowing his eyebrows, โYou sound jealous.โ
โIโm not,โ Gina reflects, shaking her head.
โHmm,โ Billy hums and cracks a smile, โIโm just messing with you.โ
Gina shoves his shoulder and sits up, โThey better hurry.โ
Billy sits up beside her and snatches the cigarette, โI can take you home, if you want.โ
โNo, theyโll get upset if I just left and didnโt tell them,โ Gina insists. โThanks, though.โ
โIs Tommy like super protective of you?โ Billy asks.
Gina sighs and shrugs, โSometimes? I try not to let him know my business. I think it just depends on if heโs bored or not. He beat up the first boyfriend I had in grade school.โ
โWhat? Why?โ Billy laughs.
โโCause he kissed another girl at recess and I cried,โ Gina explains with a giggle.
โIโd do the same,โ Billy muses.
โAs my first boyfriend or as Tommy?โ
โTommy. My step sisters an annoying brat but Iโd still punch any guy that hurt her,โ he explains, stubbing his cigarette out.
โHow long as sheโs been your step sister?โ Gina wonders.
Billy tilts his head, doing the math in his head, โLike four years? My dad started seeing Susan when I was 13, they got married kind of soon after.โ
Gina wonders about his mom but she doesnโt want to prod too deep. She figures if he wants to tell her, heโll do that.
โHuh,โ Gina nods, โWell thatโs sweet of you. A lot of brothers donโt care. Tommy and I have always been pretty close, though.โ
โYeah, I saw the photos in your hallway,โ Billy says, โThatโs cool. Itโd be cool to have like real siblings.โ
โOh, god, those are so embarrassing,โ Gina covers her face with her hands. She turns and looks at him, finding his comment about siblings a little odd. But she doesnโt know what itโs like to have step siblings. โSo it was just you before your dad met her mom?โ
โYeah, just me and dad for a couple years,โ he says but he sounds far away, like heโs in his head. He stands up and flicks his cigarette. Just then, Tommy and Carol come back outside.
โI think itโs about time we head out,โ Carol says, โBilly, you okay to drive?โ
Billy grins wide, โPeachy.โ Itโs a stark contrast to the stoic look he got on his face when talking about his family. Gina wants to know more because he seemed like something from his past hurt him. She canโt help but be curious, wants to know everything about him suddenly. It was like this mask fell and he was vulnerable for a second. Gina didnโt see that from men she knew. She hadnโt talked about feelings with one before but now she wants to know exactly what Billy's feeling and thinking. All of his secrets and memories.
Carol doesnโt look like she believes him so they compromise. The three of them follow Billy to Cherry Lane to make sure he gets home safe, Carol keeps repeating how impressed she is with his intoxicated driving during the ride. Cherry Lane is quite a distance away from Loch Nora and truly out of the way from where the Haganโs live but the three of them want to make sure Billyโs gets home safe.
Billy pulls up this his house, parks the Camaro and struts over to the passenger window of Tommyโs car, where Tommy is hanging outside of.
โSafe and sound,โ he says and pats the roof of the car. โSee you at school, amigo,โ he pinches the brunette boys nose, making him jolt back in his seat and swat at Billyโs hand.
โAsshole,โ Tommy mumbles behind a laugh, rubbing his nose.
Billy leans down and looks at Carol and then at Gina in the backseat, โBye, ladies.โ
โBye, Billy,โ they chime at the same time before watching him walk up to the front door, unlocking it before sneaking inside.
Carol pulls off down the street, turning around back towards the Hagan house.
Gina gushes, โBillyโs so cool.โ
โYeah,โ Tommy beams from the front seat, โHeโs fucking badass.โ
โAnd heโs so cute,โ Gina slurs dreamily and sighs.
โNo,โ Tommy scolds, โI said no.โ
Gina pouts the whole way home.
;;;
This hangover is one for the books. Gina managed to sleep a whopping four hours. Yet, she somehow managed to shower in the morning and get ready. She wore her most comfortable pair of jeans and her forest green Hawkins High sweatshirt. Her hair was a bit unruly but she already had a major headache, so a ponytail wasnโt a smart option.
When she makes it into the kitchen, she pours a glass of orange juice and sips it slowly. Her brother and Carol are eating a quick breakfast. Their parents have already left to take Bridgette to school. Which is good. Seeing her parents after a night of partying was the last thing she wanted.
Tommy still reeked of alcohol on the ride to school. And Carol drove, insisting that Tommy was still drunk.
Crazy enough, Billy looks good as new. Tight Leviโs and a white long-sleeve button up with his denim jacket. Gina tries not to drool. He leans against his Camaro, smoking a cigarette that he offers to Gina when they walk up.
She shakes her head, โI think Iโll barf if I have some.โ
โAw,โ Billy pouts and asks in a teasing tone, โHangover?โ
โYou're not?โ she asks, bewildered and he shrugs.
โI donโt get hangovers,โ he insists, taking another drag from his smoke as he looks over to her brother, probably taking note of his disheveled hair.
โIโm still drunk,โ Tommy declares with a pleased smile to which Billy cackles.
โJust wait a few hours,โ Carol snorts, โYouโll be hungover before ya know it, babe.โ
Tommy frowns, reaches in his pocket and shows them the two whiskey shooters he has, โNah, Iโm gonna ride this until I have the sweet pleasure of my bed.โ
Carol snatches the keys from Tommyโs other pocket, โIn that case.โ
Tommy doesnโt argue, he just shrugs and then snatches the cigarette from Billy. The blonde makes a face when Tommy gets close.
โYou smell like a goddamn distillery, Hagan,โ he quips and recoils back, pinching his nose.
Gina agrees, the whole drive to school was almost unbearable. Her stomach twisted and she had to focus on her breathing so she didnโt vomit from the smell of him.
โSo, you hook up with Tina?โ Tommy asks, wiggling his eyebrows and obviously trying to change the subject.
Billy smirks, shaking his head and says, โI donโt kiss and tell.โ
โSo you didnโt see her third nipple?โ Tommy asks, frowning.
Billyโs face scrunches up, โShe doesnโt have a third nipple.โ
The freckled boy cackles, โHa! So you did fuck her!โ
Gina rubs her eyes, trying to mask the very intense jealousy sheโs feeling. Carolโs laughing at Tommyโs trick but Gina canโt bring herself to. Sheโs just imagining Billy and Tina in bed and itโs making her even more sick to her stomach. She doesnโt want to feel jealous, knows she doesnโt really have a right to but she canโt help it.
โShut up,โ Billy rolls his eyes but heโs blushing, just barely. Itโs kind of alarming to see.
โSheโll tell everyone,โ Gina finally speaks up, โSo like, no point in hiding it.โ
She cringes a bit, the disdain is a little too apparent in her voice and her ears go hot at hearing herself. But sheโs not wrong. Tinaโs probably told the entire senior class already. And Hawkins is small, by the end of the day, even the middle school kids will know.
โIโm not hiding it,โ Billy scoffs, โI just think itโs lame to brag about getting laid.โ
โHm,โ Gina purses her lips, โIโm gonna head to class.โ
She hurries towards the building, hoping none of them follow her because her heads pounding and sheโs fuming with jealousy. She just wants to get the school day over with and crawl back into bed. The first four periods drag on. Particularly fourth period, which is the study hall she shares with Steve. They literally sit next to each other. If Gina leans over just enough, she can smell his shampoo. It smells like honey. She remembers shoving her face in it when they used to cuddle. Gina loved the smell of his hair and his skin.
However, that was long ago and sheโs reminded of how much their relationship has changed during class. When she looks to Steve and their eyes meet, he quickly averts them and busies himself with his homework. It makes Ginaโs heart ache. She wonders if he would just look her in the eye if things would change. Sheโd give anything to go back to how things were before Nancy Wheeler. Nothing made her feel the way she did when she was alone with Steve. He had this way of making her feel like she was the most special person. And the problem with that was how addictive it was. Gina was obsessed with Steve after the first time he kissed her and that never went away. She didnโt go a single day without thinking about him. So it stings when he acts like itโs painful to look at her.
Sheโs managed to go a whole two months of this treatment though. Today shouldnโt be any different. Itโs probably because of the dumb jealousy sheโs been harboring over Tina and Billy. A reminder of how Steve chose another woman. And well, Billy didnโt exactly choose Tina over her but she still didnโt like the thought of Billy with another woman. All throughout the day, she reminds herself how she really needs to suffocate her attraction to Billy. Nip it in the bud before she gets lovesick for two men who donโt want her.
Itโs difficult when lunch comes around. Billyโs a full fledged member of their group now. Gina stands across from him, trying not to feel the effects of her hangover while they socialize. Tommyโs rambling about something or another, Gina canโt focus and heโs clearly drank both his shots of whiskey. All his words are slurred. She thinks he mentions something about ditching his last two classes to sleep in his car.
โYouโre lucky you donโt have practice today,โ Carol points out.
Tommy waves her off, โI could still play better than Harrington, blackout or sober.โ
โCoach wants me to join,โ Billy mumbles around his cigarette.
โFucking do it!โ Tommy cheers, jumping in place.
Billy cackles, looking at the freckled boy with amusement. Everyone agrees with Tommy and they all look at Billy expectantly.
โBaseballโs my thing but basketball is fun. Iโm thinking about it,โ he explains with a shrug.
Gina kicks the toe of her Ked against his motorcycle boot and their eyes meet, โYou should.โ
โOkay,โ he smiles, โIโll talk to coach.โ
The moment between them is quickly interrupted by Tina swaying between the group of kids and sandwiching herself between Billy and Tommy. She leans her side on Billy and whispers something in his ear. The blondes eyebrows raise and he snorts, shaking his head. Gina turns her attention away, not being able to stomach the sight of them.
Samantha Danielle Mayfield finally decides to move to Hawkins with her sister and mother, as well as her mother's new husband and his arrogant son, William "Billy" Hargrove. What they are unaware of is that, gradually, these step-siblings will discover that the line between contempt and passion is more fragile than they supposed, and what begins as shared hostility turns into an intense and undeniable attraction that both find themselves unable to reject.

The rain hit the windshield with a constant rhythm, as if marking the beat of Billy's anger. The windshield wipers moved from side to side, trying to clear the view, but the storm was persistent.
Inside the car, the radio played a hard song, almost drowned out by the sound of the rain. Billy adjusted the volume, letting the strong melody fill the space. The dashboard lights shone dimly, creating an intimate atmosphere in which he was alone with his thoughts.
The air smelled of wet earth, a scent that mixed with the perfume he had chosen for the occasion. Every red light was a pause in his internal monologue, a moment to catch his breath and rehearse in his mind what he would say when he saw the girl he had charmed that night. As he drove, the deserted streets and blurry buildings became the backdrop of his adventure. The city seemed different in the rain, more mysterious, as if it held secrets that were only revealed to those who dared to explore it under the veil of water.
Billy finally arrived, parked the car, and remained silent for a moment, watching the drops slide down the window. He forgot about his date and began to brood over the bad day he had had and how his relationship with his stepsister was getting worse, feeling a slight feeling of sadness that dissipated instantly when a teenager opened the door as his neon lights pointed. She wore only red lace panties that delicately hugged her curves, along with a short lace nightgown that completely exposed her breasts. The reason for their meeting that night was evident. Billy immediately forgot about what had happened during the day, allowing a mischievous smile to form on his face.
Hurriedly, he turned the key and stepped out of the car to avoid getting wet in the rain, although it was futile, since it was impossible, but it was worth it "Who would have thought that all that heat would be in that body today?" he purred with a deep voice, wrapping his arm around the girl's waist and pushing her hips towards his so she could feel his erection, which was already present before seeing his companion that night but she had further fueled his desire
"You did well to let me know your parents wouldn't be home. You needed a babysitter, right?"
The girl simply laughed at his comment, grabbing Billy's denim jacket and pulling him into the house, closing the door behind them.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the noisy night was accompanied by the soft sound of a brush against skin. Sam stood in front of the mirror, her movements reflected in the polished surface as she meticulously applied her makeup. The dim light in the room barely revealed her figure, but her eyes reflected a fierce determination. It was the calm before the storm, the preparation for an escape that promised to be as exciting as it was dangerous.
Max watched from the slightly open door, her silhouette barely visible in the threshold "Are you sure about this?" she asked, her voice a whisper that mingled with the darkness.
Sam did not respond immediately, her unwavering concentration as she carefully traced the last eyeliner stroke "Of course, it's easy. You just have to tell them I'm sleeping and not to come into my room", she finally said, her voice full of a confidence that needed no more words.
With one last look in the mirror, Sam stood up, her straight posture defying any doubts that may have existed.
Less than half an hour later, the sound of a familiar engine began to be heard in the distance, a sign that her plan could begin. With high heels in one hand and an umbrella in the other, she carefully opened the window, trying not to make noise. Just as they opened the front door, Sam closed it.
The cold night breeze caressed her face, and a shiver ran down her spine. Despite her careful planning, she couldn't help but sigh in frustration as she felt the mud splash against her bare feet.
Around the corner, Vicki's car came into view, an oasis of fun in the midst of the rainy night. The lights inside illuminated their conspiratorial smiles. "Sammy, get in quickly!" Vicki exclaimed, while Nicole nodded enthusiastically. Sam slid into the backseat, closing the door just as a laugh escaped her lips.
"You have no idea what we have in store for tonight" Nicole began, with her typical annoying girl accent, chewing gum while the car pulled away, leaving behind Samantha's silhouette "Last year's Halloween party was epic, and Tina promised to surpass herself this year".
The excitement for the start of vacations was palpable in the air, almost as dense as the rain that had pounded the streets minutes earlier. But now, the storm had calmed, leaving a trail of shiny drops on the asphalt that reflected the lights of the town.
The three friends, enveloped in a bubble of laughter and plans, talked non-stop. Between confessions and promises of an unforgettable night, the conversation turned to how they would let themselves be carried away by the euphoria of the moment, how they would dance without inhibitions and perhaps flirt with boys under the starry sky that was beginning to appear.
The night promised to be one of those stories that would be told over and over again, each time with more details and more color, as if time embellished the memories. And as Vicki's car slid down the road, the three friends plunged into the anticipation of what was to come, a summer that could be the best of their lives.
They drove through a neighborhood adjacent to Tina's, where a residence stood out, the only one lit on the entire street. The young women chose to pass by without paying attention, absorbed in their conversation about what cassette to play next. In that same residence, Billy was immersed in a difficult task.
Everything went smoothly from the start, but preconceived notions about his stepsister resurfaced in his mind, stopping him at key moments and deeply unsettling the young man. The blonde clenched his eyelids tightly to avoid thinking about it, while executing intense movements that resonated throughout the house.
The girl called the boy, imploring him to look at her and utter words of misconduct at the same time.
(These kids these days and their strange tastes... (โแท๏ธต๏ธฃโ))
Billy thought it was a good idea, but as he opened his eyes, he thought he saw his stepsister's face in the girl, moving away precipitously, rubbing his eyes fiercely to confirm her identity.
"I have to go..." he announced suddenly, adjusting his pants while his excitement persisted. It could be said that even more... The girl was stunned, not knowing what to do or say.
Hargrove, still panting and sweat-drenched, tried to adjust his bulge, but his tight jeans didn't cooperate in those moments.
Before the girl could react completely, the boy slipped out, closing the door of the residence in her face, hurrying to his car, where anger took hold of him, hitting the steering wheel repeatedly and repeatedly honking the horn, scaring the stray cats that wandered the wet street. Seconds later, a smile returned to his face as he looked at himself in the mirror, running his fingers through his hair and checking the time again, remembering that a girl, whose name he barely remembered, was hosting a party his friends were attending. He quickly forgot about the girl and set off towards the address written on a piece of paper, located among used condom wrappers and cassettes.
He left confident, confident that he would find numerous attractive girls who had come to town for the summer, and that he could seduce with his charming rebel surfer's charm, and enjoy the company of his equally uninhibited friends.
The tires slid on the deserted streets. The engine of his car murmured softly in the quiet night. The streetlights blinked as he passed, reflecting on the hood like shooting stars. As he approached Tina's house, the music grew louder, a persistent bass that throbbed in his chest. Upon arrival , he parked with a loud screech and stepped out of the car. The house was lit up like a lighthouse, laughter and chatter floated in the air. In the front yard, his friends were huddled together, dancing shadows against the warm light emanating from the house.
"Billy, Billy!" they shouted in unison, their voices rising above the music. The bottles in their hands glistened in the moonlight as they raised their arms in a jubilant greeting. "Billy, Billy, Billy!" they sang, again and again, their words becoming a welcome anthem, a cheerful and unrestrained melody that celebrated his arrival.
The blonde responded with a smile, the warmth of the welcome mixing with the coolness of the night. These were his people, his moment, and the night had only just begun.
With a triumphant smile, Billy made his way through his friends and took the bottle of Jack Daniel's from Tommy's hands. He lifted it in a bold gesture and, without hesitation, tilted his head back, letting the amber liquid flow freely. The whiskey slipped down his throat, a warm current that promised euphoria and uninhibition. When he finished, he let out a triumphant shout, a roar that resounded with the energy of the night. A few rogue drops of Jack Daniel's escaped from the corners of his mouth, tracing a damp path down his neck and disappearing under the fabric of his t-shirt. His friends burst into laughter, the sound of their joy mixing with the music inside and the shouts of jubilation.
One of them, still laughing, handed him a cold beer. "To finish off, champ!" they encouraged him, as Billy accepted the bottle with a knowing smile. He opened it with a snap and brought the edge to his lips, ready to continue the celebration. The party was in full swing and, in just a few seconds, Billy was the undisputed protagonist of the night.
The atmosphere was electric, charged with laughter and the murmur of animated conversations. The notes of a soft and seductive song floated in the air, mingling with the bittersweet aroma of beer. They had spent an hour talking about their conquests and academic failures, each anecdote more hilarious than the last. The night was young and the possibilities, endless.
With high spirits fueled by alcohol and camaraderie, they decided to venture into the heart of the party. The house, lit up with dim lights and decorated with colorful garlands, vibrated to the rhythm of the music. As they entered, their bodies began to move almost instinctively, letting themselves be carried away by the melody that promised more than just a dance. That's when he saw her. A silhouette that immediately captured his attention, a girl who danced with the same passion and grace as the slow and sensual song that played. Her hair moved in waves to the rhythm of the music, and although he could only see her back, there was something about her posture that irresistibly drew him in. Surrounded by friends, she was the center of a whirlwind of laughter and fluid movements. With determined but gentle steps, he began to approach. Every step was a beat of the song, every movement a line of the story that was about to be written. The distance shortened and the anticipation grew; he was about to enter the orbit of the unknown, ready to join the dance and discover where the night would take them.
With determined steps, he approached the brunette, letting the music envelop them in its seductive melody. His compliments flowed naturally, expressing his admiration for her skillful movements. With a bold gesture, he slipped his arm smoothly around the girl's waist, feeling the curve of her back under his touch as he pulled her closer to him. The closeness was intoxicating; Billy's hips fit perfectly against the girl's back, forming an intimate connection that moved to the hypnotic rhythm of the song. Every movement was a sensual dance, an improvised choreography that enveloped them in an aura of irresistible attraction. Initially, the girl seemed to tense up, ready to push him away abruptly, but as she felt Billy's firm grip and noticed his athletic physique pressing against her, her reaction changed. Although she still couldn't see him, the sensation of his muscled arm clinging to her, his toned torso against her stomach, and his deep voice resonating in her ear, sparked a spark of intrigue and excitement in her. Moreover, the effect of alcohol clouded her inhibitions, causing worries and doubts to fade into the mist of the party. In that state of disregard and euphoria, she decided to go with the flow, allowing the chemistry of the moment to envelop them in a dance of desire and mutual attraction.
Through the haze of the drink, one of her friends watched every move, although their minds were not entirely clear. The other, with a playful smile, leaned against the other and murmured something unintelligible, but clearly amused. The friend turned and laughed, completely oblivious to her friend's confusion. The stranger with whom she was dancing led her with confidence. The friends, in their alcoholic state, began to speculate with knowing looks and comments between laughs. "Who is that hunk?" one asked, while another replied with an exaggerated shrug. Finally, when the song ended, the expressions of the friends went from amusement to astonishment. "It's Billy!" they exclaimed in unison, their voices rising above the music.
With every move, Billy drew closer to the unknown girl. His hands, skillful and determined, gently roamed the contours of her body as his lips delicately explored the exposed skin of her neck. The touch of his lips sent shivers down the girl's spine, who let herself be carried away by the exhilarating sensation of the moment.
Without warning, Hargrove took the initiative and spun the girl around, pulling her towards him with a fiery impulse. Their kiss was like a spark that ignited desire in both of them, a fire that threatened to consume them completely. Billy's hand slid firmly to rest on the curve of the girl's hip, while his other hand gently clung to her nape, intensifying the contact between their bodies. The sound of the girl's laughter whispered in Billy's ear, causing a mischievous smile to form on his lips. They separated briefly, but their gazes remained connected, charged with complicity and desire. However, when they finally recognized each other, a mix of surprise and complication took hold of their faces, breaking the spell of the magical moment they had shared.
hi, i've never posted a fic and what i wrote might seem strange and unusual, so i wanted to give an explanation beforehand. i happened to read that one page from the stranger things book, max's book to be exact, it was the scene where neil abused billy with a belt and something in me broke and what i wrote was like a knee-jerk reaction to that. it's not really a romantic setting, i think it ended up being gender neutral too (but not 100% sure), i just needed to find a way to make billy less lonely. anyways, i hope there's at least one person who will enjoy it and relate to it.
My finger slid across the different boxes on the shelf. My eyes eventually landed on the one with the sale sign hanging below it. The store was quiet except for the low buzzing of the fluorescent lights. It was getting late.
I heard a bell announcing someoneโs arrival. The cold air wrapped around my body like a blanket and I shivered. As I entered another aisle, my eyes fell on Billy Hargrove.
Our paths rarely crossed, yet his sight was uncomfortably familiar. Back in high school, he always made sure to be obnoxious enough to be noticed by everyone. He was loud and bold. Liked showing off his body even in the most inappropriate places and despite the dreadful weather, as if he was rebelling against Hawkins for the sake of it. He liked being intimidating and feared. He liked being admired.
All of that used to make an impression, until the thin veil of bullshit dropped and I saw the nasty truth.
Not long after graduation, when I was walking down Cherry Lane, I saw him carrying a big box out of the back door of his house. I wouldnโt pay much attention if it wasnโt for his father, who was walking closely behind him, pushing him to go faster. When Billy tripped and the box fell with a loud clash, I stopped. I wasnโt planning on helping โ it was sheer curiosity more than anything else.
Before even a thought could pass my mind, his fatherโs booming voice rang in my ears. His mouth danced around the word โuselessโ like he was used to it, like it was his favorite word and saying it caused him great pleasure. I wanted to scowl and move on, telling myself that it was none of my business, but a pained noise made me freeze. A heavy boot collided with Billyโs ribs once, twice, three times and I felt every kick in my own body. His father spat on him, yelled a few more offensive words and left. I saw Billy push himself up until he was on his hands and knees. His head hung low as he took a few deep breaths. I didnโt know what I should do, or if I should even do anything at all. Billy, however, decided for me, because when he raised his head, his cold eyes pierced through mine and I knew I shouldnโt get close.
In that position on the ground, he seemed like a wounded animal, glaring at me silently. I felt like an intruder. I looked away and forced my feet to start moving again. I walked, but it was harder now, slower, because of the heavy guilt that kept weighing on my shoulders.
After that day, I saw him everywhere. It was like I was being punished for what I did. Or didnโt do. His sight alone always brought back the shame and the guilt.
Right now he was browsing the medicine shelf. He picked up the aspirin and then put it back down. He pulled out a crumpled five dollar bill out of his pocket and looked at it like it was offending him. He also looked different. His hair was gathered in a bun, and instead of his usual showy outfit, he was clothed in sweatpants, a plain t-shirt and a red plaid shirt thrown on top of it. It hung loose on him, too, and it was dripping wet. I looked outside the window, where the heavy November rain was wreaking havoc. He eventually stuffed the money back into his pocket and put the bottle down. He huffed, irritated, and stormed out of the store.
I bit my lip nervously. I quickly grabbed the aspirin and made my way to the checkout. When I went outside, I saw him walking slowly down the street. He wasnโt in a hurry, like there was nowhere he was supposed to be in this nasty weather. His figure illuminated by the street lamps seemed small.
I chased him down and stopped in front of him, successfully cutting him off. I pushed the bottle of aspirin into his hand. He furrowed his brow and looked confused for a second, before his features were clouded by anger.
โI donโt need fucking charity,โ he spat.
โTake it or donโt, I donโt give a shit.โ Lies.
Billy has been all I could think about. Every time I saw him in public with his father, my heart sank. It was easy to miss โ the light shoves, the way Billy never really looked him in the eye. Whenever I saw him, my mind immediately recalled the image of Billy on his lawn. It was burned into my brain and it paired well with the pang of guilt somewhere in my chest.
He also seemed to remember this moment well, because whenever he spotted me in town, his body tensed and he turned his head away. We never actually talked, but his posture was a warning in itself.
Billy clenched his jaw, but his hand tightened on the bottle. The dim orange light couldnโt hide his swollen eye and a bruised cheekbone. He opened the bottle and took out three pills. I dug in my shopping bag for a water bottle, which I passed it to him. This time he accepted it without any biting remarks. My gaze flickered down to his hands and one look at his clean knuckles told me everything I needed to know. He swallowed the pills.
โCโmon, Iโll give you a lift,โ I said and pushed past him to go get into my car.
I half expected him to just leave and not look back, maybe flip me off as a goodbye, but to my surprise he slipped into the passenger seat next to me. I took in his face which scrunched up in pain for a second, but he schooled it very fast. The raindrops slid down his cheek.
Billy didnโt seem like the person who could simply accept help. It wasnโt taught to him. His pride got in the way too. His whole body was stiff, like he was ready to bolt any second. Like he was still on the verge of making his final decision. However, these last gruelling months have taught me that he also had a strong survival instinct. If he did something uncharacteristic โ he did it out of pure need.
โSo what, you just pity me? Is that it?โ His voice was low and quiet. There was a layer of anger to it. This situation was taking away his control and he didnโt like that.
โNo,โ I replied, starting the engine and pulling out onto the road. โI pity your dad.โ
โFor having a useless son?โ He asked louder now. The cool mask of anger was cracking, allowing the anxiety to seep through. From the corner of my eye I could see the end of his sleeve gripped tightly in his hand. I flinched at the word. It was now my least favorite word.
โFor being a braindead pissbucket.โ I spat. โI believe itโs incurable.โ
I risked a quick glance at him and found him staring at me like I grew a second head. He snorted loudly and turned towards the window, a smile playing on his lips. I felt a bit lighter now that he was slightly less tense.
โDo you want me toโฆโ I hesitated, knowing I was about to bring his mood down, โdrop you off at home?โ
He didnโt reply, but he shook his head, still looking out the window. I clenched my jaw, eyes fixed firmly on the road. He was out late in the pouring rain in the middle of November wearing these damn rags. He clearly walked for a while and he didnโt have his car. I wondered briefly if his father would be above kicking him out of the house for the night. I didnโt ask where to take him, because I had a feeling he didnโt have anywhere to go.
After ten minutes of silence I pulled up to my driveway.
I got out of the car and leaned down to look at Billy. โCโmon.โ There was no point in asking. I let him make his decision based on what he really needed right now. He followed me without a word.
I opened the door and pushed him inside first. The pleasant warmth of the house made me sigh in relief. I took off my jacket and shoes, and looked at Billy, who was currently leaving a small puddle on the floor. I walked up to him and gently slid the dripping plaid shirt off of his shoulders. I was going to put it on the radiator in the kitchen, but something caught my eye. His white shirt had splashes of red all over his back. My heart stopped and the shirt slipped out of my hands. No. No, no, no.
โBilly?โ My voice sounded weak and uncertain.
โYeah?โ
โYouโreโฆ Youโre hurt,โ I said, eyes glued to the blood stains.
He tensed immediately. He didnโt reply and I was worried I saw too much. The most he had hoped for was probably just the painkillers and a place to crash. He didnโt actually plan on letting me in and now I accidentally stepped into his personal space. I was too close to the issue and I knew it scared him.
โItโs fine,โ he said in a defensive tone. โDonโt worry about it.โ
I could just let it go. In fact thatโs what I shouldโve done.
But then I felt it again. It creeped upon my shoulders slowly just to crush me all at once. The guilt. It didnโt let me move. It didnโt let me breathe. After that the panic started to set in. I let him suffer for so long.
I grabbed his hand, led him into the kitchen and made him sit in a chair. I pulled the first aid kit out of the cabinet and I saw it in his eyes. The flash of anger and betrayal, but I have already made my decision.
โTake your shirt off,โ I said in a serious tone. โPlease,โ I added quietly.
I expected him to put up a fight or at least make a suggestive joke, but he didnโt. He knew there was no use. The curtain was ripped away a long time ago and he had to accept that. But it was clear that he had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that someone knew the truth.
He gripped the hem of his t-shirt and started pulling it up, but halfway through he made a pained noise and let out a frustrated sigh. I grabbed the shirt for him and gently pulled it off.
When my eyes landed on his back, I felt dizzy. His tan skin was littered with angry red welts. The bruises were slowly blooming all over his back and the skin was broken in places. My first instinct was to ask him if he was hit by a car, but I knew better. And then I saw a few deep red squares that made me sick. The belt buckle.
โJesus,โ I breathed, before I could stop myself. I reeled back horrified. Iโve never seen anyone hurt this badly. I tried not to overreact โ I had a feeling he would just run if I did. I suppressed my rising panic and closed my eyes for a second. It didnโt help much, the image already burned behind my eyelids. โIโm gonna clean it up, is that okay?โ I asked, full of hesitation. I wasnโt sure how to even approach this without making him upset or ashamed. He was in a very vulnerable position, which could trigger his fight or flight response.
He didnโt reply, but he did give me a quick nod.
Feeling slightly relieved, I took out a cloth, dampened it and gently pressed it against his skin, trying to clean the dried blood away to see the wounds clearly. He flinched, but stayed quiet. I had to resist the urge to just take my hand away, so that I wouldnโt cause him any more pain, but this had to be done.
I drenched a gauze in an antiseptic and with a light hand started to disinfect the injuries. That did get a hiss and a muted fuck out of him, which I tried my hardest to ignore. Looking at his massacred back up close was making me lightheaded.
How could someone do this to another person? To their own kid?
The shame I felt was shattering. I knew. I knew this whole time and I failed him. My mind was cruel enough to make me feel like I was the one holding the belt.
I tried to be quick with the antiseptic, because his body felt like a tightly wound up string, ready to snap at any moment. I looked at the pile of bloodied gauzes and felt nauseous.
I took a few clean ones and covered the wounds, and then secured them with some medical tape. It looked a bit ridiculous and not professional at all, but the aesthetics didnโt matter right now. After I was done, Billy didnโt say anything. He wasnโt really moving either. I could only imagine what was going through his head right now.
I sat down in front of him to check how he was doing and I was met with a very hard image to take. He wasnโt crying. His head was hanging low and he was staring at the floor. His eyes were eerily hollow. Emotionless. There was no dramatic reaction, no sobbing, no fighting. Just acceptance.
I put away the first aid kit and cleaned up the used supplies.
โAny cracked ribs?โ I asked standing awkwardly next to him. He shook his head without looking at me.
I was conflicted. I didnโt feel like I had the right to act like his friend now, but leaving him alone was not even an option. I looked at him sitting there. His body wasnโt as muscular as it used to be, he looked thinner. When he was hunched over like that, his skin stretched over his ribs grotesquely. He seemed to be a shell of the Hawkins High king he once was. All of his friends who used to worship him left the town. He was alone.
I put the kettle on and prepared some hot tea to warm him up. He didnโt even move, didnโt speak. He was lost in thought. I put two mugs on the table and sat down in front of him.
I wasnโt certain if I should say anything, but when I looked at him my heart broke. I saw my hand reach out involuntarily and cover his. It was cold. His head snapped up and he looked at me surprised.
โIโฆ Iโm sorry, Billy. Iโm sorry for what I did.โ
He seemed confused. โWhat did you do?โ
โI pretended like I didnโt see it. I acted like I didnโt know.โ
He looked down again and shook his head. โItโs not your job to help. I manage on my own.โ
I squeezed his hand lightly.
โI know weโre not friends, butโฆ I donโt want you to be on your own anymore. If you let me, Iโll be there for you. With you.โ
The look he gave me was indescribable. His brows were drawn gently like he didnโt quite understand what I was saying.ย The feeling of support was so alien to Billy he wasnโt sure how to react. I wanted him to know that if he shared this burden, it would get a bit lighter. He didnโt have carry it alone anymore.
He didnโt sob or open up immediately. He did not pour his feelings out to me. He sat there quietly for a long time, but I could see that there was no anger or fear darkening his beautiful face anymore. He was weighing his options, thinking carefully about the secret he has kept for so long. He was now forced to confront it, to look this monster in the eye and call it by its name. He had to acknowledge his pain, really feel it instead of burying it deep under his skin.
The yellow overhead light in my kitchen betrayed Billy and I caught the glimpse of how glassy his eyes were. He didnโt let the tears fall. He didnโt even let his voice break.
summery : Billy finds out about your cuts on your arms, and tries to talk about it.
TW's โ selfharm, depression
โMASTERLISTโ
The peculiarity of depression is that it has a bottom. Stone bottom. And finding that bottom โ is like a hidden blessing.
When you reach that bottom, it won't get any worse. Life is as shitty as it gets. It feels like you should stay down and just wallow in this suffering, but you find a reason to fight.
You always find a reason to fight, no matter how hard it is.
Whether it's the parents you're fighting for, maybe it's a pet, a friend, or maybe just for the sake of finding out what's going to happen tomorrow. But you're fighting. You're always fighting.
However, lately it has been harder than usual.
โ Hi, Y/N. Are you going to take something for the weekend? โ Steve greeted you when you walked through the front door of the Family Video store.
He leaned against the counter and looked bored out of his mind, and you smiled brightly before approaching him.
โ No, I'm just returning it.
You handed over the tapes of Risky Business, Free, and Return of the Jedi that your family rented last week.
โ Wow, I never knew you liked such a wide selection of films. โ he commented, looking through the notes.
โ Well, I'm full of surprises, Harrington. โ you responded with a smile that you knew didn't touch your eyes.
Steve's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked at you, seeing through everything.
โ Are you all right? โ he asked, his voice soft but serious, and you nodded. โ Y/N..
โ I'm fine. I promise.
It was clear that Steve knew whats wrong. You've been best friends since third grade. There are some secrets that you haven't told each other. Steve knew you better than anyone, but he didn't know about the scars on your thighs or the fresh cuts under your sleeve. The bell on the door rang when another customer entered the store, without giving Steve the opportunity to ask any more questions.
โ Hello. โ Steve shouted, looking over your shoulder at the customer.
โ Harrington.
You froze, instantly recognizing that voice. It was Billy Hargrove. You and Billy have been dating for months. At first, Steve didn't like it too much, he was like a brother when it came to you. But he and Billy didn't fight anymore, not like they used to. They weren't real friends either, but they put up with each other for you. Billy was a nice guy. On the outside he behaved like a real macho and rude, but on the inside? He had a heart of gold. He wasn't like anyone you've ever met, but lately you've been avoiding him. You didn't want Billy to see you like this.
Of course, you could pretend. Having depicted a radiant smile, laugh, joke and pretend that everything was fine. You've been doing this for years, but you've just been so exhausted. It was easier to avoid him than to pretend that everything was fine. Taking a deep breath, you hid your expression and turned around to see Billy coming through the door, his face lit up when he noticed you.
โ Hey, Princess.
โ Hi, Billy.
He came up to you, cupped your face with his palm before gently kissing you. For the first time all week, you found yourself smiling sincerely, responding to his kiss.
โ I haven't seen you lately. โ he said, pulling away from you, his hand on your shoulder. โ You're not avoiding me, are you?
โ No, no, no. Of course not. There's just some shit going on. I was busy.
You felt that Steve was watching you warily from behind the counter, but you focused your attention on Billy.
โ Are you sure? What is it? โ he asked hesitantly. โ If I did something..
โ Billy, you didn't do anything wrong. โ you insisted, knowing how worried he was about some things like this. โ I was just busy.
He didn't seem to believe you, and you knew he'd try to change the subject. But you weren't in the mood to talk about it. So, you turned back to Steve, who quickly looked away, acting as if he wasn't watching everything that was happening. You rolled your eyes and pointed at the tapes on the counter.
โ I just came to return them. Have a nice day, Steve.
โ You too.
You looked back at Billy and smiled gently at him.
โ I have to go. See you later.
Without waiting for an answer, you turned around and left the store, heading straight to your car parked at the entrance.
โ Y/N, wait. โ Billy shouted, and suddenly his hand grabbed your wrist, stopping you.
You let out a pained hiss when his fingers grabbed your sleeve. The fresh cuts beneath them throbbed with pain, and you were pretty sure one of them had started bleeding again.
โ Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay? โ What is it? โ he asked, instantly releasing her. โ Damn, I didn't mean to hurt you. I am so sorry.
He didn't grab you hard that hard. If it weren't for the cuts, it wouldn't hurt at all. Billy may be known in the city for his cruelty and anger, but he has never shown cruelty in your presence. In any case, he was too gentle, always afraid that he might accidentally hurt you, despite the fact that you constantly assured him that you were not some fragile piece of glass. Although right now it was exactly what you were feeling. A fragile piece of glass. The glass that had already cracked and was damaged and was ready to shatter at the slightest touch.
โ Are you okay?
You realized that you hadn't answered for too long and nodded quickly.
โ Yes, yes. I am well.
You knew your voice sounded unconvincing, but you gave him a reassuring smile anyway. Billy looked at you for a moment with his bright blue eyes full of concern.
โ Why are you wearing a hoodie? It's about 28 degrees celsius here.
Fuck.
โ Uh, I spent most of the day at home. I didn't think it was so hot here. โ you lied easily with a shrug.
Billy didn't say anything for a few seconds, his eyes dropped to your sleeves before an awkward expression appeared on him.
โ Show me your hands.
โ What?
โ Your hands. Show me your hands. โ he repeated, taking a step forward.
โ Uh, no. โ you said, taking a step back at the same time. โ why?
โ Please, just show me your hands.
You held his gaze as he raised his eyebrows impatiently before lifting the sleeve of his right arm, which you knew was bare.
โ Here. Are you happy now? โ you asked, pulling your sleeve back down. โ I have to go.
โ Your other hand. โ he said quickly before you could leave. โ Show me your other hand.
โ Billy, I love you, but not now.
โ Y/N.
โNo. โ you snapped, hating the way your voice cracked when you blinked away the tears burning in your eyes.
Damn it, why were you on the verge of tears? Haven't you cried enough in the last few days?
โ Is everything all right here? โ Steve's patronizing voice suddenly rang out.
He was standing in the doorway of the store, holding the door with his foot and looking from the two of us to you.
โ Fuck off, Harrington. Billy growled. Steve crossed his arms over his chest and glared at him, forcing Billy to straighten up and look back at him.
โ It's all right. I was just about to leave.
You were relieved to hear that your voice sounded almost normal, not wanting them to fight before you turned around and climbed into the car.
***
The trip to the quarry was like a fog, both figuratively and literally, because the tears did not stop pouring. You parked the car and got out, taking a deep, convulsive breath of fresh air before leaning against the hood, admiring the quarry in front of you. Now that you were sitting in the sun, it was hot outside, so you pulled the hoodie over your head and put it on your lap with a heavy sigh.
The cuts along the inside of your arm were now visible when you looked down in disgust. The skin was covered with a mixture of fresh and old cuts, some healed and scarred, others were bright red and still bleeding sluggishly. You covered your wrist with your hand and squeezed, rejoicing in the pain when the fresh cuts started to sting, but it wasn't enough. The pocket knife in your jeans seemed to burn the fabric before you reached into your pocket and pulled it out. Your hands were shaking when you pulled out the blade. Dried blood was still staining the stainless steel when you pressed the tip of the blade to the unhealed area of skin on your wrist.
Tears started to burn your eyes when you cut the skin as if it was oil. Bright scarlet blood instantly came out and flowed onto the hoodie on your lap. You watched the drops fall. The cut stung when fresh air blew on it, and you closed your eyes, trying to calm down. The pain has chained you to the ground. It was totally fucked up, you knew it was totally fucked up, but you couldn't stop. It was the only way you knew how to handle everything. You needed it. You needed physical pain to drown out everything else, because during those few seconds when that blade touched your skin, your mind was calm. You didn't think about anything else, you didn't feel anything else, and you liked it.
That's how you realized that you really screwed up because you liked it. You really liked the pain.
The sound of the car door opening brought you out of your reverie. You turned your head towards the noise so fast that you almost got whipped when you saw Billy getting out of his Camaro.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck
You put the knife back in your pocket and pressed the inside of your hand against the hoodie lying on your lap, trying to hide the blood and cuts.
Billy came up to you, and you turned away, staring at the quarry, wishing he would just leave.
โ Y/N..
โ Please, just leave. โ you said, barely recognizing your own voice.
โ And leave you here cutting yourself? โ he asked bluntly.
Yes. That's what you thought. But, nevertheless, you didn't say it out loud. And Billy didn't leave. Suddenly his hand was on your shoulder, making you flinch, not realizing how close he was.
โ How did you know I was here? โ you asked, breaking the silence.
โ Steve said you like to come here when you want to be alone.
Well, he didn't listen to the part where it said "alone." You looked up at him, but he wasn't looking at you, his wide-open eyes were glued to your hand, which you tried to hide, but clearly not very well. You looked down again, and there was no mistaking the crimson spots that had soaked into the fabric.
โ How long? What is it? โ he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. โ How long have you been cutting yourself? Days? Weeks?
โ Longer.
You didn't look at him when you spoke, not wanting to see the disappointment and pity on his face.
โ Damn it. โ he whispered to himself.
Billy let you go, you no longer felt his touch on your shoulder and fought the urge to reach out and not let him go. Instead, you raised your hands and buried your face in your palms, trying to hold back tears. You listened carefully for footsteps on the gravel, but you didn't hear anything. There were a few seconds of silence before Billy snorted loudly and leaned against the hood of your car next to you.
โ Princess, look at me.
You expected to hear that he would be furious, that he would be angry or furious, but he didn't. His voice sounded almost sad.
โ Please. Fuck, please, Y/N, look at me. โ he was practically begging.
Reluctantly, you took your hands away from your face and looked at him with tear-stained eyes, and you had to double-check when you saw that his own eyes were glistening with unshed tears. Seeing that Billy was about to cry, that was something. A furious sob escaped your lips as you cried, and Billy's expression changed.
โ I'm sorry.. Please don't hate me.
Billy's arm instantly wrapped around your back, lay on your waist and pulled you to him, which made you cry even harder when you snuggled up to him.
โ No, no, honey. I don't hate you. I could never hate you. โ he insisted, hugging you tightly.
โ I'm sorry. I'm.. I'm so sorry. โ you whimpered, burying your face in his chest.
โ Hey, hey. Listen, it's okay. It's okay.
He gently kissed the top of your head and just hugged you while you were crying. Eventually Billy dropped his hand, and you sniffed, sat up and rubbed your face with trembling hands, trying to calm down. He stripped off his leather jacket before pulling off his white tank top, revealing the upper part of his sturdy body, still kissed by the California sun. He quickly pulled his jacket back on, not bothering to zip it up before grabbing your hand, causing you to frown in confusion before you realized what he was trying to do. Billy stopped for a second when he got a good look at the inside of your arm for the first time. A soft sigh escaped his lips, and you fought the urge to pull your hand away from him. It was too late. He had already seen it, the damage had been done.
โ Fucking hell.. โ he swore softly under his breath.
He pressed the shirt to the deepest cut. The one you just made was still bleeding slowly, instantly turning the white material dark red. None of you said anything while you were sitting there, Billy's hand was squeezing your hand along with your shirt, while you were looking at the quarry, the sun was starting to set over the horizon. Billy was looking down at your hand with a frown on his face, which was better. A frown was better than tears. You could put up with Billy being mad at you. Anger that you could handle.
โ Have you cleaned 'em? โ Billy asked.
His question caught you off guard when you blinked and looked at him, his gaze was fixed on your hand.
โ What?
โ Have you cleaned them? I don't want you to have any infection.
He was worried that it might lead to infection. It didn't even occur to you, but it should have, but it didn't happen. Your silence was enough for an answer, and Billy sighed before wrapping the T-shirt around your arm and tying it so that it was securely fastened.
โ My dad is not at home, and I have a first aid kit in my room. Come on, let's get everything in order. โ he said, pushing off from your car and stretching out his hand to you. โ Come on.
You stared at his hand for a moment before shaking your head.
โ It doesn't matter. โ you whispered, looking at the ground. โ I don't care if there is an infection.
โ Well, I fucking care.
โ You don't have to help. โ you muttered softly, staring at the stone on the ground as if he had personally insulted you, instead of meeting Billy's gaze. โ I mean, look at me. I fucked up.
โ You didn't fuck up.
You giggled almost hysterically and shook your head.
โ I know i did. I fucked up. I'm broken, Billy, and I... I can't be changed. I know that, I mean, who does something like that? And do you know what the real mistake really is? To me. I'm loving it. I like the pain and I know I need to stop, but it's the only thing that helps. This pain. The pain helps, but I don't...
โ Hey, hey, breathe. Just breathe. โ Billy said quickly, and you realized you weren't really breathing.
You couldn't breathe. Damn, you couldn't fucking breathe. Deep down, you were aware that it was a kind of panic attack. But this information did absolutely nothing to help, because you unsuccessfully tried to get air into your lungs.
โ It's okay, just breathe. Copy my breath. โ he said, grabbing your good hand and placing it on his bare chest, taking deep and measured breaths. โ Just repeat after me, okay? Take a deep breath. and a deep exhale.
You were looking at his necklace, focusing on the gold pendant, and imitating his breathing. Billy continued to help you regain your breath, your eyes were glued to the pendant, and after a few minutes your breathing slowly began to even out. He pressed your hand to his chest, not showing the slightest intention of letting go of it, until you looked away from his necklace, meeting his gaze with his beautiful blue eyes.
โ Im so sorry. โ you sighed. โ You don't... you don't have to help. Just go away. Im so sorry.
You took your hand off his chest and fiddled with the fabric around his wrist, too afraid to look at him when silent tears flowed down your cheeks.
โ It doesn't change how much I love you. Y/N, hey, hey. Honey, look at me.
When you didn't move, he raised his hand, taking you by the chin with his thumb and forefinger, and gently lifted your head until you were forced to look at him.
โ I'm serious. It doesn't change anything. I'm sorry I didn't realize how much it hurt you. When you started avoiding me, I thought I had done something wrong, so I gave you some space. I didn't understand. Fuck, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
โ I didn't want you to know.
โ Why?
You shrugged when Billy sighed, cupped your face in his hands and gently wiped away the tears with his thumb.
โ I love you, Y/N. And the next time you feel the same way, don't push me away. I want to help, let me help you.
You just nodded, not trusting your voice at the moment when a new wave of tears washed over you because of Billy's kindness, causing his expression to soften before he took you in his arms.
โ I just want you to be okay. โ he whispered, gently kissing you on the forehead. โ I love you so much, Princess.

Here you go๐๐
Warning: 18+, sexual content.
Dragging yourself to the kitchen, the full moon's leftovers from a restless night still haunt you. As soon as you got home earlier, you laid down on the couch to get a few minutes of rest. Surprise surprise, that turned into a solid hour nap. You hate leaving the dishes in the sink, so as soon as you see them you start washing them before preparing dinner later.
-Babe?
-In here! โ you answer, rubbing your forehead with your arm. A lock of hair falls on your face and you blow it away.
Billy enters the kitchen and puts the house keys in the bowl, his eyes on you. -Hey.
You give him a tired smile, rinse a breakfast bowl under water, and place it on the dish rack. -Sorry, I forgot to wash the breakfast things. When I got home I just had to sit on the couch for a bit but fell asleep. I was exhausted.
Billy comes up to you as you rub a dish with the sponge. -Not a big deal. Leave it here, Iโll do it later.
-Iโm almost done.
You sigh as he turns off the tap, resting a hand on your arm. -It's Friday. Iโll do it. Just cโmere.
You grab the towel he holds out to you, drying your hands. You turn towards him, finding yourself trapped between the kitchen counter and his body. His blue eyes roam over your face. He has a spot of motor oil on his cheekbone, which you brush away with your thumb.
-Whatโs going on? Dโyou have a bad day? โ he asks as his fingers graze the skin of your hip under your shirt.
-No, no. Just...just a long one, thatโs all.
Billy hums. He moves closer and kisses the corner of your mouth as his lips linger there, his mustache teasing you deliciously. You can smell the faint scent of cigarettes in his kiss.
-Alright. Let's get you in the bath. Relax a bit', huh? - he asks, his big hand goes up your back and wraps itself around the back of your neck, warm and reassuring.
A bath sounds like a good idea.
A few minutes later, your body sinks in the bathtub as you let the warmth of the hot water envelop you. The bubbles shimmer like iridescent jewels. The rhythmic sound of their bursting orchestrates a gentle melody.
-Aren't you coming? โ you ask Billy.
He is sitting to your left, his arms resting against the edge of the tub. He reaches out a hand and brushes your lips with his thumb.
-I thought you wanted to be alone for a while.
You shake your head, kissing his thumb. Billy gets the message and stands up, undressing. When he sits behind you and grabs your hips, drawing you closer to him, you lean your back against his chest with a satisfied hum. His hands rest against your belly. You never cease to be amazed at how your bodies contrast with each other. His golden skin seems even more tanned against your fair one. Your legs trapped between his are small.
Wrapped in the warmth of his body and the warm water, you let out a long sigh trying to ignore the tension in your shoulders. You try to disconnect yourself from thoughts of work. It's no use at the moment.
-You need to stop worrying so much, y'know. - Billy says at one point. His thumbs draw circles on your belly, which relaxes your nerves a little.ย
-I know. It's just...there's so much to do. I don't even know if it's gonna work.
You just opened a coffee shop in Hawkins. Things are going well so far, but there's still so much to do. Robin and Max are a great help. Taking care of the marketing and branding part has taken a lot of work, and you all really want this business to work. You are finishing up the recipes and adjusting some aspects of the interior design, but the pressure is a lot.
-Donโt be so negative. The foodโs great. Have I tried it or not?
-Yeah...
He nudges your jaw with his nose. -And what did I say? Like the pancakes, what did I say when I ate those pancakes? You know I'm always straight-up with you, especially with this stuff.
You hum in acknowledgment, folding your left leg and resting it against his muscular thigh. -You loved them.
-That's right. I'm not the only one. When you guys gave Eddie one of those blueberry muffins? Man, he cleaned up the whole tray.
You let out a laugh at the memory of that episode.
-You worry too much. S'gonna be great.
-You're right. - you murmur, feeling tingles spread through your belly as his hands creep further up.
-Now you just need to relax. - his breath brushes your ear as his thumbs grazes your nipples, which immediately stiffen under his touch. -Yeah?
You nod, his thumbs sending direct signals between your legs as he rolls your nipples between them.
-Let me take care of ya.
A gasp leaves your lips as you feel his fingers graze the petals of your sex. His hand is big enough to cup it entirely. It is as if an electric shock is going through your body. You can feel the blood rushing down there as all of your nerves wake up from his touch. He knows your body by heart, knows exactly how to touch you, what gets you squirming for him. You had a couple boyfriends before him, but none of them was able to touch you like him. Not even close. And it wasnโt a matter of time either, because Billy got you gushing all over his hand the first time he touched you in that parking lot a year ago. His finger rubs your clit in slow circles, you can feel the wetness build up no matter the water surrounding you. You instinctively arch your back, seeking contact with his hand.
-You're so eager, aren't you? - Billy reprimands you as he bites your ear, slowing down his movements. -Are you gonna be good and stop moving?
-Huh huh. โ you bite your lower lip as you strain to relax back against his torso.
You feel his hard length pressing against your lower back, and it only increases the need for release. His fingers are spread to each side of your labia, and he begins to slowly massage you up and down, your throbbing, hardened clit rubbing against the palm of his hand.
-Mh, yes. - you whisper with a gasp at his touch.
The water around his arm has cleared from the foam and you can see his large hand rubbing you, turning you on even more. His other hand is on your left breast, playing with your nipple poking out of the water.
He pants against your ear as he brushes your slit with his middle index finger and you automatically twitch with the need to feel him pushing inside your hole.
-Such a greedy pussy. - he rumbles. Then his words cut through you in his slow, accusing tone. -Can you feel how wet you are?
-Mh, just need it so bad...
-What do you need, baby? - he asks, knowing fully well what you want as he circles your entrance with his finger. Waiting for you to say the word.
-Your fingers. โ you breathe out, and it takes all of you not to thrust your hips forward and swallow his finger.
-Where do you need 'em?
You feel your cheeks burning. You have always been shy. Billy is the opposite of you. Has always been. Heโs all cheeky and uninhibited and doesnโt care if he falls into the vulgar. And he demands the same from you. You can't escape him.
-In my pussy. - you whisper, and he hums in appreciation, his voice rumbles against his chest.
-Atta girl.
He pushes his finger inside you, filling you to the brim. You gasp, tilting your head back, feeling the metal of his ring against your labia, waiting for him to start moving. And when he does, you let a low moan. You instinctively pull your right leg out of the water so that your calf rests on the edge of the tub to be spread for him and give him more access, water dripping onto the floor from your foot.
-Yeah, just like that. Open wide, baby. - Billy whispers, and almost pulls out his finger to add another one, tearing a high-pitched groan from you.
You lift your head from his chest, watching in rapture as his big fingers move in and out of you in the water, the heel of his hand against your pubis. The air in the bathroom is hot and humid, your body is on fire. A drop of sweat slides down you temple. You never want it to end, but at the same time, you feel the burning need to release.
-More. - you whisper, resting your head back against his shoulder. You move your hips to meet his movements, but as soon as you do Billy pulls out his fingers.
Your sex contracts around nothing. You feel frustration rising in you and youโre about to say something but Billy wraps his hand around your throat.
-What did I say? - he murmurs, his lips against your skin.
His voice is a warning in itself. If you move, he gives you nothing.
-Sorry. It just feels so good. Please, Billy.
You turn your head meeting his blue eyes, begging him with your gaze. You press your lips against his for good measure. Billy grunts, his tongue finding yours as he lightly tightens his hand around your throat. The pleasure and slight adrenaline of the gesture mingle, causing a shiver to run down your spine. His eyes lock into yours as he slowly pushes his three fingers inside you. Your eyes flutter as he fills you again. You feel him increase his pace and you no longer contain the sounds that leave your mouth, your breath mixing with his. Then he curls his fingers and hits the spongy skin inside you, and something uncomfortable mixed with something beyond pleasure makes you close your eyes. Your leg begins to ache from its position against the edge of the tub, but you can't bring yourself to care, desperate as you are for the release. Your hips though, start to move on their own again, meeting his fingers urgently.
-God, yes ... ah ...
And just like that, he pulls out his fingers again.
You turn to look at him, frowning in dismay. Billy shakes his head, his hand slowly rubbing your swollen sex. -You're not listening.
-Iโll listen! I promise. I won't move. Just, please... - you moan, straining not to move against his teasing hand.
His fingers linger on your swollen labia. -What a brat. - then he roughly pushes his fingers inside you, without warning.
You cry out against his mouth and he silences you with his lips. His tongue follows the movement of his fingers and you almost roll your eyes at how erotic and overwhelming all of this is.
-Can you stay put baby? Want me to make you cum? Huh? - he asks, curling his fingers inside you.
You answer with a noncommittal sound, your toes curling every time his fingers apply pressure against that patch of skin. You feel yourself reaching the end quickly, feeling like youโre sliding down towards the edge of a ravine with alarming speed.
Billy tightens his grip around your throat, forcing you to open your eyes. He looks at you under his long dark lashes with a certain hunger. -Want you to watch me when I make this pussy come.
-Huh huh. โ you nod eagerly, your nose brushing against his. -Please, yes.
Your legs start shaking as he keeps hitting that sweet spot, the familiar warmth in your belly starts spreading until you can't take it anymore and you cry out, contracting violently around his fingers, your flesh pulsing rhythmically, your eyes nearly crossing from the intense and long pleasure, so good it almost hurts.
-Yeah, such a good girl. - he whispers, his fingers moving gently inside you as you ride out your orgasm. Your legs give out as you loll your head to the side against his chin, your eyes fluttering shut, feeling utterly spent. Billy kisses your forehead, his hand now gentle around your throat, his thumb caressing your jaw.ย -You did so well for me.
You just let out a sigh, feeling lulled by the warmth of his body and the smell of his cologne surrounding you, feeling at home.

*********
Billy's POV
I walk outside and I see a little envelope sticking through the fence. My heart speeds up and I walk a little faster. I quickly tear it open and see her delicate handwriting.ย Cursive. Shit.
Too fancy for me but I slide down my back against the fence and squint to read her small handwriting.
****
Dear Billy,
I was happy to get your letter. I'm sorry for disappearing. I am okay. Is your eye better? I hope so. Your letter caught me by surprise. It made me feel happy. I don't feel that a lot. So, thank you. Write back soon.
Your friend from the other side of the fence,
Josephine.
****
Josephine. It's even prettier. I made her feel happy. Billy Hargrove made someone happy. And someone made Billy Hargrove feel happy.ย What the fuck is going on?
There's that care again. Jo, asking about my eye.ย Maybe I'm not delusional.
I stand quickly and dust the dirt off of my jeans. I head inside and straight to my room trying to avoid him at all costs. I light a cigarette as I put pen to paper.ย And there it began. Our friendship.ย ย My first real friendship.ย Little by little we learned about each other.
She asked me questions about me. My favorite things. How I was doing. My life in general.ย And for some reason, I told her. I was honest.ย But it started to feel fake. I wasn't being fake but it didn't sound like Billy Hargrove.
Not everyone's preconceived notions about me anyways. She wouldn't like the real me.
The hardest letter I ever wrote to Jo:
****
I need you to know, Josephine. I'm not a good person. I'm angry. I fight a lot. I drink a lot. I cuss too much and I smoke a pack a day.. at least. I'm so fucking angry. But I don't feel that way when I write to you. I feel calm. I feel at peace. But I don't want you to have some fake image of me built up in your head. I'm not good, Jo. I'm not a good person.
Billy
****
I waited for her reply anxiously. I thought maybe she wasn't going to reply. Every day I checked the spot. It was empty.ย I fucked up. I pushed her away. I was too honest.
Then finally, I saw it. Placed in between the wooden posts. I lit a cigarette and prepared for the worst. I held the envelope in my hand for what felt like hours.ย Fucking open it, Billy.
****
My dear Billy,
Anger doesn't make you a bad person. You have every right to be angry. You make me feel good. You make me feel happy. You brighten my life more than anyone ever has. Could a bad person do that? I don't believe so. Everybody has their faults. Please don't be so hard on yourself. I like you. Even the rough parts. I have bad parts too.
Your Jo (I hope that's okay.)
****
I was overwhelmed with a sense of relief. She didn't hate me. I didn't push her away. And I was completely honest with her.
My Jo. It's more than okay, baby.
I began to open up to Josephine. All the crazy thoughts I have, I let them pour out to her. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I can't see her. It's not face to face. Normally I would have been embarrassed. Or thought I was being a pussy. But it felt good. And she wasn't judging me.
Billy the fucking poet. But it felt different when I wrote to her. I was able to slow down my thoughts, not just spit out whatever smartass remark was always on my tongue.ย I could tell her what I was really feeling. On my bad days, I wrote a little more. Sometimes on my worst days, I didn't write at all.
Her letters were scarce. Only coming twice a week.ย But her words were always beautiful. Well spoken and kind.ย Sometimes I'd have three written by the time I got hers.When I asked her why she avoided the question.ย Come on, Josephine. Let me in.
I opened up to her and she opened up to me, a little at a time. Though I know she's still hiding things.
She doesn't like to talk about her stepdad much. But there was one letter that stood out. Two words.ย The Monster.
What has he done to my Jo?
*****
Josephine's POV
Letter after letter. Thought after thought. Feeling after feeling. I poured my heart out to the boy on the other side of the fence. I didn't tell him everything but I told him when I was having extra bad days.
He told me when he was feeling down. He told me he wasn't good. I knew that wasn't true. I wanted to help him see that he was good.
Billy became a safe place for me to land. I didn't have to talk to my tree as much, though I still did. I told her all about Billy.
In one letter he called me sweetheart. I felt a flutter in my heart that I'd never experienced. I wanted to be his Jo. And I told him that. He responded in the next letter with "your Billy." I cried reading it.
In one of his letters he mentioned wanting to help me. I want that more than anything but there's nothing he can do.ย I want to see him.ย I tell him that regularly even though I know I can't.
Today I sat against my tree and opened Romeo and Juliet. I've read it now three times cover to cover. This time with Billy's letter was a small flower pressed flat in the pages. It was beautiful. I wonder if he thinks I'm beautiful.
I think he is. I didn't get to see him for long but his face is burned into my brain. I picture him sometimes at night when I close my eyes. Lately I've been having other feelings about him. Feelings that make me ashamed. Feelings that make me feel guilty.
I want to ask him if he's ever had sex. If it felt good. It's supposed to, right? I had a dream about Billy. I woke up feeling tingly. I'm confused. And scared. And curious. Maybe one day I'll ask him.
I leave the flower in its place, not wanting to destroy it. I decide I'll keep it forever. He ends up sending more. Little ones here and there. I have quite the collection of them now. They're my favorite thing.
*******
A few weeks later, I got another letter. Billy says he has an idea. It was dangerous. But maybe it could work.
****
You won't be able to see me but you can hear me. And I can hear you. What do you think, Jo?
Your Billy
****
I think yes. I think my heart might explode. I think I'd give anything to see those eyes again but for now.. hearing him will have to suffice.
