(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is it Billy again?" Nancy raises a brow as she hears honking outside her house, looking at (y/n) who looked at her sheepishly.

"Maybe..."

"He's been picking you up and dropping you off a lot lately. At school too..."

"Yeah, I don't know why either." (y/n) shrugs, packing up her stuff after a long night of studying again at Nancy's place after school. She has been studying with Nancy for the last couple of weeks almost every day and at every possible chance, finally being able to catch up with all the students for all her classes.

Nancy quickly catches (y/n) before she left, not having a good feeling. "(y/n)-"

"-Nancy, I'll be fine."

"I know but just be careful around him, please." (y/n) frowns at her words. "You know what he's like and all the rumors-"

"-are not always true. They're cheap gossip Nancy and most of them can be false. He's a good guy, really. He may not show it at school but I know he's a good guy. I have no reason to believe otherwise and so far, he hasn't given me one."

"Ok, I trust you and if you trust him, then I won't worry as much but you know I will." (y/n) chuckles as Nancy takes her downstairs.

"I know, you get worried for every little thing."

"Can you blame me?" (y/n) yells out goodbye to the Wheelers, all of them yelling back bye as well. "Also, are you coming to the Halloween party tomorrow at Tina's?"

"Oh hell yeah! I need to chill after spending this whole fucking month just catching up!" (y/n) groans out as she puts on her shoes and walks out of the house with Nancy following her. Billy was continuously honking, obviously annoyed from how long (y/n) was taking her sweet ass time. "WAIT FOR A FUCKING MINUTE MAN!" she yells out over his loud music before looking at Nancy who had her eyes wide and jaw open from the scene that took over a few seconds back. She would've thought Billy would do something but he just sits in his car.

"He-"

"-now Nancy, promise me you will speak to Steve tomorrow... about Barbara... I don't want you bottling all this up anymore." the girls had a serious talk like they did every night during their study breaks, about how Nancy felt so trapped and guilty for what happened and (y/n) being there to comfort her.

"I know... but he just says to pretend..."

"Well, you shouldn't if it's hurting you like this. Tell him that. He needs to understand your feelings about this." Nancy sighs and nods, hugging (y/n).

"You're right... thank you so much (y/n)."

"It's no problem." (y/n) squeezes Nancy back before letting her go, stepping backwards to start walking towards Billy's car. "You know you can always talk to me."

"I know (y/n), thank you."

"Also thanks for literally tutoring me in every single class!" (y/n) yells out as she runs across the street, Billy opening the door for her and she jumps in. He immediately drives off once the door closes and (y/n) scrambles to put the seatbelt on. "You could wait until I get this on ya know." Billy just smirks and (y/n) stretches in her seat, yawning out.

"You're studying later and later than usual."

"Yeah, hopefully not anymore. This whole month has been actual shit."

"Can't be all fucked. I know for a record that my presence made things so much better in this shithole." Billy says and (y/n) snorts lightly at his remark.
