Word count: 829

Monday. Billy groaned as he woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. Ugh billy's hand reached to turn it off click! He squinted to the sunlight that spread across the whole room. He lifted his heavy head that felt weak and dizzy. He sat on the edge of the bed checking out his scars and bruises across his arms and body. Slowly healing they still look busted from everything that went past him.. like when he got beat by Neil.

"YOUR SO USELESS" "FAG" "BITCH-PUSSY" "DUMB IDIOT" "MISTAKE" "DIE" "STFU" "MOTHERFUCKER" "THIS IS GOING TO BE YOUR LAST DAY" "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" "THATS WHAT I THOUGHT"

The words ringed in his head. He acted weird for the past 5 days at home and at school. People were shocked when he wore a hoodie to school even Steve glared at him, wondering and worrying (for sure). he acted quiet, he would barely talk to anyone especially Steve. Frowning, he slowly got up with his back sore and bruised. He couldn't walk right, he'd stumble, Though He still walked to the bathroom. Washing up, he felt the cold breeze tickle his face. He looked directly at the mirror. fag? Motherfucker? Useless? Bitch? Pussy? Idiot? Stupid?..

He thought while doing his curly, dirty-blonde hair. He heard quiet music beaming next to the door. It goes like..

Running up that road, Running that hill, running up that buil-ding~

Max leaned over to see what was billy up to. "Hey, you alright?" Billy nodded not saying anything weird right? Max nodded back and left leaving billy alone with himself.

The big blue eyes staring at its self on the mirror started giving a dull look. His beautiful curls was on his cute face. He was wearing a long shirt with a pair of black pants. I should get dressed he thought to himself like he always does.

He slowly took his eyes of his and looked where the door was and stepped slowly to the door. Once he reached there, he headed to his next destination, his bedroom. He glanced at the room and stepped forward directly at the bright room.

Step.. step.... step.. step.... step.. step.... step..

He held the door handle with one hand, peeking to see his closet. Still limping he stepped to his closet and opened it. He picked a pair of tight jeans, a shirt but along with a dark blue hoodie. It's not that cold that cold outside it was about 20°. Neil just left to the shops. Billy put his hands around his shirt and lifted it up slowly trying to ignore the pain. Shaking, he slides the new shirt on along with his hoodie. The same with the shorts and jeans.

He melted Max in the living room "alright let's go" he began and finished. "Finally!" She said that everyday when she wanted to go somewhere. She chuckled and so did billy, he gave her a warm smile. This isn't him, it's the nice part of him. They walked together, Max sitting on the passenger seat and billy on the driver's seat.

He started the camaro relaxing his head. "Hey can we turn the radio on?" Max smiled. "Sure" Billy gave a simply response. She turned on the radio and listened to the music that flowed out I'm still standing, better than I ever did, looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid. I'm still standing after all this time picking up the peices of my life without you on my mind.

I'm still standing (yeah,yeah,yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah,yeah,yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah,yeah,yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah,yeah,yeah)

Max bobbed her head to the beat while billy adjusted his smile. He liked seeing her when she was happy with him, it made him proud. Max realised why he was acting all like this. How did I just notice it now!? God I'm so stupid. She remembers him getting home almost knocked out, yelling at Neil letting it all out.

Neil was angrier than ever, dragged billy to his bedroom, grabbed him collar and started spitting his words out. Neil swung and swung, chocked and chocked, kicked and kicked, pulled and pulled. He knocked out billy to the ground. And there were 2 more times were Neil gave him a worse punishment (they happened before billy started acting out of colour.) Though Neil punched billy almost everyday, it never hurt like this.

Billy looked tired and Shaky when he parked in the parking lot. He opened the car door and got out, trying to stand up stand he slammed the door and saw Max doing the same thing. He already seen Max leave a bit earlier than him. Pulled a box. Pulled out a cigarette from it and lit it up leaving smoke float in the air. He smoked outside for a while before he headed inside...
