Make a deal With God

"Crap" I said pausing the movie. "I was supposed to call Billy" I said grabbing my phone. Steve sighed.

"Billy, yeah sorry lost track of time" I said. He sighed. "I'm coming over" he said hanging up. "You gotta leave" I told Steve. "Billy stays here sometimes and he doesn't like you" I said panicking. "Yeah I know, listen, just don't push me away any more okay" Steve said heading for the door. I nodded and he left.  20mins later Billy was on my porch.  "What was so important" he said.

I told him, everything.  "And that's where your brother is, and your friend " he said and I nodded. "Jesus and I thought my life was fucked" he sighed. "Billy, my life's about to get a lot more complicated I understand now if you wanna bail" I told him and he grabbed my hand. "I'm the best at dealing with complications, I ain't leaving" he smiled

Billy picked me up for school the next morning. I  met up with Steve. He had his arm around Nancy.
"So wheres Billy?" She asked. .  I sighed  "angela" was all I said.   My eyes however landed back on Eddie.  "Don't even entertain the idea" Steve said. "I can do as I please" I said and walked over to him.

"Hey there angel, what can I do for you" he greeted. I looked back toward Steve then over to Billy. "I have a big favor to ask" I said. "Use me as you please sweetheart" he said smiling. I grabbed his hand and he grabbed his lunch box. I pulled him toward parking lot. "Van's over there" he pointed taking charge to pull me along. He opened the door and I climbed in. I looked at the school door and watched as Billy ran out.

"I take it you don't wanna hang here" Eddie chuckled. "We can go to mine" he offered and I nodded. "Boyfriend troubles" he asked as he was driving. "Hes not my boyfriend" I said "I don't mean to pry angel but what was that favor you needed" Eddie asked pulling up to a trailer. "I have a few things I'd like to forget and I heard you can make that happen" I said. We went inside and he opened the lunch box. My eyes grew wide.

"What are you into angel" he asked  "got anything that will put me to sleep" I asked. He dug around. "Dexedrine" he said "treats adha and narcolepsy, should help" he said handing me the pill and some water.

"You can chill here if you want" he said taking me to his room. "Don't worry I won't take advantage" he said sincerely. I ended up falling asleep in his arms listening to some metal music playing. "Hey you gotta wake up, it's late" he said Softly. "I'd love for you to stay but your parents will probably worry" he said and I jumped up. "I didn't tell hopper I'd be out I have to be home by 9" I said looking at the clock.
"I can get you home angel" he said handing me my backpack.

We pulled into the drive and I didn't see hoppers car but sure enough the door swung open. "Get in the house Lou" Hopper ordered. I thanked Eddie and did as I was told. I watched out the window as he drove away.  The door slammed. "9pm means 9pm" Hopper said. "I know, I'm sorry" I said not wanting to drag this out. "And with Munson none the less, Lou what the hell" he said just then the back door opened and in walked a little girl. "Who the hell is that?" I questioned. Hopper stumbled over his words. Just then Mike, Lucas and Dustin came stumbling in. "We can explain" Dustin said.  "Save it, I'm leaving" I said. I've had enough excitement. "Lou" Hopper said. "No, you said you'd find will and barb, yet instead you've found her" I said. The girl looked up. "Will" she repeated. "You know him" she said.

"Hes her baby brother" Mike answered.  The girl looked down. "I'm sorry" she said. I was confused. I left and began walking down the road when I heard a vehicle. "Trouble at home angel" Eddie called.  I hopped in his van. "Just drive please" I said and he obliged.

We got back to his trailer but I didn't move. Instead I rambled. I told him everything. From Steve to will and now this girl in hoppers house. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. "Well best I can offer is companionship and a place to crash"
