CH9 - The Gate [PT2]

"No one tells me what to do!" Billy yelled at him as he headbutted him. Steve fell to the floor and Billy walked over to him and started punching him on the ground. All the kids are yelling at him to stop. I suddenly got an idea. I ran over to the anesthesia shot that were for Will. I grabbed one that had some it in, ran over to Billy and injected him in the neck. Billy stopped and turned around to me and stood up. He started walking to me.

"The hell is this? You little bitch, what did you do? What did you do?" He asked as he fell over on the ground and started laughing. Max walked over to Billy with the nail-bat in her hands.

"From here on out, you leave me and my friends alone. Do you understand?" She told him.

"Screw you." He told her as she hit the bat onto the floor, near his groin.

"Say you understand! Say it! Say it!" She yelled at him.

"I understand." He grumbled.

"What?"

"I understand." He said louder as he began to pass out. Max went to his pocket and grabbed his keys.

"Let's get out of here." She said as I ran over to Steve.

"Steve? Steve, are you awake?" I asked him with my voice sounding crackly. He groaned and laid there. His face looked like it had been to hell and back. That's when I remembered I was punched in the face. I moved my hand up to it and felt blood. I lightly touched my nose and felt pain. I guess all the adrenaline made me not feel it. I could feel how hot my throat was also, I was gonna feel it later though. "He's alive, he's just out cold." I told the kids as I stood up.

"Jeez, are you okay Y/n? You have a broken nose." Mike said to me.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Are we still doing the plan?" I asked them as they looked at each other.

"Yeah, we just need supplies." Mike said as he started to list out the things we needed. "Bandanas, cloths, goggles, a lighter, and gas." He said.

"Well, then let's go look for all of it then." I said and all of us went to search. Not long passes as we finish finding everything. We stuffed everything in the trunk of Billy's car.

"Mike, help me with Steve." I told him as they all looked at me. "We aren't leaving him just because he didn't approve of the plan. Now come on." I told him as he followed me inside.

"He's gonna freak out, and it'll be your fault." He told me as we walked over to Steve.

"Grab his legs." I said as I crouched down to grab his shoulders. I looked at Mike and counted down to three, and we both lifted him. We slowly carried him out of the door and to the car. We put him in the back seat. "Hand me the keys." I said to Max.

"No, I'll drive while you watch Steve to make sure he doesn't freak out." She told me.

"Do you even know how to drive?" I asked her

"Yes, technically. I drove in a parking lot." She said as I actually considered it. I sighed.

"Fine. But if we wreck, it's your fault." I said sitting in the left side as Mike sat to the left of me, and Dustin sat to the right of me, while Lucas sat up front directing Max where to go. We moved Steve's lower half in the floorboard as his head rested in my lap. Dustin handed me an ice pack to hold on Steve's head. We have been driving for a little while, and I noticed Steve's eyes open and I looked down at him.

"Jonathan?" He asked me as I looked at him confused. He reached his hand towards his broken nose.

"No, don't touch it, Steve." I told him as I moved his hand away from his face. He looked over to Dustin.
