Chapter 17: Anger

I don't like writing things that don't contain Billy, so it's kind of shit right now -Author

TW: Abuse & Cursing

Recap:

"It's fine, it's not like we can change the past anyway," I stated as I looked around, I then turned towards Nancy "We can start over I suppose,"

Nancy chuckles "That would be nice,"

"Hey!" I see Max peering through the door "They want to talk to you Y/N,"

Present:

Y/N's POV:

"What's up?" I raised my eyebrows

"You said you have elemental powers right?" Hopper asks

"Yeah?" I questioned what they were talking about

"Okay. We need you to burn the tunnel," Hopper states "You probably have fire powers or something right-"

"Hold up. Hold up," I stopped him "The tunnel?"

"Yes, it'll provide a distraction so El can close the gate," Dustin states "They'll walkie-talkie you to give a signal to light the place up,"

"Okay...So who's walkie-talkie can I use to borrow?" I asked and looked at the kids, Dustin then handed me his walkie-talkie "And location?"

"Merrills Pumpkin Patch," Hopper states "And you might want to bring a mask or something, there's like these spores things,"

I nodded, took a nearby cloth, and tucked it into my pockets. Everyone, except Steve, Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Max, got onto their vehicles to drive off. I then hopped onto my motorcycle and started to head to Merrills Pumpkin Patch to distract Demodogs and light the tunnel on fire based on their signal. I listened to my surroundings, every detail, I can hear Joyce, I can hear Steve talking to the kids. I hear a blue Camaro driving up to the Byers' house? Billy? I stopped driving and I continued to listen.

"Am I dreaming or is that you Harrington?" Billy speaks

"Yeah it's me, don't cream your pants," Steve says

"Well, shit..." I muttered under my breath and drove back towards the Byers' house, I got to the Byer's house and I hear things breaking and shattering "Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit,"

I entered the house and I see Billy punching Steve onto the floor. I quickly ran towards Billy and pulled him on Steve. I then hold Billy back to prevent him from beating Steve.

"Billy! Billy! Calm down!" I tell him, what happened to him? He was so happy earlier...

Earlier:

Billy's POV:

I got home and I was ready to get to bed when I hear a knock on my bedroom door. It then reveals Susan and my father.

"What's wrong?" I asked him

"Why don't you tell us?" my dad says

"Because I don't know," I protested

"We can't find Maxine," Susan answers

"And her window is open," my dad states, angrily asking "Where is she?"

"I dunno," I argue

"You don't know?" my dad was taken aback, he then chuckles lightly

"Look! I don't know. I'm sure she went to the arcade or something. I'm sure she's fine," I scoffed and went back into my room

"You...Were suppose to watch her," my dad argues back

"I know dad, I was. But you guys were three hours late and I had a date tonight. I'm sorry, okay?" I tell him

"So that's why you must smell like sweat...Hung out with another whore?" my father asks

"Don't you dare call Y/N a whore!" I yelled back "I've been looking after her all week dad. She wants to run off, then that's her problem, alright? She's 13 years old she doesn't need a full-time babysitter. And she's not my sister!"

I turned off the music and then my dad slammed me against my shelf. I breathed heavily.

"What did we talk about?" my dad, I stayed silent as he punched me in the face, he then turns my face back to him "What. Did. We talk about?"

"Respect and responsibility," I muttered

"That is right. Now, apologies to Susan," he tells me, I was hesitant at first

"I'm sorry Susan," I tell her

"It's okay Neil...Really," Susan protested

"No! It's not okay! Nothing about his behavior is okay," he says pointing and me "But he's going to make up for it. He's going to find his sister...Like the good kind respecting brother he is...Isn't that right Billy? Isn't that right!"

"Yes sir..." I croaked out, my dad sighed heavily and leaned toward me 

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you,"

"Yes sir," I said sternly

"Find Max," he then turns around and exits my room

Present:

Y/N's POV:

"Billy stop!" I tell him as I pull him off of Steve, he then looks at me and chuckles

"So what now? You're helping the person that ignored you instead of the person who helped you?" he asks and walks toward me

"Billy stop it..." I tell him as he looks down at me

"Or what? You're going to use those powers on me and kill me? Like that man?" he asks, I continued to look at him

"I would never hurt you, Billy..." I tell him, and he chuckles again "Please, this is something related to another dimension, they need my powers to help save this one. I don't care whether you beat up Harrington, but you cannot hurt these kids. You know you cannot beat me..."

I then used my powers and reached up some vine leaves from beneath the house and grabbed onto his arm and legs. He struggled to get rid of them. I then walked toward him.

"You bitch!" he yells, Max then stabbed him with a needle, and he looks at her "What the hell is this? Shit, what did you do..."

I then let go, and the vines returned to the ground and Billy fell onto the ground. He was chuckling very loudly.

"You know Y/N...I really liked you...Like really really liked you," he says, I then bent down towards him "But you're nothing but a bitch...traitor..."

He then faints. I held my tears back. I wiped my eyes. I then turned my attention towards the kids, and a slightly unconscious Steve.

"I'll be back, make sure Billy is okay," I tell them, I then barged out of the house and got onto my motorcycle
