Rainbow in the dark.

9.

Quick little authors note:
So I'm gonna be changing my writing style slightly. When there's a conversation between y/n and Eddie I'm not going to keep specifying who said what because it's annoying to write and I personally feel like it's boring to read. Instead I'm going to make y/ns parts written normally and Eddie's parts written in bold. Also if there's a third person involved in the conversation that speaks a lot their parts will be written in italic. I'll try this out for a few chapters but if you guys don't like it let me know and I'll go back to how it was before.

TW: Domestic violence.

Eddie was frantically looking between y/n and the window. The panic on his face was building with every second that passed.

"Y/n, please go to my room and shut the door!"

"Why?! Eddie what's going on?!"

"Y/n please. Just go! I'll explain in..."

Before Eddie could even finish his sentence the trailer door slammed open. As soon as y/n saw who was on the other side they froze.

"Well, well, well... you really thought you could hide from me?"

It was Billy. Y/n couldn't speak, they couldn't even breathe. Billy's face was red with rage. He spoke through gritted teeth and his pupils were dilated. Y/n had seen Billy angry before. They had even been the outlet for his rage on multiple occasions. But this was different. This was way more intense anger than they'd ever seen.

Eddie could see y/ns body language change.

"Dude, get out of my house."

Billy turned to him and laughed in his face. " you call this crap pile a house?"

Billy only looked at Eddie for as long as it took him to speak before turning his attention directly back to y/n. He moved right in front of y/n and towered above them looking down. Y/n didn't look up, they couldn't.

"And you. Look at the state of you, you're a mess. Doesn't take a genius to figure out what you've been doing."

Y/n finally managed to take a deep breath.

"What I do isn't any of your concern anymore."

Billy rolled his eyes and laughed behind his teeth. His rage had multiplied by what y/n had just said. He looked directly into their eyes before lunging forward and grabbing them by their shirt. Billy held them there for just a moment, taking in their whimpers and panicked breaths. He laughed a second time before shoving and pinning them against the wall behind them.

"It will ALWAYS be my business. You're mine."

Y/ns whimpers had now evolved into full on crying. They were trying the get away but it was no use. Billy was far too strong.

"Get the fuck off of them!"

Without letting go, Billy turned to Eddie.

Eddie was panicking now. There was no way he'd win this fight if it came down to it. He slowly reached behind him and took grip on the lamp on the table, ready to smash it on Billy's head if he tried coming at him. But he didn't need to.

Billy's hands finally released from y/ns shirt and his arms dropped to his side. He just stood there. Frozen.

Y/n gasped for air and dropped to the ground.

Eddie crept slowly toward Billy before poking him lightly. Nothing. He waved a hand in his face. Still nothing.

"Come on man this isn't funny, just go."

Still. Nothing.

Y/n finally managed to steady their breathing. Placing their hands on the floor they pushed themselves up and walked over towards Eddie.

"Billy?"

His eyes were white. As though they had rolled to the back of his head.

"Hey, wake up!!"

"Eddie what's going on?!"

"Billy! What the fuck?!"

"Eddie I don't like this..."

Before Eddie could say anything else, the lights in the trailer started to flicker.

"What the..."

But that wasn't all. Y/n had noticed something else. Pulling on Eddie's arm to get him to look back at billy.

"Eddie..."

He turned back around to see Billy still frozen, but this time his feet weren't touching the floor. He was levitating.

"Holy shit."

By this point Eddie was practically slapping Billy. Trying to do anything he could to wake him. But it was no use.

Suddenly, Billy flew up and crashed onto the ceiling forcing y/n and Eddie to fall backwards onto the floor. The couldn't even speak. Billy's body started shaking slightly, before one of his arms snapped. Then the other. Then his legs. And his jaw. And finally his eyes. It was as though they had been sucked inside his brain.  Finally, his body came crashing down to the floor. Y/n just screamed.

"Fuck. What the.... What the fuck!!!!"

Eddie quickly got up from the ground and tried to pull y/n up with him but they wouldn't budged. They just sat there, crying and screaming.

"Y/n we have to get out of here!"

"Come on. Please. We need to go!"

"We... we can't... we can't just leave him..."

"We are not staying here!"

"But.. Billy... he's..."

"He's gone... and we need to get away from here. I need to get you away from whatever just happened."

"I... I can't."

"Fine. Then I'll carry you out."

Without another second Eddie threw y/n over his shoulder and ran out of the trailer. He ripped open the door to his van and threw y/n inside before doing the same himself and immediately driving away.

After a few moments silence. Y/n spoke.

"Where are we gonna go?"

"I know a place we can go, I can keep you safe there."

"But..."

"Y/n I know you don't trust people, but right now I really need you to try and trust me. Please"

Eddie could tell they were starting to panic again. He reached out and placed his hand on y/ns which were in their lap.

"Just breathe. I've got you."
