"everything's ok now princess"

i curled up in like six different blankets and laid on my bed as i heard footsteps coming up. "princess?" i heard billy's voice from outside the door. "it's open" i said, as he walked in with a plate of food. "your mom made you some food" he said as he sat down on the edge of my bed with it. "i'm not hungry." i'm mumbled from underneath my blankets. "princess, please eat. you haven't eaten in two days. you're starting to scare me." he said sitting the food on my beside table before kneeling down in front of me. "please..?" he asked again before i sat up. i looked at the food and grabbed it.

after i finished eating my mom yelled at me from downstairs saying it was important. i got up wrapping my arms around billy's neck as he carried me downstairs. "hop.? why're you here?" i asked as i got down. "just wanted to inform you that tommy's in prison for killing someone earlier today. he also has charges of rape, sexual abuse and drugging all on a minor." hopper said, smiling slightly. i felt tears fall from my eyes and before i knew it i was hugging hopper. "thank you. thank you so much hopper." i said into his chest. "don't worry about it kid, you've been through a lot and he deserves to rot in hell." hopper said. i eventually let go of him and watched as he drove away.

the next day at school people stared at me as i walked down the hall, and some girl came up to me and billy asking if tommy had really raped me. billy started to tell her to fuck off before i stopped him. "yes he did. i was 15 while he was 18. he drugged me at one of his parties and sexually abused me as well." i said, trying not to tear up. the girl hugged me to my surprise, and i hugged her back. "i'm so so sorry." she said. we talked for a while before the bell rang, but it was my first class so me and billy decided to skip and go smoke.

"everything's ok now princess. he's gone" billy said as he hugged me. i eventually ended up crying.

summer break came sooner than we expected, and me and billy were always together. everything was great. i was doing better, i wasn't worried about tommy anymore. i had everything i wanted. an amazing boyfriend who cares and protected me, a stupidly great brother, and a bunch of 13 and 14 year olds as my best friends.

"princess?" billy said as we laid on my roof looking at the stars. "hm?" i said, still tracing the stars with my finger. i knew where this was going. he was leaving for college next month. i hated it. "so uh, i'm leaving for california a lot sooner than i thought.." he started. "tomorrow.?" i asked, wincing at my voice crack. he didn't say anything so i knew i was right. "i'm gonna miss you a lot." i said quietly, as i moved myself closer to him. "i'm gonna miss you too princess. but i promise i'll call you everyday and every night, ok?" he said as he kissed my forehead. "yeah" "ok but now i'm cold so let's go inside and cuddle." billy said as he slid down the roof and onto the balcony, catching me as i slid down. "so nice of you" i said giggling as he pinned me against the railing kissing me. "damn i'm gonna miss those" billy said.
