Unlikely Couple

Mrs. Hargrove?

Third Person POV

Stepping out of his car was the one and only Billy Hargrove. Standing at five feet, ten inches tall, with long brown hair, wearing a dark blue jean jacket, white button-up slightly opened and tucked into his blue jeans, completing the look with a belt, necklace, and black boots. Billy was in fact, not dead. Back when billy crashed on his way to meet Mrs. Wheeler, he wasn't being controlled by the mind flyer. The mind flyer made a copy of Billy out of rat parts and human remains. Billy quickly fled out of Hawkins and back to California without a second thought. (Watch the beginning of season 3 episode 2 for my reasoning behind this)

But why is Billy coming back now? He found out that "he died" and they even buried that fake body. Billy had been living with his mom again now that he was an adult and didn't need to listen to his ass of a father. He wanted to come back to Hawkins to kind of say "I ain't dead," and he also wanted to talk to a very special person...

Billy threw his cig down and stepped on it to put it out. He walked into the school and headed straight to the office to sign Max out. Everyone looked at him like they had just seen a ghost; which they technically did. "I would like to sign out my kid sister, Maxine Mayfield," He told the lady at the front counter leaning on it. "Uhh, y-yeah." She said turning to her computer and typing in her name. She wrote down a few things on a piece of paper and then handed it to her assistant. "Please give this to Max Mayfield in room 205," She said and her assistant nodded fast walking out of the office.

Billy gave her a wink and then put a piece of gum in his mouth. He stood there waiting for max to enter the room. She was going to totally shit herself when she saw him. a few minutes pass and in walks Max giving the lady at the desk a mean look then she turned to her left seeing billy standing before her. Her jaw dropped as she took a step closer to him. "Miss me, Maxy?" He asked making tears start to well up in her eyes. "B-Billy?" She asked looking up at him. "The one and only." she eminently hugged him and began to sob. "But- but you died!?" She said and he laughed a bit. "That wasn't me, I'll explain in the car let's go." He said putting an arm around her and walking out of the office.

Eddie's POV

Today is Tuesday, meaning I have Ms. O'Donnell's class with Jason. He kept shooting me death glairs but I didn't pay him any attention. I'm still trying to get that D in her class because I will be damned if I don't pass her class. Her final is next month and I need to get a 60% or higher or I can't graduate with Chirs. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw little red heading towards the front office. I was a little concerned about why she was leaving but maybe she was just going to see Jane I'm not too sure. 

I was trying to take notes but I started to zone out and I started drawing in my notebook. I hadn't noticed that Ms. O'Donnel had stepped out of the classroom until one of Jason's jackass friends stanched my notebook out of my hands. "Oh look, the freak is drawing pictures of his sick fantasies!" He shouted flipping threw the pages. "Give it back shit bird!" I yelled trying to snatch it from him. "Oh look, this one is of him and Chrissy what a loser!" he laughed and I pushed him into the desks next to him making him fall and drop my book. I gave him a quick kick before shoving my shit in my bag and walking out of class.

They all yelled at me but I blocked them out heading to my hideout spot until the bell rang. When I went out there, Chrissy was sitting there listening to music and writing in her book. "Hey princess?" I said taking a seat next to her. She smiled taking off her headphones and pausing her music. "Hey, handsome, my teacher let me out early so I'm just sitting here finishing notes." "Yeah, well I left because people are assholes." I opened my backpack and took out my notebook with pages falling out. "I'm sorry baby, I love you." She gave me a kiss making me feel a bit better. 

_____

Lunchtime is my favorite time when I'm at school. I can eat and spend time with my lovely baby girl. I packed us both a lunch to make sure she ate. I never want to force her to eat but as long as she eats a little without throwing up I'll be happy. School lunch makes her feel too sick and god knows what the hell in it. Chrissy sat with her legs in my lap as we ate together waiting for Henderson and everyone else. Jane came first looking for Max, "Where is Max?" She said with a concerned look on her face. She looked around for her and I sighed. "She left a while ago," I said and her eyes shot up to mine. "Where?" She asked and I lowkey got scared. "Billy picked her up," Chrissy said and Jane looked at her, "Billy is dead," She looked really mad at us and I really didn't want to make her mad.

"I saw him pull up in a new car, it was him as plain as day," She said taking a bite of food and then quickly running out of the cafeteria. I continued to eat in silence with Chrissy until the rest showed up. "Hey Eddie, do you and Chrissy wanna come over to wheelers house after school? I got an awesome campaign set up." Henderson said taking a seat. "It'll be fun," Wheeler said sitting next to him. "Sure, I'm down if Chrissy is." I smiled looking at her and she nodded. "Sounds good." 

"I was going to invite max to say sorry to her for yesterday but I haven't seen her today," Wheeler said starting to eat. "I'll pass along the message," Chrissy said to him with a smile. Chrissy and Max have gotten close due to their shared trauma. "Come after 5:00 though, cuz my mom has some important news for us," Mike rolled his eyes. "His mom divorced his dad recently and he thinks he's getting a new step dad" Dustin whispered earning an elbow from Mike. 

"Think about this way, it could be worse, your mom could be selling herself on the side of the road along with all your stuff for drugs and your old man could be in jail for attempting to steal an undercover cop car," I said trying to make light of the situation. Chrissy gave me a concerned look and gave her a confused one. "Did that really happen?" She asked and I nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Mike kept picking at his food. 

6:15 pm Wheeler Residence

Chrissy and I pulled into the driveway of the Wheeler's house, Billy's new car was parked in the driveway already so we decided to park in front of the house so we wouldn't block him. We both figured that he was just dropping off Max and would be out soon. I helped Chrissy out of my van and held her waist as we walked up to the house. I rang the doorbell waiting for Mrs. Wheeler to open the door. When she does, I smile holding out my hand. "Hello, Mrs. Wheeler. Mike invited me over to play DND." "Oh, you must be Eddie and Chrissy, and please call me Mrs. Hargrove now," She smiled opening the door more. "M-Mrs. Hargrove?" I asked walking in. "Oh yes, I'm engaged now," She smiled holding up her hand and showing off her beautiful new ring. 

As we walk further into the house, I see Billy sitting at the kitchen table. "Do my eyes deceive me or is that Eddie the freak Munson with Chrissy the queen Cunningham?" He asked standing up. "Billy, I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you died," I said crossing my arms. "Everyone thinks that these days, I've been in California," He says with a smile. "Well, I'm glad to see you back," I say heading to the basement. "That was weird," I think to myself opening the basement door.
