Beautifully Broken | Billy Hargrove

Car Ride

The last couple periods you had left came and went like a blur you didn't really pay attention like you should of but after what Tommy and Steve said at lunch you couldn't stop thinking about it. You almost asked Billy why he was mad at you in English class but he was too busy with his groupies and you didn't want to interrupt all that.

It was your first day of school and you seem to already make the King of Hawkins mad and got in a weird mean girl fight with Carol. All you were planning to do today was stay low and not push buttons or get in trouble that for sure didn't happen. You did seem to make some friends tho Steve and Nancy they were nice and friendly.

Walking down the hall and out the school building you see Billy standing at his car looking like he was waiting for someone and that someone looks like it might be you. "Y/n! Get in the car" he barks at you. Wtf is his deal? you thought. You run to his car and gets in without saying a word even tho you wanna ask what his problem is you don't.

Billy gets in and speeds out the parking lot with you confused in his passenger seat. He looks at you with a smile "Why so quiet Y/n?" he asks, "I thought you would be yelling at me or something." You stare out the window "Maybe I don't want to talk" you tell him "Maybe I want you to talk." He laughs at that "Sure fine i'll talk first. You are different than any girl i've met before" you smile at him "How so?" He takes his eyes off the road and smiles back "For starters no girl would play basketball" laughing he continues "You definitely got a mouth on you and your brave no girl would have called me an asshole like you did."

"I'm sorry i'm not like other girls I like getting dirty and cussing is fun gets the point across sometimes" you tell him blushing at this point. "The girls in our school from what I can tell fall for you and are stuck up like that girl Carol" you say "But I know sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble and I'm trying not to be this time." Billy stops the car on the side of the road after that remark and parks. He turns to you "Trouble what do you mean by that?" curiously waiting for your answer he turns the car off it was loud and it looks like he wanted to talk to you.

You sigh and think on how to answer this. Thinking of an answer that won't scare him off or make him think you're a freak you reply with "In my last school I would get into fights alot because of my mouth. I don't take shit from anyone and I'm trying to do better this time." You continue while Billy just looks at you "My parents got so pissed at me before we moved the fighting got so bad that my last school was threatening to take me to jail if it didn't stop."

"Damn Steele" Billy said shaking his head. You look at him shocked that he called you by your last name usually when someone uses it that means trouble. "Yeah that's honestly why I moved here. It was either jail til I'm 18 or strange quiet Hawkins" you said finally feeling free that you were able to talk bout it. You had the chance earlier with Steve and Nancy but you didn't wanna scare em away with Billy it feels different you feel like he wouldn't judge you or scare easily.

You and Billy sit in the silence for a bit before he takes his keys out and gets out the car "Come outside we can talk more and I wanna show you something" he calls out before shutting his door. You look out before opening the door and see a park bench and a big oak tree. Why are we here? Is he gonna murder me? you thought as you open the door and head outside to Billy.
