Cornflakes

009 The disaperance of Will Byers

Y/NS POV
I heard Robin shut the door. I exited the kitchen with two bowls.
"Cornflakes with ice cream madam," I hand her a bowl, "who was at the door?" Robin smiled and took the bowl.
"Uh just some Mormons," she spat. I sat down next to her.
"So the whole theory thing..." I trailed off.
"Two years ago my brothers friend went missing," I looked at Robin, "it was a whole thing, but moral of the story this alien thing took over his body and please believe me because I know how crazy it sounds," Robin look dumbfounded but nodded.
"So... my theory I guess is that whatever got Will has Billy."
"Well how do you know?"
"I-i'm not sure but when I went to check on Billy in the shower it was freezing cold... and the sweat- the sweat meant he was hot and 'it' doesn't like the heat" I looked down. Robin seemed confused and scared and it looked like she was questioning everything which is fair.
"So this thing..." Robin said, "You think it came back for Billy?" I nodded. Robin laid back.
"Huh..." She said. I laughed a bit.
"It's all a bit crazy... but trust me Rob,"

ROBINS POV
I stared at Y/n. It took me a minute to really understand what was going on. Aliens? A missing kid. He was missing... because of aliens? I blinked a bit.
"I trust you," I laughed, "don't tell me this is some big lie."
"I promise it isn't." Y/n put her hand in mine. Butterflies flittered around in my heart. I wanted to tell her everything I thought about her, but I couldn't. And I wouldn't.
"So what does this mean..."
"I'm not sure..." Y/n looked down. The silence filled the air. I wasn't sure what to do.

TIME SKIP
Y/NS POV
I hadn't realized the time. It was 9pm already. I had work tomorrow. I said goodbye to Robin and went upstairs. I sat down at my desk. I looked through the pictures of Billy and I. I always questioned why I was really with Billy. It wasn't really my choice. Billy looked at me and decided I was the girl for him. I took off my jacket. I wiped off the makeup along my arm.
"Shit" I gritted my teeth as I kept wiping. The bruises started becoming more visible. Sometimes I felt like a big punching bag. Whenever Billy was upset he would hit me. And the bruises started appearing. More often than not I would be applying foundation to my arms. I truly wanted to break up with Billy, but I never knew how. It would eat me alive how badly I wanted to escape. And everyone would tell me how lucky I was. But I wasn't. And I never would be.
