March 21st 1978

BRUCE

Today I spent the whole day at... Y/Ns house with Robin. We were gonna wait for her to get home so that we could go to the park or the baseball field like always. It was around four o'clock but to be exact the time was three-fifty seven pm. "She should be getting out soon." I told Robin.

We heard a door open and slam. We quickly looked at each other. "Why is she back so early?" Robin asked and I shrugged. I hopped off the bed and we ran around the corner to the living room. "Y/n-" I was caught off guard to the point that I couldn't finish my sentence.

"It's her parents- go go!" I quickly turned around and pushed Robin a bit. "I'm trying!" He whisper yelled. We made it to the room and closed the door quietly. "Why are they here?!" Robin sat on the couch. "Well her birthday is in two days, but that doesn't give them an excuse to come back into her life!"  I plopped onto the bed.

We sat in silence, I was just thinking about how she would feel knowing that they're here.

School was over and we thought y/n was almost here. "Come on let's go to the kitchen." Robin stated and I followed behind. We couldn't let her parents see us so we just stayed in our 'ghost forms'... I really don't know what to call it but you get the point.

"Maybe she'll be here soon, she always come home right after school." I sat on the kitchen counter and stared at the front door. "Ugh why can't we just go see where she is?" Robin slapped his hand on the counter. "Dude, we promised that we would never do that to her." "Whatever."

Y/n was at school like normally and I was bored out of my mind. I wanted to play baseball but the field was wet from the rain. I tried hanging with Vance but he obviously didn't pay any attention to me at all so I just gave up. Robin was trying to build up the courage to finally talk to Finney again so I didn't bother him.

After they talked a few weeks ago Robin seemed lost. I know they were best friends so maybe I can get y/n to help me with them both. Anyways, I decided to just.. stalk her I guess? I don't know anymore, after dying my memory just went left.

She was in fifth period by herself, writing down notes at the moment. "Excuse me?" She rose her hand. "May I use the restroom?" "Yes, try not to take long. I'll be writing and explaining more notes." Her teacher explained and she just nodded.

I didn't want to follow her into the restroom but I wanted to talk to her without anyone thinking she's crazy. She told me that people had been mistreating her recently. She walked into the restroom and I followed, with my eyes closed of course.

She walked into a stall and locked it. I knocked. "Y/n?" "Bruce?! Why are you here?" We talked through the door. "I was bored at your house and it's raining outside." "This is the girls bathroom!" "My eyes are closed!"

I heard a stall door open and someone grabbed my arm. "Open your eyes." I opened them and to see that I was in the stall with her. "Listen, you can't just show up to school like this." She whispered. "I know, I know it's just that I was bored and I wanted to be with you."

She smiled slightly, "I get it." I was pulled into a hug. I rested my chin on top of her head and wrapped my arms around her. "Actually, just don't come here unless I ask you to." I backed up and gave a confused expression. "I'm gonna be needed hugs like this from time to time."

"But she said that if she asks for us, we can go to her!" "She didn't ask, idiot." I pushed his forehead a bit. "Whatever, man." Our attention was directed to her parents in the living room. "She's gonna love these gifts," her dad spoke. "These are expensive and exclusive pieces from Givenchy! I don't even have this for myself!"
