(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Max, Billy and (y/n) silently crept across the living room to the front door, carefully trying not to make any noise while holding plastic bags so they didn't wake up Max's mum who finally decided to show up last night. She was passed out asleep on the couch, stinking up the place with the smell of alcohol as she snored and the three quickly rush outside after locking the door.

"This should be enough to last someone a week I think?" (y/n) says as she carefully puts the bags in the back with Max before getting in the front passenger seat, Billy driving off once everyone was seated. She made sure to keep her disguise up, not wanting to risk anyone else figuring out who she was.

"Unless Eddie stress eats then maybe." Max shrugs and it falls into an awkward silence again. Billy hadn't said a single word after last night and it worried (y/n), glancing at him every now and then but his expression was hidden behind his sunnies and his cigarette between his lips.

She moves to pluck the cigarette from his lips before throwing it out the window and onto the road, him looking at her in shock. "Not around me." (y/n) was surprised by the smile that grew on Billy's face when she said that.

"You really are predictable." he chuckles, remembering this exact same moment when he gave his love a ride to school after her car broke down.

"Did I say the same thing from the past?" he nods and watches her look around the car. "Did my car break down or something? Did you give me a ride somewhere?" Billy breaks down hard and the car stops in the middle of the road.

"What gives Billy-"

"-you remembered!" he takes his sunglasses off as he cut his sister off, quickly holding his girlfriend's hands in his. "Yes! That's what happened! What do you remember?"

"It's foggy but I... I remember my car not working and I think I ended up walking until you showed up. You offered me a ride to school and I took it I guess."

"And that was when you took my cigarette and threw it out the window just like now." (y/n) gasps, faintly seeing images of this moment playing in her head. There wasn't a full picture, like she couldn't remember exactly what she wore or the minute details but she could remember the main things that happened.

"You let me sleep in your car! You made me skip half the day!"

"Yes! Exactly!" Billy quickly leans down and kisses (y/n) happily, holding her cheeks as he kissed her over and over in excitement that she remembered something. He was over the moon that she got a memory back, even if it was only one memory. He had hope now that she would be able to remember them both before her death, remember him and their moments together. "I fucking can't believe it..." Billy leans back as (y/n) giggles, feeling warm to see him smile so happily.

"I know this is something we should be celebrating but Dustin is going to complain if we don't get to the shed." Max breaks up the moment and her brother scowls at her before moving to drive again. "But I'm so glad that you're remembering something (y/n)!" the young girl wraps her hands around the older one from behind the car seat to hug her.

(y/n) smiles as she holds Max's hands in hers, squeezing them lightly. "I am too." she looks up at Billy who couldn't stop smiling now, the three of them successfully breaking the tension in the car with a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. Billy drove his family to Lovers Lake, somewhere in the journey moving to hold (y/n)'s hand in his and kissing the back of it until they finally arrived. Steve, Dustin and Robin were standing outside, impatient as the three got out of Billy's car with the bags of food they got.
