Fat Girl In A Little Coat

Part 14

No sign of my father just yet. My heart is slowly going back to normal. Even though I'm always on the look out. I went home for a little while. I needed fresh clothing and I wanted to see my Pipi. He wasn't wasn't shocked that I'd be here, Pipi just laughed as he hugged me. Steve was home as well.

"My babies are all under one roof." We sat at the dining table. Pipi was called away as the phone rang.

"Sis. I have some things to tell you."

"If it has anything to do with Tommy. I'm going to stop you there."

"No no no." He said really fast. "Billy. When we would at practice. He would look at the bleachers. I know why.. but he acts like he doesn't. Of course I don't say anything because he would want another fight."

I knew it.... A bully missing his victim. I lean back in the chair as I puffed with a sigh. "Why in god's name would he be looking for me? I'm nothing to that man."

Steve leans back too. "That I wonder as well. The both of you don't like each other. And you can do way much better than him." I slowly nod as I gave him a sad smile. "Sis?"

"I miss being home. I missing being with you and Jonathan at school. I mean I HATE school but... With you guys it made it better."

"I miss having you home as well. Who else is going to cover up for me when I want to see Nance?"

"Not the cops." We both laughed.

"Nope not them. How is it over at the the Byers?"

"Okay. But I do miss my bed and my room. Speaking about that. I better grab some clean cloths and a short nap."

"Won't you be on trouble?"

"Hooper said that I could be here for awhile. And I'm taking a nap in my bed."

Around three pm I heard Billy's car pulling up and arguing. I guess it's time for me to get up and go back to the Byers. Packing up a bag, Steve knocks on my door. "They're ready for ya."

"Want to drive me? We can even pick up Nancy." I threw a bag over my shoulder.

"Well I am seeing her tonight. I would drive you but I think it's safer with Hooper."

To be fair yes it would be safe to be with him. But I haven't seen him or Pipi in weeks. "Alright, suit yourself."

I come from downstairs and there is Billy smoking. I want to wave but why bother? I nodded at him and got into the car. He seemed so sad to see me leave. Getting in Hoppers car, he drove off.

Back at the Byers. Will went to bed early while Jonathan and Joyce are at work. There is a knock if it's one of the policemen comes in one more time and wake up Will again. I'm going to kill them. I opened the door. "Billy?" What the fuck? What now? Telling me your sorrow that you have since you found me.

"Hey." His charming smile doesn't work on me. "Can we talk?"

One of the policemen comes out as he had his gun up. I took a step out on the porch. "He's cool, he's cool."

"No one is aloud to be here Tory."

"Yeah then none of Will's friends should be here and yet here they are." I pulled Billy inside. "I asked him to come over." I lied to them. Billy smiled as I pulled him in and the fact that I lied to a cop. Yup I'm going to hell. Quietly shutting the door. "Whatever it is, keep your voice low. Second you better have a good reason that you are here other than just to talk."

Billy chuckles as his hands are in his pockets. "Aren't we a little dare devil. I like this." Licking his lips.

I glared at him. "Billy." I said out of frustration. I rubbed my forehead.

"Well I haven't spoken to to you."

"I haven't spoken to anyone lately unless you live here." I soon crossed my arms. "Is there something important that you wanted to talk about?"

Will comes out rubbing his eyes. "Tory, when are they going to stop coming in and out?"

I faced Will as I kneeled in front of him. "I don't know Will." I picked him up. "Come on, let's get back to bed and I'll have, you bunny can have wonderful dreams." I looked over at Billy. "Stay put."
