Fat Girl In A Little Coat

Part 50

Will was passed out from all the excitement on the drive. On the other hand for me. My feeling is numb, I wanted to ask him but I don't want him to be angry in front of Will. Will doesn't need to see that. I know I can protect Will from every thing. But I can at least save him from my mistakes in life.

Billy would look at me once in a great while and finally said this. "You're thinking to much Mayflower."

"Sorry." I don't know what else to think about.

"Mayflower no need to be sorry. What happened back there damn." He chuckled. "Never thought you had it in you."

"Billy. Please. Not with him in the car." Now I felt like I was going to throw up. I never hit someone like that before. Other than to have them get off of me.

Looking back. "He's passed out. Besides you heard him, your a badass." Shaking his head with a grin on his face.

I never seen anyone being so happy over a punch. I guess it was a long time coming, but still. This is scary I swore I would never choose violence unless it HAD to come down to it. Just shaken up a little bit, we arrived to the Byers. Joyce had just got home. Billy carried Will to his room.

Joyce could tell as for a mother they mostly can tell what's wrong. "What's wrong?"

"I hit Tommy."

Joyce knows all about Tommy making my life hell. She was the one who got me into smokes for awhile until I knew that I almost died from it. But I never let the cat out of the bag saying it was from her. "You finally did it." Her hands went on my shoulders to pull me into a hug. "I know it has to be scary for you. In the end I have your back and I love you kid."

"It was in front of Will. I... I never want to be like him." I almost broke down.

"You are not like him sweetie. So what if it was in front of Will. I know he has such means to you, but showing him that it was the last resort to do, is okay." With a tight hug and she lets go.

"You should had seen it, Mrs. Byers. Will was very impressed by it."

"We never formally met."

"Um sorry. Joyce this is Billy, Billy this is Mrs. Byers."

"I've heard a lot of good things about you." Billy said.

Please Joyce just say thank you. I know you want to hurt him. "So this is Billy. Nice to meet you at last." Her hand went back on my back. "This girl is real special."

"That she is, that she is. As much as I'd like to stay and chat with you. But I do have to take her home." Billy gave her a sneak peak of the charming smile that he gives out.

"Yes, don't want your grandpa to be upset with me." She winked. "Kid, remember. You are always safe here okay?"

"Thanks you Joyce." I hugged her. "Mom." I whispered into her ear as she smiled and went to check up on Will.

I could stay there forever, Billy is right I do need to go home and get an ice pack on my knuckles. On the road again, the radio was on low I know he wants me to talk. So fine I will. "Anthony, was Tommy's best friends other than Steve. He was kind, sweet, wanted to know all my secrets even the dirty laundry. It took me about four months to let him in. He umm." God... Why bother.... Billy will do the same. "He made me feel the way that you do."

"And that is?"

"Happy. Safe. Have the past stay where it belongs." I heavily sighed. "Um... I told him that I was ready." Implying sex. "He told me all the right things. 'I'll stop when you say it.' Or 'if you change your mind we won't do anything that your not comfortable with.' And I should I known, when Tina or Kelsey was coming around us more. I just pushed all the bad feelings away. And told myself 'your letting your dad win.' I just took it and ran." Shrugging my shoulders. "Next thing I know. He was taking pictures, stealing whatever could get his hands on." I feel gross. "I was going to confront Anthony about this. I saw Tommy, Kelsey and Tina paying Anthony. It was all a joke. He never wanted anything to deal with me." And you wonder why I won't let you kiss me or touch me other than a hand on my lap or me holding you.

"I know you might think it's nothing, that I was a joke all along. Turns out I was. I went to a... Nevermind. That's why I hate everyone in school. And they hate me because of what they saw." I can't even look at him or want too. It's painful enough. "Steve found out about everything, he was going to kill Tommy and Tina. Anthony had moved away a year ago. Kelsey was dating him behind my back."

I dunno if Billy believes me or not. At this point of Billy is still friends with them and hiding it, he hides it well and men are devils.

"He should never done that to you. That was low. So low." Yeah tell it to the world that already knows that.

"That's why I prefer to babysit or just stay home and read. I figured that if I made it this far in life, I should be proud of myself. And by next year, Tommy will be gone with Tina and Kelsey. Sadly so will Steve and Nancy." Kids just don't care. As long if you give them attention and let them stay past bedtime. They think you rock. "That's also why I don't take anyone else with me when I take Will." I also added. "It's seems that you won him over a bit."

"I'm glad." I think for one he was taking it on. Or two he was planning his next move to tell them, that I know that I'm into them.
