2 days after Billy went missing, no one seemed to care anymore other than you, and his parents.
Poor boy, you wish god gave you signs to help them.
Another day at school, same old shit, same old 8 hours.

-"Our student hasn't been found yet"- The principal said on the microphone as it played all over the school speakers.
"He hasn't been found yet" played on your head all day, you were feeling sick and scared.
You knew that probably nothing would happen to you since you always walked with your friends and never went out alone. Or any other possibility of anyone breaking inside your home or something.
But still, there was that feeling, of being scared, sick, tired, drained, and simply the feeling of kneeling on the floor to cry your eyes out.

After School:
You, Finney, Gwen, and Robin were walking back home, just like usual.
-"Robin, don't you feel scared something might happen to you?"- You said
-"No?, anyway. What kind of something either way?"- Robin said turning to you
-"I don't know, the grabber"- you said lowly
Finney, Gwen, and Robin stopped and gave you a glare.
You felt as if your favorite teacher yelled at you, you then opened your mouth and said:
-"I'm sorry, I'm just worried something might happen. Griffen and Billy are now gone. And there is a high chance Billy probably won't come back home, I'm scared something might happen Robin.., you don't understand how much I care for you. You've been my friend along Finney and Gwen since the first day of school. And these kids going missing make me loose my shit. I said that cause you always walk home alone after dropping us off, and always walk by yourself everywhere. Aren't you scared?"- you said.
Robin chuckled and patted your shoulder:
-"No Y/N, not at all. The grabber is just an old man, I could beat the shit out of him"- now don't you worry.
Finney looked kind of freaked out though and he was sweaty, and Gwen was beside him trying to calm him down.
Did he freak out by what you had said?
Finney's POV:
I was nervous, freaked out, and really sweaty.
I was almost embarrassed of how sweaty I was, Gwen was trying to calm me down, she knew that I felt scared.
What Y/N had said made me think, 'would the grabber ever take me, should I be concerned for my safety?".
But, I stopped myself from overthinking it.
And just grabbed my rocket pen from my pocket, and it honestly relieved my anxiety at the moment.

At The Houses:
-"I forgot, Finney has another game!"- Gwen said
-"WAIT, IT WAS TODAY?"- Finney said hurrying inside, probably to change.
-"HAHA, FINN SE OLVIDÓ"- Robin said laughing at him
You also laughed a little and then went to leave your backpack to your house, you came out. And saw Finney putting his shoes back on and grabbing putting his hat on, he looked at you and said:
-"Hurry your ass up!"
You then ran to his side of the lawn and walked with them to the Baseball Game.
At the Baseball Game:
Everyone shouting, cheering, drinking, and freaking out.
One side:
-"Go Finney!"
And the other:
-"Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce!"
All the tension, once again.
Bruce Vs Finney, who would win?. Bruce again, or would Finney win him this time.
Last Game:
You saw Finney distracted again, Donna was there.
This time Robin didn't go along you guys. But he did mention to tell him about everything.
Gwen and you were cheering for Finney, and Bruce too.
-"Go Finney!, you can do this"- Gwen said.
Finney managed to make Bruce miss twice, but Bruce seemed kinda pissed.
Finney threw it once again, and this time Bruce managed to hit it. Once again, just like last time.
-"Awh man"- Gwen said
Once again the teams were saying good game to each other and Bruce came to Finn, yet again:
"Mannnnnn, dude. Bro your arm is mint!, your arm really is something"- Bruce said according to Finney
He simply replied with a
-"Thank you, good game"

You guys left, and went speeding back to your house.
Robin was seating on ur porch and he stood up as soon as he saw you guys.
-"OH HEY!"
Robin said with a big smile on his face, you all said hey back and went inside your house, only god knows what kind of mess you guys did.

Of course, the hours passed.
Bruce's POV:
I was riding my bike back home, I was proud of myself. Second time, and I've won yet again. Finney is a good player. But I was proud of both myself and him, I enjoyed the games, though he did stress me out cause I did want to win the game.
Girls passing by, giving me smiles, twirling their hair.
I bet that if they had a piece of paper and a pen they would ask me to give them my number.
I mean, look. It's me, the Bruce Yamada.
I continued riding my bike, big smile on my face.
Until I saw that black van, smile faded away.
Don't know why, but.
I had a feeling that sometime bad was gonna happen to me, I didn't know why. But I felt it coming.

-Y/N's house-
-"ROBIN PUT THAT DOWN MY MOM WILL KILL ME IF YOU BREAK IT!"- you yelled at Robin trying to get him to leave your moms favorite porcelain doll.
You wouldn't give two shits since the doll has been around since your grand grandmother was alive.
And it looked creepy as fuck.
Gwen and Finney were laughing at you and Robin.
Robin making a mess around your house grabbing everything, and you following behind him trying to stop him from setting your house on fire or making a hole on the floor or wall.
Time passed, and you were all finally seating down at your living room.
Watching Carrie, you and Gwen sitting together under a blanket enjoying the movie.
Robin laying on the floor, with a pillow you had gave him, and Finn on the other couch trying his best not to scream.
You didn't realize your parents had came home when the movie ended because you were all talking about the movie.
-"Sweetie we're home!"- mom said
You ran towards your parents and gave them a big hug, while they also wrapped their arms around you, giving you, a bear hug.
-"Mom, Dad!. This are my friends, Gwen, Finn, and Robin. They are the friends I always talk about!, hopefully you don't mind them"- you told your parents.
Robin extended his hand out and your parents shook his hand.
Finn and Gwen waved at them, but Finney looked nervous doing it.
-"Oh I forgot, we have to tell you something love"- mom said on a sad tone.
-"Is it about us?, a family member?, friends?"- you asked
-"No, it's about another kid that went missing.."
Your mom stared at you, and your friends.
Raising questions on who it was, when it happened, and if he was gonna be found.

Mom started the conversation with all of you guys, you were surprised she didn't ask them to go back home or anything, but she did start the conversation making sure you were all listening she started:
-"We don't know who was the kid, but he's from your friends rival baseball team"- mom said playing around with the ring she had on her finger.
You all stared at each other thinking about who the victim was, and Gwen then rushed to the bathroom.
You guessed she needed to go, or it was because of the dreams she recently had.
