She's mine

38

BILLY'S POINT OF VIEW

I couldn't loose her. No way in hell was I going to let her just willing die. She was giving up. She was letting kai win. Couldn't she see that? Couldn't she see she was letting him win? She was giving him what he wanted. I wasn't going to let that happen. Kai is dead. He doesn't get to win when he's fucking dead.

Nat was on the ground and I was over her. I wouldn't let her up. I knew what I was going to do, but I couldn't stop crying when she told me she loved me, and that I made life worth living for her. I just couldn't let her die before she barely even lived. She hadn't been anywhere. She hadn't seen the world. She's been running majority of her life.

I just couldn't let her die when she had so much life left. I couldn't. I loved her too much. I remember thinking in that moment what my mom would say if she could see how much love I had for someone now. I didn't fall for anyone. I never let myself. I wondered what my mom would say if she was alive to see me now.

When Nat looked at the monster again I moved. I moved letting her think I had given into her crazy demands. I would let her think she got her way. However no way in hell was she dying tonight. It's not her time. So I got off of her and I stood up. Moving slightly away.

When I seen the tentacle going straight for my girl I grabbed it as she closed her eyes preparing herself.

"NOOOO!" I screamed as I stopped the tentacle with my own hands. I didn't look at her or max. I could only imagine the look on both of their faces. I however could hear them both scream bloody murder as more tentacles latched onto me.

So the thing is I was going to die. Gladly too. If I had to die in order for my girl and my sister to live, then so fucking be it. Hell I'd even glady die for fucking Steve Harrington. He wasn't as bad as I originally thought and he was my girls cousin. Which meant she loved him in a way literally no one else could.

I could see everyone looking at me. Steve, Eddie, Gareth. Everyone. I could see the glistening in thier eyes which told me they were all crying. However the pain was so much. I couldn't concentrate on anything other then the pain.

Shit no wonder Nat screamed so loudly when I pulled it off of her ankle. It felt like my body was being overtaken by the things. I fell to the ground and I could feel the pain radiating. Max and nat were to my side in a second flat. Both of them were crying hysterically.

"Take care of each other." I managed to gasp out as I let out my breath closing my eyes. The thing is I wasn't dead. I'm pretty sure I just went unconscious. It felt like I died though. However I didn't. I don't know how Nat and max or the others truly reacted to what happened because I was either dead or I was unconscious. However the screams and cries I heard from both of them before I went unconscious still plays back in my head on occasion.

When I came to again the entire group was gone and some guy I didn't know was standing over me. Looking at me with a terrified yet concerned and questionable look.

"It hurts." I managed to mutter out lightly between my pained gasps. The man looked at me slightly softening his expression. "You're gonna be okay. I can fix this."

I didn't know what he meant because I didnt feel like I was going to be okay in all honesty. I felt like I was on deaths door. All I kept picturing was Nat in my mind. Her smile, her laugh, her annoyingly adorable fucking giggle. The way her face would get fire engine red when she got embarrassed. The face she made when she was trying to figure out a math problem, because she sucked at math. I focused on everything Nat while they were loading me onto a gurney.

The jolting movement made me clench my jaw and groan. With every movement it would put me in more pain.

"I know it hurts. I'm sorry." The guy would say. The ride in the unmarked van to Hawkins lab was only about ten minutes. However it was the longest fucking ten minutes of my life. As soon as I was wheeled inside I was taken into a room. The guy from the mall walked in with a doctors coat on.
