10. Shitty Window

Robin and I were sleeping when the phone wakes me up. I shake Robin's shoulder too scared to answer without him.

"What?" He asks in a groggy voice.
"It's ringing." I say. He sits up and nods.
"Okay okay answer it." He says. I stand up and pick it up.

"You said my name was Billy." The voice I recognize as Billy's says.
"Yeah Billy Showalter." I say nodding.
"Don't call me that. I don't remember it, that's not who I am." He says.
"Okay." I say.

One of our soda bottles begins to shake.
"Uhh Y/n?" Robin asks.

"What do you want me to call you then?" I ask as I watch bottle fall on its side. Robin moves to stand next to me as he stares at the bottle.
"I told you I was a paperboy." He says.
"Okay. Paperboy." I say.
"See the wall infront if you. See how it's seperated from the floor?"
"Yeah." I say.
"I tore a long cable loose from down there. I kept it hidden." I tell Robin what he said.

"What are we supposed to do with that?" He asks. The bottle starts spinning before standing on its side, pointing at the window.

"Thank you." I say before hanging up.

We go to the wall. I pull the wire out and we walk over to the window.

Robin takes it from me and starts throwing it at the bars. It's not working.

"Let me try." I say. I take it from him and step back. I throw it and by some miracle it goes through. I smile and look at him proudly.

"Lucky shot." He says. I roll my eyes.
"You're just jealous." I say.
"Oh yeah well-."
"If you mention that I missed you one more time I'm going to kill you." I say. He laughs softly.
"Well you did." I hit his arm.

"Okay now climb up." He says.
"What if I fall?" I ask looking up at how high the window is.
"You won't." He says.

Robin puts his hand on my lower back as he helps me up.

My foot slips.
"Robin I'm going to fall!" I yell gripping the wire.
"I'll catch you." He says.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes now keep going."

I climb up to the top. I grab the metal bar. I grab it and pull.

There's a crack and I start to fall back. I feel arms around me. I open my eyes and see Robin.

"You caught me." I mutter.
"I told you I would." He says. "And you missed me so I kinda had to." He says. I roll my eyes and push him away. He laughs.

I go and sit on the mattress. Robin follows.

"This shitty window." I mutter staring at the wire and bars on the floor.
"Yeah now what?" He says.
"We have to hide them so he doesn't see them. He'll lose his shit if he does." I say.
"Yeah okay." He says.

We both stand up and grab something. I get the wire and go to the wall. I stick it under. Robin tried as well and surprisingly it fit.

I go and sit down again. He follows once again.

I sigh and let my head fall on his shoulder. He turns to look at me.

"Robin I can't do this anymore. I want to leave." I say.
"I know me too." He says wrapping an arm around me. He rests his head on mine.

Neither of us pull away and I feel comfortable.

The lights turn on and we pull away and move back trying to get away from The Grabber.

The Grabber walks in. He has food for us.

"I'm here to ask." He says casually.
"What?" I say.
"Is he your boyfriend?" He asks me. I shake my head.
"Uh no." I say genuinely confused.
"Shocking news." He says giggling softly.

"I have a secret." He whispers. I glance at Robin worriedly.
"What's that?" I ask slowly.
"I think he likes you." He whispers cupping his mouth.
"Oh?" I say still confused.

"If he wouldn't he wouldn't get so defensive over you when I walk in." He adds looking at him. I do too and notice his hands in a fist.

"Get the fuck out." Robin says.
"Bye bye." The Grabber says before leaving.

I turn to Robin who's ignoring eye contact.

The phone rings.
"It's ringing." I say.
"Okay." Robin says.

I walk over to it. Its staticky.
"Hello? Bruce? Billy- paperboy?" The call ends.

"That's so strange." I say.
"Come eat." Robin says now walking to the tray.

I walk over to him and we eat.
