Mishaps

Two hours pass without you even realizing it "That was so fun!" Lucas says while leaning back in his chair. "I agree" Will adds on stretching his arms "So what's next..." as you look over your shoulder everything was like that dream you had. Everything was dark, cold, and most of all slimy. You hear voices, "y/n?" someone says "y/n are you ok?" you hear it from a far. You get up looking around the cold slimy basement. It was like everything was dead just like last time but worst of all it now had horrible to stench. You close your eyes trying to wake yourself up. Shaking your head, pinching yourself, doing anything you could think of to wake yourself up. Before you know it you open your eyes looking around you all the boys look terrified. "I'm fine i was just... thinking" you gingery reply as you stand up from the chair. "Boys, Nancy, dinner!" you hear Mike's mom yell from upstairs. The boys run upstairs while you trail behind them, Nancy was already at the table. You sit next to her and Mike "where were you y/n??" whispers to you. "I left to go downstairs because of you and Steve" you whisper back. "Oh.. sorry" she says fumbling with her fork now. "I forgive you if you're wondering" you say leaning over lightly elbowing her side. "Thanks it wont happen again" she says smiling at you. It's not like you wanted to forgive her so quickly. You didn't have much of a choice to not forgive her if you didn't you would be friendless. It was a mostly silent dinner besides the boys talking. You're guessing Steve left through the window before dinner even started and that's why he wasn't here. After dinner you bring your plate to the sink and turn around to see Nancy holding your shoes. "Do you want to meet at the party or come with me?" she asks handing you your shoes. Caught off guard you say the first thing that came to mine "aren't you going with Steve? i'm guessing you guys want your alone time." She gives you an almost hurt look "whatever you want" she says going back into the kitchen. You mentally slap yourself for even opening your mouth but decide to leave. You put your shoes on and go outside to your bike. Not knowing where the party was your only option now was to go home. You bike the direction towards your nehboorhood but the more you bike the more lost you felt. After taking so many turns you only see more rows of houses. Not getting out of this neighborhood anytime soon you decide to pick a house and ask for help. As you turn the corner that infamous blue camero parked in a driveway. "Is this Billy's house...?" you think to yourself as you get off your bike tossing it to the side. You would rather go to a house where you knew at least someone than a stranger. As you walk up to the door you feel your heart begin to race. You ring the doorbell and shortly after hear yelling from inside. The yelling stops and the door swings open revealing the same redhead from before wearing all black. "Hi, uh i'm y/n.." you say trailing off "i remember you Dustin's cousin?" she replies tilting her head. "Yea your Billy's sister right?" she does an eye roll "yep, is there anything you need?"

"I kinda got lost on the way to my house and i was hoping you could help me" you ask her. Before she could say anything Billy walks up behind her eyeing her down. "Who are you...?" he says spat at you. "How can you NOT remember me?!" you scoff at him she quickly slips behind Billy and back to her room. "Oh your that girl from the hallway??" he says lets out a dry laugh. "Yes. yes i am actually" you are now almost clenching your teeth. "What was it? y/n..?" he crosses his arms leaning in the doorway now eyeing you down like your his next meal. "Yes it was y/n" you take a breath in before speaking again "do you know where the party is tonight?" he raises his eyebrows. "The halloween party?" he tilts his head but you knew if you broke now you would never live it down. So you remain having enough courage to keep eye contact with him. "Yes i was going to go with my friend but i got lost getting to her house..." you trail off knowing yoh were lying. Yoh speak again in a stern tone. "So unless you know I'll be on my way." He takes a second that felt like minutes before speaking "Oh i know where it is..." he says with a smirk on his face. This wasn't good... so far all the information you've collected from this guy whatever that smirk meant it meant bad news. "Ok well go on spit it out." you insist while standing your ground. "Well i'll take you but... it will cost you" he says getting up from the door and grabbing his leather jacket from the hook. "Pay you!?" you exclaimed as he shut the front door behind him walking to his camaro. You turn around and follow him to his car as he goes around to the drivers seat. "Yes now get it" he shuts the drivers door and rolls down the passenger window. "What about my bike?!" you shout almost yelling over the engine. "Don't worry about it i'll drive you home after the party now get in!" he replies. "But..." you trail off looking him then your bike. "Do you want to go or not?" he says his voice as cold as ice sending a shiver down your spine. You sigh "hold on!" you shout so he could hear you over the engine. You go to your bike at the end of the driveway and picked it up by the handle bars. You walk it up the driveway and park it next to the garage. You go over to the camero opening the passenger door and getting in. As Billy rips out of the driveway you feel anything and everything that goes under wheels vibrating to your seat. You decide to look out the window and hold your bag close to your side. "So what type of payment are we talking about...?" you ask him not bothering to look back. "I'm still thinking" he quickly replies "Just let me know then..." you say trailing off. "When we get to the party try to stay out of my way alright?" you turn back to look at him "what?" you question him.
