Sleepover

Billy seemed more annoyed with everything than usual so you stayed quiet. You tune out the loud rock music and try to think about anything else than this. "So what... you don't want to talk to me?" he asks turning to look at you. "Oh no sorry i didn't know we could talk" you let out a nervous laugh. Billy looks back at the road you could tell he was annoyed. You decide to ask what you owe him before he changes his mind to something absurd. "So what do i owe you...?" you ask turning to look at him. "Well..." he smirks "i need you to pretend to be my girlfriend" he says not looking at you. "WHAT!?" you shout almost yelling "What!? do you got a problem!?" he yells out starting to speed up. "Wha-??" you tense up as the car jerks "thats it!" he shouts pulling over to the side of the road. "Are you serious?" you ask him scoffing. "Hey I'll tell you why if you stop being such a bitch" he says pointing at you. "Fine." you quickly respond before he changes his mind to something worse. He pulls out and starts driving back on the main road "I need to get back at this girl who cheated on me." You mentally roll your eyes "well of course she would cheat on you..." you mutter. "What did you say?!" he snaps not bothering to look at you. I said "of course she would cheat one you..." you say again barley over a whisper. Billy looks enraged "and whys that?" he says gritting his teeth. You take a deep breath "well...!?" he starts to speed up. As he speeds up you try and come up with something anything to make him happy. "I don't know!" you shout frantically as you grip the side of the passenger door. He continues to speed up "look i'm sorry i didn't mean it!" you yell. He doesn't stop and continues to hit the gas "Fine! I'll do it!" you pray he would slow down. "Good" he says in a flat tone letting his foot off the gas. As you catch your breath Billy speaks up "act like my girlfriend at school and anywhere else pretend you don't me." You didn't want to but you knew it was the only way to get him off your back "Fine... deal." The rest of the car ride was silent besides the music blasting through the speakers. When you reach the driveway you unbuckle your seatbelt and grab your bag. Getting out of the car you walk to your bike before you hear Billy.

"So... are you really going to bike home alone at this time of night?" You hold your handle bars "well duh...!" you say as you get onto the seat. "You can sleep over here." he says in a monotone voice. "First of all where would i sleep" you say snapping back at him. "I have a sleeping bag and extra clothing some girls have left maybe something will fit you" he says walking to the door. You take a moment to think about it not knowing the neighborhood his offer would be the safest option. As Billy was shutting the front door you stop him "wait!" you shout out "ill take your offer..." You follow behind him and see the red dead sitting in the living room. As billy walks to his room you go to sit next to her on the couch. "I thought you were going trick or treating?" you ask her sitting down next to her. She looks up from the tv "Yea i was... then i ran into the boys and something happened with will" she says. "Is everything alright?" you ask her now worrying something happened with Dustin. "I think so i'm not sure..." she replies looking back at the tv. "Well i have a question..." you ask her while crossing your legs. "Shot" you fumble with your shirt sleeves "is Billy really this nice...?" her head snaps to look you dead in the eyes. "Your kidding right?" she scoffs looking at you with a disappointed look. "What!?" you immediately stand up acting like she said something abnormal. "Well... i'm not" she says not looking back at the tv you could tell she was serious. "I was wondering because he is letting me sleepover" you tell her as she begins to laugh. "He probably just using you to get sex" she says "oh..." She can sense your distress and speaks up "well... if you ever feel uncomfortable sleeping in his room you can come to mine" she gets up turning off the tv. "Alright thanks" you smile and walk down the hallway with her to Billy's room. "Hey..." you say walking into his room "check the closet for anything to wear" he says walking out of the room. As you stand alone in o room you look around. Band posters, a mirror, and then some posters that looked like they were from a sex magazine. You set your bag down by the bed and go to the open closet. As you search around you find some women's bras and underwear. "Bleh..." you think to yourself it was obvious he slept with a lot of girls. Finally you found some sweatpants and an old band t-shirt. Billy walks in "i couldn't find a sleeping bag" he says tossing something down on the bed. "Of course he didn't... maybe max was right" you think to yourself. "I found something to wear where is the bathroom?" you say ask him.
"You can just change in here" he says as you turn around to face him. "I feel uncomfortable doing that...." you say as he walks over to you "don't be" he says smirking putting his hand your shoulder. You cringe inside before slipping out of his grip "i'm sorry i need to get something." you quickly reply. You walk out of the room to find the red heads room. Seeing the door was open you walk in "You're right he was using me for sex." She looks up to you and lets out a dry laugh like this isn't the first girl to do this. "Do you know where the bathroom is so i can change..." you ask as she points to left. You walk out of her room and go to the bathroom locking the door. "Maybe this wasn't the best idea.." you think to yourself as you slip into the old clothes. Unlocking the door you go back to the girls room "so... is there actually a sleeping bag or no...?" you ask her. "There is!" she smiles "hold on i can get it" she gets out of bed and walks out of the room. You have your day time clothing jumbled in your hands as you patiently wait for her to come back. A little while later she comes in "here" she hands you the sleeping bag. "Thanks..." you smile at her "uhm... can i sleep in here tonight... please...?" you ask. "Yea of course!" she walks over to her bed. "Though..." she pauses "though what..?" you put the sleeping bag down rolling it out. "Though 1% of the girls push Billy away and leave" she laughs. "Is that 1% me or someone else?" you laugh "you" she laughs and sits on her bed. You remember the party and how you didn't push him away at first. You're more like 0.5% of the girls instead of 1%. You unzip the sleeping bag and get in using your arm as a makeshift pillow eventually falling asleep.

That night you were visited by the same horrifying dream you first had the first night in Hawkins. This time you're outside a cabin hearing a loud booming in the distance. "Hello!?" you call out looking around the dark forest there was no sign of life. You run down the slimy pavement avoiding the thick vines seemed to growing everywhere. You hear a crack immediately turning skeins "hello!?" nothing was there. Turning back see you see this giant spider like creature standing over you. Letting out a shrill scream it hurdles towards you this black mist heading your direction. Without any time to react it makes its way down your throat. You feel your lungs being filled with the mist it felt like you were choking on water. You couldn't move let alone scream for help. Even if you did n one was there to help you. Closing your eyes you prayed it would end this dream seemed to be so vivid you felt it. You wake up in a cold sweat hearing the rustling of someone getting ready to leave. You get up and walk into the hallway "whats going on?" You ask walking out of the room she dosent reply she just closes the front door. Now it's just you and Billy home alone.... You walk to Billy's door opening it slowly only to see that Billy isn't in there. You turn around to walk out to the front door and go outside. You see that Billy's car isn't there either you groan as you go back inside. You get up and your grab your bag going back to retrieve your clothes from the other room. Putting on your shoes you walk out the front door to your bike not minding to change. At this point you don't care if you get lost you already missed school for today. It felt nice actually the dew on the grass and the fresh morning air. Not giving into Billy is maybe what made it feel even better. Getting on your bike you try to remember your way home. After biking for a while you get home. You park your bike and walk into the house seeing see Mrs.Henderson on the sofa worried. She gets up to hug you "i was so worried you didn't come home last night." She lets go of you backing up "i'm sorry i slept over at a friend's..." you say. "Oh i'm so glad you made new friends!" she squeals clapping her hands together as you walk to your room. You place down your bag and flop on your bed taking a deep breath. You take another deep breath then lift the shirt up to your nose to smell it. "EAUGH!!" you gag getting up taking off the shirt and throw it across the room. After that entire experience with Billy last night you felt so gross. You grab some new clothes and walk to the bathroom deciding to take a shower. You bend down to turn on the water to as hot as you could handle. As steam begins to rise from the shower you take off your clothes and get in. As you get in the water hits your body but instead of it feeling relaxing it felt like your skin was burning off. You quickly turn down the heat to medium but it still felt like it was burning. You reach for it again turning it on the lowest setting. An ice cold shower in the cold Indianan wasn't unheard of but it was definitely not normal. After washing up you get out changing into the clothes you left on the counter. Not a word from Nancy since the party you didn't think much of it anyways she wasn't really a friend. You walk out to the living room deciding to watch tv to pass the rest of the day away.
