Billy knew something was up as he asked me this morning if I wanted to go spend time at the grab and go along with Vance. I didn't want to go but I decided to go anyway as I was now standing in front of the mirror splashing my face with cold water then I crouched down opening the drawer pulling out my mother makeup looking for the foundation to hide my under bags taking the brush dipping it in and layering it out under my eyes not the best but it still manage to do the job. I put the makeup back, hiding the evidence that I touched it as I made my way out to the living room taking the spare key shoving it into my pocket locking the door behind me pulling it shut while I jumped on my bike heading down the street gripping the handlebars as the wind whip around me.

Billy and Vance were already inside as Vance was beating the pinball machine focusing deep while Billy looked slightly bored just standing against the wall watching Vance play. I jumped off my bike, setting it against the barber store, making my way inside as I felt an arm wrapped around me.

"There she is" Billy said, pulling me over to the pinball machine as Vance just nodded his head to me looking back down at the game pressing the buttons.

"Yeah" I said, laughing a bit, rubbing my neck pulling away from Billy's arm as he gave me a glance tilting his head. This was already a mistake but if I left now then both the boys would know I'm not okay and then the others would grow worried.

"(y/n) you, okay?"

"Yeah of course" I said with a smile walking over to Vance's side watching him play as the ball suddenly dropped.

"Fuck!" he yelled, hitting the machine making it rock underneath.

"Vance, could I play?" I asked as he was pulling out another quarter. He gave me a slight glare but was more friendly unlike the rest I have gotten. "I'll do your homework for a week"

"Month"

"Fine" I said, holding my hand as he dropped the quarter into my palm moving out of my way while he went off to find some snacks for himself. I pushed the quarter in looking up at the machine watching the light flicker as the ball dropped. My mind went into a trance as I kept pushing the buttons bouncing the ball up hitting every point making a ding. I was still pressing the buttons earning more points when I felt a creep feeling crawling up my spine. I glanced over at the boys for a minute noticing they were both by the soda's just talking then I turned my gaze over to the other side noticing Moose right outside with a smirk as he came walking into the store. I let the ball drop making my way over to the boys I wasn't in the mood to fight today. "Sorry guys my mother wants me home soon"

"But you just got here" Vance said, taking a sip out of a coca cola bottle.

"Sorry I just promise my mother something and she probably-"

"Hey everyone looks the whore talking to her other boys" Moose said laughing a bit as the other people around the store turned to us. "Guess Bruce wasn't enough"

Even if the words weren't true somehow it still hurt deep down. Vance stepped forward gripping the bottle every one of his veins popping out ready to cause some shit.

"Moose fuck off" I said standing my ground crossing my arms a bit biting back some tears that would at any moment spill. Moose was about to say something else before Vance walked up punching him right in the face as Moose stumbled back on his feet before running up to Vance punching back as they kept fighting. I grabbed Billy arm leading him out the store seeing it as safer than staying inside as Billy took my arm pulling me away from the crowd.

"(y/n) please tell me what's going on" Billy said, crouching a bit down so we could meet eye to eye.

"It's no-"

"It's not nothing, (y/n) you're my best friend. I know when you're not okay what's going on? Why is Moose picking on you"

I let out a sigh running my hand through my hair looking down at him "I- I been having more nightmare of the grabber, I danced with Bruce at the party and most of the girls got jealous so a rumor spread by Moose and now everyone thinks I'm this type of person and I'm just so tired" I said covering my face crying into my hands as I broke down right in front of him. I felt Billy arm wrapped around me as he held me close to his chest. I wrapped my arms around him hiding my face wishing he didn't have to see me like this.

"How long has this been going on?" he whispered, running his hand over my back.

"After sense we escape everything went downhill, I've just been hiding it because I didn't want any of you to worry about me"

"(y/n) we would be worried if you kept this hidden and you know we all went through it so we have to stick together" he said trying to cheer me up. He was right about that. I took the sleeve of my shirt wiping my eyes pulling away from the hug taking a shaky breath nodding my head as red and blue flashing light speed by coming to a stop.

"Well, there goes Vance" I mumbled slightly laughing as Billy also laughed as the cops came out the store dragging a grumpy Vance who was pulling away from one of the cops looking at us both before being shoved into the back.

"Do you want to come over to my house and let Rover cheer you up?"

"Yes please" I begged as we both jumped on our bikes riding over to his house.
