Billy's pov:

I woke up and saw some brown hair in front of me. What even happened last night?  I thought that brown hair was a girl so I carefully moved my arm from her delicate chest and  climbed out of bed.

"Hey beautiful" I whispered into her ear.
She got up and it was not a girl but a boy. "Steve!" I shouted and stumbled back

"Yes that's my name" he said as her rubbed his beautiful Brown eyes.
"What the FUCK happened last night" I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of bed.
He fell to the floor i with a bang and sat down staring at me
"You were drunk and was rambling on saying home is bad or some shit so I brought you here,"

I paused. What if i I did something really stupid that night? Nope, I still have my boxers on I'm fine. "Oh um thanks," I mumbled.
I put my hand out and Steve got up from the floor and looked down at me.
"And then you kissed me," Steve put his head to the floor.

Oh shit. He's gonna tell everyone just like California. I couldn't say anything I just avoided eye contact and looked away. I felt my eyes tear up. I couldn't cry here it would make me look more like a queer. "Jesus Billy it's fine, you were drunk ok," Steve quickly said breaking the silence.

"Take a shower you stink of alcohol and you hair is all sticky!" He instructed me to do.
"Fine fine," I mumbled

The shower was nice and warm. I got all the knots out of my hair. My hair was my pride and joy. I loved it so much and I had been growing it out since my mum left. I thought about my family now, Neil, max, Susan and I. I hated my dad he was so horrible and treated me and my mum like shit. Susan was okay but she never really spoke much or stood her grounds. Max just played the annoying little sister role. Having to drive her everywh-. I completely forgot! I was supposed to drive her home. I frowned knowing this wasn't gonna end well.

Steve's pov:

I changed into a dark blue sweater and some random jeans I found on the floor and decided to check on Robin. I opened the guest bedroom door and saw her standing in the corner with a perfume bottle ready to throw. "Jeez Robin whats going on with you?"
"Why the FUCK am I at your house," she snarled at me.
"You were drunk and I don't know where you live so.." I said rolling my eyes.
She carefully put the perfume bottle to the side of the bed and walked up to me.
"Thank you Steve," she mumbled and walked downstairs.

I walked into the hallway and saw billy in the same clothes from last night. "Is your house like a refuge for drunk people?" He asked with his same old cocky smirk.
"Fuck off," I laughed at him and walked downstairs.
I toasted some toast for them and drove Robin home.
"Your a real one Steve," she smiled as she walked out of the car into the fog.
"Can I pleaseeee change the song please your music taste is shit," Billy groaned.
I nodded and he started to play some hardcore rock with the volume all the way up.
We hummed along and stopped at his house. He sighed and got out.
" Thanks Stevie," he smiled but not one of his cocky smiles a real smile.
The moment he walked into his house I heard screaming and thumping. What the fuck?

Billy's pov:
TW: ABUSE AND HOMOPHOBIC SLURS

I opened the door and I didn't even get to say hello. Neil grabbed my by my jacket and threw me to the ground. "WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?" He screeched at me
"I'm- sorry I forgot I swear!" I pleaded.
But that wasn't enough to make him stop.

He punched and punched me until he got an answer from me. "I got drunk and someone took me home," my voice wobbled.
I saw Max holding onto Susan's arm staring at me her eyes welling up too. I mouthed please knowing Neil had a soft spot for her side of the family. "WITH SOME FAG HUH?" He shouted in my ear.
"YOUR ALREADY KNOWN AS THE CALIFORNIA FLAG YOU CANT BE KNOWN AS THE INDIANA FAG!" He screeched at me.
My ears gained their own heartbeat and I tried to nit cry but I was too late.

"CRYING LIKE THE LITTLE PUSSY HE IS!" He shouted.
Then, at that moment we heard a knock on the door. That's when max tried to pull me to the side to protect me.

Steve pov:

Billy truly had forgotten something, His earrings and rings. A scary looking middle age man with a black moustache answered the door.
"Uhm, Your son forgot something" I mumbled.

I tried to look into the house and that's when I saw billy fresh blood on his just washed hair. His eyes watering and his hair looking like it's been pulled around lots. Blood was everywhere, in his mouth in his nose he even had a cut in his eyebrow. He was next to a ginger girl with freckles. Not much older then that Russian girl from last year.
"IS THIS YOUR FAG FRIEND!" He screeched looking back at Billy.
Oh shit. I should never have came back. I didn't know what to say. The man slammed the door in my face without taking his stuff.

Billy's pov:

"HES JUST A FRIEND I SWEAR!" My voice cracked.
I had liked Steve since I joined the basketball team. We were probably more enemies then 'friends'.
He kicked me in the rib and I cried out loudly.
" Neil just leave it Max is fine!" Susan finally spoke up.
"I'm not having my son embarrassing my family name again." He mumbled with his last kick.

He left with Susan to disappear off for the rest of the day like always and it just left max and me. I probably don't appreciate her as much as I should. She silently sat me on the couch and wiped the blood of my mouth. "Thank you," I croaked quietly.
She gave me and ice pack for my ribs and went off to her room.
