It shouldn't have been possible to feel so much pressure in your chest besides the affliction that was making my heart strings bleed for the boy in the trailer behind me. It should've been illegal for a human to make another feel this way, but fortunately for Eddie it wasn't, so it was easy enough for him to destroy my whole world in the space of minutes.

I hadn't left the trailer park yet. I was stood in the middle of the road that lead onto Kearly as the rain thrashed down onto my skin, most likely going to give me hyperthermia if I was to stay here any longer. But I didn't have the energy or courage to leave. I had no where else to go and I wasn't ready to leave. I wasn't ready to walk away from me and Eddie and I certainly wasn't okay leaving it the way we had.

"Billy.." I cried and sighed, leaning my head back and allowing the acidly water to connect to my skin and run down it, changing the temperature of my body. Out of all the people I called for, it was ironic it was him.

Steve would've beaten Eddie's ass right now if he could see the state I had become, and Robin would probably try and have a go after Steve as well, yelling some shit like 'you stupid dick!. That's my friend you've hurt!. MY friend!. Look at her!. Look at her as I beat your ass, bitch!.' Which sounds quiet funny, but I knew it wouldn't be if it was a real situation. Kathleen would give him the death stare for the rest of her life and make sure he knew exactly the wreckage and pain he had caused me, but for my sake and my sake only, she wouldn't hurt him.

It was nice to know they cared for me, but not the way Billy did. Even with his love for me, I still would rather be with him rather than them, because he wouldn't dare say something to hurt my feelings in that moment. He wouldn't say horrible things about Ed nor reassuring things, just rubbing my back and letting me know that my heart ache was valid and he was there if I needed him to be there.

We were definitely twins in another life.

From besides me, as I stood deep in thought as the numbness didn't dare to give me a warning that it was approaching again, I heard the wet sloshing of feet in the mud. I opened my eyes and lowered my head, turning towards the noise to see a worried and wet Billy Hargrove approaching me.

"What the fuck are you doing, Kim?!." He called to me from a little distance away, marching over to me in just a pair of shorts and a white wife beater. "You're going to get ill." He carried on as he approached me, his arms instantly curling out to grab my body and pull me into him. I rested my head on his shoulder as he forced my body to move with his, guiding me across the mushy road of Forest Hill's and towards the front door of his trailer where he pushed me inside gently and locked the door behind us.

"Kim?." I heard my name leave somebody's mouth from the sofa area. I let my eyes wander over to the noise and saw Max standing up from her position on the couch with a concerned eye. "What happened?." She asked Billy rather than me, pulling her headphone down to around her neck.

"I don't know." He muttered and moved around to my other side so I could see him. "I found her like this on my way back, just stood in the middle of the street." I felt my bag leave my fingers and another set of hands guide me over to the sofa as they spoke to me as if I wasn't there.

"Eddie." I said and finally looked up to the siblings who were watching me as if I would shatter into pieces at any given moment. "He..he broke up..with me." It took me a few extra seconds to get my words out as I slowly allowed the words to sink in. "He-" I took a breath in and made direct eye contact with Billy, remembering that he was the main source to our breakup and he didn't even know it. "We fought - he said some horrible things and I-I..I did too." I tried my goddamn hardest not to cry any more than I already had.
