Max's pov

I agreed to hang out with them after all. I still had trust issues but it's okay. I decided to give them a chance. Something in me felt like they were okay

Plus I smiled to myself when I heard the hangout place, the arcade. One of my favourite places. I was so happy when my mom told me that there's an arcade in Hawkins and a skatepark fortunately

School finished. Billy was waiting for me outside, leaning against his car smoking as usual. I let out a sigh, knowing that I had to deal with him.

"Finally, took you long enough" Billy said annoyed but oddly calm as max approached to the car. They both got into the car

"Hurry up next time shithead" Billy said as he started the car. "It's only been 2 minutes since the bell rang" max said quietly. "I don't give a shit! You ought to be right outside when the bell rings" he said grabbing my wrists quickly making me groan in pain

I never understood how he was right at his car when the bell rings, since Billy goes to school as well,he's 18 years old. I could tell he was still pissed of that we had to move here, so was I

I didn't say anything, not wanting to make him even more angry, if I do it would only get worse. "Do you understand?" he asked sternly still holding my wrists tightly digging his nails. It was painful

I nodded. "Do you understand?! Use your goddamn mouth" he yelled. "I-I understand" I said trying to calm him down. He finally released me. I felt like I could finally breath

He started driving fast as usual, so fast that he almost ran over a kid who was crossing the street. I told him he should be careful since it's a road literally at school so many kids would walk around there but instead he yelled at me and slapped me saying 'don't tell me what to do' and stuff

He didn't run over the boy fortunately, but he started laughing for absolutely no reason. "you could have killed him" I said. "Why? Why the fuck would you care? Do you know him?" he asked smirking.

I frowned. "no, I don't but it's a human being Billy you can't just-" I said but he cut me off by punching my stomach and stopped the car suddenly so fast. I groaned in pain. Well done max

"Don't fucking talk to me like that!! Who do you think you are?!" he yelled at me. Then he did something very unbelievable and unexpectedly. He grabbed my hand harshly, pulled my sleeve up and put his cigarette right on my wrist making me scream in pain as I tried to escape

He held the cigarette for 3 seconds but it hurt like hell. "Stop! It hurts! Billy please-" I yelled, as I felt my eyes get watery from the pain

He then stopped and threw the cigarette out of the window. I held my arm in pain. A few tears fell. "That's what you get! Fucking idiot" he said as he started driving again like nothing happened

"If you tell anyone about this, you know what's gonna happen" he quietly threatened. I didn't say anything. "Did you hear me?" he yelled. "y-yes" I managed to let out. "I didn't hear you" he said putting hand behind his ear pretending that he couldn't hear me

"Y-es I won't" I said. I was holding back tears. "good, you did this to yourself Dyke" he muttered. "Can-can you drive me to the arcade later?" I asked after about 5 minutes

He laughed. "We just got here in Hawkins and you already want to go to that place?" he said laughing. I didn't say anything. "Who are you going with?" he asked

"no one" I said. He scoffed. "with who?" he repeated. "Just-3 boys 8 met, they offered me to go with them" I said. "Wow" he said laughing. I frowned.

"people talked to you?" he said laughing. "Yeah?" I said quietly. That hurt inside to be honest. "No way!" he said sarcastically. "can't you use your skateboard or something" he said.
