I was walking down cherry lane, trying to find the words to say to Billy when I'll see him.
I was whispering to myself when I lifted my head up to see Max and El facing me. They stopped their conversation to look at me.
"- Hey girls !" I said feeling awkward.
"- y/n, what are you doing here ?" Max asked
I walked closer to them and I looked all around me searching for a lie, but I couldn't think of anything sounding credible.
"- yeah uh ... I ... I'm here to see Billy actually." I said and they looked at each other before looking at me.
"- What ?" I asked.
"- We saw-" El started but Max stopped her from talking.
"- Nothing to worry about, but I don't think he's here. Wanna come over though ?" She offered and I nodded.
We walked in and we all three went over to his room's door. Music was playing inside. We got in and I got struck by the smell of cologne and cigarettes. Empty beer cans were all over his furnitures, clothes on the floor and his tapes were all over his bed.
Max walked over to the nightstand and opened it, before acting nauseous seeing penthouse magazines.
"- Ugh... Gag me with a spoon." She said before closing the drawer.
I chuckled and looked around. I saw a picture of me resting on one of his chairs. I took it in my hand and smiled briefly.
El then went towards the bathroom and Max followed her. I went over to them.
"- Can you tell me what you're searching for, girls ?" I asked crossing my arms.
Max looked at me and sighed. She looked like she really didn't want me to know about it.
"- We ... Played a game, with El's powers. And we spied on Billy."
"- Okay. And ?"
"- El ..." she started but El cut her off.
"- I saw him with a girl. And I heard ...screams." She said blankly.
I felt my heart sting.
"- screams ?" I asked
"- I don't think they were happy screams." El added and Max sighed.
"- Happy screams ? What are happy screams ?" I asked chuckling
"- Nothing, but we think something might be wrong with him. Did you notice anything ?" She asked.
I mean, he wasn't acting like usual towards me. But I thought it was maybe a phase. On the other hand, something seemed really off.
"- yeah, but nothing hard." I shrugged.
El went towards the bathtub and we saw three packs of ice cubes floating in cold water. Max picked one of the plastic bags.
"- Ice. It's just ice. It's probably for his muscles, or something. He works out like a maniac." She said before looking at me.
"- I wonder for who he does all of this." She smirked looking at me and I pulled out my tongue to her.
El turned around and looked at the doors under the bathroom sink. I crouched next to her and we saw blood on the door handles. We looked at each other and El opened them. She got out a small green garbage bucket.
"- What is it ?" Max asked while El pulled something out of it.
It was red lifeguard first aid kit. There was a yellow whistle attached to it, stained in blood. I gasped while the girls looked at themselves.
"- Okay, now you're freaking me out." I said standing up and walking backwards.
"- We should head to the pool." Max said.

It was pouring outside, and we finally arrived in Hawkins pool. People were running out, trying to protect themselves from the rain.
We went to the reception and saw a boy and a girl sitting at the front desk. They were flipping through magazines and looked up to us when Max walked towards the desk.
"- excuse me ?"
"- No one in the water until thirty minutes after the last strike. And don't try to argue with me. You want to get electrocuted, go climb a tree." He responded without looking at us.
I rolled my eyes and Max groaned.
"- Yeah we don't care we're not here to swim. Or get electrocuted." She said
The boy lifted his head up and looked at me. He then turn his head to smirk at the girl beside him before turning his stare back to me.
"- And your boyfriend isn't here neither, Harrington." He giggled.
"- We're not here for that neither, and he's not my boyfriend." I replied and El held out the kit.
"- We found this." she said.
He looked at it and sighed.
"- Looks familiar ?" I asked in sarcasm.
"- Oh yeah, that's Heather's. I'll get it back to her." He said.
Of course it was heather's. If billy was "screaming" with a girl, it had to be her. Fucking slut.
"- Don't bother, I'll return it to her." I said with a sarcastic smile.
« - you could. except she's not here. bailed on me today. » he responded and we all three looked at each other.
« - what is this ? you girls want a reward or something ? » he chuckled and the girl next to him smiled.
I sighed and Max faked a smile to them.
« - No. we're just ... good samaritans. » She said.
El noticed the bulletin board behind us and walked towards it. I followed her and Max quickly went with us.
I immediately looked at billy's photo, looking incredible as always. I smiled lightly, missing him. Then my stare was appealed to Heather's picture. I pointed at it while El looked at the photo.
« - Heather. » She said.
« - Yeah, that's her. » I approved.
« - Do you think you can find her ? » Max asked and El ripped the photo out of the board.
