Rachelle's Pov
the whole ordeal of working was that most people wouldn't bug you there cause they know you are working a shift. Unless you were my mother and sister. It was late into the night of my late shift at the arcade. I was half sleep on my closing shift with a good 20 minutes I had to get the rest of the kids up and out powering down everything and getting all the tokens what not. It really could distract me from mostly anything happening around me.
"Mom I'm closing the arcade I'll be back home in like an hour! Thank you for bringing my car though I didn't feel like walking." I chuckled through the receiver of the phone, I tilted my head up in confusion, muttering a quick I'll be home later. I moved my form around the back counters quick like jogging over to push open the screen doors quick like scrambling to have my arms hold up his body.
I was a little freaked out at his fanatics shouts and exclaiming. Billy was in more distress then I have ever seen before, these nasty like substance and blood was covering him. The tremble in his tone and throat like he was screaming too much.
"Billy! Billy hey woah what the hell happened." I shouted out frantically like hearing his frantic breathing and sobbing like he hid on my stomach. My grip tighten on his hair sadly holding him closer to me. I had to at least get him to my house. "Hey I got you. It's okay shush I have you." I whispered trying to keep my own nerves from exploding, holding the back of his head even more. What a hell of a night already.

Using the wet warm wash cloth I wiped off the sticky blood from my own hands, tossing it away into the sink. I shut off the bathroom light with a quick flicked walking over towards my bed. Billy was laid out on his side changed into a clean large shirt I had stocked in the back of my closet. I sank down to my side of the bed stroking at the shift of his curls.
"What happened?" I asked in a soft like tone. His breathing rose and fell fast like before he was speaking in a hush like voice like.
"Something attacked me.. I pulled to the side of the road because my head just started feeling dizzy I went into that abandon warehouse and it attacked me it was like a slug Rachelle am I going fucking crazy! I'm bleeding." I grab at his arm reaching out to keep him from freaking out more.
"I believe you okay Billy but you need to try and calm yourself down. You need to sleep we can talk about this in the morning." I pleaded to him. I found myself hugging his form from behind to ease a little bit of his shakes, feeling his hands shaky like grab at my arms to keep them in place. I rested my head near his neck it was the only way to calm him down the fast rising of his breathing had slowed down.

When morning hit the sun was hitting too hard into the bedroom soaking through the window at a fast pace. The arms that were around Billy seemed empty and small like in a way I wasn't fond of. It caused me to flutter my eyes open once awake in confusion, watching his form shutting all the curtains fast like with a groan holding his head roughly with his palm before he blinked rapidly shaking at his head.
"It's so bright in here.. I need to get home before my dad gets home." I sat up in the middle of the bed holding my face with both my hands, keeping my eyes on his frantic moving form. He looked extremely sweaty and in pain like.
"Are you sure you should be driving? You look like you are in a lot of pain Billy." The sleepiness was a little too much in my voice watching the way he rubbed at his face quick like.
"I'll be okay thank you for last night you truly are the best in my life I'll call you tonight." I was left in my own confusion when he grabbed at my face after moving towards my bed stroking at my chubby like cheeks pained expression through his eyes. He dropped down with one motion to grab at his boots and jeans grabbing his car keys leaving my room in a hurried rush speed.
My head just felt heavy something wasn't truly right. Something strange was going on and I knew the only way I would figure it out to the max is if I follow my sister around and hang out with all her friends. I was already close with all them, yet they seem open minded to urge me on the odd doings of Hawkins.
