"Friends to ...?" Harringrove

Chapter 7:

Billy's pov: I woke up to the sound of Niel knocking on my door "BILLY WAKE THE FUCK UP THIS INSTANT"

"OK JEEZ.."

I nodded and got up, and opened the door to see max and Niel standing outside

"Fuck.." I thought to myself, maybe just maybe she actually did tell her..

"You are taking max to the arcade. Hurry up and get ready, she already ate breakfast, if she isn't with you when you get home, you should know what happens. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir.." I nodded, closed the door and got ready, jeans, with a red shirt, unbuttoned on the top. I fixed my hair and walked downstairs with max

She whispered "my friends are going to be there too, which means Steve would be there. So you aren't gonna be the only one" I nodded and got the keys

I drove to the arcade, the car ride was quiet as usual, I let max put on the music for once, I felt decently happy for once?

We got to the arcade and started to walk inside, we saw her friends, so she ran up to them and they did their things. I stood against a wall in the corner until I saw Harrington, Steve Harrington. I walked over to him, calling out his name, we needed to talk.

"Well hello there pretty boy"

"Hi? The hell are you doing here?" Steve questioned me, looking confused

"Niel told me to watch Max here so yeah.."

"Oh okay" Steve said as he was just about to walk away but I grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

"We need to talk.."

"But not here.."

Steve nodded and followed to be a quiet area

"We need to.. talk about what happened that day."

"What about it?" Steve said effortlessly

"What do you mean-?! How the hell are you so cool about it?!" I groaned

"Bills, darling, you kissed me."

My heart fluttered at that. 'Darling' how on earth did that roll off his tongue so easily? I thought before I then replied

"I- i-" Steve laughed. I looked at him incredibly confused "what?"

"Oh nothing it's funny when you stutter darling"

"W-whatever! Stop trying to chan the subject!"

"Okay okay fine."

"Thank you. Look I should've never kissed you.. I didn't know what I was doing and- and it's wrong to kiss you and and-"

He didn't let me finish my sentence, before I could have said anything further, henpecked my lips before walking away to be with the kids

I stood there in shock, I didn't move, I didn't say anything, my mouth was wide open.

"Why did he do that?"

"Did max tell him?"

"Does he know"

"Maybe it was payback?"

The thoughts kept going through my head, before I walked around the arcade until it was time to bring max home.

I picked up max, and she shrugged walking back to the car

The car ride was again quiet, but it's a good kind of quiet

I told max to go quickly in her room, cus I knew for a fact that Niel was home drunk again

She nodded and quickly ran up to her room, closed her door but it was open a tiny bit, to hear their conversation

Conversation with Billy and Niel:

"Did you take her to the arcade."

"Yes sir.."

"Did you buy her anything?"

"Yes sir.."

"Did you spend time with her."

"Yes sir.. she played games."

"You didn't go talk to any guys did you?"

I looked at the ground, I couldn't tell him the truth..

"No sir"

"Look at me when I'm speaking." He walked closer, with the bottle in his hand

"Now. Did you talk to any guys?" He shouted in my face

"No sir."

"Good. I don't want my son hanging out with any guys while he's still in this house. Do I make myself clear."

I didn't say anything

Slap

"Do I make myself clear!"

"Yes sir.." I nodded quickly

Another slap

"Go to your room."

"Yes sir."

I walked quickly to my room, and shut the door
