Chapter 55: Neil

Max's pov

*the next day, still Dustin's house after their sleepover*

After we both woke up, Dustin's mom made us breakfast. Dustin's mom is really sweet. At some point as we were eating breakfast, the phone rang so Dustin stood up to answer it

"it was mike, he told us to go over at his house to plan the surprise part for the Byers" Dustin said when he came back to the kitchen table.

"Oh um, I told my mom I would go right at home when I leave here" I said. "but you can't miss the surpsie plan-" he said but cut him self off as if he realised something

He probably thought about last night, when I told him everything. I guess he understood the circumstances if I didn't get home right away. By Neil of course.

He nodded. He sat back down and we continued eating.

*later after breakfast*

"I can drive you there honey-" Dustin's mom offered me as I was about to leave. "It's okay Mrs. Henderson, I have my skateboard, thank you though.. And for letting me stay" I said with a small smile

She smiled back. "okay sweetheart, just be safe and there's no problem, you can come whenever you want to" she said. I nodded with a smile and got out of the house.

As I was walking away I heard Dustin's voice. "hey max!". I turned around. "hey um, so.. I couldn't say anything earlier-" he started. I looked away afraid of the question or whatever he was about to say

"I figured that you'll probably be in trouble by.. Him if you don't go home right away, but do you think they'll be okay if you come over a bit later at Mike's? It's kind of serious because of will and el" he said.

I sighed quietly. "I really don't know Dustin, every day I go home and pray for a good mood of them, every day it's a surprise for me. I don't know what to expect" I said. He looked kind of sad by my statement and I felt bad about it

"Oh okay" he said, not insisting. See Dustin would insist, but right after I told him about everything he's more careful and didn't insist. But I don't really blame him to be honest because it's a normal reaction

Especially finding out that your friend is being abused. So I guess I get him. "I can try to ask my mom when I get home.." I said. He smiled slightly and nodded. "okay, be careful, if you need anything call me okay? Don't hesitate" he said

"okay Dustin, thank you" I said with a smile. He smiled back. "alright i should go, I'll call you if my mom agrees, what time are you gonna go over at Mike's?" I asked.

"uhh right now, in like 5-10 minutes maximum,he said around 14:30 pm." he said. I nodded. Then I left

*at home*

I finally arrived at home.. In hell. I took a deep breath before ringing the bell. Billy was the one who opened the door. I prayed it wasn't Neil but I don't want Billy either.

I didn't say anything, I just walked in. "Not even a 'hello? How are you?'" he mocked. "hello, how are you" I said forcefully, jokingly.

"I'm good" he chuckled. "Did you drink?" I asked. "nope, I'm just joking around" be said. I nodded and walked away. Fortunately he didn't do anything yet

I saw Neil on the couch once again. He didn't look much drunk this time. I mean, it was daytime too but day or night isn't really a difference for Neil. He drinks alcohol all the time

"where have you been" he asked, watching tv. "at a friend's house"i replied casually trying to hide my fear. "whose house?" he asked. I really hated those questions when I get back home

My mom literally informs him where I am why does he also have to ask me. Oh right, because he's drunk I don't know. "Dustin's" I said. "Who's Dustin" he asked. "A friend" I said

"is he your boyfriend" he asked seriously. "no he isn't" I said cringing at the idea slightly. I've never seen any of the boys as more than friends so the thought was weird.

"Hm, okay. Reasonable, the way you dress like a boy, who the hell would want you" he laughed. I didn't say anything. I just walked away hoping he wouldn't follow me

But of course he did. He grabbed me by my wrist quickly. I gasped. "Where are you going? We're having a conversation, it isn't right to walk away while I'm talking to you" he said, his grip tightening, making me groan in pain as his nails dig into my skin

"I-I thought you finished talking-" i said but he cut me off by slapping me. It wasn't just one slap.. Nope, he started punching me

I was so confused because it isn't a serious reason to hit me that much. He punched me once on the safe and 2 on limbs and waist making me groan in pain

He stopped as I looked up at him in fear and confusion. I didn't dare to speak. "A friend of mine says that there are rumors at the lovely school of yours that you're a Dyke, is that true maxine?" he asked calmy yet strictly and angrily

I frowned. "no it-it isn't-" I struggled to speak because of the pain. He punched me again harder. "Yeah right! I should have known!" he said as he punched my right side of my waist. " Look at the way you dress" another punch on my stomach. "the way you act" he said punching my face, limbs, right and left side of my waistn a word after word

I felt like dying. I couldn't breath through the constants hits and punches. Then he stopped, just as I thought it was over, I tried to take some air but he immediately grabbed me by my neck pushing me against the wall

I couldn't breath at all. "I swear to God if you're lying to me, you won't be getting out of this house alive and I'm so fucking dead serious!!" he angrily screamed on my face.

I don't know where my mom was. I guess she wasn't at home. I gasped for air. "I-I'm not-lying" I struggled to speak as I was sobbing from the pain. He really went too far this time.

"What did you say?" he pretended that he didn't hear me. "I-i swear I'm not a Dyke!" I tried to yell, desperately trying to get off his grip, to breath and leave before I get killed

Suddenly someone pushed Neil away so hard he fell on the ground. I tried to breath as I looked over to see who it was. It was.. Billy? What?

"Hey dad, you went too far, are you trying to kill her or something" he said. I was shocked. "What the hell do you think you're doing Billy, leave me alone, it's none of your business. She deserves it! She deserves to die and go to hell!!" he yelled at Billy's face

Billy however didn't react, no fear, no emotion. I knew that Billy was terrified of his dad. But he hides it. "go away dad, I'll handle her" Billy said. Of course he didn't come to save you, hell he'll probably start hitting me too

Neil scoffed. "whatever, I don't give a fuck about this useless stupid girl anyway" he said walking away. It was just Billy and me now

I was so scared as I still tried to breath. "Hey, I may hate you and all but I'm not letting him kill you. I ain't capable of that bullshit so you better be grateful" he said acting like he's done nothing this whole time but alright

"thanks" I said tiredly. I felt like I was gonna pass out. He then walked to his room. He came to save me so I don't die but he doesn't give a fuck about any injuries.

After a few seconds I passed out. All I saw was darkness, black..
