Tainted Love ||Stu Macher||

Chapter 9: The Plan (Edited)

I really want to kill you
Wipe you off the face of my earth
And bury your bracelet, bury your bracelet
Six feet under the dirt

September 26, 1995

It was the night before Billy's plan, which is what he told them to say if anyone asked.

Lilly was over at Stu's, giggling softly as Stu tickled her neck with kisses. "What's with you today? You just want me."

"Is that a bad thing?" Stu chuckles.

"No, but if you mark me up, Billy will get suspicious." Lilly runs her hands through his hair.

Stu groans, "When are we gonna tell him? We've been doing this for four months, Lilly."

Lilly sighs, "I don't know, Stu. Okay? I'm scared that if we tell him, he'll kill you too." She gently pushes him off and sits up.

"Baby, we have to tell him now. The longer we wait, the more pissed he'll get when we do tell him." Stu says as he tilts her head up to look at him.

Lilly bites her lip as she debates on telling Billy.

"It's for the best," Stu says.

Lilly sighs as she nods, "Okay. I have to go home in..." She looks over at the clock. "...ten minutes. Shit. Can you take me home?"

Stu nods as he reaches over to the coffee table and grabs his keys before standing up with Lilly and taking her out to his car.

Stu pulls up to the Loomis' house and shuts off the engine before looking over at Lilly, who is chewing her lip nervously.

"You ready?" Stu asks.

Lilly exhales deeply, "Let's do this."

They exit the car and walk into the house, walking up to Billy's room.

Lilly knocks gently, Billy opens the door and looks at the pair curiously. "Stu? Lill? What are you--"

"We need to talk to you, man." Stu cuts him off, "Can we come in?"

Billy narrows his eyes as he nods, hesitantly. The pair steps into the bedroom and settles themselves in front of Billy's bed.

"So..." Lilly starts, anxiously. "Billy, I've been... having an... affair with Stu for the past... f-four months."

Billy's blood runs hot with anger as his jaw clenches, "What?" He growls.

Lilly widens her eyes, "Billy, please don't get upset--"

"What the fuck are you doing FUCKING my best friend?" Billy says louder.

"Billy, calm down--" Stu tries to reason.

Billy cuts him off, "Shut the fuck up, Stu." He snaps before looking back at Lilly, "Why do you have to be so easy? Don't you have any shame?"

Lilly frowns at that statement, hurt that her brother was saying so many hurtful things.

"First, it was the looks, then the sneaky touches and then I find out that you've been fucking him?! For FOUR months?!" Billy shouts as he shoots up from his seat. "What the fuck is wrong with you, Lillian? Have you no self-control?"
