Licking our Wounds

Chapter 8

Steve was sitting in home room when Nancy dropped her books on his desk. He looked up at her with surprise. "Nancy?"

"Where is Barb?"

"Uh, how am I supposed to know? You are her friend." Steve retorted. Billy lifted his head up seeing Nancy hovering over Steve with a look of anger plastered across her face.

"You were the last one seen with Barb the night of the party." She snapped.

"I left her outback, and then I went home with Billy." Steve muttered. "Ask him. I didn't see her come back in, but I also know that I couldn't have been the only one to see her, you did leave her at the party that you brought her to. Didn't you drive her?"

Nancy scrunched up her nose, she got close to his face. "You did something to her didn't you?"

Steve gulped and leaned back. "I would never hurt Barb, she isn't a bad person, like you are."

Nancy balled up her fist, Billy stood up and walked over. "What seems to be the problem, Wheeler?"

"Steve knows something about Barb," she snapped.

"Oh my god, for real? That girl was drunk off her ass, plus if you are such a caring friend why didn't you bring her home when you knew she was too far gone to walk in a straight line let alone walk home. News flash, Barb was outside when Steve came in. I saw her walking around the backyard, and then we left. You should have taken her home. Why do you care now?"

"Barb is missing." She hissed.

"Not on us, now go sit down before I make you sit down."

Steve didn't know how he felt being in the middle of their spat, she looked the two over, her eyes growing dark. "So help me, if you did something to Barb, I will make sure everyone knows that you wanted me t-."

"Finish that sentence, and I will hit you so hard. Girl or not, no right to be a fucking bitch." Billy snapped as he leaned in close. "I will end you."

Nancy stepped back in surprise. She turned on her heel and sat in her seat with a pout.

She didn't know if Billy knew what Steve had asked for, that he wanted to be fucked in the ass, but what she did know was Billy was now also her enemy.

Billy squeezed Steve's shoulder, and sat back in his own seat. He would get Nancy, one way or another, and he wanted to know what she thought she could blackmail what was his with.

Steve tried not to sob, he was almost sure Nancy had told more people if that was what he and Barb had argued over, and he knew Jonathan knew. Eddie walked into class as the bell rang, he could see Nancy looked angry, Billy was staring a hole in the back of her head, and Steve was hiding his face in his book.

Something had gone down, and he missed it.

He grunted as he sat in the back of the room, he wanted the day to be over already, but the day had only just started. He was just glad he could watch Steve from his seat.

Steve avoided Nancy at all costs, she was furious but truly had no proof he had anything to do with Barb's disappearance, if Billy had seen Barb after Steve left her in the backyard than something else had to have happened.

Yet she didn't trust it.

She didn't even think the two were friends, yet Billy threatened to hurt her for Steve.

She was almost sure something more was going on, but again, she had no proof of anything.

Gym class came around, Steve went into one of the stalls to change, trying to keep his new marks hidden. Billy waited outside of his stall while everyone had gone onto the floor. Steve opened the door only to be slammed against the wall. "Wh-whoa Billy."

Billy lifted him up, wrapping his hands under his ass. He kissed him deeply, he bit his lip pulling on the skin with a grin. "That bitch threatened you."

"I'm fine... I promise."

Billy rolled his eyes and dropped him back on the ground before he headed out to the floor, Steve waited a minute before he also went out. He was just hopeful his marks stayed out of eyesight.

They played dodgeball being split into two teams, Billy grunted as he was separated from Steve but stayed silent. Eddie couldn't help but be excited that he was on Steve's team. He was close to Steve's body as they began to dodge, Eddie's hand on occasion would brush his ass, at one point Eddie tried to catch the ball going for Steve and he placed a hand back which grabbed for Steve's crotch.

Steve thought it was simply close proximity and accidental touches, he didn't know Eddie was doing it on purpose. Billy couldn't see from his side of the court but he could see Eddie hovering close to what was his.

Billy got hit with a ball and went to sit by the water bottles, he grabbed Steve's and put half a roofie in it and watched it dissolve. Steve made his way over to the bottles as he got out and grabbed for his. He took a few swigs and sat back, he immediately felt off, but wasn't sure why. Billy grinned watching him as he got up, and walked to the changing room.

Steve began to pull his clothes on, but felt sick. Billy followed him in, watching him move slowly. "I'll drive you home, you look like you're gonna pass out."

"Maybe I didn't d-drink enough water."

Billy offered him his bottle and he took another swig, Billy helped him towards his car as the bell rang. Steve could hardly keep his eyes open, he felt Billy slide his hand over his thigh, until he slid his hand under his shorts and began to slowly jerk him off. Steve's eyes crossed as he tried to stay conscious. "O- oh...""You're okay baby. I've got you."
