Don't Call Me Baby (Billy Hargrove)

-Chapter twenty four-

Billy Hargrove

Emilia wasn't home, I stood on her porch this morning ready to drive her to school, but when her mother opened the door she said Jonothan had arrived early and picked her up. That son of a bitch beat me to her, but I let it slide since she'd be at school anyway.

Until I fücking discovered she wasn't even there, she didn't show up to any of her classes and dip shit Steve was missing in P.E today too, so I doubt this was a coincidence, it felt shitty knowing Emilia wouldn't be there to distract me in my classes, so I decided to ditch the last two periods early. 

Now I paced around my room, my cigarette between my lips as I inhaled it heavily and exhaled the white air out. I drove all around looking for her, at the park and the stores, I even drove to the arcade to see if she was hanging around with Max.

Speaking of Max, she was missing too, she hadn't been home for most of the afternoon and I didn't seem to notice she snuck out until Susan and that fücking asshole came banging on my door about it, she's gotten me alot of trouble and I was going to kill her when I found her. But I knew I had to find Emilia tonight, it didn't matter if I was out until tomorrow morning, I was going to find her if it was the last thing I did.

But god fücking help me if I find her with that shit head Steve, I made it clear to her earlier to stay away from him, and I know she was bad at following my orders when it came to guy friends, so maybe I'd have to remind her. I let her and Jonothan's friendship go on because she was persistent on keeping him close, and the shit with his missing brother was hard on both him and Emilia, so for her sake I let it go.

But Steve Harrington, he was a different story, I know that ass wipe would try something on my girl and according to Ethan they have some history together, so I wouldn't be surprised if he tried making a move on her while he's single. The thought of his hands touching Emilia's skin, and his eyes scanning her body made me wanna throw a fücking tantrum, I finished off my smoke and discarded of it out of the window before grabbing my keys.

It's currently 8.45 pm and it's dark as shit outside, but I brushed my hand through my hair and made my way to my car. Tonight I was going to find Emilia and Max, and once I get my hands on Steve, if he's with Emilia or not, I'm going to beat his ass into a fücking pulp.

Emilia

(One day later)

'You're sure this is going to work?' I say as I grab a handful of meat from the bucket, it was a disgusting job, dipping my hand into the piles of raw meat, the pile that had been basking in the sun while we walked on the tracks dropping pieces as we went along. I'm not going to lie, I almost dropped my bucket from the urge of vomiting.

'Yes, it has to, Dart is going to get hungry and what's not better bait than raw meat?' Dustin says and I nod in agreement, he had a point, Dustin had been feeding that thing constantly while he was in his enclosure, so I doubt he'd last hours without food.

Steve and Dustin walk ahead, and it was a very rare sight to see, but somehow it just put a smile on my face at the unlikely friendship.  They both talked quietly to each other about advice on girls, and about this girl that Dustin sort of liked but didn't know how to express himself to, but I sensed that Dustin wanted advice from an actual guy, and who's better to ask about girls than Steve.

So I stayed back down behind them, keeping my fair distance so they could do their thing and talk, I trailed at the back just dropping the pieces of meat while I hummed a song. I wondered what Billy was doing, he was going to expect me to have an explanation for my absence, I mean he hasn't had any contact with me for two days, and I was more than sure he was going to be looking for me.

And when he finds me with Steve Harrington, he's going to kill Steve, then chain me to him so I don't leave him. I hated how jealous he was, even after starting on a new page, he'll still carry that trait until we die, and he was too stubborn to take a chance to understand where I'm coming from.

He isn't the only guy who wants to associate with me, Jonothan is my best friend and even Billy had doubts about him, but I wasn't going to let his dominance break that friendship. And I've known Steve since we were toddlers, we're basically siblings but Billy doesn't get that. It's like whenever he sees Steve he wants to strangle him. But that was a later worry, I didn't have time to think about Billy's strain on my friendships, because Steve and Dustin were calling out to me.

We left the tracks and walked through the forest until we saw a big junk yard full of broken down cars, rusted ones that surround the feild like the trees in the woods behind us. I followed beside the boys as we walked to the centre of the yard, we looked at Steve and he nodded in approval.

'We'll set up here'
