Don't Call Me Baby (Billy Hargrove)

-Chapter twenty nine-

Emilia

'Get out' Steve demands after he hits Billy right across the face, this made me wince when I saw the mark that would soon accumulate into a bruise. I watched with a sick churn in my stomach as Billy and Steve began to punch each other in the face, Steve was getting his shots in while Billy just laughed and teased him on as he moved back.

'Steve!' I exclaim as he continues to hit Billy, blood was dripping down Billy's face as he moved back until the kitchen bench was right behind them, and I started to panic when I saw Billy reach over behind him and grab a plate, then smashes it over Steve's head.

'Billy stop it!' I exclaim while the kids behind us cheer on Steve, and shout at Billy to leave him alone. Steve stumbled back from the plate and Billy saw this as an opportunity, he lunged at Steve and began to punch him in the face, this caused him to fall off gaurd. Then I watch in horror as Billy collars Steve and holds him still.

'No one tells me what to do' Billy seeths before he headbutts Steve and throws him on the ground, I watch as Steve skids across the living room floor, his eyes shut tight as he groaned in pain. As Billy tries to go over to him, I grab ahold of his arm and twist him to face me.

'Billy leave him alone!' I shout but he just shakes his head before ripping his arm from my grip.

'I told you to fücking stay away from him, and this is what happens when you don't listen to me' He laughs out before he turns back around and goes over to Steve and hovers over him, he begins to punch Steve in the face, left and right, I could see the blood dripping down Steve's nose as Billy continuously hit him, letting out angered grunts as he did.

I started to breath heavily as I looked around the room and tried to think of a plan, then my eyes caught onto something on the shelf, it was the needle and liquid Joyce used on Will to render him unconscious. Max and I both had the same plan, if Billy wasn't going to stop, we had to force him to.

'Throw me it!' I exclaim to Max, who turns around and quickly grabs the needle, before ripping off the cap and throwing it over to me, I grab ahold of it and quickly walk over to Billy before jabbing it into the nape of his neck and pressing down. He stops instantly, dazed from the feeling in his neck, and he removes himself from Steve to stand up striaght. His hand comes up to the needle as he stumbles around, and he gives me a confused look.

'W-what the hell is this?' He mumbles out before he stumbles back and collapses onto the ground and lays there, he lets out bursts of laughter as he looks up at the ceiling, and I knew it was starting to kick in. Max came over with Steve's bat and threatened to swing it.

'From here on out, you leave me and my friends alone, do you understand?' She seeths and Billy just scoffs.

'Screw you' he mumbles out before Max swings the bat back and hits in between his legs, he looks down at the sight and his eyes widen a little.

'I said, do you understand!' She exclaims and he lets out a defeated sigh before he nods.

'I understand' He mumbles before he lays his head back and his eyes shut, the liquid had kicked in and now he was unconscious. I look over to Max who drops the bat and moves over to Billy, she feels around his pockets for his car keys, and once she grabs them out she swings them on her finger.

'Let's go, we had a plan and we're sticking to it' She states and I do a double take.

'Wait who's going to drive, you can't just leave what happens if you get hurt, you can't go-' I start to rant but the sight of the boys moving over to Steve who's currently still unconscious on the ground stops me. They all help hoist him up and they try to hold his body weight up between the three of them.

'Please, I know how to drive. And I promise, Steve will be with us, he can protect us-' Max says as she comes foward. I sigh heavily before rubbing my hands over my eyes as I try to think.

'Then let me drive you, I can help you while you're there-' I say but Dustin pipes up at the back.

'Someone needs to stay here with him, and we can't leave Steve here for Max's brother to wake up and attack him again, the needle was only quarter way full' Dustin states as he indicates to Billy on the ground, and I sigh before brushing my hair back and looking at each of them.

'Fine, but you have to promise me you will keep each other safe. Don't do anything stupid, and stick to the plan, and come right back here afterward, okay?' I say and they all nod and say they'll keep the promise, I give them a nod before pulling Max into a tight hug and ruffled her red hair.

'Stay safe' I mumble into her hair and she nods before mumbling back.

'We will'

I help them carry the equipment to Billy's Camaro and they manage to shove Steve in the backseat with Mike and Dustin, Max gets into the driver seat and Lucas sits in the passengers, she starts up the car and it comes alive like always, and the engine starts to roar. I watch them as they race off down the driveway, the cat swerving a little from the lack of experiance Max had in driving, and I groaned.

I hope I wasn't making a mistake letting them leave the property, espically letting Max drive a vehicle when she can barely control and could potentially crash and kill everyone in the car. But I trusted them enough to let them follow through with their plan, so I hoped for the best and turned around to the house and prepared to wake up Billy.
