Don't Call Me Baby (Billy Hargrove)

-Chapter forty five-

Emilia

'I'll push you down these stairs in a heartbeat if you don't leave me alone' I say followed by a laugh as Steve rolls his eyes and continues follow me to my locker with my books in his arms. He's been badgering me all day about me coming over to his house after school, I would take up the offer but I had to go home early and stay with my mother because my dad is leaving for a business trip for a few days, and she just feels comforted knowing I'm around when he's absent.

'Well can I atleast come over?' Steve questions as I pull open my locker and grab my books from him, and I give him a hesitant look.

'You can if you want, but I want to take things slow-' I start but then my eyes wander off to the sight behind of Steve, my silence causes him to frown before twisting around and spotting the same sight I see. My mouth runs dry and I feel my hands ball into fists as I see them.

Billy and Anna walking down the hallway, his arm draped over her shoulders while he wears a smug smirk on his face. His dashing blue eyes electric as they fall onto my figure, and his smile on his face only grows wider. Meanwhile Anna is wearing a satisfied smirk, while her arm coils around Billy's waist, claiming him as hers. Something that I liked doing, and did for a few months.

I felt betrayed, absolutely conceived from Billy and his words just a week ago at the party we were at, he told me he wanted a break, maybe he didn't get the definition of what a break is, but it definately means temporarily splitting to heal open wounds of the relationship to help solve the problems and bumps we faced in our relationship, not to go break up with me and completely claim Anna the next week. I felt the anger boil inside of me as the two of them stopped momentarily infront of us.

'Billy Hargrove, what are you doing?' I seeth, the anger showing in my tone as I question him, and I feel it grow hotter when he just glances at Anna and sees the evil smile on her face widen, and turns back to me with a smirk on his face. I was trying to hide how heart broken he was making me feel, but it was starting to show through as his coldness carried on.

'I'm sorry Emilia Reeves, but I guess you're just out of luck' Billy says coldly, and I feel my heart drop to the floor and my gut churn, my ears couldn't believe anything I was hearing, and I was starting to question everything Billy and I shared.

Did it not matter to him anymore, the memories we shared and the intimate moments, the love and care I've shown to him when no one else has. We've been through alot of shit together, and he's put me through hell, but I believed we were worth it, I believed that he was worth it. But now he was just throwing everything away for Anna, a stranger who's been lying to him about her life, he's just throwing me away for her. I felt heartbroken, angry and frustrated, so many things ran through my head but I couldn't process anything, and I couldn't form a response.

'You're an asshole, you've always been one to her, you don't deserve her, and you've never deserved her' Steve says as he steps foward and defends me, this causes Billy to drop his arm from around Anna's shoulders and he steps foward.

'Well she's never wanted you, and she'll never want you. She'll only want me, she'll only ever want me, so I think you should fück off Harrington' Billy growls causing Steve to glare at him before he brushes a hand through his hair and nods slowly.

'Oh she'll never want me, is that why she gladly kissed me the other night, in my backyard' Steve says smugly, and I sigh heavily as I watched the expression on Billy's face fall and he turns to me with and bewildered look on his face.

'You kissed him!' Billy shouts and I brush my fingers through my hair before nodding.

'I kissed Steve at his house' I state and this causes Billy to breath heavily as he tries to contain his anger, and I could already see this ending terribly. Billy brushes his hand through his hair, before he tenses his jaw and shakes his head. I exhaled heavily and prepared myself for whatever was going to happen next.

'You're dead Harrington!' Billy shouts before he grabs ahold of Steve's shirt and collars him before he pushes him into the lockers behind us. I drop the rest of my books and tug at Billy's arm when he refuses to let Steve go. 

'Leave him alone Billy!' I exclaim and Billy just shrugs me off before pulling Steve away from the lockers and shoving him onto the ground. Steve gasps out as he tries to catch his breath, but before he can, Billy lowers onto the ground and punching Steve straight in the face, I swear I hear a crack when he lands a second one on the bridge of Steve's nose.

By now people are starting to crowd us, cheering them on as the 'ex King of Hawkins' fights the 'new King of Hawkins' I hated this, and I knew I had to stop this, and unfortunately there were no needles with liquid to render you unconcious around this time. So I had to physically stop Billy, and by the looks of it, this was going to he a hard job.

'Billy leave him alone!' I shout as I move foward and tug at one of his arms, but he shoves me off so easily I nearly stumble back from the force. But I don't stop there, and the sight of Steve's blood was overwhelming, he was trying to fight back but just like last time, Billy was dominating and was hitting him continuously.

'Billy stop right now- or else we're done, everything between us will be over, and this time I mean it' I say in a serious tone, this causes Billy to snap his head back at me, the look of satisfaction on his face as he still hovered over Steve, and I feel my stomach drop when he shakes his head.

'It was already over before this' Billy says coldly and I feel my heart clench at his words, and I feel the tears prick at my eyes at his careless tone, maybe we were officially done, Billy didn't want me anymore.

So I just shrug it off like nothing and move foward to shove Billy, this causes him to stumble onto the ground and land on his butt. I block Steve and make a barrier between Steve and Billy so he could stop his merciless assault, and Billy glares at me as I glare at him back, trying to hide the hurt I was feeling.

'Leave him alone... leave us alone' I gasp out as I rest my hand on Steve's leg and watch as Billy stands up and brushes off his pants.

'Gladly' He mumbles out before I watch him walk back to Anna and continue down the hallway with her. Billy Hargrove was no longer the boy I loved, he wasn't the sweetheart I learnt to care for, and he wasn't the Billy I watched cry over his dad and thought of me leaving him one day for his imperfections, no, this was the Billy everyone else saw.

And as the crowd slowly left and I was hovering over Steve, who's face was badly bruised and had blood staining his skin, I realized the Billy and I were done, completely over.
