I sat in the passenger seat of billys blue camero with my arms crossed over my chest. He swerved through town like a bat out of hell but I didn't feel the need to say anything, we weren't on speaking terms at the moment. I tried to be his friend ever since I first dropped my number for him in the hall two years ago. I tried continuously to get him to change his asshole-ish ways but it was hard. I mean some behaviors can be unlearned but he's set in his ways. He whipped into the drive of his house and shut the car off, cutting the radio and making us sit in silence. He reached out to graze my leg but put his hand down when I crossed one leg over the other. He sighed loudly and I watched him roll his eyes.

"What is it gonna take for you to trust me again?!"

I rubbed my face with my hands.

"It's not that I stopped trusting you Billy, it's the fact that I never started and we've been talking for two damn years. Youre not a new toy anymore, you're not keg King anymore, you're not a kid anymore. We are graduating and you don't care about anything!"

He tapped his hands against the steering wheel but didn't say anything. I tried to study him but he wouldn't look at me.

"Billy I want to trust you. Hell I want to help you, maybe even love you some day, but you are making that very difficult for me. You sleep around, you drink and smoke too much, and you are the most self destructive person I know. I care about you and I don't want to see you hurting anymore."

He looked at me with a Stern gaze before climbing out of the car and slamming the door shut. I watched him walk up to his front door and open it, looking back at the car as if he was waiting on me. I shook my head and followed suit. When we were inside he brought me to his room and we sat together on the bed.

"Look y/n I know you think we've got a good thing going here or whatever-"

"That's literally the opposite of what I think."

"But we can't go on like this. I mean your heart's just gonna get broken, I can already see how jealous you've become with the last few girls I've been out with."

I blinked and Drew my eyebrows together.

"That couldn't be farther from the truth."

He looked at me with a serious face. I stared at him and tried to see his angle. He then smiled and let out a loud laugh. Soon he was laid down laughing hysterically. I just took in a deep breath. He sat up and straightened himself.

"I'm kidding y/n but I appreciate your concern."

I played with my fingernails.

"You know I really did want you to change in the beginning,"

I looked up at him and saw him staring at me.

"I wanted you to be better for you because I saw your potential. And I think that's something you don't necessarily see or think you have. And I want you to succeed no matter what your dad says."

He groaned and laid back down against the bed.

"Fuck him"

"Exactly my point bill. I don't want you to be stuck in this town with your shit family after we graduate and you haven't even so much as mentioned what you want to do. Have you been looking at colleges? Apartment's? Careers?"

He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me to lay next to him. He looked into my eyes but didn't say anything for a good minute or two. He ran his finger across my cheek before he finally did say something.

"Let run away together."

"You're joking."

"I'm not."

I sat back up and looked at him.

"How are we gonna run away together? Where will we go what will we do? We don't exactly have a plan, or money, or food or-"

He sat up and kissed me, making me stop. When he pulled away he smirked at me.

"You talk too much."

My mouth gaped as he laid back down.

"I have a plan y/n. I'm moving my ass straight back to California. I'm taking me, you, some cash, and couple of backpacks all piled up in the back of my blue baby."

He ran his hand across my back and I sat and pondered. After about ten minutes of silence he stood up and lit a cigarette. As I sat I watched him. He was getting anxious.

"So,"

He turned to look at me with hopeful eyes.

"We graduate, say our final goodbyes, then head East for the rest of our miserable lives."

I stood and took the cigarette from him, taking a long drag.

"We can get an apartment, find jobs, get away from the demonic bullshit of Hawkins. I say it's a win win situation wouldn't you y/n?"

I laughed.

"Alright, so we do this, we don't say anything and we don't turn back. What do we do if my parents want to see us? What do we do if your dad goes looking for you? What do we do if-"

He kissed me again.

"Don't think about it miss thing. I've got it covered. We take off the day after graduation and never look back, not at our parents, not at this place, we just go and forget our lives here."

I nodded and looked into his eyes. I pushed my pinky finger against his chest.

"Roommates until you can get everything straightened out. We figure out how to live out there from your experience. We go after graduation and agree to be packed and ready to go. No official goodbyes, no trace of our leaving, and we make it work."

He interlocked our pinkies and shook on it.

"We never look back and we live out the rest of our days as a shitty couple of friends in a big city by the beach."

He puffed his smoke towards me and I coughed.

"Guess we got some money to put away the next two weeks till graduation huh."

He smiled at me.

"Guess so."
