It was Thanksgiving, it felt so weird celebrating it in Hawkins this year. In New York, I would usually be with Anastasia and Adam at their family guest house or with my dad.
"Do we really have to go to the Hargroves house" I spoke hoisting myself onto the kitchen counter, "I already told Susan yes. Besides don't you want to see Billy" My mother spoke giving me a smile while she patted my leg, I rolled my eyes hoping off as we were getting ready to leave.
"You look very beautiful" My mother spoke which led me confused. I was wearing what I would usually wear. Jeans, boots and a cropped long sleeve. The only difference was how I styled my hair. Straighten and loose, "Thanks Ma" I spoke giving her a smile.
I stood in front of the Hargrove/Mayfield house arms crossed, Dustin right next to me. "Ready to see your boyfriend" He teased. I gave his shoulder a shoved "Shut up twerp" I spoke rolling my eyes "Okay kids come on" My mother spoke leading us to the door giving it a knock. Susan answers the door within a minute, "Happy Thanksgiving!" She cheered with open arms.
"Happy Thanksgiving Susan" I spoke into the hug as she squeezed me hard
"You too honey" She spoke Max soon joined pulling me in for a hug, "My asshole of a stepbrother has something to tell you" she spoke linking an arm with me. I nodded my head, heading into the kitchen when I saw Billy. He was with a girl, they were deep into conversation as they set the table. She was pretty, prettier than me I thought. Yes, it was probably catty to compare myself to this girl I didn't even know, But she knew Billy and that itself led to a little green monster to poke at me. I guess this was what he had to tell me.
I crossed my arms as I leaned on the doorway watching them, watching as they continued to deeply talk. Soon Billy felt my presence, I could see the sadness in his eyes but this stunt just reminded me of the same old Billy. Billy from back in High-school.
"Oh hello," the girl spoke walking over to me. Her voice was like a screeching in my eyes, Like nails on a chalkboard. My eyes moved to Billy, ignoring the girl completely. I didn't want to be a bitch fighting over a boy but this hurt more than before. What hurt more was that Billy would never change. No matter how much he'd say he did.
"Hey" I spoke pushing myself off to approach him meeting him in the middle, "Hey" he spoke softly. There was silence between us, My eyes soon moving to the pretty brunette girl who politely smiled making me want to vomit. She was nice and I was being a bitch. She either didn't know I fucked her boyfriend or Billy told her I was nothing and she believed him.
"Can we talk?" Billy asked making me meet his eyes. If looks could kill, he'd be dead already.
"Okay," I spoke walking out of the kitchen and soon out of the house, Billy following behind.
"So I'm going to assume that's your girlfriend" I spoke, my tone very harsh making Billy grind his teeth.
"I can explain" he spoke trying to grab onto my hands but I slapped them away backing away from him, "I feel disgusting Billy"
"Don't, You shouldn't"
"Does she even know?" I questioned but became disappointed when he said nothing. "She's so nice and pretty, way prettier than I am" I spoke as a tear rolled down my cheek. I wasn't crying because of her, I was crying because I thought things would be different for Billy and me, I thought things would be good.
Billy grabbed my hands and I was at my weakest to weak to even fight him, "You're the prettiest girl I know" he whispered kissing my hands.
"I think you should head back to your girlfriend" I spoke as I backed away, Billy following me ready to try and change my mind. "I'll see you around" I spoke as I got into my car driving away.
I took a deep breath before knocking on the door in front of me.
"Hey" he spoke
"Hey, Steve" I spoke hoping he wouldn't be able to tell that I had been crying, "What's wrong?" He asked. My lip quivered a bit before I reached out for him. My lips pressing onto his as he pulled me closer. I backed us into his house slamming the door shut behind us.

Holy shit guys! Does this mean that she chose Steve or is this pay back to hurt Billy??? More chapters will be out after November 29th (My Birthday) taking a short break but who knows. I always seem to put something out.
Also Happy Thanksgiving to you all! And happy birthday to our boy Dacre 💕
