stranger- stenbrough

•18•

stan was walking on the side walk kicking everything that came across his path.

he gripped onto his backpack strip and held on to his luggage handle tightly.

he grabbed his phone and ringed bill.

bill quickly answered.

"stan whuh-whats wrong?"

"bill, i need a place to s-stay. i moved out."

"you can cuh-come here."

"okay, thanks."

"want me to pick y-you up?"

"i'm fine, i'm walking over now."

"okay, i'll suh-see you soon."

stan hung up.

he was walking to bill's thinking about what the heck just happened.

he started to tear up but he didn't cry all the way.

-

bill was to scared to anything, he couldn't believe that stans mom would do this to him.

he didn't know what his mom would say about stan staying here.

what about when stan needs parents? we can't care for him all the time.

bill heard a knock on the window, bill quickly opened it.

"hey bill."

"stan.."

bill ushered him in.

stan threw his backpack on the floor and ran to bills bed.

stan sat criss cross on the bed.

bill pushed his head against the head board.

"wuh-what are we gonna do?"

"you? nothing, don't get involved bill you shouldn't. this isn't your fault and i don't want you to get hurt."

"stan! i nuh-need to help you!"

"no! don't, i can handle my mom."

"stan..."

bill grabbed stans hands.

"i really luh-like you stan i don't want anything to huh-happen to you."

stan looked down at what bill was doing with his hands.

"i can do it."

"i cant luh-let you go through t-this alone."

"bill do you trust me?"

"stan o-of course!"

"then you know that i can do this myself."

bill sighed.

he kissed stan quickly on the cheek.

"please don't e-ever leave me."

"i would never, you mean everything to me."

"good."

they both smiled.

"let's get your muh-mind off of all this... luh-let's go do something."

"like...?"

"i don't k-know watch netflix or suh-something."

"oh you want to netflix and chill."

stan laughed.

"no! no, i was just suh-suggesting muh-maybe we could-

"it's okay, i'm only teasing bill."
