Stanlonbrough

Bill was MIA. No where to be seen for a week. Well thats an over reaction he wasn't seen by the losers all week.

They were confused and worried so they sent his boyfriends to find him.

Stan and Mike walked to the door of his moms house, knocking on it and waiting patiently.

Bills mom opened the door.

"Hello Mrs.Denbrough, is bill alright? Wr havent seen him all week"

"Well hes in his room, but he hasnt come out since he came home from his dads. He seemed upset but wouldnt talk to me. I brough him food but i dont think he ate it."

"Can we try to talk to him?"

"Sure go right ahead boys."

They walked upstairs, gently knocking on the door.

"Bill?" Stans voice gently called out

"Bill open up..." Mike calmly tried to get him to open the door.

They didnt get a response so they tried to door which was open but blocked by something.

"Billy? Can you move whatever's in front of the door please?" They heard some shifting from behind the door and they got it open.

Stan walked in and closed the door again. Mike gasped.

"Billy. Baby..."

Stan turned around to see a bill with a red tear stained face, a cut down his cheek, tremors erupting throughout his body.

Mike was kneeling next to bill leaving room for stan.

Bill was still crying.

"Bill. Baby, what happened."

Bill just shook his head more tears slipping past.

"Hey hey its okay. Your alright."

Sometimes bill has bad flashbacks and bad depressive episodes and it seemed that is what happened.

He clenched his eyes shut and stan and mike held his hands, to ground him.

"Baby, can you talk?"

Bill shook his head,

Sometimes during or after a bad episode or flashback bill will be to shaken up to speak, or know hell have trouble, or just cant, different reasons occur a lot.

"Have you stayed in this spot the entire week?"

Bill pointed to the bed and held up two fingers.

"You were in bed and after you moved you ended by the door?"

Bill nodded.

"Okay well lets get you up."

They pulled bill up and he groaned in pain. His limps had not been stretched in days.

They sat him on his bed, grabbing one of the water bottles.

They had him drink some.

"How 'bout we get you something to eat? Okay?"

Mike gently helped bill up and they took him down stairs.

He sat at the table, his mother running over worriedly.

"Sweetie? Are you okay?"
Bill nodded and hugged her.

She grabbed a plate of food for him and put it in front of him.

Bill looked at it unsure before taking a bite of it, smiling softly at the taste of his moms waffles.
He only ate a third of the plate but that was still good for the three of them.

Bill crossed his arms in front of him and looked down again.

"Hey, can you tell us what happened?"  Stan spoke gently, wanting to make sure he was okay.

Bill didnt answer, but his eyes flickered to his mom.

"Sweetie, was it-was it your father?"

Bills head nodded. His mother looked like she was about to cry and bill had soft tears falling again.

His hands were shaking as he wiped his face, careful of his cut. Mike had already grabbed a rag and started cleaning his cut.

Bill flinched away as soon as he got near it.

"Billy... please i wont hurt you. I jsut want to make sure its not infected."

Bill moved his head back. And winced when mike touched it.

There was suddenly a knock on the door.  The door opened and he hears people running in.

In front of them was richie, bev, eddie, and ben.

"You didnt come back to we came to see if everything was okay." Richie spoke up from the group. "I-is everything okay?" Richie was worried and looking at the three boys expecting an immediate answer, hopefully yes.

Bill nodded as stan rubbed circles on his hand calmly.

"Your sure?"

Bill lifted his arms and started to shakily sign to richie, who signed back quickly.
'It was my dad again'(bill)
'Did he hurt you again?'(richie)

Bill responded again.

'He-' he stopped for a second the. Continued. 'He had is friends over again. And he let them abuse me and rape me and do whatever they wanted to me and let them throw empty bottles at me and in the morning i had to clean it all up and it happened almost all that weekend.' (Bill)

His mom and Richie ran over and hugged him as tight as they could, as bill cried again.

"Im so sorry bill. You never have to go back." His mother whispered to him. "We'll call the police and make sure you never have to.

Stan let then hug him as he had been with him all morning and told mike what he signed. The original four all know sign language, so eddie was translating for bev and ben.

Everyone was standing silently. Bev was holding bens hand, mike and stan locked hands and eddie stood  behind richie as he hugged bill.

They've known each other the longest. They met in kindergarten. They both experienced abuse from their parents, and bev did to but she didn't want to intrude.

Richie pulled away and bill looked at the group.

"Su-sor-su-sorry for wo-wu-wor-worri-worrying you gu-guys."

"Dont apologize."
