          The young man didn't flinch, instead froze at her touch. Max sighed as she helped him inside, letting him rest on her couch only after he insisted on taking his shoes off. It's another habit of his...you can probably guess where he learned it from as well. His eyes filled with tears which he blamed on the sickness. He looked over with remorse in his eyes. "You don't deserve this, Max...I'm sorry." (Just like his final words- I mean pffft whattt-)
          "And I'm sorry you had to see this..."
          "Billy shut up, he didn't hurt me," Max replied in her usual tone, to sort of distract herself from the impending trauma. "At least you didn't leave me there right? Wouldn't put it past you though," she taunted to lighten his mood. Billy wouldn't let her out of his sight; he refused to sleep and she wasn't allowed to even use the bathroom without him guarding the door to make sure his father didn't find them.

          The whole time he explained, Billy's eyes refused to look into her own. The side of his head bore a shallow cut, his right eye being blacked and a small blood vessel was popped. A dramatic explanation but it didn't look like a fun ride in the car. Billy cleared his aching throat, trying desperately to not sound so injured. Though his bottom lip quivered. "Look, I just- I need you to give Max a place to stay because- it's not safe at my house."
          
          "Billy you can tell her-"
          "I /can't/ Max, it'll make things worse for us," Billy sternly (but weakly) replied, trying to seem strong for his sister. "Look, Amelia, I'll give you whatever money I have left just- please don't let him find her- I'll get a motel room somewhere just-" he anxiously rambled, hands shaking as he dug through his wallet to pull out money, dropping it and cursing as he nervously picked it up. "Sorry- I didn't mean to-"

          "And now he's a punching bag," the man boasted proudly, smirking. He tilted his head at her expression but shook it off. "Oh, and do you prefer sweetheart?" Billy winked at her with a dumb grin. He just found ways to piss people off. Why? Just because he could honestly. Plus, it's like a mating ritual for him (I giggled pls don't take that seriously). Plus super plus, a mad woman is a hot woman. "Or sugar? Darlin'? Princess?~"

          "Careful baby, might have to correct you," Billy purred, obviously in reference to William. He only smirked wider at her annoyance, lighting up a cigarette and taking a puff. "Y'know...I don't think you /need/ the Hopper name for that to be true," he taunted, then rolled his eyes at the last comment. "Fighting. Not my fault Hagan wouldn't stop squealin' like a little girl. He forgot I wasn't Steve," he shrugged, throwing a subtle jab (hinting to when Tommy and Steve got into it y'know).
