Billy Hargrove || MF

Ever since you were little you knew you didn't fit in with the others, not because you're weird or anything like that... but because in a small town like Hawkins, if you didn't settle into a group quickly, you were like an extra destined to wander through thousands of groups... you thought your life was going to be like that, a simple lonely girl until one day your family joined a neighboring family, the Hargrove family, and from that day on you and Billy were inseparable.
Being friends with Billy wasn't easy. As you both grew up, he became more and more of an egocentric jerk every day, but with you, it was different. Sometimes you felt like he shed that pretense when he was with you, as if you were the only person who truly understood him, and you loved that. But sometimes he acted like a complete idiot, like tonight. He was with his friends, making fun of everyone who walked by. You watched them silently, saying nothing, seeing how the alcohol turned them into even more animalistic than they already were, until your skin prickled when you saw the way Billy looked at you… looking at you with a mocking expression, making you think you were next. You didn't say anything. His friends started whispering things to him and pushing him toward you, laughing, until Billy finally spoke… “So… why are you here? Don't you have any other… you know, friends?” he said in that drunken tone before bursting into laughter with his friends. You weren't going to put up with that, so without saying a word, you left.

You sat somewhere at the party, and a long time passed before Billy appeared. You didn't even look at him, but you heard his ragged breathing… apparently, he'd been looking for you for a while. He sat down next to you, and silence fell. He looked at his own glass with a hint of guilt… then glanced at you out of the corner of his eye.

— You look beautiful today

He murmured as if those words had been difficult to get out, then after waiting a few seconds his hand almost automatically reached out to your face to leave a caress…what will you do?
