Chapter 5: The Handsome Devil Waiting

We laughs for what seems like the thousandth time tonight. "Did you really say that to him Baby Doll ?" I shake my head still letting giggles out "Yeah it was great, you should of seen the look on his face ! Although it did land me this sucker." I said pointing to the war scar on my cheek, his face instantly softens he was never the type to sit back to let shit happen. "Kat, you know you don't deserve it right ? All that crap ? The abuse ?" he groans and runs his hand through his hair "I wish I can stop it." Than a idea pops into his head from that look I am so familiar with, he out stretches his hands to grab my hands "Baby Doll ? Why don't you move in with me, with us in Maysville ? You can come back visit whenever you want, you can be away from that abuse." I think for a minute "Jacob ? You know I can't do that." I take a deep breath knowing the fight that will come of this. "I just can't let that abuse get worse if I do come back, or that abuse being turned on Steve. I can't leave the kiddos here. I have school that I just started, I can't leave Jacob." Looking down not wanting to see the look of disappoint on his face. I feel the weight on my hands disappear "Fine, but don't come crying to me when shit gets worse. Because I was there for you Kat !" this is the point I turn my focus on him tears coming out, his eyes soften for a second from seeing my face but it hardens yet again. "I was there. If you don't want my help, then fine. Just don't expect me to stick around." He gets up and walks to the living room fading into the crowd. I take another deep breath wiping my tears from my face I look down at my wrist where my watch reads "8:45" I get up walking inside the house bumping into someone but I keep pushing through the crowd. Once I get to the front door I open it walking through closing it behind me and I don't see anyone out here "Where's your little boyfriend ?" my brows scrunching up in confusion I look behind me, right beside the door stood Billy smoking his cigarette rolling my eyes while looking at him "Aha, yeah that guy you saw me with is my best friend. More like was." I walk away heading to the drive way to get into my car opening my car door I hear Billy calling at me I look at him "Hey, are you leaving so soon ?" smiling I reply "Gotta pick up some kids, but I'll be back. You can't get rid of me so quickly." I get inside my car taking a glimpse at Billy who throws his cigarette to the ground walking back inside. I speed off driving to the arcade, I think of everything that happened tonight. Maybe I should visit Pitbull in Maysville sometime, but I don't think I can stay. I have my life here in Hawkins, I know he only wants the best for me but I just can't do that to everyone here. Not even realizing that I'm not paying attention to the roads I don't realize I been speeding through the streets. I slow down and shake my head a little bit knowing this isn't the time for me to space out, I slowly approach the arcade and park in the front of the arcade. I stop my car then I look at my wrist watch "8:55" I still have some time I relax in my seat tilting my head back I think to myself that I'm totally getting wasted tonight once I get back I hear a group of kids yelling back at forth I look towards the source and see the kiddos I get out of my car and pull the seat down I lay an arm on the top of my car and prop my elbow on the car leaning my head on the palm of my hand watching the guys talking about someone named Mad Max I hear a beep I turn my head to the source including the kids as well I see Mrs. Byers honking her car for Will, they all say their good byes Dustin Mike and Lucas walk over "Hey guys, how was it ?" they didn't hear me but Dustin gets in the passenger side with Mike and Lucas going around my car to get in from my side they all get inside and I pull the seat up. Getting in I slam the door and turn around a little bit to face all three of them "GUYS !" they stop their bickering and all face me. "What happened ? What's the deal with this Mad Max thing ?" they all talk at once laughing I yell over them "Not all at once guys !" they stop and Dustin speaks first "So Kat you know how I had six hundred five thousand seven hundred, three hundred twenty score ? It's six hundred five thousand, nine hundred ninety tonight !" then Mike cuts in "Yeah ! But this Mad Max person has seven hundred fifty one thousand three hundred !" Mike cuts in as well "Yeah !It was on all of the games that they had in there, which is like impossible !" I finally speak "Isn't there a little red head girl who is new here ? I know I saw her today." They look at each other confused "I don't know, we didn't get any new students in class." Lucas states "Alright guys, you can investigate tomorrow. It's getting late and your parents will kill me." Laughing I turn on the car on getting comfortable in my seat we zoom to Mike's, the boys laughing and talking away at who they think Mad Max is. I stop by the curb in front of the Wheeler's home, I get out popping the seat down as Mikey climbs out, running to his front door "Bye you guys see you tomorrow !" the two remaining kids I have in the car said, more like yelled their goodbyes to Mike. I flip my seat back up and get back in, seeing that the Wheeler boy has gone inside we zoom away to the Sinclair house. "Kat ?" man I have to stop zoning out "Yeah guys ?"  Dustin speaks up "We're on Lucas's street and your still speeding." I notice this I take my heavy foot off of the gas just a little bit not taking it off just yet just enough to slow down. I spot Lucas's house and slow down stopping in the front like I did at Mike's. Dustin gets out this time popping the seat down as soon as it's down Sinclair climbs out "Thanks Kat for the ride, see you later guys." He runs to his door waving at us once he opens the door and then he slips inside. Curly puts the seat back up and sits back inside closing the door behind him, I stare at the little curly haired boy. I'm so happy that the people around me don't have shit happening to them like getting abused or kicked out nothing really bad. "Dustin ? I'm glad we're friends, your like my little brother ever since I first started babysitting you." His eyebrows raises up smiling his cute dimples showing through yet again today "Aww, Kat. You're the best sister I could ever of asked for." He leans his head on my shoulder I take my arm patting his head "I know kiddo, I know." He gets back up in his seat and we leave talking and laughing on our way to his house. We talked about his mom and how she's planning to go on a weekend spa day with Mrs. Wheeler and Mrs. Sinclair from what we know she tried asking Will's mom to go countless times but she worries for her boy too much and would rather stay home. Pulling into Dustin's driveway I stop the car, he leans over and gives me a hug "Why don't you come inside ?" I sigh and reply "I wish I could Dust, but I have a party to attend to after this." He lets go and seriously states "Don't drink too much, please be careful. Your one of the people I can really count on and talk to." I pull him back into a hug "Don't worry Curly, I'll always be here for you. Alright get inside knowing your mom she will come out here." Just as I said that a door opens and we whip our heads to his front door where his mom is standing, laughing at the coincident our stomachs hurting, mine hurting more because of my rib. "Dusty ! Are you coming in ? It's getting late, thank you again Kat !" he waves to me and gets out of the car closing the door behind him running to his mom slipping inside. His mom waves and I wave back, pulling out of the drive way and get back to that party I was at earlier getting prepared to get drunk. I take cigarette lighting it up and speed to Tommy's not bothering with the music right now, knowing his party the music wont end until midnight. I pull on the curb in case anyone needs to leave, I throw the cigarette to the ground stomping on it to make sure it's out. I walk over to the front door thankfully not seeing Billy, opening this door for the third time tonight I step inside the party still going strong as before. I find my way to the kitchen where all the drinks were, I look over my options. Red spiked punch the classic, I need something stronger than that. Seeing the whiskey I take a cup and pour two shots worth inside the red cup. More like half of the cup I down it all anyways, feeling the burning of it going down making me smile. I don't want to be completely wasted as of right now, I put my cup down walking to the middle of the dancing teenagers. Getting to the middle, I start swaying my hips moving my head from side to side and hands up in the air feeling the music in my bones. I feel arms snake around my waist not caring at who it is I continue on. I glance around the room and see Billy walking away, so I guess it's not Billy behind me. I turn around to try to make my way back to the kitchen feeling the whiskey wearing off. I come face to face with the body that belongs to those arms, I see none other than Pitbull. "I thought you were mad at me Jacob." One of my eyebrows cocking up he takes a sigh "Ouch, you only call me by my real name when your pissed off at me. Baby Doll, how about we get drunk and forget about it ?" I shake my head "Alright, the whiskey was wearing off anyways." He grabs my hand leading me to the kitchen letting go of my hand he grabs the bottle of whiskey but also grabs the bottle of vodka. Handing me a huge bottle of my favourite drink that's half full right now, his vodka the same. Raising the bottle to air I mimic his movements ready to toast to whatever "Cheers to meeting each other once and to still being partners in crime. Whoever chugs it will be the bottle king." Smiling glad to know I didn't lose my friend tonight "Cheers !" we drink up and everyone cheers and chants "chug" faster and faster and I obviously win breathing it down like it was air. All I hear is the cheers and grinning like I won a thousand dollars I slam the bottle on the counter feeling it hitting me a little bit instantly. I turn around to face everyone hands in the air "WOOOO!" everyone cheers a lot louder I scan the crowd seeing Steve shaking his head but a proud smile on his face at his little sister the bottle king, I look more to see the one person I was trying to forget in this moment but realize he was probably jealous. I wobble a little bit knowing this will definitely kill me in the morning. I turn back around to face Pitbull "Pitbull, I'll be right back wait for me by the dance floor." He nods and heads there I make my way to Billy who's by the other side of the room leaning up against the wall talking to some guy but his eyes not leaving mine. I strut over making my intentions clear that I need something from him. Walking up to him I look over at the buff guy beside him "Go find some bitch to fuck Marco, I need Billy here. " he nods and leaves not saying a word I turn my head around as I put my focus back on Billy I place my hand beside him leaning in close to his ear "Follow me." Nodding he does what he's told "Okay." I walk upstairs hearing Billy's footsteps behind me I walk into Tommy H's guest bedroom leaving the room dark and the door open for Billy to close. I throw my jacket to the floor feeling a little hot, I jump up on top of the dresser looking to the entrance of the door seeing the figure of Billy that's illuminated by the hall way light he walks in slowly closing the door behind him. In the dark I see his shadow walking over taking his leather jacket off as well from the sound and look of the shadow. I see him getting closer and feel him touching my thighs before he gets in between them his face just inches from mine "Hey princess." He said quietly just for me to hear, my drunken state not caring if he's calling me princess right now. "Hi blue eyes." I whispered back with my hand I reach up to touch the side of his face thankfully being successful in the dark "Billy, I'm sorry." His face coming closer to mine his lips just barely touching mine "What are you sorry for, princess ?" almost moaning from the close touch of his lips I manage to whisper out some words "I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable seeing me with that guy-" he cuts me off "I just have one question princess." I felt his hands squeeze my thighs I nod forgetting we're in the dark and he cant see but he probably somewhat saw my shadow urging him to continue "Are you with him ?" he takes a pause and continuing on "Do you have a boyfriend ?" in my drunken state I smile that he finally asked instead of assuming "Billy. I don't have a boyfriend, and that guy is my best friend will never be anything more. To be frank I don't believe in boyfriends. I don't think any guy would stick around long enough or I won't let them." My finger finding long strands from the nap of his neck, playing with the hairs there. Placing my free hand on his chest, I take a deep breath while I think I heard a low growl from him but I'm probably imagining it "What about you and Carol ? Do you have a girlfriend ?" I put the emphases on you as I asked. He chuckles for a second making me feel the vibrations from his chuckle on my lips and hand "Can I be honest darling ?" I speak back yet again urging him to continue "Of course blue eyes." I see him move to the side of my head whispering in my left ear "When I saw you and that guy I was pretty jealous, I wanted to be the guy, I wanted to be the one to take you to anywhere. I was convinced you two were a thing especially when you jumped on his back. So I found the closest girl to make out with, trying to forget you. But no amount of alcohol can make me forget about you, no girl can make me forget about you. And no I don't have a girlfriend." He moves back his face back in front of mine his lips just barely touching mine yet again "Oh Billy." Biting my lip I groan for a second which caused his hands to grip and squeeze my thighs, we hover above each other's lips before we crash together we hear multiple knocks on the door. I turn my head towards it and I feel him turning his lips to my neck, I moan from the feeling of him biting and leaving long kisses. He mumbles against my neck which ends up tickling me a little bit causing a small chuckle "Don't worry, they probably have the wrong room baby." I nod my head ready to turn my head back but the knocking persists and I hear someone yelling my name "Kat ? Kat ! You in there ?" we both groan and I get a bit mad lightly pushing Billy off of me "I'll be right back." Insisting he should stay where he is but he doesn't listen and follows behind me keeping his arms wrapped around me from behind. I open the door and see my brother, Steve's eyes widening at his little sister opening the door to a dark room with a guy behind her. With a nonchalant face as I speak to him "Hey, Steve. What's up ?" he clears his throat finally coming back to earth "Oh, um yeah. So Pitbull is downstairs asking for you and I heard some guys saying you came up here with some guy. Pitbull was saying it's something urgent. I'm heading home now, did you need a ride ?" oh shit I forgot about Jacob "No I'm okay I'll either stay here tonight or find a way home. Alright I'll be down in a minute." I go to hug him and I feel Billy's arm tighten before he let go hugging my brother he wraps his arms around me while whispering in my ear just enough for me to hear "Be safe, call me if you need me." I nod my head he lets go of me "Tell Pitbull I'll be a minute." He gives me a thumbs up and walks downstairs turning around to see Billy with a upset face I put my hand out on his cheek "What's wrong Billy ?" he sighs before speaking "He needs you. Just come find me when your done babe so we can finish what we started." He winks at me before kissing my cheek and heading downstairs. I follow not far after him, I instantly spot Pitbull and his eyes dart from Billy to me and back to Billy. He doesn't seem happy but when he notices me staring at him he puts on a fake smile walking over and puts an arm over my shoulder. "Who's that guy baby doll ?" I look up at him his face turning to a not impressed one "He's my new friend, he's a great guy. Kind of like you in a way." He takes in a sharp breath we make our way to the kitchen "What did you need me for Pitbull ? Steve said you were looking for me because there was something urgent ?" he smiles at the mention of this "Yes, we need to talk more drinks babe." I laugh a sarcastic smile "Really Jacob ? That's why you sent my brother to find me ? To drink ? " cocking my eyebrow up curious to know what his answer is "Yeah, you promised that we would get plastered. You never break a promise." I groan thinking the faster I drink the faster I can get back to the handsome devil waiting for me.
