THE BATTLE OF STARCOURT MALL: PART TWO
Billy's eyes burned sizzling holes into Beth's shaking body, her nerves crawling.Black spider veins creeped through his arms and his neck, straining to reach his face that was dripping with sweat.
Something in his mind clicked, his thick wall of tears completely going away as he began power walking towards her angrily.
Beth whimpered, limping away as quick as she could.
Max, El and Mike came running out of the nearby gate, and when they saw a sobbing Beth being chased by an angry-looking Billy, they rushed back inside the gate.
"Shit!" Max cursed whilst Billy sped up to gain on Beth.
"Go, go, go, go, go!" Mike screamed, slamming his hand down on the buzzer that shut the gate as Beth limped through it, getting to where she was right behind them and Billy was nearly trapped behind the gate.
But he wasn't; he managed to slip through.

They sprinted down the everlasting hallway, and every single time their feet met the ground, a jolt of agony washed through Beth's leg.
"In here. In here!" Mike rushed, leading them into a room that held their one way of escape- the elevator.
Mike slammed the pad of his thumb down on the buttons multiple times, rushing the machinery.
As they waited, the echoing slam of a door came from the end of the hall from where they came.
They all knew it was Billy.
Max slowly walked towards the door, but Beth stopped the frightened girl who'd become a little sister to her.
"It's okay. I'll handle it." Beth told her, rubbing Max's shoulder momentarily before walking outside of the door and watching as Billy sped closer to her.
"Billy." Beth carefully spoke. "Your name is Billy, Billy Hargrove. You live on 4819 Cherry Lane." Beth told him, her nerves crawling up her spine as his boots pounded on the concrete beneath him. She could see the tears in his eyes and the forced scowl he held on his face. Beth knew he didn't want to do this. But he was doing it anyways.
"Max, your sister, she's in there. I'm Beth. I'm your girlfriend and I'm pregnant with our baby. You don't have to do th-" before Beth could continue, the back of Billy's hand came down hard onto her cheek, knocking her out cold as a large bruise pulsed into her soft skin.
"No!" Mike shouted, watching as Beth fell to the ground, rendering unconscious.
Mike attempted to collide his fist with Billy's face, but before he could even touch the larger teen, Billy slammed him into the wall, knocking him out as well.
