.

A/N:Joyce makes a appearance !!!so does Neil, ruining everything! I want to slowly put more characters making cameos .

A few more days went by, the guest house was slowly collecting more things of Billy's.

Boots,clothes,records and all his hygiene products. He owned more hair spray than his girlfriend did.

So he had practically moved in!!

She tried to keep everything in order so Steve wouldn't get mad about him crashing longer than expected. He was so messy it actually was driving Autumn insane at times.

She wanted to give the mall a break. Discover what else the town had to offer. Since she was deeply considering moving there now.

She stopped by the city pool to see Billy on break.

She wore a sundress that was all black and had a slit up both sides. She always knew how to dress to impress."So I made you lunch, didn't know if you were in the mood for chicken salad sandwich or roast beef with provolone,so I made you both" she handed him off the brown bag.

He looked in the bag and smiled at how thoughtful she was to make two different kind.

"I appreciate that doll." he puts his hand under her chin and then without realizing his own reflex, moves his thumb over her bottom lip back and forth and slightly pulled it down .

Her eyes fluttered at his flirtatious motives.

"Billy, were in public." she distressed looking around to see if anyone saw that.

"How about we take my break somewhere private" he leans in whispering in her ear.

She smirks, he just doesn't get enough does he?

Autumn had a few things she needed to do while in town with some of her savings.

She wanted to give middle America a try and stir away from the mall a bit. Which meant checking out a drug store 'Melvald's general store' .

As soon as she entered a woman that was adding items to a 'on sale ' table approached her.

"Hi, welcome in! " she smiled huge.

"Hello, do-- you have'- these items? " she said losing her train of thought looking for her list in her purse, not realizing Neil had entered the store.

"Joyce I'm going to need a few things, and I'm in a rush" his deep voice said behind her as his hand slapped the counter with a list.

Autumn knew that fucking voice anywhere.

Joyce looked at Autumn apologetic to need to help someone else out of the blue.

" Yes , Sir .. I'll get these for you." Joyce said taking the list and going bee lining to some aisles.

"Autumn? huh' that you?" Neil said moving to the side to see her profile.

She slightly turned to him and didn't answer.

Why the fuck would I answer!!"Hardly recognize you without your head up my son's ass!" . he said low enough not to draw Joyce's attention.

"Kiss my ass" she said harsh making full eye contact.

Neil and Billy have that same crazed looked on their faces.

God is that terrifying!!

And she JUST bought it out in him.

"Not in my life you Mulatto slut." He spat looking her up and down.

Her stomach dropped. Her mouth dropped.

This fucking man was a joke, a.damn racist.

Joyce came with a brown bag full of items after the silence between the two.

" Sir, that will be 9.50." Joyce said showing him the price she added up.

Neil promptly put gave her a ten dollar bill and grabbed the bag and gave her a Joyce a smile ever so sweet , as if he was a angel.

And right before Neil leaves the store, door open..he turns with this cunning smug look on his face and says in a ever so condensing voice.

"An tell my boy, get the rest of his shit out my house since he's playing "house" with you."

Confronting him, telling him how is father is kicking him out and go get the rest of his things.

He paced back and forth worried, calculating numbers out loud.

"Fuck, I can't afford my own place right now!!!" he said in rage. His veins in his necks visible. Breathing hard. He's shirtless in just jeans and the amount of sweat his body is producing is insane.

"Billy... yes WE can!" her soft voice spoke as he turned at her , his eyebrow winced and he took out his zippo from his pants pocket going for a cigarette.

"I'm going back to California--

Billy looks slightly panicked at her words and sighs heavily while blowing smoke.

Running away when times get rough?

"--to handle some things and I'm coming back to take care us."

Her heart was beating like a drum, nervous about his reaction..

Staying in Hawkins was not his dream.

"Staying here? Baby that's not your job to take care of me, I don't need to feel any fucking less than a man."

Billy and his ego. jeez.

"Please." she plead walking over to him and hugging his arm.

"I know it's not ideal, but this place has grown on me, together it's easier to afford and-- I want to watch over Max as long as she living with that monster." she explained.

He exhales the smoke titling his head back , making sure to avoid her face

"Sure... I'm going to head over there and get the rest of my shit out his place." he answered her

Autumn let go off his arm and rushed over to get a jacket , ready to help move him out.The day shes been waiting for.

"Alone Autumn!, you stay here, your not going back into that house" he demands, his assertive and protective side was differently a turn on.

Neils house:

He knocks on the door of his former house, he has no need to use the keys anymore. It wasn't his home anymore.

He waits and knocks on the door again , a little harder losing his patience.

"Coming!!" he heard the familiar voice of his step sister. She cracked the door open and saw Billy. It had been a while since she's seen him, but she had heard the conversations about Billy and Autumn between Neil and Susan.

"Billy.." her voice sounding sympathetic for him.

Which already made him feel uncomfortable about being here.

The door got wanked wider from behind Max, there was his dad wanting to have a good look at his " piece of shit son".

"You're little fling couldn't make it ? Glad she gave you my message!" he chuckled pointing down the hallway to his door.

He had nothing to say back. Billy started to enter the house.

He felt his dad's hand push against his chest.

"Uh Uh, you don't live here boy, you ask about entering my domain." Neils harsh tone bothering him once more. His smug smirk was getting old.

He pinched his bridge of his nose annoyed at his dad's authority.

Trying not to make it worse and get in and get out.

"Can I get my things ?..sir."

Neil nodded shooing away Max from door. She looked so scared.

He gave her a small quick smirk, to let her know everything's ok.

He went to his old room. Where must things had been boxed up nicely by possibly Max, Possibly Susan. Somethings had been ravaged through.

He went over to his dresser and collected some items placing them in the half full boxes.

"Hurry up ..and get the hell out!" Neil shouted rushing him 30 seconds of being there.

Susan came to the doorway extremely concerned, her eyes looked puffy like she was crying. Indeed, she was.

"Please stop yelling at him, he's doing as you wanted!" she tears up , the first time ever standing up for Billy.

He couldn't cares less of her plea.

Neil pushed Billy against his vanity mirror, his back hitting it, bottles of cologne and hair spray fall to the ground.

He's not taking this shit, today.

Billy pushed back on Neil sending him to fall on his ass. The stupid look on his face, gave Billy such pleasure. He finally pushed back and damn did it feel good.

"Stay down!!" Billy yelled pointing down at the floor.

There was several knocks at the door, Max went to answer it and was shocked to see her cousin.

Autumn beelined it into Billy's room to help him giving Neil a glare on the ground, which surprised her! He had his hands up in defense.

"Baby , let me help." her soft voice said from the side of him.

The one thing he asked of her...to not come with him!! She couldn't let him endure this by himself.

"I told you not--" he started with stern voice taking her hand , his eyes shifting back and forth looking her over, worried and confused.

"I know, but it doesn't set right with me!You alone here.. " she huffed moving a strand of hair from his face behind his ear.

Neil had this expression on his face of shock, he truly thought she wouldn't show up. That's the moment he truly felt defeated to see how much someone was willing to stand by Billy no matter what.

Neil saw the calmness on his son's face now His body wasn't tense anymore.All the anger left when she consoled him, keeping him in check. He had learned to control his rage.

They loaded the boxes in her car while Max cried on the porch.

She hated to see them leave. She hated she was going to be stuck there.

Susan kept apologizing to the two lovers. Feeling guilty that she even told Neil about their rekindled relationship .

Honestly Billy wasn't accepting her "I'm so sorry guys." from Susan just yet.

"Babe let's go!!" he said honking the horn in his car.
