Autumn carries Holly around inside waiting on Nancy. Billy left already and just tends to Holly as shes asking her a thousand questions.
"How tall are you? Where are you from? What's your favourite color? Do you like swimming?.."
She glady answers everything she wants to know.
From the distance she can see Nancy and Jonathan coming from a door , creeping out.
She decides to meet them half way.
"Thank you so much !!! she didn't give you a hard time ?" Nancy asked trying to take Holly from Autumn.
"No! I want her to carry me!" the toddler swats her big sister's hand away
Looks like someone really took the liking to Autumn.
Later on..
Jonathan and Nancy drop off Autumn at her apartments. They had no problem after hearing she needed a ride since Billy left to a party. Plus they feel they owe her one for watching Holly.

8:00..10:00..11:45..12am..
She went back and forth on the balcony thinking of all the horrible things that could hade possibly happened to be so late.
Especially for someone who seemed he had no interest in going. Where in the hell was he??
She went back into the living room getting the pink telephone and looking in the phone book for the name of the hotel.
."God damnit Billy!," she curses opening the thick yellow pages.
Shes glancing over the few hotels Hawkins actually has and found it listed last.
Dialing the lobby felt strange, almost like a invasion of privacy.
The phone rung twice and a woman answered professionally.
"Hi, thank you for calling hotel 6,my name is Tammy how may I help you??" her accent was extremely strong, very Northern.
"Can i be directed to a room, I don't know the reservation name though?" she panicked realizing she went into this with zero information.
"Well ma'am we can't direct you then." Tammy says.
"It's a party, I'm sure there's only one going on there at the time, please." her voice breaks and her heart is raising.
There's a ringing tone coming threw now.YES!! She directed her!!
"What's up?" a voice answers, sounds like Tommy.
"Is there a Billy Hargrove there ? "
"Autumn? ,this is Tommy!!, he never showed! He's not home?!!"
He never made it? Then, where did he run off to? Was there a accident? Did he get a flat tire ? Run out of gas?

Billy's POV
He felt confused, His breathing was sporadic and his head spun.
He had hit something , Still not quite sure what it was. Not quite sure what even happen to him!!
He kept thinking "Did that happen? Did i see what I really saw?
His body and clothes smelt of dirt . Him walking was hurting for only a bit. He felt over heated. Like he needed to strip or go for a ice cold swim.
Coming into the apartment he closed the door shut. Feeling a urge that made him sick to his stomach. Like a virus telling him to do something harmful to someone. His hands shook.
He groaned taking off his jacket and shirt walking to the refrigerator. He needed some coolness. Opening it up the top and bottom. He grabbed what he noticed was a large bag pf ice and bought to the bathroom.
Filling up the tub with cold water and then mixing the batch of frozen cubes.
He got a sick hankering feeling in his stomach again.
He heard footsteps coming down the hall. Remembering he wasn't alone here.
end of POV.
Autumn creeped down the hallway after hearing the crunching sound of ice being broken in bag before poured. Startling her from the back balcony.
"Billy, is that you ?- Good.Lord!!" she shrieks seeing him covered in dirt and him looking sickly.
"What happen? Do you need help?." she stopped in her tracks looking him over.
"No. I'm fine." he answered looking her over. That feeling he had , seeing Autumn, he wanted to fulfill it.
Billy turned off the water and then refused to look at her anymore. Figuring it he ignored her, it would go away.
"Well, Im not accusing you of anything, swear! but babe, I know you never went to the hotel.. you're covered in dirt! " she said trying to keep her voice from becoming frantic with him. She walked over to him and kneeled to his level.
He was sitting on the edge of the tub.
" It's 12:30!Jesus, your bruised and icing yourself! Did you fight someone?" her voice cracked upon seeing the bruise on his face.
"Autumn, get away from me." his voice hissed , he pointed at the door to leave.
She dismissed herself slamming the door behind her. She wasn't in the mood to fight. She was going to give him space..for now.
Autumn waited for him to come out. It took forever for him to exit.
He body was completely ridded of dirt and his hair damp dripping on his shoulders.
He walked down the hall in the nude.
She just watched him as he seemed better now. He walked down the hall.slowly towards her . She sat on the edge of the bed watching his evert move as he entered the room. Stopping in front of her. Bearing his muscles. Chest. Everything!
"Ready to talk?" she said stern arms crossed looking up at his face.
"Yes, more than ready." he answered back.
"Look, you seem to have a stick up your ass about tonight. I gave you some space , but now tell everything!!"
He sat next to her.
"I hit a deer, tried to avoid it and spun off the rode, my car got stuck in a ditch. That's why I was covered in dirt." he answered almost like it was rehearsed.
"For 5 hours? You didn't bother to call me from a payphone for help?" she asked quickly.
He looked unfazed by her hazing.
"It's the truth if you want I can take you back to where it happen by the Mill. " he said with a smile that looked straight from a dish soap commerical taking her hand like he wanted to go right now.
It was rather creepy he would be so suggestive to going back this late to prove a point.
"No, that's okay." she said taking her hand back. "I'm going to take a hot shower. I need to relax... Im glad your home..."
Her hot shower was shortly interrupted by the door opening and closing.
She saw the figure of his body threw the white curtains.
The room was steamed as she enjoyed hot showers.
He slid the curtain open. Still bare . Looking at her almost confused.
"Autumn, somethings wrong." he says sounding worried.
(The hot is making him more Billy than Mind Flayed.)
He steps in the shower and holds his girlfriend tightly.
"Are you okay? ,she asked.
He just held on to her not saying anything.
Her eyes finally meets his blue eyes.
"I'm here baby, I've got you, always." she moves her hands to his cheeks. He leans in to kiss her.
The kiss is rough and hungry. She responds positive to it, returning back the kiss. Her hands move down to his shoulders, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I'll never hurt you." he whispered in her ear . Fighting every urge in his body that wanted to.
He lifted her up and pressed her back against the wall. She locked her legs around his waist. He was erect and twitched between her legs.
"Babe ..are you ok?" she needed to know
"I feel better now" he referenced to the heat that beat out the mind flayer.
He rubbed the tip against her folds entering her She'd been ready! 3 days of not having him. She needed this.
