the battle of star court mall.

the battle where the mind flayer ended billy’s life. and drained el and her powers.

you watched as billy protected el, confusion filling your expression as el quickly backed away from the monster, your heart dropping as the monster hurt billy.

the roars of the monster continuing as your step brother screamed in agony, you cried out his name as the monster finally collapsed due to the gate closing. steve and robin hiding behind the railing quickly as jonathan and nancy checked to see if it was dead, same with will and lucas.

a fire igniting as mike and el reunited, el sobbing in pain.

”billy..? billy.”

you spoke as you walked towards your stepbrother, he just coughed out blood in response, you leaned over him placing your hands on his shoulders as you attempted to wake him up.

”billy, billy, get up, please. billy, get up, please, please.”

“im sorry.”

he interrupted, clearly sorry for everything he has put you through and way more stuff, you shook your head as you tried to wake him up.

”billy..”

you mumbled. as he exhaled sharply then died, your heart breaking as you tried to wake him up again.

”billy, billy, billy- wake up. billy, get up. please, billy.. billy- billy. billy..”

when he didn’t respond, you cried even more, your throat aching from the pain.

”billy!”

you sobbed, then sniffled. ignoring everybody’s guilty eyes on you as el grabbed you holding you tightly.

“im sorry.”

she spoke, pulling you away from his body, cradling you giving you the comfort you needed.

“its okay, its okay, its okay, its okay.”

she said, as she stroked your hair, looking at mike, her boyfriend, asking with her eyes on what to do.
