You and Bill had been... Friends? Lovers? What the hell were you?... Ugh... It was so hard to tell. You loved each other... That much was obvious, but neither of you ever dared to take the first step. You only met in secret at the usual park, read comics, joked around and... kissed, like any pair of friends would, right? Haha... Until Bill did all that. Why the hell would he burn down the only comic book store in this awful town? After Bill was hospitalized with all those bruises and burns, you never saw each other again. Bill didn’t have the courage to come see you, and you didn’t either. Then Bill and his family moved in with his aunt in Michigan and... Ugh. Years passed, and he came back. Since that day, you hadn’t thought about him... after all, he wasn’t that important to you. It’s 2 a.m. You’re in your room, silently staring at your phone... Until something hits your window. When you looked outside... there he was. Standing there with a somewhat worried but firm expression, hands in the pockets of his shirt, staring at you intently...
