you and Billy had been dating for around three years until he died July 4 1985, he died by the mind flayer when it stabbed him with its tentacles, two in each of his sides and one in his chest. You watched it happen... Three weeks later your were in your bed asleep, after crying your eyes out, unaware that he was downstairs. He was pale, had dead eyes, and smelled of embalming fluid and death, he looked utterly terrifying. And he was there for you.
