(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Don't blame me, love made me crazy, if it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right. Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I'll be usin' for the rest of my life."

(y/n) sings out loudly as Billy drove down the bright Californian roads, a refreshing sense of familiarity to hear (y/n) sing to the song on the radio as he tapped his fingers to the beat on his wheel. His heart soared seeing her so happy, the wind breezing through her hair as she raised her hands up to the sky.

"Don't blame me, love made me crazy, if it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right. Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I'll be usin' for the rest of my life."

She belts out, smiling at the feeling of being so free. This is why she disappeared, why she wanted to leave and now she felt so free. Sure it was sad about her family and her past but it was her plan in the first place to cut off ties and not be connected back to anyone. She finally got what she wanted and there was no looking back.

(y/n) looks at Billy through the sunglasses he leant her as he smiled at her, the both of them deciding to spend the day together to do some shopping for her. (y/n) was going to live with Billy and in doing so, she needed quite a few things. Billy moved his hand to hold (y/n)'s being easy with his affection for her. It was like how it was the first time he kissed her, he had to be slow with her and let her be accustomed. Her memory was gone and even though she had searched for him, it didn't mean that she was in love with him again as he has always been for her.

They had to start all over again, and have their feelings restart to the beginning. Billy will always love (y/n), he is and has always been in love with her, he never stopped but with (y/n), it was a grey area.

(y/n) flushes pink and looks down at Billy's hand that held hers, feeling her heart race and she slowly entwined her fingers with his. She moved their hands on her lap to brush the back of his hand with her other free one. Billy smiles at (y/n) reciprocating his affection, letting her play with his fingers as they went to the mall. He made sure to pay mindful care to not touch (y/n)'s thigh as she wore his shorts and his shirt.

He parked in the parking lot, cutting the engine and both of them got out of the car. (y/n) was quick to hold Billy's hand, moving closer to his side as he took her inside the mall.

"Woah..." the mall was huge and (y/n) looked around in awe at the various shops when her vision flashed, seeing a large creature looming over her before it disappeared. She shook her head quickly, looking around in fear and Billy looked at her in worry since he had been calling her name a couple of times.

"Are you ok (y/n)?"

"Yeah... the Mind Flayer we fought in StarCourt Mall, was it a spider-looking creature?" Billy slowly nods, concerned for (y/n). "I think I just a flashback." she shudders and Billy holds her shoulder to pull her close.

"Do you want to go home?" she shakes her head no and he nods hesitantly. "Let's go get your things."

Billy and (y/n) spent the next hour or two getting all basic necessities for (y/n), from toiletries, and makeup to brushes and so on. She had to get new glasses too so they went to the optometrist to test her vision and get contacts with her new glasses as well as contact sunnies. The two put everything away in the car boot, going back into the mall to get some clothes. (y/n) was hesitant bout getting short clothes, not like how her stitches and her wounds were out in the open.

Billy loved her in every way possible and didn't care if they were visible but if she wasn't comfortable, he would help her get clothes that helped her cover them up. (y/n) got a few pjs, tracks and hoodies plus baggy dress shirts before going to get proper outfits. She didn't have a specific style, going for whatever she liked. Whether it was dresses, skirts, leather clothing or dark accessories. She was all about her earrings and rings and leather knee-high boots.

(y/n) was in the changeroom trying on a simple cotton dress that was breathable for the Californian heat, hissing in slight pain that she could reach the zipper in the back. "Billy?" she peaks out past the curtain, seeing him lean against the wall and she calls him over. "Can you help zip me up? I can't stretch as I used to without being in pain."

"It would be my pleasure princess." Billy coos softly, smirking as (y/n) blushes when he steps closer to hold her waist before zipping her up carefully. "Perfect fit..." he whispers against her neck, kissing her shoulder and her breath hitches. Billy wraps his arms around (y/n), holding her tight as he nuzzles her shoulder and breathes her in. He had been non-stop touching (y/n) one way or another, making up all the lost skinship at this moment. Either holding her hand or hugging her and keeping an arm around her.

(y/n) didn't mind it, in fact, she quite enjoyed it but it made her heart race like crazy. "Billy..." she sighs out, tilting her head to the side as he pressed soft kisses on her neck.

"Hmm..." he hums in response, watching her reaction in the mirror in front of him as she breathes out heavily with butterflies in her stomach. 

"I think we got enough stuff..." Billy nuzzles his nose against (y/n)'s neck, moving up to kiss the back of her ear.

"Whatever you want princess." he kisses her cheek, stepping out of the changeroom to leave her gasping for air, clutching her neck. (y/n) blushes red as she walks out of the room to see billy smile at her like nothing just happened in the changeroom, going off to pay for the clothes and shoes. "Do you want to eat something?" (y/n) nods, Billy holding the bags as he takes her to the food court and he asks her what she wants.

"Nothing too heavy..." he frowns at her, at how little she was eating.

"You need to eat properly (y/n), this isn't good for you."

"Billy-"

"-sit here and I'll get something." (y/n) sits down at the table with the bags, rolling her eyes at how overbearing Billy was with her eating. She couldn't keep down solid food that great and it was hard to get energy nowadays. Whatever that facility did to her really crewed her over. (y/n) played with her hair, wondering if it was too long until Billy came back with two trays.

"I need to cut my hair. It's too long." Billy blinks at (y/n) as he passes her food, nodding without any question as (y/n) ate. He quite liked her hair long but he was curious to see what it looked short.

"I'll go put the bags in the car and I'll come back." (y/n) nods, drinking her soda and waving as billy walked off. He had been very sweet and patient with her, spending so much money today that it physically churned her stomach but he reminded her that it was all being paid off by some man called Mr Sanders.

(y/n) looked around and noticed all the girls in the area gossiping and whispering to each other, and she knew it was about Billy. Honestly, it had been like this the entire day, with girls gawking at him and she hated it. They all should just mind their own goddamn fucking business.

"Hi there." (y/n) looked up to see two guys standing in front of her and she raises a brow at them.

"Hello..."

"We couldn't help but notice that you seemed new in the area."

"And we wanted to get to know a pretty girl like you." (y/n) frowned at the guys that tried to feel her up for a conversation.

"As sweet as you are boys, maybe next time. I'm just about to head home-" the boys sit down in the booth opposite (y/n), taking Billy's seat.

"-just a few minutes lovely."

"We could show you around the place."

"Sorry no, I'm here with someone and I would really like to enjoy my lunch with them."

"Who, your boyfriend?"

"He's not here so you can talk to us." (y/n) sighs in annoyance, ready to throw her soda at the boys.

"I don't want to talk to you. Please just leave me alone." and that's when the boys get mad, spouting nonsense about being nice guys and just wanting to talk to a girl. "If you both don't fucking leave right now, I will scream bloody murder so loud and declare that you both were trying to touch me inappropriately. Got it." (y/n) seethes out as she slams her fist onto the table and the boys glare at her.

"I think the lady already told you to fucking leave." Billy loomed over the boys and they stand up to get in his face.

"And who the fuck do you think you are!?"

"Her fucking boyfriend!" Billy growls out, grabbing both guys' collars and pulling them away from the booth before shoving them into someone's table. "I want you to never go near her again or I will find you and I will make you wish you were never born!" Billy hisses out, the guys brushing off their clothes before walking away and saying this wasn't worth it.

"Billy..." (y/n) stands up and holds his arm, making him look at her softly with concern. 

"Are you ok? Did they do anything to you?" she shakes her head no and Billy sighs in relief, both of them sitting down together in one seat to eat.
