Now, a few hours had passed since Max helped Andrea make the wild discovery that this entire time, she had been in love with Steve. Though, that wasn't at the top of the priority list at the moment. Seeing as there was another host in the area and the party needed to make sure that it was not Billy Hargrove.

Though, every one of them believed that it truly was him. That Billy Hargrove had become the new host and here are a few points why Andrea had believed it. The Mind Flayer likes it cold, Billy had taken an ice bath and usually, she would say that's a stretch as he was an athlete but there was no way he had worked out at work.

Two, Billy Hargrove loved to flash off his body to get the ladies. He wanted everyone always drooling over him at all times. No matter the weather. Yet, here he was in the midst of the heat of summer in Hawkins, Indiana covered up while on lifeguard duty. Wearing a towel and a long sleeve shirt.

Andrea hadn't thought she'd ever see the day that Billy Hargrove covered up.

Andrea walked through the back of a pool room. Helping grab different things they'd need as the sun had set over the pool. It was getting close to the time that they needed to enact the plan.

Billy was in the shower in the pool house. Everyone knew it because they heard the moment the water turned on before turning off. The sounds of the lockers opening and shutting.

Andrea and Eleven had to help out and make sure he knew someone was there. Shutting doors and causing a bit of a ruckus.

"Pools closed," Billy spoke before yelling, "Hey! Do you hear me?" he yelled as he slammed his locker.

They heard his footsteps as they padded harshly against the ground. He was looking for any of them that he could find. Though, he had no clue who all was truly within the room. He turned corners sharply ready to yell at whoever was there.

"Pools closed!" Billy continued to yell as he came to the shut door.

He started beating on it. Harshly shoving it before it was time for Mike to taunt him. The Wheeler boy called out his name in a sing-song manner.

"Billy!" Mike called out.

"Who's there?" Billy asked, breathing heavily as he made a few more steps.

"Billy!" Mike continued with his sing-song voice.

"Who's there?" Billy copied Mike's tone as he continued to walk around.

The boys started to laugh and cause more noise leading Billy right where they needed him to go. Andrea pressed herself firmly against the wall as she felt her heart begin to race. This was a bit freaky if you had to ask her.

"Billy!" Mike continued as he laughed.

"You think this is funny, huh?" Billy questioned as Mike continued to laugh.

"Billy!" This time Mike sounded a lot worse than before, "Come and find me!"

"I find you, it is your funeral," Billy replied back to Mike's words as he continued to walk around.

Andrea looked at Eleven as the boys made the door to the room move, leading Billy in. He stormed into the blackness of the room. Andrea used her abilities to make sure none of them were actually seen as he walked in.

Billy paused upon seeing the dummy in the sauna. Andrea made it appear to look real, only drawing him further in.

"Got you," Billy spoke before he walked closer with a laugh.

"Come and get me you piece of shit," Mike spoke yet again.

Billy opened the door and paused, realizing it wasn't a dummy once Andrea let go of her abilities. Billy stormed further into the sauna and picked up the dummy by its throat. Though, he looked as if he still believed it was real.

"Hey, behind you," The static of the radio station played Mike's voice.

Billy turned around just as Eleven said, "Hi," she threw him back into the sauna.

Billy's back hit the wall harshly. Tile falling from the wall and hitting the floor causing them to break even more from the force.

"Now!" Mike and the others ran in as they cut the lights on.

"Bye," Andrea faked a smile as she slammed the door shut on him.

Eleven helped push the bar in before the others ran over. They placed locks on the door and did whatever precautions they needed to keep Billy in.

"Come on!"

"Got it!"

And then everyone fell back into a line. Eleven and Andrea stood together while everyone else fell behind them. Both girls listened to the pants of Billy Hargrove as he continued to bang on the door. His grunts cause Andrea to cringe.

The chains on the door began to make noise with every hit that Billy landed against the door. Everyone watched as the man stood in the window of the sauna. He looked out at them as he continued to beat against the door trying to make an escape.

Until he stopped.

He stared out at them and spoke, "Max.." The girls turned their heads back to Max who was breathing heavily.

"Do it," Max spoke with no hesitation.

Will ran over to the meter on the sauna upon hearing Max's words. He turned it all the way over causing it to start to heat up. Hopefully revealing what everyone had been skeptical of all along.

"Max! Let me out of here!" Billy continued to hit against the door as the heat started to kick in, Billy's voice began to echo but everyone stood their ground, "let me out... you kids... Do you think this is funny? You kids think this is some kind of sick prank, huh?" He spits on the window, "You little shits think this is funny?!"

"I think it's entertainment of the beast," Andrea was trying to keep the kids cool.

"What is this?" Billy asked, directing his gaze to Andrea, "Open the door. Open the door!"

Every one of the kids jumped back in fright at the force Billy had. Each one of them got scared, Andrea would be a liar if she claimed she was completely unbothered by this.

"Open the door! Open the goddamn door!" Billy continued to beat against the door as he yelled.

Will ran back over to check on the temperature once Billy's face fell from the window. Screaming comes from inside the sauna causing everyone to look in fear. No one knew what the hell was happening.

"We're at two-twenty," Will read off the meter as he looked at his friends.

Will backed into the line of people once again right as Billy let out a grunt. He started to sob, sob so loud that everyone could hear him. This was a trick.

"It's not my fault. It's not my fault," Billy's voice was broken, Max started to slowly walk to the window, "It's not my fault, Max. I promise you, it's not my fault." He was sat in the corner holding himself as he cried,

"What's not your fault, Billy?" Max questioned her older brother.

Billy seemed to really have been freaking out, "I've done things, Max. Really... really bad things. I didn't mean to," Billy's voice was breaking completely, almost going completely inaudible, "He made me do it."

"Who made you do it?" Max continued to question.

"I don't know, it's like a shadow," Billy continued to cry as everyone slowly moved forward, "Like a giant shadow. Please, Max."

Billy's cries were getting to his younger sister, "What did he make you do?"

"It's not my fault, okay? Max, please!" Billy yelled as he cried, "Please, believe me, Max, it's not my fault! I tried to stop him, okay? I did! Please believe me, Max," Billy was crying like crazy.

Max placed her hand on the window as Billy continued his pleas, "Billy, it's gonna be okay."

"Max, please," Billy continued to beg.

"It's gonna be okay," Max repeated, "We want to help you. You just have to talk to us, okay? You have to talk to us," Andrea appeared at Max's side, having a bad feeling as she looked in alongside Max, "I believe you, Billy."

Andrea couldn't bear to look at Billy Hargrove. Usually, she would be able to after all the hell he had inflicted on them, but this? This was downright wrong.

"We'll figure this out together," Max continued to speak, "Just let us help you. You've got to trust me, please."

"Max, Andrea, get away from the door," Mike spoke but Andrea barely heard.

"What?" Max questioned not hearing him either.

"Get away from the door!" Mike yelled louder.

Andrea managed to shield Max down as the glass broke. Max yelped out at the sudden force while Andrea let out a scream. Billy had managed to slice a scar across Andrea's face.

Andrea held Max back as the two watched Billy try to crawl out the broken window at them, "Let me out! Let me out you bitch! I'll fucking gut you!" He continued to hit the wall with the broken piece of porcelain that had Andrea's blood on it.

He dropped it and Andrea moved back over to her sister as the door opened. She pulled Max with her. Billy grunted as he continued to try and get it open. Andrea continuously tried to wipe the blood that poured down her face away so she could focus.

"Let me out!" Billy yelled before Lucas shot him with his slingshot.

"Max, come on!" Lucas yelled and Max ran over to the group as well.

The lights began to flicker as everyone looked up. Andrea stood at the front of the group, trying to protect the kids first. That was her main priority. They listened as Billy groaned and gurgled. Everyone turned as they watched the lights. A loud roar coming from Billy scared the daylights out of them.

He ran to the door. Continuously banging against it as the metal made loud noises. It continued to open further and further. Andrea's arms instinctively went up to hold the kids back but it seemed Eleven had a similar idea.

"He can't get out, can he?" Max asked as she watched in horror.

"No way," Lucas shook his head but the pounding continued, "No way."

The roaring from Billy continued. It continued to get more and more distorted with every blow to the wall. Andrea barely noticed as his veins began to turn black and with one more hit, the door came flying off the wall, freeing Billy who fell to the ground as everyone screamed.

He stood up and stared face to face with the two sisters. Eleven looked at the weight that rested on the rack and threw it at Billy, pinning him against the wall. Eleven held the weight there and a crackling noise ensued as she breathed heavily. She tried both hands trying to hold it but Billy managed to push it off.

Throwing it back at them despite Eleven's scream. Billy yanked Eleven by her hair back, looking at their friends before he grabbed her by the throat. Andrea yelled and began to hit him, trying to make him stop but he grabbed her as well.

Maybe fighting with blood loss wasn't such a great idea.

He lifted both girls off of the ground before they had a chance to even fight. Both coughed and gasped for air as their feet dangled from the floor. Andrea continued to kick and fight as well as her sister, she watched as Mike came over and Andrea managed to use her abilities to help Mike swing much harder as he took Billy down.

Billy yelled as he hit the floor, "Go to hell you piece of shit!" Mike went to hit him again but Billy caught the bar.

Eleven was on the ground and Andrea managed to get up, putting herself in front of Mike as she tried to catch her breath, "Not my children you fucker," She panted before throwing Billy back with a groan.

Eleven was on her feet and caught him in the air as well. Both girls shared a look as they both held him in place causing him to scream. Mike stayed safely behind Andrea before Andrea and Eleven switched places. Holding the yelling and grunting Billy in the air as they screamed back at him before throwing him out of the brick wall.

And out went Billy, through the wall of bricks something that should've killed him.

And down went both of the girls.

Eleven fell back into Mike as she cried. Mike held her close as they two slid down the wall together. Andrea, fell down onto her knees, her palms hitting the floor keeping her sitting upright.

Andrea sat on her knees panting as Will ran over to her. Her face was killing her. The amount of blood she was losing was making her dizzy. It was all insane.

"Hey, look at me," Will was trying to inspect Andrea's face as he began to panic.

"It's nothing," Andrea's words were barely audible.

It's nothing. She repeated within her mind. She was being reckless. She was fighting to keep everyone safe when she was starting to get dizzy and when she was starting to break from reality.

The cut Billy had managed to land on her was a bad one. Going from a little over her eyebrow on the right side to down her nose and the left side of her face. It wasn't a tiny gash either.

"We've got to get you patched up. It's okay. I know how getting hurt is," It seemed that Will was more panicked than Andrea herself.

"Hmph," Andrea held her face still, hoping it would stop the burning.

"You're okay," Will whispered to the older girl as he helped her off the ground, she leaned heavily into him and somehow he managed to hold their weight, "You're okay," He continued to whisper as they walked forward.

And there was one thing that they noticed as Billy seemingly disappeared as the sound of his wails was loud.

"What are we going to do now?" Lucas found himself asking as he held his girlfriend.

"There's nothing we can do right now," Will shook his head as Andrea tried to keep herself up before ending up back into Will, "Look at us. We can't fight like this. Not tonight."

Eleven shook her head as she agreed, Mike looked around before deciding, "We need to get back to my house."

"Andrea?" Eleven asked her sister.

Andrea held up her hand, "Just... give me a.... Minute," Her words were slurred.

"We've got to get her to a doctor," Max pointed out, "She's losing a lot of blood."

"What's a doctor going to do? She can't go to a doctor, Max!" Will seemed to be the only one remembering this, "We've got to help her ourselves."

"And we will," Mike agreed.

"I don't need help," Andrea huffed out.

"I'll take her. Everyone just make sure we get back," Will looked at the others.

Andrea sighed knowing this was going to be a long night. Everyone dragged each other outside to their bikes. Andrea barely held herself on the bike as she leaned into Will as he pedaled. She was going to have to buy Will a new shirt though due to the fact the back of his was covered in her blood.

Andrea got herself off of Will's bike once they reached the Wheeler's residence. The girl stumbles her way over to the basement door. Trying to refuse whatever help someone had to offer to her.

She got in the door and practically fell onto Mike's couch. The others followed in after her as they all seemingly freaked out.

"What do we do? She's the one who's usually doing the fixing!" Lucas exclaimed as he rummaged through Mike's stuff.

"I'm fine," Andrea grumbled.

"Not fine," Will was freaking out as well before he grabbed a first aid kit, "I can fix her up."

"You can?" Max questioned, seemingly not too sure about this.

Will pulled a chair over to the couch, "How bad does it hurt?" He asked Andrea.

"Joyce Byers?" Andrea questioned, not really telling a difference between the two at the given moment.

"I'll take that as a ten, close your eyes," Will gave pointed instructions before Andrea followed his orders with a huff, "I'm going to clean this. It might burn."

"Let's hope everything in here stays intact," Lucas jokes as he looks at Mike.

"Don't jinx it," Mike looked over at Lucas before watching Will.

"OW," Andrea tried not to tense up as Will placed some sort of liquid on the wound, "Get it off!"

"Give it a second," Will swatted at Andrea's hands as she tried to mess with it.

"Fucking shi-" Andrea was cut off when a piece of cotton was shoved in her mouth.

"That's one way to do it," Max tried to stay positive.

Will continued to place gauze on Andrea's face for a few minutes. Applying pressure to help stop the bleeding from getting any worse. Then he'd pull them back and rummage through the kit again.

"Mike, I need laceration bands," Will gave the boy a strict order.

"Will those even go over half of that?" Max questioned while Mike was off to go find some.

"There are different sizes," was Will's simple response, "You're doing good," He repeated to Andrea.

The girl spits out the piece of cotton, "Okay, mom," She joked.

There was one thing that Andrea hated more than anything, receiving help. Though she knew with how her boyfriend was and now how her friends were that it was nearly impossible to dodge help.

"Oh my god, Dustin! Steve, I need to find them," Andrea began to freak out upon realizing.

Will placed her shoulders back down, "You can't even talk normally. Your words are slurred. You aren't going anywhere. We can find them tomorrow.

"I need to find them!" Andrea exclaimed before groaning in pain.

"Andrea, I know you do but you are going to listen to me. You are in no shape to be back out there," Will spoke sternly to the girl.

And Andrea knew that Will was definitely not going to let her off the hook on this one.

"God, I'm going to look like a scared-up Jedi," Andrea mumbled.

"A cool Jedi," Will repeated.

"Nerds, why are they, nerds?" Max shook her head with a small smile at the encounter.

And once Mike re-entered the room, that's when the bickering began.

Everyone had to help keep Andrea Henderson from crawling her way out the door.
