Should I Stay or Should I Go - The Clash
WHO: Billy Hargrove, Princess Steve Harrington, later additions of Eddie Munson and Robin Buckley
WHERE: Hotel
WHAT: Billy's hightailing it out leading into the event
WHEN: Right before the event
WARNINGS: Fighting
["If I go, there will be trouble..."]
It's been a couple of weeks since the...conversation on the beach. The conversation that he had ended when he had slipped up with that word. Billy knows he's prone to slip-ups - it's going to happen. Rome wasn't built in a day, attitudes weren't changed with one hand stayed from a beating. But since Tommy showed him that decrepit cabin on the beach, it's all he could think about.
There were massive renovations needed. He hadn't talked to that Reeve guy yet, had been stewing on the conversation with Tommy. Strange, how a word he used so frequently on Eddie was a slur to someone else. And that was a hard change. All those times he bit it back weren't enough when it had slipped like a notched arrow and the speedster had just left.
Now, hotel door open, Billy's made a decision. The way people seem to toe around him like he's a walking minefield. The way Steve talked to him about hurting people during their bonding conversation in Calibrations. The blond's had a horrible enough home life to recognize when people do not want him around.
He doesn't have a lot to his name here. The last few cigarettes and his lighter, the clothes on his back, and Max's walkman. That tin-foil looking blanket Tommy gave him. There's some small bits of food he's saved from the diner, and all of his stuff bundled up in the blanket to make a sort of bag to use for now. The beach was going to be better for him anyways. Away from all of these people that don't want him around in the first place, and he had all the beach to himself. To someone like Billy, that was going to be like a paradise here in this city. He grabs the pillow from his bed and adds it to the bundle before starting to tie it off.
