Summary
Max rolls up on her skateboard. She’s got this serious look on her, with her brows curved down, her mouth a firm straight line. “I need a ride to the hospital.”
Steve’s up in a heartbeat, smashing his cigarette beneath his sneaker and fishing his car keys out of his back pocket. “Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
Max stops storming across his lawn. She sucks her lower lip between her teeth and Steve sees the battle in her clear blue eyes about whether or not to cry. “I’ve gotta go see Billy, okay?”

Summary
“Why are you sitting over here anyway?" Steve asks. "Haven’t you heard? I’m a social pariah who got beat up by Jonathan Byers for trying to beg Nancy to take me back.”
Billy flicks a disgusted look at the table in the far corner where Jonathan and Nancy are eating together. “Seriously? That’s better than having people know I whooped your ass?”
"I've faced down actual interdimensional monsters. After that, small town gossip really loses its threat."
"Sure, because it's better to be known as the loser that Byers tried to kill twice." Billy stares at Steve who has clearly lost his mind.
“Weirdly, I don’t hear you apologizing for nearly killing me,” Steve says pointedly.

Summary
“Do you remember why you crashed your car?” Steve asks. He pins his gaze on the stretch of black tree limbs against the suede blue of the night sky.
“I hit a deer,” Billy says shortly.
“The thing is,” Steve says, he brings his gaze to Billy, “I don’t think you did.”
Billy scoffs. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
Steve shrugs. “Whatever you hit, it wasn’t a deer.”
“Oh really?” Billy asks snidely. “Then what was it?”
“The Monster Squad calls it the Mindflayer.”

Summary
‘I’m sorry’ will never be in Billy’s vocabulary. They are just two dirty words that liars and cowards use. But he knows what it means to be sorry.
Billy picks up a butterfly bandage, holds it between his fingers for Steve to see. Waits for Steve to drop his chin in a nod, and then presses it into place against Steve’s busted eyebrow. It’s the best Billy has to give.
This probably isn’t going to work out. This thing Billy’s been trying to have with Steve since he got to Hawkins. Steve’s got these soft edges where Billy’s all blunt and sharp.
Billy drags his fingertips down the side of Steve’s face, presses his thumb against the scar he didn’t leave, and lifts a brow. “How many fights do you lose, Harrington?”
Steve grins, a half-formed thing that is sharp and sad at the same time. “All of them.”

Summary
Billy’s made a lot of mistakes. He knows this. And, yeah, he thinks it would be pretty fair retribution if he just gave up and died now. But, apparently, Max isn’t going to let that be an option.
