Summary
Two weeks after his mom left, Billy returned to school. Most of the bruises had faded, and there were none left on his face. He wanted someone, anyone, to ask where he’d been. A teacher, the recess lady, one of his friends. Even creepy Ellen, who no one liked. He wished desperately for someone to be his saving angel. But no one was. No one asked. Instead he heard whispers behind his back, about how his mom hated him so much that she abandoned him. No one made eye contact with him. No one saved him.
Billy was six years old when he learned that no one loved him. (How could anyone love a monster).

Summary
Billy stands in the bathroom on the upper floor of Steve’s house and stares at his reflection, at the sweaty curls framing his face, and doesn’t recognise the person looking back. He doesn’t think he’s recognised him for a long while. Years.
Billy’s body doesn’t belong to him. Not really.
It belongs to Neil, and it belongs to everyone he’s ever kissed, and it belongs to the Mind Flayer.

Summary
Billy looked over to find Max in the doorway, and he inhaled sharply, having forgotten in his haste to sit down that Max would be home soon. He hadn’t closed the door.

Summary
"Billy would never admit this to anyone, least of all himself, but he still felt like a child. A little boy, barely coming up to his Dad's elbows. Like that kid, Adam, whom he and Heather had brought to the monster. It had almost been too easy. His parents were split, and when it was his father's turn to pick him up from swim lessons he was guaranteed to be 45 minutes late. Billy had scooped him up, one hand over his mouth, and Heather had waited with the trunk of the car open.
These were the thoughts Billy was sweating with in the July heat. He'd never liked the cold, and found he liked it even less now. The fan sat in the corner, unplugged."
The story of how Billy gets a radio, too.
