Billy but he changed hid whole personality when they moved to Hawkins. In california he was the sad kid. The one without a mom. The one always alone.
And Yes, he is still very much alone in Hawkins. But its his choice this time. He creates fake personality Just because he is sick of beging the sad kid. Hes angry, so angry.
After the "showers" scene, Steve started watching billy. And he saw, that sad boy from california, sometimes showing when billy thought nobody watched.
After a few weeks, Steve realizes thst billy is faking. Everything. That this is just billy protecting himself.
And then Steve findes out about abuse. About Neil. About beating, about curses.
He watches, waiting, but he doesnt really know for what he is waiting. Sitting in csr like a creep, watching billy's house. Its not a home and Steve knows it.
Then finaly, one night, doors open at 2 am. Neil is grabing billy by the neck, yelling. Billy doesnt fight. He just look dead inside. One single tear is going down on his cheek when he ends up outside the house. His t shirt is dirty from his own Blood. Max tries to get to him but Neil grabs her by the hair, pulls her away.
Steve saw enough. He Got out of the car, walked straight to Neil and punched him so hard thst he ended up on the ground. Tyen Steve kicked him a few times. After that he leaned over him and said
"You are the biggest piece of shit that i ever saw"
He Got up, and he noticed Susan.
"You should be ashamed."
Then he looked at Max. She was breathing heavily, looking scared, touching the wall like she wanted to blend into them.
"Come. I need your help." He said and then he went outside. Max looked at her mother, then at Neil who was still on the ground, and then he walked out after Steve.
They Got billy off the ground, took him to the car. Billy and Max ended up at the back seats.
After a moment of silence billy finaly said something.
"Than.."
"Dont." Steve stoped him. "Just dont."
