"What—what are we doing here?" She asked
"We're here to talk, don't worry. I'm not gonna do anything" Billy assured her, the two sat on the random bed they found in some room
"If you're here to ask why I'm drinking please don't, just let me be" She said
"Oh, I don't need to ask. I already know" Billy said, making Emmy furrow her eyebrows
"What?" She asked
"Oh come on, Amelia. You think I don't see how your demeanor changes everytime Nancy's in the room? Isn't she your sister? What's up with that?"
"I don...i don wanna hear about stupid little perfect Nancy all the fucking time" Emmy said, slurring her words
"Why's that?" Billy asked
"Because she's everywhere, okay?! Is that—Is that what you wanna hear? Parents see me, they ask about her, people from school see me, they ask about her, hell—even my parents ask about her! Not to me of course, cause to them, I don't fucking exist. I don't. I don't remember the last time they talked to me, not just them but my siblings too. I'm just sick of hearing about the perfect girl that I can never—never live up to."
Billy sat there, watching as she broke down
"She's not perfect, you are. You're like the only girl that won't like me and it drives me crazy, and it made me realize that the only reason I talk to you, is because I'm the one who likes you, and for some reason I won't stop that" Billy said, Emmy looked up at him, a smile creeping into her face
"You think I don't like you? I do, but—I can't let that happen, because you'd winnnn" Emmy slurred her words as she giggled
"Oh really? Guess I already won cause I got to see Emmy be her actual self, not the quiet girl" Billy said, when he looked at Emmy, it was hard for her eyes to stay open
"Alright, pretty girl. Let's get you home" He said, helping her up and taking her downstairs, he obviously didn't want Nancy to see her sister like that, it would just make things worse, so he got her out though the back door and made sure she got up to her room safely

Emmy stayed home that day, not that anyone really noticed. Her phone rang, she picked it up only to hear Steve's voice
"Hey, guessing you died yesterday. How are you?" He asked over the phone
"Headache and I want to kill myself, but nothing out of the ordinary" She joked
"Okay well why don't you sneak out of your window again"
"Why?" She questioned
"Cause we're going to a diner, get some good food in you, then we're gonna get some meds" He said, she smiled and told him to give her a few minutes
She got ready and snuck out the window, just as Steve was about to walk up to her, dustin was walking out of her house and stopped Steve
"Where's your bat?" Dustin asked
"What?" Steve said
"The bat—the one with the nails!"
"Why?" Steve asked
"Come on, you're like the only person available, let's go" Dustin said
"Uh..." Steve trailed off as he looked at Emmy, Dustin turned to see what he was looking at and noticed her there
"Amelia? Holy shit I feel like I haven't seen you in years, Emmy" Dustin said
"Uh, yeah. Cause you haven't?" Emmy retorted
"Oh. Uh, well, the more the merrier. Come on, I have to show you guys something" Dustin said as he got in Steve's backseat, Steve and Emmy stared at each other in confusion for a second before just decided to go with it
