Summary
"You know what I meant."
Of course she knows. He's jumped to the same conclusion everyone else has. What El thought when she broke the news, all big sad eyes and careful words, walking on egg shells. What Lucas thought when she went running to him in tears and a rank old hoodie. What Steve thought last night when he told her she could get whatever toppings she wanted on the pizza he was ordering. She's tired of pitying faces and sympathetic gestures, and she's tired of everyone's assumptions.
"I'm not in love with her."

Summary
“I’m good, you know.” Billy says. His face is empty, expressionless, the way it was when Steve threw books at him and shouted, what do you mean you’re leaving? That’s it? We’re done?
Steve can do nothing but stare at Billy.
He wants to say, I’m not. I’m not and I never will be. You didn’t just break my heart Billy, you blew it up. It’s not lying on the floor ready to be put back together, it’s floating in microscopic dust in the motherfucking air.

Summary
“Shut up,” Max tells him, and Steve swears there’s a bit of green swirling in all that red, embarrassment mixing like watercolor. “Can I be honest with you, Steve?”
Steve nods. He takes his foot from the door jam and rubs his hand on his jeans. Shudders as the feeling in his stomach ebbs and swirls and gets so much worse.
“You’re not his fucking boyfriend,” Max says, and slams the door in his face.
(or) Steve can't take it, anymore.

Summary
In the end, it comes as no surprise when the first guy says, “What did you just say to me?”
“So you are deaf,” Harrington says haughtily, “that’s good to know. Or, hell, I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe you’re just stupid.”
Billy is out the door within a split second, just in time to see Harrington get decked in the face like an idiot.

Or: After their fight, Billy realises that Steve can't throw a punch to save his life. He decides that it's on him to fix that.

Summary
The universe loves irony. That's all Eddie can think right now. This whole situation is like some cosmic fucking prank, and it might even be funny if he wasn't almost sure he won't survive the night.
He just had to take refuge in a closet, of all places.
In this closet.
