Summary
It’s March and it’s too cold for Billy to be shirtless and wearing shorts, but he hadn’t noticed until Harrington appeared and made him hold still. Harrington can’t seem to stop looking at the bruises. “What’s it to you if I miss a little school, Harrington?” Billy asks. He feels goosebumps rising on his skin.
“I don’t know,” Harrington snaps back, looking uncomfortable. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. Plant your feet, Billy wants to scream at him. I’m going to bowl you over.

Or:
There’s a lot of things to deal with, when you’re fourteen and traumatised and your stepbrother almost died after being possessed by a monster from another dimension, and your abusive stepfather actually did die thanks to the same monster, and your mum’s working double shifts to take care of you and your brother and somehow, you haven’t fallen asleep in the middle of freshman English yet.

Summary
She’s just turning to go back to her room when she hears it.
Crying. Soft sobbing.
At first she thinks it’s her mum, but it doesn’t sound like her. It sounds male. And she can’t imagine Neil ever crying, so that only leaves one person.
Billy.
She turns to look at the clock on the kitchen wall. 3:30am. Neil wouldn’t have gone up in the middle of the night just to have a fight with Billy, would he? Something else must have happened.
She stays where she is for a little while longer, contemplating what she ought to do. Then there’s a whine and Max is off towards Billy’s room.

Summary
Billy's used to being afraid of his father, and he knows he's not the only one scared. But it's one thing to know your stepmother gets smacked around every once in a while and another thing completely to find her body on the bathroom floor.
He's a mess, Max is even more of a mess, and Joyce Byers is a queen among mothers, she really is.
