[A few days is fine; it's a few days of doctors being baffled by Billy's strange new anaemia and Eddie's slow but otherwise miraculous recovery. Billy gives another statement while Eddie's mostly out of it, goes through their story again with the kind of hollow emptiness only a victim could give. They tell him he's lucky to be alive. That Eddie's luckier. That they're not sure what Neil Hargrove did with Jason Carver's body, but they'll keep looking.
Billy spends most of his time by Eddie's side. His room is isolated, only ever filled by Max and occasionally Susan when she sneaks him in snacks. He tells her to send a lawyer to him to sort out the house - finds out Hopper is in town again, which - well. He hadn't known he was supposed to be dead. He tells Susan to call in a favour - tells Wayne to do the same.
By the time the weekend rolls around, Billy's starving. Has, on more than one occasion, sunk his teeth into Eddie's neck and gotten absolutely blitzed on morphine. It's not enough, though, not really. The blood bags, he finds, are kept less locked up than one might expect. He's been tempted enough times before Steve comes back around to visit - about as tempted as Eddie probably is to just sign himself out. ]
