[ no but i was wondering why bill was back at ralph’s tribe even if piggy said that he already went with roger

and this happens ]

"I’m going back to Ralph’s tribe," Bill says after a moment’s pause. He sounds hesitant, but there’s no changing his mind; Jack seems to sense this. "You’ve a lot of boys here. I wouldn’t be of any use to you." The truth is bitter on his tongue.

"What of Simon—" Jack starts to ask, no doubt wondering why Simon hasn’t joined him yet, but Bill cuts him off in a surge of protectiveness for the batty boy.

"Simon can do whatever he wants." Bill lifts his chin defiantly, just daring the redhead to contradict. "He isn’t yours." Neither am I.

"He’s a choirboy. He should be with the rest of us." Why aren’t you?

The way Jack stares at him is almost accusatory. It makes Bill want to scream at the unfairness of it all. You have no right, he wants to say, wants to grab Jack by his bony shoulders to make him listen. You have no right to tell anyone what they should and shouldn’t be.

What comes out of his mouth is, “He should be home right now.” Bill’s tone is nigh glacial, jade eyes mere slits as he clenches his fists at his side. “If you hadn’t—if the ship hadn’t—” Bill turns his back on Jack, unable to look at him any longer.

"We should all be home right now."
