At the ages of birth to twenty he lived with his mother who made his life a living hell. She refused to let him hang out with friends, walk around the outside. The only time he was allowed to go out was to go work days and days so he could pay her weed habits or get kicked out for not paying. Soon billy had enough so he told his mother off, she kicked him out, luckily his cousin Logan took him in and that is when his life changed for the better. He was able to save up for his own car to get to work and just places he needed. The only thing billy couldn’t do was hang out with people because he never made any friends because he was kept in a prison cell and was powerless to break free. Eventually that got to Billy made him depressed he had all the materialistic things he could ask for, but he never liked materialistic things. All Billy wanted was a friend to be there when he needed one. Well he got that but in the form of someone he never thought would mean so much to him but sadly never grew from a friendship. See billy found a girl to call a friend, and he ended up liking this girl very much, but she had a boyfriend and Billy knew he couldn’t compete so he just gave up and held those feelings deep deep inside. Even though he had a friend he wanted love, well, that is one thing he never got.
Present Day:
Today is the day, the day Billy finally does it. But before we get into that I will tell you what leads up to it. The time is 9:30 am, Billy gets a call from the hospital, his grandmother had died of a heart attack, the thing about his grandmother was that she was the mother figure he never had, and for her to pass away meant that Billy had lost everything to himself, he had no love, he had a low end job, he wasn’t gonna get anywhere in life. So Billy goes to his job, he works as a janitor for a huge company, See you may say Billy should’ve went to a hire class job, well he had no self confidence because of the comments his mother would tell him. Anyways he goes to work, finds all the chemicals he could, and he finally gets the rat problem under control that was bugging him for days. Billy finishes up his job, makes himself dinner eats it, does all his dishes. Calls up his cousins thanks him for everything he did for him when he needed him. Calls up his friend Kiara tells her thanks for always being there for him. He pulls out his 44 magnum, puts four bullets in the five bullet chamber, spins it then puts it up to his temple, and he lets fate decide his outcome. The police arrive at billy’s house at 10:45 pm, he was found dead. But the thing about that was, he wasn’t found dead from a gunshot, he overdosed on sleeping pills, see billy was reflecting on his life that night, he cried for hours, he realized he couldn’t shoot himself, so he put the gun away, he went to the store, bought $100 worth of sleeping pills, He got the cashier worried so she called the police who looked at the ID that was used and left out because Billy had no use for it anymore, he went home and put every pill into his mouth, the police arrived ten minutes to late to give billy treatment, The only thing Billy needed, was to not be alone, but he never realized that life is about being alone and at times it’s okay to be alone but to him he was tired of being alone, and felt useless. Can you really blame him?

Your story has great potential. I really like the bones , of the story, you have here. I suggestion to reorder your story, however. I combine both the Backstory and Present Day into one section with multiple paragraphs. I suggest to start with Billy’s death then tell the reader why he killed himself. Another thing, reread your story for typos and grammar. Other than that, it has great potential. I look forward in how you revise it.
