Part III > Part IV

You wondered when this converation will lead you.

"Yeah... yes, of course. But here? Isn't it too loud?" you asked.

"We can just... go outside? Go for a walk or something?" Steve suggested while you were still shocked that you weren't already screaming at each other and arguing. You stood up and went to the front door, Steve following. You walked a few meters next to Steve in complete silence.

"Sooo... what do you want to talk about?" you said nervous.

"You know, I talked with Nancy today. Not gonna lie, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have balls to do it but she said that you will be happy about it or something... I guess I just wanted to say that I'm sorry..." Steve explained as you stared at him in desbelief. You wouldn't be surprised if your mouth was actually opened because of the shock. Steve saw your reaction and continued "Whoa, ok, don't act like it's so unbelievable. I mean it, I know I acted like a dumbass for past few months..."

"Years" you interrupted with a fake cough and laughed

"Don't be a bitch" he joked. "But you're right. Years. It sad, you know?... How I just pretended you didn't exist so I could have more friends that weren't even real friends. I don't know why I even thought about it that way. So yeah I'm so so so sorry" Steve said and waited for your answer. "Can we go back to what we had before high school? To that friendship?"

You were totally sure that it was some kind of weird dream, so you had to think a little bit before answering. The few drink you already had weren't really helping in that situation. But while staring at him you noticed something shiny on his neck.

"Is it... is it our chain?" you asked pointing at the jewelry.

"Oh, this? Yeah, this is exactly that one" Steve said. After all this years he still had it. You gave each other chains around 5th year. It was like "best friend" bracelets but you both decided that the chain is more practical. They weren't anything big, just a little shiny necklace. You were wearing it non stop but weren't expecting Steve to do that too.

"I see that you also wear it... that's like... really cool. But what's your answer to my question?"

"Honestly... I don't think so" you saw Steve's face drop. "At least not now, it's what I meant. Listen, I'm glad that you apologized, I really am. And I appreciate that. But you can't just "go back" after so much time. And we both changed a lot so it might be a problem. However... I think... that we can start again?" you said with a smile.

"Ok, so- I'm Steve. Steve Harrington" he introduced himself jokingly.

"Y/n Hopper. Nice to meet you, Steve." you shook your hands as if you really met for the first time and started to walk back to the house.

As you went through the door, you saw Nancy stumbling to the table with alcohol to pour herself another drink.

"I think you should stop her" you said looking at Steve.

"Yup, on it" he said almost running to his girlfriend.

He told her that she's had enough but she didn't listen. Steve tried to take away her cup. Nancy was too stuborn to just give it to him. They started scrambling for the drink and seconds later the punch was all over her white sweater. Nancy ran to the bathroom and Steve followed her. You knew that you were no help in that situation so you stayed. While looking around the room, you found Jonathan. Finally.

"You came! I thought I won't see you there today!" you shouted because you wanted to make sure he heard you over the loud music.

"Yeah, I drove Will so he could meet with the boys and came here. What exactly happened between them?" Jonathan asked pointing at the direction where Nancy and Steve were just seconds ago. You explained the whole situation.

"Oh, that's not going to end well, is it?"

"To be honest, I don't think so. Nancy really had too much for one night."

You talked and joked around for a while, when you saw Steve storming out of the bathroom. He was upset.

"Please, take care of her" he said while passing Jonathan. The boy looked at you and told you that he is going to help Nancy. You nodded and ran after Steve.

"Hey! What's up? What happened?" you asked as you catched up to Steve before he entered his car.

"I... She... nothing happened, Y/n" he said clearly sad.

"Are you sure? We can talk about it if you want-"

"I said it's nothing! Don't think you can magicaly fix everything now!" And then Steve started his car and drove away. Yup, that hurt. Guess the apologies weren't as important to him as they were to you. Good to know.

As soon as Steve left, Jonathan and Nancy came out of the house. Jonathan made sure that she was safe in the passengers sit. He noticed you standing in the driveway.

"Y/n, listen, I'll give her a ride home and I'll pick you up, ok? Just give me like... I don't know half an hour?" Jonathan offered and you thanked him. You could just go with these two already but a lot was happening so you weren't thinking straight. It was nice knowing that someone cared about you.

You didn't want to enter the house again so you sat on the curb. Even though it was getting a litlle colder, the fresh air was definitely better than the hot one inside. You were wondering what Nancy had to say to make Steve so miserable. It wasn't anything lovely, that's for sure. Your thoughts were interupped by the sound of footsteps. Someone sat next to you. You turned your head torwards this person and you saw the same guy from the begging of the party. He looked at you and took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket inside of the leather jacket.

"Do you want one?" he asked politely.

"No, thanks. I don't smoke." you declined.

"Well, I believe I've never introduced myself before. I'm Billy Hargrove. Nice to meet you"

"Y/n. Hopper. Nice to meet you too." you said shyly.

"So, what are you doing here alone? Aren't you cold?" Billy asked.

"A little bit. I'm waiting for a friend to get me out of here. He's supposed to pick me up soon."

"Here, have this" he said as he put his jacket over your shoulders. He had nothing on under it so you cought yourself staring at his muscles a little. "You're waiting for Byers, right? I see that there will be a lot of drama soon... Him taking Harrington's girl home... won't end good if you ask me" Billy said while inhaling the smoke of his cigarette.

"I'm sure he just gave her a ride to her home, nothing else. And yeah, I must agree with the 'drama' part, but don't use future tense. The problems already started" you explained and laughed. "You know a lot of names for someone who just started school here, Hargrove"

"Many people talk about you and your little group. It's actually impossible not to know your names." he said and his eyes widened like he just got an idea. "Listen, if you want to get out of here, maybe I can walk you home. What do you think?"

"I'd really love to, but Jonathan already said that he will come and I don't want him to waste his time like that. Besides, my dad will go crazy if he saw me go home this late next to a half naked stranger. Maybe some other time." you answered. A part of you wanted to agree but the other part was too scared. You barely knew him.

"Oh, your dad. The police chief. Understandable. Not the best circumstances... How about... we go to the cinema on friday? Or dinner?" Billy offered.

"Or both" you said.

"Or both! And then I can walk or drive you home. Not as a stranger anymore"

"That's sounds like a plan" the moment these word left your mouth, Jonathan's car appeared. You wanted to give Billy his jacket.

"Oh, no! Take it with you! See you soon!" he exclaimed as he watched you leave. You waved at him.

"Really? Hargrove?" Jonathan asked totally shocked as you entered the car.

"Yeah, is there any problem?"

"No, not at all. He just looks like a troublemaker. Be careful around him" Jonathan said worried.

"Don't worry, I will. I have that on me, remember? I can take care of myself" you said as you showed Jonathan a can of pepper spray you had in your bag.

Part ll > Part III > Part IV

First month of the school year passed. Nothing was really happening. Just the boring cycle of school, homework and sleep. Sometimes also hanging out with friends.

A few days before Halloween new students came to Hawkins High & Middle. They came together but they didn't look like they were siblings. You were sitting with Nancy and Steve in his car when they first appeared in school.

"How about you go to school on foot or by your car the next time?" Steve asked annoyed.

"How about you shut the hell up?" you answered quickly. You usually got to school with Jonathan but Nancy invited you to study and you fell asleep at her place so when Steve picked her up you took the opportunity and went with them. Suddenly, you heard a loud engine sound and turned your head towards the source of the noise.

"Well, this guy is definitely going to be a pain in the ass" Steve said as he saw you staring at the new guy.

You soon found out that the younger girl's name was Max. She was beautiful, you had to admit that. The older guy was her stepbrother. His name was Billy. Girls were drooling over him. Well, you couldn't blame them, because saying that he wasn't attractive would be a lie. He had a nice body, pretty face and cool style. But you couldn't disagree with Steve. This guy looked like the word 'trouble' in human form.

The Halloween was coming so it meant that there for sure will be a party. Tina gave invitation to everyone. You didn't really want to come but of course Nancy was begging you to come with them.

"Oh, come on, everyone will be there. Besides, what else can you do on Halloween night?" she asked.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe sit in my room? In peace? Watching a movie? Yeah, that's sounds like a plan" you told her as Jonathan approached you two.

"I'm not letting you sit alone in your room when everyone will have fun. And you? You are coming too, right?" Nancy said turning to Jonathan.

"Oh, no actually, I'm going treat-or-tricking with Will" Jonathan answered.

"See, not everyone's going to the party!" you exclaimed. Nancy just ignored that.

"Yhym, and you will be treat-or-tricking the whole night?" Jonathan wanted to say something but Nancy continued. "The answer is no, you won't. You'll probably end it at like... 8. So yeah, you are both going to the party".

Steve came to Nancy a few moments later, hugging and kissing her, so you looked at Jonathan and just left the lovers alone.

"Are we really going to the party?" you asked.

"Well, I guess so." Jonathan answered with a smile. He acted like he wasn't excited but you knew that he was happy that Nancy convinced you both to go. "Maybe it won't be that bad?"

You weren't really a fan of dressing up so you just put on a simple black dress and an old headband with little red devil horns that you found in your drawer. You did dark smoky eyes and put on a red lipstick. When you were ready with your outfit and make up, you looked at the clock. Nancy and Steve were supposed to pick you up in 5 minutes. You didn't have much time so you just teased your hair a little, took your bag and went outside your room.

"El, the food is on the table, I'm going out! Don't do anything stupid without me!" you shouted as you were leaving the house. Steve's car was already there.

"Ready for the party?" Steve asked as you entered the car.

"Not really, but c'mon, let's go and have some fun" you answer surprised by the happy tone of Steve's voice. Nancy turned to you and gave you a big smile.

After a few minutes, you were at Tina's house. The music was very loud and even from the driveway you could see that there were lots of people inside and outside. You felt nervous because you weren't used to parties like this. Nancy noticed that.

"It's gonna be ok. 'C'mon, let's go and have some fun', remember?" she said and you just nodded. As you were coming out the car you saw some boys chugging beer in front of the house. There was a familiar face in this little crowd. There stood the "new guy" in a leather jacket and a cigarette between his lips. He stared at you and smiled. You smiled back of course. Steve shook his head in disapproval. Oh, god this is going to be an interesting night.

Nancy entered the house and you followed her. You found punch and poured it into three cups for you, Nancy and Steve. Jonathan was nowhere to be found. You really hoped that he will make it there because it's better to make it through the party with someone that hates events like this as much as you do.

Maybe attending parties wasn't your favourite activity but after a few drinks it was much more easier to handle. You danced with Nancy and talked to a lot of new people but after a while Nancy found her old friend in the crowd and you left so they could talk alone. You poured yourself another cup of punch and made your way to the couch. After a few minutes you felt someone tapping your shoulder.

"Ymm, Y/n... do you have a moment? Can we talk?"

Part l > Part ll > Part III

After the fight with Demogorgon everything went back to normal. Or so you thought. It was Hawkins after all, so peace was never an option here. Soon after the incident, the police station was flooded with calls about a kid with a buzzcut running around the town, mostly near the forests. Of course your father had to take care of it. You both knew that the kid people were talking about was El, so you decided to help. You were dropping food in places in which El was seen. One day when you and your dad went to the woods, you found her and immediately took her home.

She was a nice girl and you tried your best to treat her like your little sister. But that was too hard. She was nothing like Sarah and the pain after her death was still in your heart. You could see the same feelings in your dad's eyes everytime he looked at her.

"I don't know if we can make her feel save, Y/n. I don't feel like I'm able to do it. The memories... It's too much sometimes" your dad said as you all sat on the couch, El already sleeping.

"We'll go through it together. Don't worry, dad. It's not easy but it'll be worth the pain after all" you comforted him. He smiled a little. The thought that he wasn't alone with this problem was actually making him feel much better.

Eleven had trouble with communication and talking about her feelings so misunderstandings and arguments were quite common. However, you and your dad didn't give up and tried to give her the best home she could have. The problem was that you had to keep it secret. It would be so much easier if Jonathan didn't spend so much time with Will. It was amazing that they had this beautiful relationship but Jonathan spending more time with Will led to you spending more time with Will. And also his friends - Dustin, Lucas and Mike. The last boy was completely ruined after Eleven dissapeared so it was horrible to not tell him the truth but you knew that they were all safer that way. 

During the summer you became closer with Nancy. She often offered meetings, going to the cinema, going shopping and etc. The two of you spent a huge amount of time together. You could say that you were best friends now. It was a nice feeling to have a girl as a best friend. You realised that you sticked with boys your whole life and now you had Nancy to talk about stuff the boys wouldn't understand.

The things was... hanging out with Nancy also often meant hanging out with Steve. You got used to it but deep down you were still hurt. There wasn't any bad blood between you at that moment but he still acted cold torwards you. Or maybe there was? You just remember your last fight about something stupid. That happened a lot. The fight were always about something not really inportant like where you should hang out or something but they happened all the time. Yeah, there defenitely was bad blood. It felt like Steve was mad that you came back into his life. You weren't friends, you were just close with the same person and met sometimes because of it. Nancy knew something was off but never asked you about it. Not until one day when you were staying over at her house and she was complaining about the fact that her relationship with Steve was getting worse.

"See, he is a lovely guy, he cares about me... but... there is so much going on and I don't know if we should be together anymore. It feels like we are growing apart" Nancy said with sadness in her voice.

"Yeah, I know the feeling" you answer remembering how bad you felt when you and Steve became basically strangers.

"Sorry if it's too personal or something but... have you and Steve... like... were you guys together or something? There is this weird tension when you are around each other"

"Oh, no, no, no... but we were friends. Close ones I'd say. Until high school happened" Nancy looked like she wanted to know more so you continued. To be honest you were surprised that you never talked about it before. "He changed, Nancy. He met new people and forgot about me. That's it"

"Oh, sorry..." Nancy said as she saw you sad face.

"That's totally fine! Things like that happen. It was just sad that it ended like that. But you know what? I feel like he is changing again. Maybe for the better and I think it's because of you. But if you feel like you are drifting apart it might not help at all" you explained and Nancy nodded. She looked like she was thinking about something.

"I see how he looks at you sometimes. I know it's weird but it makes me jealous... Some people even told me that they can see it to. Sorry... it's just awkward... Maybe- maybe I shouldn't have said that" The silence filled the room and Nancy fell asleep not much later. You, however, didn't sleep at all wondering if she was just jealous or if it was true.  It was sad that your friend felt this way about her relationship but that couldn't be real. Why would Steve think about anyone else like 'that' when he had Nancy? Especially why you?

Soon the new school year started. The last year of high school. You still weren't sure about what you want to do in the future. Maybe something connected with photography? Maybe you just should have a gap year? You had a lot of ideas and at the same time no idea at all. Kinda frustrating. But now you had to focus on the present. On school, your friends, El and dad. That what was the most important to you right now.

Prologue > Part l > Part ll

"Seems like this year will be really interesting"

This sentence was stuck in your head as you were setting up traps and lights in Byers' house. Not a single thing about it was normal. You were about to fight some kind of a weird monster from a different dimension along with Jonathan and Nancy. They started hanging out after the parking lot thing. You weren't really happy about it at first but Nancy turned out to be much nicer than you expected.

You felt some kind of peace with them around. But it wasn't enough to keep you calm. Thoughts in your mind were racing and you felt sick in your stomach. So much happened in such a short time. Jonathan had to take care of Will's funeral. You have just been crying with him over his brother's dead body but now you found out that he is alive, just in another dimension. Oh, yeah and you found out from a girl with superpowers. Totally normal. On top of that your dad and Joyce went to save Will and you had no idea if you will see him again.

"Everything's okay?" Nancy asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine... just thinking I guess. It's been crazy lately" Nancy just nodded. She understood that you were as scared as her. Suddenly you heard someone knocking on the door, making your heads turn that way.

"Jonathan? Are you there man? It's... It's Steve"

He didn't even need to finish the sentence because you already recognised his voice. Nice. That's exactly the last person that will help you all in this moment.

Nancy tried to tell him to go back home but he refused to listen. He saw that her hand was bleeding and stormed into the house. Steve didn't expect you to be there. You could see it on his face.

"Ok... What the HELL IS GOING ON? What are you all doing here? Why is she here?" Steve asked looking at you but there was no answer. They started shouting at Steve to leave. Everything was happening too fast. Suddenly you saw Nancy pointing a gun at Steve.

"Whoa, Nancy, I know that he's an idiot but that's a little brutal even for him" you said scared and went back to arguing with everyone. Steve was offended by that but you couldn't care less.

"Shut up! The lights!" Jonathan interrupted.

Seconds later a horrible creature covered in something like slime entered the house through the roof. Will's friends called it Demogorgon. Nancy, Jonathan and you started to run but Steve stood there looking at the monster. You took his hand and dragged him into the corridor. You ran into the room and Jonathan shut the door behind you. While waiting for something to happen, you realised that your hand was still holding Steve's. That was a weird but also a nice feeling. The boy looked into to your eyes then you took away your hand rather quickly.

"What the hell was that?" he shouted repeatedly, fear in his voice was clearly heard.

"SHUT UP" all of you said at once. After the noises stoped, you slowly left the room.

"This is crazy. This is CRAZY" Steve said.

Nancy told him that the Demogorgon will be back and with that, Steve ran to his car. You didn't hear the car start but you had better things to do right now than thinking about his stupid car. As Nancy said, the Demogorgon appeared again. It attacked Jonathan. You and Nancy shoot it a few times but the monster looked like it didn't hurt at all. The creature cought Nancy and threw her to the other side of the room and turned to you. Its horrible face was centimeters away from yours and you couldn't do anything. The Demogorgon was holding you so tight that you couldn't move. Suddenly, there was a loud noise and the monster turned around dropping you to the floor. Steve stood there with a baseball bat covered with nails. He started swinging the bat and hitting the beast. Soon it got stuck in the trap and you could stick to the plan and burn it. The flame was huge but it was also comforting because you knew that meant that the Demogorgon was dead.

"Thanks, Steve... for coming back" you thanked as he just nodded. To be honest you weren't expecting anything more than that from him.

Jonathan put the fire out and you could finally have some rest. Happily, no one was injured. At least not badly. You helped Jonathan with his wounds and vice versa while Steve and Nancy were taking care of each other. Jonathan's eyes lit with some kind of anger when he looked at them. At first you didn't know why, but then you realised it was jealousy. You felt it many times when looking at them but not now.

"NO, no, don't tell me that you have a crush on her" you whispered to him. Jonathan blushed and shushed you.

"You better shut up. As if your situation with HIM was any better..." he joked.

A/N: i had this idea, so i wrote a prologue for steve fanfiction. let me know if you want more. also english isnt my first language so sorry for any mistakes. ill gladly read any comments you leave. enjoy!

Part 1

You knew Steve since like... forever. You went to the same kindergarten and were basically inseparable and always there for each other. He supported you during your sister's illness and your parents divorce and he knew that you were the only person he could talk to when things got bad. Everytime his parents made him feel awful he sneaked out just to chat a little with you so you could cheer him up. These were a few years of beautiful friendship for sure. Your parents thought that maybe it could be something more one day. But that's already in the past.

When you went to high school you started to drift apart. Freshman year was nice but it felt different. You made new friends, Steve made even more. He got really popular, not gonna lie. It was never a problem to you until Tommy and Carol came into the picture. Steve changed. A lot. It seemed like he really wanted to impress his new friends by being an asshole to others. ‘Others’ including you. He didn't do anything specific and mean to you. He just acted like you never shared all this years as friends. It was the little things that hurt you the most. He stopped saying 'hi', turning his head other way everytime and pretending not to see you. You tried to act like you didn't care but it's easier said that done. It was like that the whole sophomore year. You wondered how this sweet boy that you had a crush on for a while now could turn into a stranger that quick.

Things got even worse once he got into a relationship with Nancy. To you, it all looked like it was on purpose just to make you feel jealous. All of the drama with Jonathan wasn't really helping at all.

You and Jonathan met in school's dark room in the end of first year in high school. You found out that you shared the same interest which was photography and became friends shockingly quick. Jonathan understood you like no one else. He also went through his parents divorce and at this time he was dealing with the disappearance of his little brother. This guy had a lot on his mind and on top of that he had some kind of beef with Steve. You remember vividly the day you saw Steve's 'gang' and Jonathan in a parking lot. You could feel the drama in the air but didn't really know what it was about.

"No, please, not the camera" you heard Jonathan say as you approached the group. The camera was in Steve's hand.

"Steve, don't be a dick and give it back" you said. He was really surprised to see you in that moment, but he looked straight into your eyes and dropped the camera on the ground. The lenses crushed and the thing was ruined.

"Come on, the game's about to start" Tommy said as the rest left the scene. You didn't even look at them because you were helping Jonathan clean the mess and didn't even realise that Steve never left.

"It so pathetic to see you like that, Y/n, you know? It's sad how you stick with losers like him" Steve whispered into your ear as he kneeled next to you.

"It's funny... you know? Cause I could say the same thing about you"

Steve didn't say anything. He just stood up and left.

"Oh, wow that was something. Seems like this year will be really interesting" Jonathan joked even though you could see how sad he was.
