Should I Stay or Should I Go?-Jonathan Byers x Black!OC

10. The Upside Down

After sneaking into the station to get the box of equipment, the three of you headed for Jonathan's house. You all did different things around the house to prepare. From putting new bulbs in the Christmas lights, crafting weapons, and setting traps. There was one last thing to do. Draw it out.

Each of you had a knife in one hand, and your palm facing up. "Remember." Jonathan said. "Straight into Will's room." You continued. "And don't step on the trap." Nancy said. "Wait for the yo-yo to move." You said. "Ready?" He asked you both. "Ready." You both replied. All of you began lifting the blades to your palms, counting down from three. "One...Two..." "You don't have to do this." He said. "Jonathan, stop talking." You replied. "Three!" Nancy said, all of you dragging the blade across your hands.

"Did you hear that?" You said, while you bandaged Jonathan's hand. "It's just the wind." He replied. "My mom said the lights speak when it comes." "Speak." "Blink. Think of them as alarms." "Is that too tight?" You asked, wrapping the bandage. "No, it's fine. Thanks." Letting your hand linger on his for a moment, he used his free hand to push the hair out from your face. "Dana?" "Hm?" Before he got the chance to finish, Nancy came in. "I found the Neosporin if anyone needs it." "We're good, thanks Nance." You chuckled. "Great timing you've got." Jonathan joked. "Not my fault you can't keep your hands off of each other." Your conversation was cut short by a loud band on the front door.

"Jonathan?" You heard from outside. "Are you there, man? It's Steve!" "Steve?" You all whispered to each other? "I just wanna talk!" Nancy walked over and opened the door slightly. "Steve, listen to me." "Nancy? What are you doing here?" "You need to leave." "I'm not trying to start anything." "I don't care. You need to leave." "I messed up, okay, I know that, but-" He stopped to stare the bandage on her hand. "What happened to your hand? Did he do that to you?" "No!" "Nancy, let me in!" "No!" He pushed the door open and ran into the house, stopping when he saw you and Jonathan. "Dana? What is this? An orgy?" "Get out!" You said, getting up to push him out of the house. "What is that smell? Is that gasoline?" "You need to go, Steve!" Jonathan said. "Steve, get out!" Nancy said, pointing the gun at him. "Woah!" Jonathan said, pulling you out of the way. "You have five seconds to get out of here!" She said. "Is this a joke?." He asked. You noticed the lights starting to blink. "Nancy." Y called out to her. "Three. Two." She said to Steve. "No no no!" "Nancy! The lights!" "Where is it?" Jonathan asked. "I don't see it." Nancy said. "What's here?" Steve asked. "Hello?! Will somebody please explain to me what's going on?!" Suddenly the creature began treating through the ceiling, causing Nancy to fire at it. "Go! Go! Run!" Jonathan said. Leading you all into Will's room. "What was that?!" Steve asked. "Shut up!" You all said in unison. Nancy aimed the hun at the door, Jonathan had his lighter to throw on the gasoline, and you had your axe. Since Steve have as defenseless, he stood behind you three. "What is it doing?" Nancy asked. "I don't know." You said. "Do you hear anything?" You asked. "No." Jonathan said, closing the lighter.

You all slowly opened the door and peeked your heads out one by one. Slowly making your way down the hallway and into the living room, keeping a lookout for the creature. "This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy!" Steve repeated. He went to pick up the phone, just for Nancy to smack it out of his hand. "It's going to come back. So you need to leave. Right now." She said sternly. Just like that, Steve ran out the door.

The lights started to flicker once more, as the three of you prepared for whatever came next. The room went completely dark, causing you to be on higher alert. You heard a low growling coming from behind you. Turning around, you saw the creature's shadow wall towards Jonathan. "Jonathan!" You tried to warn him. The monster knocked him over, and was now inches away from his face. You held your axe over your head, and swung it down on the creature's back. You lifted it back up, but before you could strike again, it walked closer to you. "Go to hell you son of a b*tch!" Nancy yelled while shooting it. Eventually, she ran out of bullets, and started backing up. You went to hit it, but before you could, someone else did. "Steve?!" You and Nancy yelled. Steve continued to tussle with the monster, leading it into the trap. "He's in the trap!" Jonathan yelled "Jonathan, now!" You yelled. The rest of you stepping behind him, Jonathan took his lighter and threw it on the gasoline. Flames emerged around the creature as it started to burn. After a few minutes, Jonathan took the fire extinguisher and put out the blaze. Covering your mouths due to the flames, but also keeping alert, you walked closer to where it was. "Where did it go?" Nancy asked. "It has to be dead." Jonathan responded. You saw the lights flicker softly as Jonathan walked towards them. "Mom, is that you?" He asked. He led you all outside to the streetlight. That was blinking too. "Where is it going?" You asked. "I don't think that's the monster." Jonathan said.

After reconvening with the group and learning of Will's safety, you all headed up to the hospital. With the exception of Joyce and Jonathan, you all sat in the waiting room, some sleeping, some anxiously waiting. Suddenly, Jonathan walked into the room, signaling the boys to follow him. "Guys. Wake up. Will's up." Mike said, shaking his friends awake and leading them into Will's hospital room. You stood in the doorway, smiling at their happiness. Jonathan turned to you, walking over and standing opposite of you. "Hey." He said. "Hi. Will is looking good." "Yeah. Hopefully he'll be home in a few weeks." "I'm happy for you guys." "Thanks." You sat in silence for a minute before he connected your hands with his and spoke. "So, you really like me, huh?" "Yeah, I guess you're alright." You smiled. "So what does this make us?" You asked. "Whatever you want us to be." "Do you want to be my boyfriend, Jonathan Byers?" "If you want to be my girlfriend, Dana Sinclair." You laughed and pulled him in, connecting your lips. "Get a room." Lucas said. You and Jonathan pulled apart and laughed, walking over to the group. Will, Jonathan, and Joyce looked so happy. And you were so glad to see them like that.
