S O F T C O R E // Steve Harrington X Reader // Stranger Things

3. Holly, Jolly

I never realized that after me and Steve's rendezvous that I'd fallen asleep beside him. God, what was Mom and Dad going to think. I looked at Steve and then got out of his bed. "Harrington? Steve." I said getting a hum from him in response. "I've gotta go but I'll see you tomorrow." I said to him getting another hum in response. I put his hoodie on and my jeans before heading home. I saw my Mom sitting on the stairs.

"Where have you been?" She asked me, I looked at her.

"I went to go and get something to eat with some people but I'm ok." I said to her before going to pass her and she stopped me.

"And then why didn't you tell and who's sweater is that?" She asked me and I looked at her.

"It skipped my mind and this is Steve's." I said to her before going to pass her again but she stopped me then.

"And Steve is what your boyfriend I take it?" She asked me, I tilted my head to the side.

"He's my friend, am I not allowed to have them." I said before passing her and going up to my room. A while later I heard the door open and then Mom and Dad shouting at each other. I heard her mention blood but I took no notice to it. Once it arose to morning we all started having breakfast, that was before it was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who's that?" Hunter asked Mom and Dad.

"We're not expecting someone and it's early in the morning." Dad said to before going to the door. Once he opened it I saw police.

"Mr. Solace, we need you to come down to the station for questioning. We're arresting you on the suspicion of the kidnapping of Will Byers." I heard one of them say, Mom looked at me and Hunter.

"You two, go to school. Go out the back." She said to us.

"But I never did anything! You have no proof!" Dad shouted at them, I could feel my eyes well up with tears. This couldn't be real. Once I drove to school I saw Eddie.

"Solace, you look like shit." He said to me, he then realized that something was wrong. "Hey, is everything okay?" He asked me and I looked at him. I shook my head.

"My Dad was arrested but he's innocent, he never did anything." I said to him he grabbed my arms.

"Solace, I need you to take a chill pill. Calm down tell me what happened." He said to me before walking me over to a bench. I looked at him and then looked around.

"They arrested my Dad for the kidnapping of Will Byers but my Dad has never met the kid. He's met none of Hunter's friends except for you but that's different, they have no evidence that my Dad's guilty so I don't know what's happening and I'm just not okay." I said to Eddie while breaking down, he looked at me.

"Y/n, it will be okay. If they've got no evidence he'll be okay, I know that your Dad didn't do anything." He said to me and I looked at him.

"But last night him and my Mom got into a fight and she said something about him being covered in blood. What if he did do it." I said to him and he looked at me before looking around.

"Solace, your Dad doesn't have the will to I'll anyone he's all bark no bite. He'll be ok." He said to me before we started walking to our lockers I saw Steve and wiped my tears away and smiled.

"Did you get home okay?" He asked me while wrapping his arm around me.

"I did, Mom wasn't too impressed but I said that I went out for food, nothing about the party." I said to him as we started walking down the hallway.

"I'm glad you got home okay. I'll see you at lunch." He said before we both went off to class. Once it got around to lunch people were looking, they most of heard of about my Dad being arrested.
