Electricity (Steve HarringtonxFemaleReader)

~Chapter Five~

Y/N POV:

I finally arrive home. I enter my house seeing that per usual no one is here except for p/n. I walk over to her spot on the couch and sit down next to her. She wakes up from her nap and comes to sit on my lap. I cry silently into her fur as I hold her. I'm so upset right now. It feels like my life is just crumbling apart. Will is missing, Johnathan is being an asshole, those weird scientists are back, and I've lost almost all my friends. I cry myself to sleep on the couch in my living room wondering why this is all happening.

~Time Skip~

I wake up to hearing my doorbell ring. I look over at the clock and see it's 9 pm. I get up and walk over to my front door. I open it and see Johnathan with sadness in his eyes and tear stained cheeks. Before I can ask what happened he walks inside and shuts the door then tells me something I never EVER wanted to hear. They found Will's body in the creek. As soon as the words come out of his mouth I fall to the floor not wanting to believe it.

No. No way. No way this is happening. Will's not dead. He can't be. No. I then feel someone's arms wrap around me holding me. I cry into their jacket. I know I'm mad at Johnathan but I just need someone right now, and he was the closest person. We stay like this for awhile before he picks me up and brings me to my room. He places me on the bed before going downstairs to feed p/n and grab some blankets to make a bed on the floor. I just keep crying into my pillow until he returns. When he walks in I look at him and ask him to come lay down with me. He nods and lays right next to me. He doesn't say anything. He just holds me while I cry myself to sleep again...

~Time Skip~

I wake up and look at my clock. It's 9:30. I'm late to school but honestly I don't care. I'm not going today. I look up to see Johnathan just looking down at me. For 10 minutes we just look at each other until he tells me how he and his mom are going to go to the morgue and identify the body. He asks if I will come and I agree. I have to be there for them. If not for Johnathan then be there for Joyce. And also a little bit for me. I have to see it to know for a fact that this is actually happening.

We both get up. I hand Johnathan a pair of his pants and a new shirt that he's left at my place. He takes the clothes and walks out of the room leaving me alone. I get up the strength to shower and get ready. I throw on a pair of jeans and crewneck along with leaving my hair down after brushing it because I'm too tired to do anything else.

(your outfit, again sorry if you don't like it)

When you loose a loved one it feels the world stops and like you are just carrying an unbearable weight around. It's just hard to do anything at all because everything feels like a chore. Hell even keeping your eyes open and continuing to breathe seems like a chore. Once I'm finished getting ready I walk downstairs and see Johnathan making waffles. Will used to love waffles, especially decorating them. He would always make funny designs on them. Thinking of that memory makes me wanna cry but I don't have any more tears left.

I walk up behind Johnathan putting my chin on his shoulder watching him cook. He just glances at me before continuing what he was doing. When he finishes cooking we sit down and eat in silence. No one says anything. And when we finish our food we wash the dishes then proceed get into his car. The drive to the morgue was silent and heartbreaking. Knowing that we're gonna have to see that boy we cared about and loved so much.

Johnathan parks the car across the street and we walk over. Once we enter the building we see his mom and Hopper sitting down in the waiting room. I silently walk over to Joyce and she looks up at me. She then stands up and she hugs me. We stay there for a few minutes and when we pull away we both look like we're about to cry.

Suddenly we're called to go view the body. We all sit down next to one another and look through the little window only being able to see a tarp over the body. Then the doctor walks in and over to the tarp. He then pulls the tarp down revealing Will's body. I feel like my heart shattered into a million pieces. I know what I'm seeing is true but I can't wrap my head around it, Will is truly gone. I start to silently cry but I'm also trying so hard to be strong. Joyce then asks to see his arm. When the doctor shows his arm that's when she gets up and storms away screaming it's not Will.

Johnathan and I follow her trying to calm her down but she keeps talking about how that's not her boy and it's not Will. "I don't know whatever the hell that is but that's not my boy. No that's not Will" she screams over and over agin until she leaves the building, with me and Johnathan following. Johnathan keeps trying to calm her down but she won't stop until it turns into a full blown argument between them and people in the street are watching it go down.

The last thing I heard Johnathan scream before they walk away from each other was "Fine, but we're gonna have a proper funeral for him because he deserves it." It breaks my heart seeing this all happen. Johnathan and his mum should be there for each other. It's sad to see them have these fights and arguments in a time like this.

Johnathan then walks over to me and tells me to come. So I follow him back to the morgue where we sign for the body. Life just seems so still right now. After we finish up the paperwork Johnathan takes me back home and I ask if he would like to come inside to which he declines saying he has stuff to do. I nod and we say our goodbyes. As I watch him drive away I just stand still even when his car is in the distance. It started to rain so now I'm soaking wet.

I finally decide to go inside and I go to my room laying on my bed, still in my soaked clothes, and just think about everything that's happened today. It's crazy how quickly everything can just flip on you, one minute you're as happy as can be and the next the world is crumbling down on you.
