Starstruck | Steve Harrington

Confession

Scarlett's POV

I woke up like any other day to my obnoxious twin brother yelling at our younger sister, Max. Of course, Billy might've been an amazing brother to me and Max, but once we got into high school, he became a mini version of our father. Max has a different last name as us, because she has a different father than us.

My mother gave me and Billy her last name when we moved, but max still had her fathers. Dispute our mother getting back with Billy and my father, she still tried to minimize the abuse he gave towards me and Max. Billy wasn't abused as much anymore because he was stronger and more fit. Not that me and Max weren't, it's just that our father saw women as tools, so we weren't in his 'be cautious' type of criteria.

I walked down the stairs and Billy was about to grab Max by the arm when i shouted. "BILLY! LEAVE MAX ALONE." I walked down the stairs and into the living room where everything was going down. He turned to look at me, and instead of yelling, he slapped me across the face.

Max ran back outside and i put my hand against my left cheek. "Billy, we agreed that you wouldn't hurt Max, that includes grabbing her!" I said. He chuckled and put his hands up all innocent.

"Alright captain. Sorry for the misunderstanding of where i could give, TWO FLYING FUCKS." He yelled in my face. I grabbed my backpack and had Max get into my car. Billy can drive by himself today. Besides, he is the worst influence on Max ever. He yells at her, hits her, christ, he even tries to get her to smoke with him.

We pulled out of the driveway, and drove away. The car ride there was like normal. Quiet, and relaxing. "Hey Scar, I'm sorry for what happened back there. I didn't mean for you to get hurt." Max said.

I looked at her and smiled. I turned my attention back to the road and turned the radio down. "Max, don't apologize. I made Billy promise to leave you out of any family business, that includes grabbing you and verbally abusing you." I said reassuring her i'm alright.

She grabbed a small pouch i let her keep in the backseat and pulled out a granola bar and concealer. I assumed that she was gonna eat the granola bar, but i didn't know about the concealer.

"Here, you didn't have breakfast so you can have it, i have more." She said. I accepted the offer as i was starving, and smiled back at her, sending a small 'thanks'. We pulled into the school, and i was about to get out when Max stopped me.

"What's wrong? Is everything alright?" I asked, she shook her head and i got back into the car. I looked at her and she started to put the concealer on my cheek. "There's a bruise, and i assume you don't want your boyfriend to go bonkers." She said dabbing it in with her fingers.

"He's not my boyfriend Max! Were just friends, and nothing more. Besides, he's got his eyes on Mikes sister." I say as she puts the concealer back into the pouch, setting it back where she got it from. "I think you like him Scar, and for the record, Nancy Wheeler isn't good enough for Steve. But hell, you are so much better for him!" She says.

I shake my head at her unfazed and get out. She follows and shuts her door, and i lock the car. She walks next to me, when out of now where someone pick me up from behind.

"THE HELL!?" I shout. I get put down and turn around, and max does the same, but let's out a small laugh in the process. "I totally don't believe you now Scar." Max says giggling, she walks away leaving me with the one and only Steve Harrington.

"Steve! What the hell! You scared me half to death!" I say as we walk into the school, and out of the parking lot. "Chill Scar, i was just gonna surprise you. Speaking of surprises, what do you want for your birthday? March 29 is only a week away." He says.
