I Love You, I'm Sorry // Steve Harrington x Reader

"Not here! Not now!"

Song - Back To The Old House - The Smiths

When we get to Jonathan's house the three of us rush to the back of the car and waste no time pulling the weapons out of the trunk. We get inside and drop the stuff on the couch. Immediately we start screwing the bulbs onto the Christmas lights because for some reason they were all taken off.

Jonathan nails the bear traps to the ground and me and Nancy watch in silence. Nancy loads her gun afterwards while Jonathan hammers nails onto Nancy and I's bats.

Nancy and I then spread gasoline down the hallway while the hammering continues.

Very carefully we set up the bear trap and yo-yo booby trap. We have to take a few deep breathes after the realization the bear trap didn't cut our hands off sets in.

We walk back to the kitchen and grab a knife for each of us.

"Remember." Jonathan begins the step walkthrough.

"Straight into Will's room." Nancy continues.

"And don't step on the bear trap." I finish.

"Wait for the yo-yo to move." She nods.

"Then." Jonathan flicks the lighter. "All right. You two ready?"

"Ready."

"Ready."

"On three. One. Two. You don't have to do this guys."

"Jonathan stop talking."

"I'm just saying."

"Stop."

"Three."

Ouch. Who knew cutting into your palm would hurt so bad.

We all move to the couch and begin wrapping out hands when we hear a creek.

"Did you hear that?" Nancy asks.

"It's just the wind." Jonathan assures her but she doesn't look like she's believing it. "Don't worry. My mom she said the lights speak when it comes."

"Speak?" I question kind of butting into the conversation.

"Blink. Think of them as alarms.

"Is that too tight." She asks him about his hand after a good minute of awkward silence.

"No, it's fine. Thanks." I notice her kind of holding his hand. I can't help but kind of want to root them on.

"Nancy?" He questions.

"Yeah."

That's when banging on the door starts and I cover my mouth quickly in an effort not to scream.

"Jonathan? Are you there man? It's... it's steve. Listen I just want to talk!" More banging so I stand up and open the door.

"Steve, listen to me."

"Hey, y/n what are you- is that Nancy?"

"You need to leave."

"I'm not trying to start anything, okay?"

"I don't care about that. You need to leave."

"No, no, no. Listen, I messed up, okay. I messed up.... I messed up. Okay?"He starts trying to scream to Nancy.

"Not here! Not now! Steve! You need to leave."

"Please. I just want to make things right. Y/n you said-"

"I said not here not now."

"Hey what happened to your hand y/n? Is that blood?"

"Nothing, it was an accident. What do you care?"
