"Fucking hell, Robin be careful" I screech just as Robin nearly toppled over a specifically branchy part of the upside down forest. We can't exactly have her attracting any wild sort of beasts while we make our way to the Creel house

"Sorry sorry- where's Steve and Nancy?" She asked me, peering over my shoulder. Looking back as well, I curse when I realize that the pair wasn't behind us anymore

"Stay here, I'll try to walk back and look for them" Walking back to the way we came from, I can't help but get worried. Whether or not it was because Steve was alone with Nancy or if it was because they were somewhere in the upside down; I don't know. All I know is that I'm worried.

My unrequited crush on Steve was no secret- to everyone but Steve and Nancy at least. Even Munson immediately found out about my crush on him after just being around us for a few days! And it really didn't help that he and Robin seem to see the same thing I did- which was that a old burnt out spark between Steve and Nancy was possibly being lit up again.

"Shit" I mutter when I nearly tripped over a branch, shushing myself immediately when I hear voices. Following the sound of the familiar soothing voice, I find myself spying on Steve and Nancy's conversation. I know I should've walked away or maybe broke it apart, but I couldn't. Not when he was professing his love and dream of six kids and a white fenced house with the perfect girl.

He was literally the definition of 'If it isn't with you then I don't want it' which usually would make my heart throb, but in this case it did nothing but bring me pain. In fact, if you listen close enough, you could hear the small pieces of my heart shattering to pieces.

I wasn't like Nancy, that much was obvious. I took good care of my grades and stuff and had my own share of big dream, but I didn't style my hair every single day or dressed up in skirts and dresses, making sure I looked the utmost best in every day - no, I was just me. Plain old me, so it really wouldn't - or rather shouldn't shock me if Steve still loves Nancy

"Guys!" I hear Robin pant "Where were you? Y/n was just-"

"I'm here!" I shouted, making myself look like I had been walking for a while. I don't miss the slightly annoyed look that Steve had on his face for Robin ruining the moment between them. And for once, I'm glad that she came at the wrong times.

"Let's do this"

Everything was a blur after Vecna's vines closed around our neck. All I know is that when I opened my eyes, I was back in Hawkins at the school. I was wearing the same old outfit I used to wear when I was class president. Walking through the halls of the buzzling high school, I run to solitude in the girls bathroom when I freeze.

Giggling. I heard giggling, but not just any normal giggling. This was Steve and Nancy in the bathroom together. Running out of there immediately, I slow down when I realized that the school was now empty and... dark.

"Y/n" I heard a deep voice drawl from somewhere in the halls of the school and I make a run for it "Why would you wish for Steve and Nancy to break up when she was your friend?"

I run faster when the voice became louder and louder, it starting to morph into Steve's voice

"Why would you want me to leave the love of my life Y/n? Don't you love me?"
