THE BATHTUB
"turn back!" Valerie shouted as they drove down the road
"what? no way!" Tommy H. replied.
"Thank for your input Tommy, no one asked!" she said, turning to steve. "let me go." she said threateningly "y'know if i didn't grab you back there, you would be on your way to a jail cell right now!" steve yelled back turning from the road, to Valerie, and back to the road.
"yeah, well rather that, then leave with you guys!" she yelled back " hey we saved your ass back there, i would be more gratefu.l" Carol replied "saved my ass?! Y'know i don't really remember you helping- at all carol. infact i remember you bolting as soon as you got the chance!"
Steve suddenly made a sharp turn into a gas station
"get out." steve said sternly "happily." Valerie said grabbing her bag, and walking out.
she walked right to the side of the store too a pay phone. she needed to see if Nancy and Jonathan were okay.
She started to search her pockets, trying to find a coin somewhere in order to contact the two.
once she realized she didn't have one, she rested her face in her hands "shit" she muttered.
"here" steve said handing her a quarter, catching her by surprise.
Still angry, she looked him up and down. Sighing, "thanks" she said. Valerie didn't care that this quarter came from steve "the hair" harrington. she just needed to get in touch with nancy.
after dialing the number she heard ringing, until someone spoke on the other line.
"hawkins police department, how may i help you" a lady could be heard on the other line.
"hi there, um is nancy wheeler there by any chance?" she questioned as steve leaned on the side of the booth.
"may i ask who is speaking?" the lady asked.
"Valerie... benson" she said warily, as she knew they were probably looking for her since she ran from cops after her friend assaulted once.
"Valerie? the chief is looking for you." the lady said, catching a nearby hopper's attention
" okay? cool. i-i dont really care right now... can you please, just get nancy on the line"
"one moment" the lady said as she put Valerie on hold.
Valerie sighed, looking up.
steve gave her a confused look "hold" Valerie mouthed to him.
