Chapter 39

We've been parked at Victors house while Nancy goes over the plan all over again since some of us are slow.

"I wanna run through it one more time," Nancy says. "Phase one."

"We meet Erica at the playground. She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready," Robbin says.

"Phase two."

"Max baits Vecna," Steve says. "He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance."

"Phase three?"

"Me and Eddie draw the bats away," I say and look at Eddie as he looks at me. I was originally supposed to go with Steve, Robbin, and Nancy, but Steve insisted that's it's too dangerous and that I should be away from Vecna.

I thought it was dumb, but clearly he doesn't. He even talked to Nancy one on one and had her change the plans without me knowing because he 'cares about me too much'.

I am so mad at him, and I am making him know that. I've just been near Robin and Eddie instead of Steve. Like does he not think I can take care of myself? I am pretty capable of myself.

"Four."

"We head into Vecna's newly bat-free lair, and...flamé," Robin lifts a molov.

"Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. Nobody delisted from the plan, no matter what. Got it?" Nancy looks at us.

We all nod and quietly rush outside of the RV into Eddie's trailer. Steve grabs me by my arm, "I need to talk to you before we go up there."

"Why?" I give him a look.

"It will literally take a second."

I sigh and turn towards the group, "excuse us. It'll just be a second." The group looks at us and nod.

"Don't stay in the bathroom making out. We've got a monster to kill," Erica looks at us. We stare at her like she's crazy. She puts her hands up in defense, "it's just the facts."

Steve leads me to the bathroom and shuts the door.

"What do you want," I start.

"Be careful," Steve practically throws himself on me. hugging me. I confusingly wrap my arms around Steve's neck.

"I will," I mutter to him. "I'm always careful. It's you that needs to be careful." I let go of the hug. "Do you know how many times you've been close to death, Steve?"

He looks at me and doesn't say anything.

"Hm?" I narrow my eyes at him. I sigh in annoyance. "Do you think I can't take care of myself? Because I can fully beat someone's ass if I wanted to."

"It's not that I don't think you can't take care of myself. It's that I don't think Dustin can take care of Eddie." Steve explain.

"Oh, trust me. I will," I look at him in the eyes. "I love you and all, but you make stupid decisions."

"I love you, too," he puts his hands on my jawline while looking down into my eyes. I look up in his eyes and down to his lips. He does the same and our breathing becomes heavy. Why is this boy so cute. I cant even stand being mad at him.

It feels like there's a magnet pulling us together. Our lips press against each other. His hand slides from my jawline to stroking my hair back. He presses my body against the wall opposite to the door. Our breathing becoming heavy. My arms become tighter around his neck.

"Woah," Dustin gasps from the door. "You were right Erica."

We pull away from each other and awkwardly lick our lips.
