(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WAKE UP!" the girl jolts awake and she gasped for air, crying against Max's arms as she heard her walkman playing her song through her ears. Steve stood over the girls protectively, makings sure no one was around. "You're ok (y/n)." Max whispers, hating how scared her friend was.

"We need to take her to the police-"

"-no! Those bad lab men are after her! I'm not losing her again!" Max hisses out and Steve's expression hardened.

"She's not (y/n)-"

"-you confessed that you liked me but I rejected you... that night before Billy barged into the cabin..." (y/n) whispers and Steve goes rigid.

How did she...

No one knows-I never told anyone-

"(y/n)...?" Steve gasps, eyes welling with tears when he realised his friend was actually in front of her. She looks at him sadly and he kneels down to pull her into his arms, hugging the life out of her. "Oh my god! I missed you! I missed you so much! I can't believe you're alive!"

(y/n) hugs Steve back tightly. "I'm sorry..."

"No! No! I should be the one apologising! I'm so sorry! For everything!"

"It's ok..."

"It's not ok! You were taken into a lab!? That's sick! But I have to say I'm glad they managed to bring you alive. I just don't understand, all this time-"

"-I was living with Billy in California..." the girls tell Steve everything they could until they waited for Billy to come pick them up.

"What the fuck!?" Billy hisses as he gets out of his car once he arrived, leaning down in front of his girl who was drenched in a milkshake and covering her ears with her walkman. "What did you do Harrington!?"

"I'm sorry! Things got out of hand ok! I'm sorry really!" Billy grits his teeth and hugs (y/n), pulling her up and she melts into his arms.

"I'm here princess..."

"I'm sorry man, I didn't like how you were all up on this new girl after (y/n)'s funeral and I wanted to know what her deal was. I didn't know it was actually (y/n)."

"And we wanted to keep it that way!"

"I won't tell anyone. If Max says it's better to not let the group know cause people might be after (y/n) then I'm not saying shit." Billy glares at Steve, helping (y/n) into his car as Max jumped in with the shopping bags.

"You better keep that fucking mouth of yours shut or I won't be civil next time." Billy grinds his jaw and walks away to get in his car to drive away. "What the hell happened Max!?" Billy yells at his sister who glares back at him.

"It wasn't her fault Billy. A mishap at the restaurant. I just got food dropped on me by mistake and Steve managed to get a look at me when my glasses and hat came off."

"Ok fine but that fucker better keep his mouth shut."

"He will." Max pipes up. "By the way (y/n), how did you know what to say to Steve for him to believe it was actually you? Did you get a memory?"

"I think so?" Billy notices his love shuddering and he moves to grab her hand. "I was in the red place again and saw the MindFlayer..."

"Shit!" Billy slams his hand against the steering wheel angrily. "I shouldn't have let you both go out-"
