She's mine

6

So the thing is I probably should have climbed through my window, but I didn't. I went right through the front door. For some reason I knew Steve would still be up, but I had so much hope that he actually believed I was asleep and he took his ass to bed. You know like most cousins would. However steve and I wasn't normal cousins.

Steve and I are more like siblings then cousins. Honestly Steve has pretty much raised me. It's always been me and steve as long as I can remember. His parents are never home. Like I've lived with steve for the last few years and his parents have been home maybe a month in that entire time period. His parents were more like those half assed parents who gave you money and they figured that was good parenting. By giving your kids whatever they want.

However them doing that kind of made steve not very likable. He is a dick. Well he used to be a dick. He is a lot better now. Sure he is a dick to me but I'm his family. Isn't it normal for people to treat family like assholes? So steve honestly used to be wayyyy worse then what he is now. He's definitely changed a lot.

Honestly when Nancy cheated on him it sort of changed him. I remember sitting in his bed and holding him while he cried hysterically for days. I never thought Steve Harrington could ever love someone other than himself. Yet he did. He really loved her. Honestly I kind of think he still does.

When Nancy cheated on Steve it sort of destroyed him. He loved her more than anything in his life. Probably including me to be honest. Sure he loved me but he didn't love anyone like Nancy.

When Nancy did what she did it broke him in a way. He became more of a dick with a broken heart. She honestly kind of destroyed his outlook on love. He still wasn't as bad as what he was before Nancy, but he was hurt Steve now. Which is not the best version of Steve.

Everyone knew it too. One day Nancy and Steve were the it couple of Hawkins high, and the next they wouldn't even look at each other in the hallways. Neither one of them wished bad on the other. They kind of just stopped.

"Where the hell have you been?" Steve asked in a clearly pissed off tone of voice.

I froze in front of the door when I heard Steve's voice. Seconds after I shut the front door steve turned on the light as he looked at me. His arms were crossed over his chest and he was waiting for my answer. Visibly mad at me.

"Uhm I went for a walk." I said as I bit the bottom of my lip gently.

Steve squared his eyes and nodded his head slowly at the same time. "For five hours?" His tone was sharp.

He didn't believe me. Like at fucking all. Hell I wasn't even sure that I believed my lie. Which didn't really sell the lie even in the slightest.

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?" I said more confidently.

I knew I was lying but the less nervous I sounded he might end up believing me. He didn't though. Like I said it's always been steve and I. He knew when I was lying. Even before I knew I was going to lie, Steve knew. It was one of his talents I suppose.

"God your dumb. You know what Natalie, don't say I didn't warn you." Steve said after a sarcastic snort.

"What is your problem?" I said with irritation covering my entire body, face and voice.

Steve shook his head and sighed heavily. "Nothing Natalie. I just know what kind of guy he is. HELL NAT IM ONE OF THOSE GUYS. I'm just trying to protect you. I can't believe after everything you fucking went out with him, and I'm not even going to start on just how late you are for your curfew."

*Give yourself credit Steve. Your not that same guy anymore. Wait how did he know I was with Billy. Natalie of course he knows. Where else would you have been?
