Chapter Eight
(Mentioning of suicide in this chapter)
——Steve's POV——
Y/n was fast asleep for the first 20 minutes after everyone left, and then she woke up in a panic.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?" I asked her as I quickly leapt up from my chair and moved over to the edge of her bed.
"Where's Dusty?" she asked me as a clear panic in her voice and body grew.
"Y/n, he went home. He asked me to stay with you..." I said to her.
"Oh, that actually makes sense... Steve, can I ask you something?" She asked me.
"Sure, ask away!" I said to her.
"Can you cuddle with me? It's just that it's cold, and hospital blankets are never warm" she asked me as she moved over on the bed to make space for me.
"Um sure" I said as I climbed onto the bed with her.
I wrapped my arms around her and slowly ran my left hand up and down her back. Her head was in the crook of my right arm which gave me the perfect view of her adorable sleeping face. Not even two minutes had pasted and she'd already gone back to sleep.
"I'll never let Jeff or anyone hurt you again Y/n, I promise darling..." I whispered in her ear as I kissed her forehead and slowly drifted off to sleep myself.
*Steve woke up a few hours later, it's now 2 AM*
"I love you Eddie" Y/n muttered to herself in her sleep.
My heart shattered as those words left her lips.
"Does she really have feelings for Eddie? I know that if you love someone you should be brave enough to tell them or be brave enough to watch them be loved by someone else. But really, Eddie? When I was at Hawkins High he'd always climb on top of the lunch tables and do dumb shit. Plus, he can't even graduate. Y/n deserves someone who can at least graduate. But I just want Y/n to smile, she's been threw so much. From her parents and now her baby, and if Eddie just happens to be her light in this darkness I shouldn't be mad that she loves him..." I thought to myself.
*Steve went back to sleep while he thought about how he would feel if you ended up actually loving Eddie*
——Y/n's POV——
*It's now 8 AM, and you woke up first. You looked up at Steve to see dried tear lines starring back at you. Steve was still asleep so you held him tight and didn't let go*
"From the heart is a silence, as the wind washed over the trees. From the heart of winds, the waves of silence wash over" I sang softly into Steve's ear.
It was the same lullaby that my mother would sing to me and my brother whenever one of us was feeling down. As I continued to sing to Steve, he slowly started to wake up.
"Y/n your voice is beautiful" Steve said softly to me.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to wake you, I just saw the tear lines on your face and I wanted to comfort you-" I said before Steve cut me off.
"Y/n, it's okay. Waking up to the sound of your voice was nice. But what song was that?" Steve asked to me.
"It's the song that my mother would sing to me and my brother whenever one of us was feeling sad" I explained to Steve.
"Wait- you have a brother? Why didn't he move with you to Hawkins?" Steve asked me.
"Steve I- I used to have a brother... Aaron... he- he took his own life..." I said as I began to cry into Steve's chest.
*He held you close and tried to calm you down*
"Shhhh, shhhh, I'm sorry..." Steve said softly to me.
*You fell asleep in Steve's arms again and slept for another two hours. You woke up at 10 AM*
"Steve..." I said as I turned to look up at him.
"Yes Y/n?" Steve asked me.
"Help me fix Billy, I don't think I can help him on my own" I said to him.
