You always had a crush on Steve
You've known him since you were little and he was your best friend
When he started dating Nancy Wheeler (your enemy) your heart shattered
You never told him, afraid you would ruin your friendship and their relationship

It was Halloween, your favorite time of the year. The new kid, Billy, asked you to come to the party with him. You've always been a party person and obviously said yes. Plus he was hot too so this was your chance to get over Steve.

You were getting ready at home, going as Sandy from grease. Billy would be picking you up at 7:30 and it was 7:25, he would be there any minute. You were curling your hair just as the bell rang. "Y/n sweetheart, there's someone here for you" your mom shouted. "Coming" you said running down the stairs. You saw Billy standing in the doorway. "Hey" you said to him. "Hi, you coming?" He said. "Yep! Bye mom" you yelled. "Bye honey, have fun and be home by curfew" you heard your mom say as you made your way to Billy's car.

The drive to the party was loud. Billy's rock music blasting through the radio. But you didn't mind as you were quite fond of rock music. When you arrived you saw a bunch of drunk teenagers in the front yard, throwing up or smoking god know what. You made your way to the keg stand as Billy wanted to do that. Steve used to do that all the time but now he was no where to be found.

"Fourty, fourty one, fourty two!" The crowed chanted as Billy came up for air. "We've got ourselves a new keg king! Tommy H yelled over the cheering crowd. They walked towards the doorway, you turned around and saw Steve and Nancy standing there. You walked that way too wanting to see what was going on. "We've got ourselves a new keg king Harrington" you heard Tommy say. Steve ignored Tommy and looked your way. He looked disappointed that you were there with Billy. He quickly walked back inside. You made your way through the crowd following him and Nancy, Billy didn't seem to bother as he was busy talking to someone else.

You saw Steve and Nancy dancing in the crowd as you joined everyone dancing along. While you were dancing you saw Nancy making her way to the alcohol with Steve following her looking concerned. You decided that you would follow them as you left the crowd. On your way there you saw Billy making out with some girl, "asshole" you thought. When you arrived at the kitchen you saw a whole crowd standing around the table. "Let...go" you heard a wasted Nancy say. "Stop Nancy" you heard Steve say. You peaked through the crowd when they all went silent at once. Nancy's shirt was soaking with red punch. As she moved her way through the crowd you could Steve following giving you a glance as he walked by. You decided it was enough for tonight so you went to sit on the front steps to wait for Billy.

After approximately 10 minutes you saw Jonathan pulling up the drive way. You decided to go talk to him. "Hey Jonathan" you said gaining his attention. "Oh hey y/n, why aren't you inside?" He asked. "I was bored" you simply answered. "You, bored at a party?" He said. "Yeah, my "date" started making out with a random girl" you said. "You had a date?" He asked. "Well, I wouldn't call it a date, he just asked me to go to the party with him. He picked me up at my house and drove me here" you explained. "Sounds like a date to me" he said. "It's not a date, I'm not even into him" you answered. "Who are you into then?" He asked already knowing the answer. "You know who, keep quiet" you said. "Ok, ok" he said. "I'm gonna head inside" he said. "Bye" you yelled after him as he entered the house.

After another 5 minutes you saw Steve running out of the house with tears in his eyes. "Hey Steve, wait up!" You yelled as he went to his car. "Go back to Billy y/n, he's looking for you" he said as he entered his car. "Fuck Billy, you're upset and you're my best friend. I'm not letting you go without explaining what's up. Plus you're probably drunk and if you get into a car accident it will all be my fault" you said giving him a serious look. But Steve being Steve being stubborn he just drove off. You wouldn't let him get away, so you went running after him. "Steve!" "STEVE" "STOP RIGHT NOW ASSHOLE" you yelled as you ran after him. You eventually ran out of breath and stopped running catching your breath. To your surprise, Steve stopped his car walking towards you. "You won't give up, will you?" He asked laughing as he handed you his keys. You both went to his car and you started driving to his place.

"Will you tell me what happened?" You asked. "She uhm, she said it was all bullshit, that I was bullshit, that we killed barb which is total bullshit you know that, she said I didn't love her. Our relationship was all bullshit. She said that I loved someone else" he said. "You're not bullshit Steve" you said trying to comfort him. "After tonight, I'm not so sure" he said.

You arrived at his house. "Well, I guess I'll call my mom to ask her if she can come pick me up" you said making your way to the phone cell. "You can stay if you want to" Steve said. "Is that okay?" You asked. "My parents aren't home so I'm pretty sure it is" he said. You chuckled knowing his parents were never home. "I still have to call my mom though, to tell her I'm staying at yours" you said dialing your house number.

You went inside. You haven't been here since the party where barb went missing (and got killed). "Just like old time" Steve said. "Yeah" you said. You sat down on the sofa making yourself comfortable. "What happened to us?" Steve asked. "What?" You said. "You know, we used to be super close, but you started distancing yourself or something" he said. "I wasn't distancing myself, you were always to busy with Nancy or your asshole friends" you said. "I wasn't that busy" he said locking eyes with you. "You were Steve" you said giggling. "Was I that busy?!" He questioned. "Yeah" you said. "Why were you with Billy at the party?" He asked. "I don't know, he asked if I would like to go to the party with him and I said yes" you said. "He's an asshole" Steve said. "Yeah, he is" you said.

You spent hours catching up. "Steve, it's 3:30 if I don't go to bed now I will be a monster in the morning" you said. "It's fine we'll go upstairs" he said standing up. "I'll take the guest room" you said walking there. "You can sleep in my room" he said. "Is that ok?" You asked. "It's fine, I have a spare mattress" Steve said opening the door to his room. "I still have some of your clothes you once forgot at sleepovers" Steve said opening a drawer. "I've also got this shirt I bought you last year for your birthday, and I have the same so we would be matching, but I wasn't invited so you know, kept it here just in case" he said rambling on. "I'll take that shirt" you said. Steve pulled out a Y/F/C shirt with Y/L/N on it. "It's pretty, thanks" you said giving him a smile. "No problem" he said smiling back at you. "You can dress in the bathroom, you know where it is" he said. You walked to his bathroom taking of your dress and putting on the shirt, you kept on your leggings. When you came back out of the bathroom you saw that Steve wore a Y/F/C shirt with Harrington on the back. "Is that the matching shirt?" You asked. "Yup, do you like it?" He asked. "I love it" you said walking towards the mattress you would be sleeping on. "Well uhm, goodnight" Steve said from his bed. "Goodnight Steve" you said drifting to sleep.

About 15 minutes later you heard Steve. "Y/n, are you awake?" Steve asked. "Now I am" you said sitting up. "Sorry" he said. "It's fine, is something wrong?" You asked. "Could you, uh, come here?" He asked. "In the bed or..." you asked. "Uhh, yeah, please" he said. You got up from the mattress and went over to Steve's bed, jumping on top of it. You laid down onto his bed. "What is it?" You asked. "You know, Nancy wasn't wrong" Steve said. "What do you mean?" you asked confused. "I am in love with someone else" Steve said. "I've realized that this girl, she makes me happy by just smiling at me or saying hi. I've always been pretending to love someone who I don't love" he continued. "Well, who is it?" You asked. Steve moved closer to you, almost closing the gap between the two of you. "Y/n..." he whispered. "What'-" before you could continue Steve smashed his lips onto yours. The kiss was soft and gentle. When you pulled away you saw Steve all flustered. "Sorry, I shouldn't have done that" he said. "I just couldn't wait any longer" he said. "Steve..." you started. "It's fine you don't feel the same, I just thought you had the right to know that I love you" he said.
"I love you too Steve" you said kissing him. When both of you pulled away you felt relieved that he finally knew. "Goodnight Steve" you said. "Goodnight Y/n" he said drifting to sleep.

This was a night you would never forget
