chapter five denial

LILY FEELS A FOOL. She'd gotten into Steve's car with the hope that they'd come to some sort of mutual understanding — she might even say some sort of trust. But she should have known better. Because now, he's taking his little joke even further and he's wasting her time feeding her more lies.
Did Steve really think she was going to believe he was involved in some big government conspiracy involving Hawkins Lab, the missing kid from last year and some sort of alternate dimension? The same alternate dimension which is apparently what is making her pumpkins rot? He's so full of shit. As per usual.
Because now he's saying she's in danger from those scientists from that lab — just because she knew there was something wrong with her pumpkins and the fact that he'd 'accidentally' let slip to her that the people testing them were bad people. She feels like she's in some sort of psychotic kidnapping plan. She also can't believe the stress Steve seems to be putting himself through with this. If this is all a ploy to keep himself out of trouble from poisoning those pumpkins, then maybe he really is starting to go insane.
"Lily, I swear to God, okay, it's all true!" Steve says, his eyes still on the road, his voice loud and shaky. "I know it sounds crazy, okay! I wouldn't even believe it myself if I were you, I would think I'm crazy—"
Lily scoffs.
"—But you have to listen to me—!"
"You really think I'm that stupid?!" Lily interrupts, her tone snarky as she aggressively points to herself. "I got in this car thinking you were going to try and be mature for once in your life and you feed me that crap?!"
"You don't believe me?!" Steve practically yells back. "You don't believe me! Fine, that doesn't mean you're still not in danger and that doesn't mean it'll all go away once you get home."
