Cheat The Devil- Steve Harrington x Fem OC ON HOLD UNIT END OF SEPTEMBER 2024

004

After a while of walking it started to get dark, Layla's feet hurt and she was getting annoyed and tired. Nancy had suddenly heard a noise and stopped.

"What? You tired?" Jonathan asked 

"No, I... I heard something" Nancy responded 

everyone started walking towards the noise to find it was a deer, it looked like it had been hit by a car. 

"We can't leave it" Nancy sobbed, looking at the gun in her hand

"No, I'll do it" Layla said 

She then aimed her gun at the head on the animal, taking a breath before pulling the trigger. as the pulled the trigger the deer was drug away causing Layla to shot the ground where the deer had been. The teens then started following the trail of blood till it ended. Jonathan walked off alone while Nancy and Layla stayed together and found a strange hole in the base of a tree truck. Nancy stuck her hand through and was about to crawl through when Layla spoke up.

"You're not going in there are you?"

"Barb could be in there"

"Or that monster who could kill you"

Nancy ignored her and began crawling through the hole in the tree. 

"Great. Leave your weapon while you're at it why don't ya Nancy" Layla muttered to herself.

Layla began to crawl through and follow Nancy, Layla stood up and slowly walked over to Nancy. both girls stayed in silence and began exploring. They soon found the monster eating the deer. Nancy started to walk backwards despite Layla's protests saying to stand still. Nancy stepped on a twig that crunched loudly. Layla slowly closed her eyes and signed knowing Nancy just killed them both. 

Layla looked to Nancy to speak saying "Don't run or it will go for me. We wait and get out together" 

Nancy didn't hear anything Layla said and ran screaming. Layla again just signed, she began running too. Both girls ended up hiding behind different trees near each other, the monster walked away to find them. The girls heard Jonathan yelling for them, they saw the hole in the tree they crawled through to get to this hell, both girls looked to each other and nodded, they then ran for the hole. Nancy crawled through but as Layla was crawling through the monster came and grabbed her left calf and pulled her out. 

"Jesus! this thing has a big ass hand" Layla said

As the monster picked Layla up off the ground upside down its nails dug deeper into her leg. She reached for her pistol and shot for the head, it didn't drop her, so she shot 3 more times. It's grip finally released, dropping Layla causing her to fall directly onto her shoulder, she yelled in pain but ignored it as best she could and ran for the tree. Layla reached her hand out feeling Jonathan grab it and pull her out. Layla landed on the ground between Nancy and Jonathan, she began tearing up thinking about her almost death. 

"Holy shit! Your leg!" Jonathan said 

"Ignore it, I'm fine. Nancy? can we cool off at yours?" Nancy nodded back

After sneaking into Nancy's room she offered Layla first shower. Layla accepted the offer and showered, wincing as she cleaned her leg. After getting out she wrapped her leg in some bandages, knowing she would have to fix it later when she was home. After returning to Nancy's room Layla spoke up.

"I'm gonna head home, my dads probably worried" the other teens just nodded at her.

Layla hopped on her bike and drove home. She was thankful her dad wasn't home, she went straight to the bathroom to properly manage her wound. She winced when the hydrogen peroxide made contact with her cut. She grabbed the needle and thread, but before she started shewing she grabbed a clean cloth and put it in her mouth so she wouldn't break her teeth biting down. She then started stitching her skin back together, closing the wound. After she finished stitching she put a fresh wrap over the fresh cut and layer down in bed. After a while of just laying in bed unable to sleep she changed clothes, grabbed her bag and headed out. A quick 10 minute drive later and she got off her bike and walked up the sidewalk and knocked on the door. She looked at her watch to see it was now past midnight, she just hoped he was awake. As Layla was about to leave the door opened to reveal a tired looking Steve.

"Woah. What happened? Are you okay?" Steve asked 

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Just couldn't sleep ya know?"

"Uh... yeah. Come on, just head up to my room and we can talk or listen to some music or something"

After a few minutes of silence Layla was no longer on the verge of tears, she felt safe with Steve. Layla played on Steve's bed and eventually fell asleep. Steve noticed how peaceful she looked while asleep. Layla woke up the next morning alone in the Harrington house, having no idea where Steve went. She decided to just call Nancy and see what to do for the day. Nancy told Layla to meet them at the 'Hunting and camping' store downtown. Layla soon arrived at the store to see Nancy and Jonathan loading stuff into the trunk of Jonathans car. 

"Ah come on. Couldn't even hit for me?" Layla joked

"Sorry" Nancy said with a shrug laughing

someone interrupted the laughing driving by yelling "Cant wait to see your movie Nancy"

Everyone looked around confused when Nancy ran for the movie theater with Layla close behind. Nancy and Layla then saw the sign 'All The Right Moves Starring Nancy The Slut Wheeler'. Nancy's eyes started watering while Layla was just in shock, Jonathan was still a ways behind the girls. Nancy started walking towards a group in the alley, Layla saw Steve and signed. Nancy walked right up to Steve and slapped him saying "What is wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? I was worried about you, god I can't believe I was actually worried about you" Steve responded 

"What are you talking about?"

"I wouldn't lie, you don't wanna be known as the lying slut now do you?" Carol spoke up 

"Shut the fuck up Carol" Layla rolled her eyes

"Or what? huh?" Carol asked shoving Layla 

Layla was stronger and shoved carol back, pushing her into the brick wall behind her. Steve intervened pulling Layla to him and away from Carol and Tommy. Layla had missed Steve and Jonathans arguing during her show off with Carol, but she was about to see the after math. Jonathan lunged at Steve so Layla pushed Steve away, earning a punch from Jonathan in the jaw that knocked her into the car. Steve got angrier and swung at Jonathan, everyone was yelling at the boys to stop. The cops showed up soon after getting Jonathan while Steve and his friends ran off. Nancy, Jonathan and Layla had to go down to the police station.
