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

008

After finishing movie night with the Byers Layla went straight to bed when she got home. She woke up the next morning to El standing over her with a sheet over her head like a ghost. More cute than it was scary but it had successfully scraped Layla, she was definitely more on edge and jumpier since last years events. 

"Jesus, go eat breakfast with Hop. I'll be there in a bit" Layla said catching her breath

After changing Layla joined the others for breakfast, leaving for school soon after having breakfast. While at school Layla had finally convinced Jonathan to come to the party for even just a bit. 

"Oh my god, fine I will go to this. But only so you don't get to drunk and tell Steve or Nancy anything" Jonathan said laughing 

"Deal" Layla said laughing too while she walked to her bike to go home. 

Layla got home and showered before grabbing her costume and makeup to leave and get ready and Nancy's house. 

"So what are you going as?" Nancy asked putting on her makeup 

"A devil. What about you and Steve?" 

"Joe and Lana from risky business"

"That's cute!" Nancy hummed a response as she finished her mascara.

While Nancy was finishing her hair in her bedroom Layla left for the bathroom to get ready. she decided to do a dark smoky eye with a bright red lip to match her shirt. Once she finished her makeup she changed into her black ripped skinny jeans, red cropped t-shirt, her black leather jacket, and her usual black converse. She put her hair down in waves and added the devil horns head band. Once she was finished she walked back into Nancy's room to see she was also done getting ready. 

"One, thank you. Two, I will not get hit on by every guy. And three, look at you! Steve's gonna be drooling over you all night" Nancy and Layla laughed for a bit before hearing a honking car outside, knowing Steve was here to pick them up. Both girls rand own the stairs and walked over to Steve's car. Steve looked over and saw Layla and admire her for a minute before focusing back on the car. 

Layla, Steve and Nancy arrived at the party to find it filled with alcohol and cigarettes. Layla left the couple to head to the kitchen where there would be alcohol. A few minutes later Nancy and Steve came over into the kitchen for a drink as well. Soon after Billy Hargrove came over, Layla hadn't met him, but heard enough to not like the guy. As if he knew he came right up to Layla and started a conversation.

"You hear that? I'm keg king now"

"What's your time?"

"40 seconds" Billy said with a smirk, while Layla 'tried' to hide her laughter.

"What? think you can do better?"

"Oh I know I can"

"Well... then prove it" Billy said smirking.

Steve heard the conversation and followed outside. Layla was about to flip upside down when Bill spoke again.

"Ya know, it's not to late to chicken out" 

"What? Scared to loose?"

Before Billy could respond Layla was upside down drinking, everyone started counting getting louder as they got closer and closer to Billy's time. She finished at 52 seconds. Once she finished she walked up to Billy getting in his face saying "See, now that's how you do a keg stand" She finished taking his cigarette from his mouth, taking a hit and walking back inside. Billy watched her walk away smirking, Steve definitely enjoyed the show as well. As Layla and Steve walked back inside Tommy yelled "We've finally got a keg queen!"

Layla smirked knowing she beat the kings time, Layla and Steve noticed Nancy dancing and decided to join her. After a while of dancing Billy came up behind Layla and started dancing and talking to her. 

"You know a pretty girl like you shouldn't be doing keg stands, dancing like this... dressed like that"

"And why is that?" Layla asked rolling her eyes

"Because you're driving the guys crazy"

Layla scoffed rolling her eyes again "I'm just trying to have a good time, and you, are ruining that"

"Oh. Playing hard to get I see" Billy said stepping closer to her from behind 

"Just Back off" Layla said, but again Billy just got closer. "Fuck off" Layla said turning around and punching him in the jaw.

As Steve was coming downstairs from his fight or break up, he couldn't tell, he saw Layla punch Billy so he walked over and grabbed her wrist guiding her out of the house and to his car. Once both were in his car he started driving home. 

"Am I bullshit?" Steve asked breaking the silence 

"What? No! You are not bullshit, why would you think that?" 

"Nancy..."

"What? Did she say that?"

Steve stayed silent for a while before saying "So... you and Billy had a fight"

"Ha! I guess. I told him to back off and he didn't so I punch him"

"Your hand okay?"

"Yeah it's fine"

"Layla..." Steve said softly looking at her not believing her

"I'm fine Steve. Now about you? Why do you think you're bullshit? Cuz Nancy said so? She's drunk and not in the right mindset right now"

"Drunk words are sober thoughts..." Steve mumbled. Layla didn't know how to respond to that and just stayed quiet.

After a silent rest of the drive to Steve's house, both teen went inside and fell asleep so sleep off the bad night and alcohol.
