The Babysitters ♡ Steve Harrington

Episode 2

With the information that something was coming for the Wheelers, per Nancy's vision from Vecna almost two years ago and something from Will two seconds ago, everyone branched out.

Jonathan, Steve and I remained in the car while the others stayed with us. Mike, Nancy, Eleven and Lucas went to the Wheelers. It was hard to sit still while they practically ran towards danger, but we had a job to do to make sure Hopper comes home.

Hard part was, when the lights flickered in the car, it basically killed the battery and we needed to call for help.

"So, like, how long is this gonna take?" Jessica asked.

"Oh, uh, not too long. We just gotta let this sucker charge for a few minutes, then hopefully...vroom, vroom." Steve explained.

I let out a deep breath and leaned my butt against the car.

"Bopper?" Steve held the bar out for me.

I looked up at Jessica. "Bopper?"

Jessica scoffed. "No, I would like to go home, not share a snack with two fools my sister went to high school with."

"Sister? What sister?" I asked.

"Oh, you don't remember, Athena? You broke my sister's arm with your bat." Jessica glared.

Steve's head whipped over to me as this story constantly gets brought up.

"Jessica Martin. Mary's sister...it's ringing a bell now." I muttered as the woman continued to glare. "By the way, she threw the ball at me first."

"Because that's what you do in softball!" Jessica raised her voice.

I stared at her silently and turned around. "I'm just gonna wait in the car."

"Yeah, run off, bitch." Jessica's comment made me freeze in my steps.

I spun around. "What did you just say?"

Jessica crossed her arms. "You heard me."

I slowly nodded to myself before taking a quick step forward.

"Woah!" Steve stopped me before I could get closer. "No, no, no. Let's take a seat in the car, there are more Boppers in there because you're a little hangry."

Steve opened the passenger door and I sat inside.

"We're just gonna wait inside." Steve ran over to the driver's side and got in while Jessica sat in her own car.

"I was about to give her a matching cast like her sister." I muttered. "I didn't even know Mary had a sister."

"I didn't need you getting arrested for fighting, so let's just sit here and relax." Steve patted my leg before glancing back at Jonathan. "You get a hold of Nancy?"

"Dad's in an induced coma and Mom's in surgery. They're not gonna know anything for a couple hours." Jonathan explained and I closed my eyes, all the anger left and the sadness came forth.

"Did they say what did it?" I questioned.

"Not exactly." Jonathan whispered.

"I'm really worried for her." I told them.

"What, do you think we should go see her at the hospital? If you want to go, I'll drive you. I mean, if we can get this hunk of junk moving." Steve told me.

"No...we have to stick to the plan. Search zone, G1. Find Hopper and Eleven since she wanted to run through a gate." I denied.

"And Holly." Jonathan added, causing Steve and I to whip around.
