My Stepbrother // Billy Hargrove & Steve Harrington × OC

6 // The party

Dani's POV

Billy was driving extremely fast as I sat in the back, holding onto my seat. After the long and hellish car ride, billy's blaring music was now replaced with the more popular genre stemming from the house we had just pulled up to.

Billy and tommy both got out of the car and I trailed along behind them. They were immediately greeted with cheers coming from all around, well, billy more than tommy. I thought it would be best to probably stay near billy, seeing as I didnt know anyone besides him, tommy, and Steve. Although after the events that happened less than an hour ago, I just wanted to forget what happened.

I approached the drink table and as I was poring this mysterious red liquid that reeked of booze, I looked at the people surrounding me wondering if I recognized anyone. Once I finished filling my drink and began gulping down the liquor, slightly burning my throat, I noticed steve over in the corner talking to a smaller female next to him. I was about to head over when he slowly leaned in and began making out with the girl.

Whatever hope of any happiness in my new life was shattered as I had the wind sucked out of me. I felt like I was just punched in the stomach. I walked back over to the drink bowl after downing the rest in my cup. Once it was filled to the brim I walked outside and saw a keg stand. I tapped a boy near me on the shoulder.

"Hey do you think you could help me do the keg stand? All you have to do is keep my legs up and make sure my dress stays down" I kindly asked the tall, shy boy with dirty blonde hair.

He looked kinda like a loner but had a kinda face. He simply nodded his head instead of voicing a response. We walked over and I looked over at the boy before lifting myself up onto the holders as I felt the boy reluctantly grab a hold of my legs and keep one hand on my upper thigh to keep my dress down.

It wasnt long before I heard chanting going all around me counting the time I could hold on. When i was put down I got to 39. I swallowed what was left in my mouth before turning to the boy next to me, only to see an angry looking billy striding towards him. I became very scared at the look on his face so I quickly grabbed the boy that helped me and ran. We quickly ran upstairs and into one of the spare rooms that was empty. It looked like maybe it was a spare room, it didnt have any pictures or specific decoration to specify anything else.

I sat down on the edge of the bed, catching my breath a little and patting the spot next to me, signalling for him to sit down. I started to finally relax a little, "I think the alcohol is getting to me"

He came over reluctantly, but didn't sit down.

"My names Dani. What's yours?"

"Um..its Jonathan"

"Oh, I like your name. Thanks for helping me again by the way. Nice to me you" I semi slurred while pushing my hand forward, expecting him to shake it but he just kinda starred.I awkwardly pulled it back and gave a tight lined smile. 

"So uh..why did you drink so much?" I was a little taken back by his question, seeing as he was a but quiet and shy and now he was asking a question like that.

"Sorry, you dont have to answer. I was just trying to make conversation." He quickly stammered.

"Oh no, its okay. Um..well its a little complicated I guess.." For some reason I trusted him. Maybe it was his kind eyes, sweet shyness, or maybe it was the fact that I was a little tipsy.

I just started pouring my heart out to him...how my step dad hit me, how I met Steve and how he was sort of a romantic interest for me, what happened with tommy, and how I saw Steve making out with a smaller girl before drinking. I dont know why I trusted him so much, it was weird..I havent trusted someone so much since before we moved.

Once I finished my monologue about hows its been since I moved here, he just hugged me. Then I started crying and just fell into his arms. I finally just just let it all out, I didnt try to hold back or anything. I felt safe with him. I rolled up the sleeves on my flannel and hugged him back as started calming down and just holding onto him. When we pulled away, I was fully calmed down but that didnt last too long as a feeling of panic sergered through me. He was looking at my scars. Crap. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when there was an urgent banging on the door.

Billy barged through the door and was filled with rage when he saw Jonathon next to me. He stomped over and grabbed him by the collar and I jumped up, pulling at his shoulder to get him off.

"Oh so you think you can just feel up Dani then run off with her to a bedroom?"

"Uh-uh n-o i- it wasnt- it wasnt like that" he stammared out eventually

"Billy stop it, I pulled him up here and asked him to help me with the stand. Please get off him, please!"

He slowly released him, looking pissed off but did, and pushed him out the door before locking it.

"What the HELL were you doing?"

I quickly became scared again and looked down at my lap.

"We were just talking I swear"

"You were just talking huh? I swe-"

He suddenly stopped for some reason and I looked up only to see him looking down. Fuck. He's the last person I wanted seeing my self harm scars. He slowly walked towards me, having no emotion on his face. Once he got close, he could see the reddness on my face and looked almost kinda worried.

"Did that fucker make you cry?! God I swear when I get my hands on hi-"

"No Jesus! he didnt make me cry, he made me feel better."

"Then why were you crying" he stepped forward and sat next to me on the bed.

"Because..I saw Steve kissing a girl and I dont know, I thought that maybe we had a thing going on but, I guess I was just being stupid. And..." I trailed off realizing I was about to out tommy and for some reason I was scared to tell billy about it.

"And what?"

I blew out a heavy sigh, looked him in the eye as mine became watery again, and held onto his hand before shamefully looking down, then spoke.

"Tommy, he..he raped me."
