How to Save a Life (Will ByersXreader) (stXreader) COMPLETED

Chapter 10

———ONE MONTH LATER———
So the lab closed for good. People found out about the story from Jonathan and Nancy's tape they recorded at the lab. I love those two.
Nancy's friend Barb was buried and she could finally tell Barbs parents the truth. A lot more had gone on in our "family" too.
One day after Hopper showed us the movie "Jaws", he told us he was going out to meet a friend. Usually the days he takes off he spends with us, so Jane and I wonder what he is going to do.
Hoppers POV::
I leave the girls at home and tell them I'm going to see a friend. I'm going to see Doc Owens to have a meeting about what we disused in the stair well the night I saved his ass. I walk into the bar. Taking off my jacket, I sit down in the booth that Owens is in.
"Chief-o."
"How's the leg?" I ask smiling.
"Better. I'm pretty sure my football career is over though." We both chuckle lightly.
"Hey want some of this? There's no way I'm going to finish it." He slides a plate with a burger still on it over to me.
"No. I'm uh... on a diet." I reply.
"Well your a better man then me." He says and I chuckle again.
"Hey, uh, got a little something for you." I sigh as he reaches over to his bag and pulls out two matching envelopes. He slides them over to me and I pick them up and open them both.

"Congratulations, pops." I look at him with disbelief.
"I thought—"
"Sometimes I impress even myself." I fold up the papers and put them back in their envelopes.
"Still, I'd let things cool off for awhile, if I were you."
"How long is awhile?" I ask with a sniff.
"Want to be safe? I'd give it a year."
"A year?" I grab the burger and take a big bite. He chuckles and I lean back.
"What about just one night out?"
"One night?"
"Yeah. How risky would that be?"
"What's so important about one night?"

DECEMBER 15, 1984
The decorations for the Snow Ball go up in Hawkins Middle's gym. Streamers and sliver tinsel. Mr. Clark hangs up the Snow Ball '84 sign up that he helped his girlfriend make.

Meanwhile at the Byers residence, Joyce teaches her son how to dance.
"Yeah, you got it! See?"
"Mom!" Will says. Jingle Bell Rock echos in the background as Jonathan films his little brother and mom dancing in the living room.
"Do you always have to film everything?" Will asks his older brother.
"No no," he responds. "Just the good stuff." He chuckles to himself.
"Are you sure people still dance like this?" Will asks his mother. She shakes her head.
"Yeah. It's what's happening." She says to try an act cool.
"Is it 'what's happing'?" Will asks the camera. Jonathan response
"Yeah, yeah, its 'what's happening'!" Will spins his mother Joyce.
"So will... do you think you'll ask y/n to dance? I know she kinda likes you..." Jonathan says.
"For heavens sake, Jonathan! She saved Will's life! He should ask her to dance!" Will's cheeks blushed as he thought of y/n. For the past month, they've been talking on their Walkman together and Will thinks she's pretty cool. He hasn't seen her since that night, however, when she did in fact save him. Will is really excited to see her again at the dance. I am going to ask her. He thinks to himself.
"What???" Will replies, trying to dodge the fact that they both like each other. "I don't even know if the chief will let her." Joyce smiled at herself knowing she would be there. Hopper told her the day before to meet him in the school parking lot during the dance.
