My Stepbrother // Billy Hargrove & Steve Harrington × OC

20 // a lil inside Billy

Billy's POV

    The girl next to me was so annoying. After getting in my car to cool down I called up one of my past voyages and holy hell, this chick wont shut the hell up and I can't remember her name for the life of me. She was practically hanging off my chest, trying to cuddle, before I pushed her arms off and stood up to get dressed. As I was throwing on a button down shirt, I heard Dani's mom shout, but it wasn't fearful, it sounded....excited?

"Oh my gosh sweetie, you're finally home! come in, come in. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to pick you up, I got a call into work." Call into work my ass, she has been home all day..wait, Dani! I right out there once I heard she was back, but slowed down after realizing i was running.

"it's okay mom, I liked the drive home."

"yeah, it was fun." I heard a 3rd voice that sounded kinda familiar. Oh god...Harrington. When will she dump that prissy asshole and go for a real man?

I rolled my eyes and strolled down the stairs and turning into the living room, only being able to get a glimps of her from the kitchen. I sat down on the couch and turned on the tv while trying to not stare at her, and act like I don't care.

'Wait..act? What am I talking about? I DONT care.' I shook my head after that thought before hearing my name being yelled from the kitchen.

I turned the tv, that i wasn't even paying attention to, off and headed in, only to be pushed back by Dani. She practically sprinted out of the kitchen and into the bathroom, holding her mouth. I glared at the now closed door and rested against the door frame, once I approached it, to see my worst nightmare. My father, Dani's mother, and Harrington all smiling and getting along. Well, my father wasn't smiling, but it was the closest thing to it that I've ever seen him do.

"What?" I said, probably harsher than i needed to. My "father" turned to me, the half smile, scoul?...whatever he was doing, completely ridden from his face, so much so you wouldnt believe it was ever even there in the first place.

"Go pick up max from school."

"What? Its like an hour before she has to leave and they wouldnt let me sign her out. Why dont you go do it?" He looked me dead in the eye, with hatred, glaring at me and lowered his tone before repeating what he said slowly, leaving a chill down my spine.

"Go. Pick. Up. Max. NOW! I dont care if you have to wait there for an hour." he swung his arm, nearly hitting me, and pointed at the front door. "Go. Be a good big brother, and pick up your sister."

I pushed off the frame and heading in the direction of the door, but not before bumping my "father's" shoulder, giving a glare to Harrington, and flipping them all off, then opened the front door and got in my car before he could do anything.

'God I love adrenalin.'

////Dani's POV////

Right now, my heads in a toilet bowl. I wanted to go out and see what was happening but the yelling was coming from Neil and I knew it wouldnt be a good idea. Plus I mayyyyyy have threw up as soon as the door slammed anyway.

About five minutes later as I was washing my mouth out with some cold water from the sink, I heard a knock on the door and a voice that made me break out into a smile as soon as i heard it.

"Hey dani, you okay in there? You dont gotta be scared if you are, your stepdad is gone." Steve said through the door, with me opening it right after, startling him a little. It typically would make me laugh, but after what he said, yes sweet, but angering at the same time.

"That monster is NOT my stepfather." Before he could reply with whatever excuse he was coming up with I ran into my room, pushing passed him as I did with tears in my eyes.

'Gosh, why am i getting so emotional? He didnt mean it on purpose right?...I dont think he did..'

"Ugghhhh" I threw myself down on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. Time didnt seem to pass yet when I heard a door slam, breaking me out of my trance, the sky was dark with moonlight shining in my windows. I was still lying on my bed when someone aggressively knocked on the door. It seemed like all the energy was drained completely out of me for some reason, I couldnt find the strength to open the door or even get up. This thought alone frightened me greatly being that not long ago, I felt exactly like this and didnt eat for days.

Without me saying anything, the mystery person behind the door violently opened it and to my surprise it was my mother.

"Dani you better have a very good explanation for this." She said, holding up a slip of paper with small, broken up, and typed writing on it. She spoke stern, but in a way that I could tell she was holding back the yelling.

'What the hell, she never acts like this.'

"Well? Are you going to say something or just sit there starring at me like some retard?!" Her voice was getting higher to a point where she was near her peak of exploding. I wanted to speak. I wanted to speak so bad, to tell her I'm sorry, try to explain the reasons for my horrible grades for the first semester but....I couldn't. I literally didn't have the energy to do anything. When I just looked at her, yet again, she just shook her her head at me. Ill never forget the look on her face. Pure disgust.

A little later it grew darker, colder, and my eyelids grew heavier. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my breathing. I was extremely tired after finally finding the energy to pull my comforter over me, as i began getting very cold. Right before my mind went into a blissful sleep, I heard the door open. I kept my eyes closed so hopefully the person would see and go away, but I was wrong.

Instead the person sat down on the vacant side of my bed and soon I felt a hand softly brush stray hairs away from my face. They climed under the covers with me and put there arm around my waste, almost..scared. As if I would break if they touched me. It didn't take long for me to find out it was billy after feeling the hair slide on my shoulder as he pulled himself closer to me and exhaled, relaxing into me. Before I could ask him why he did any of this, my mind drifted off and I wasn't in reality anymore.

"Goodnig......" The whisper grew further as my mind began to dream.
