DONT FUCK WITH THE BABYSITTER ♡ STEVE HARRINGTON (1)

Dropping down ungracefully, Frankie Walsh felt the breath escape her lungs as she gazed at the tunnels in front of her. Running a hand over her hair, the brunette took in a deep breath glad that her mouth was covered. There were strange particles floating through the air that looked like dead skin or ash, and whatever it was Frankie didn't want to inhale any of it.

"You're pretty sure, or you're certain?" She heard Dustin's muffled voice ask Mike a few feet away from her.

"I'm one hundred percent sure. Just follow me and you'll know!" Mike spoke up loudly as he turned around obviously annoyed at Dustin.

"Woah, woah, woah! Hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't think so." Steve exclaimed shining the flashlight into Mike's eyes.

"What?" Mike asked shielding his eyes with a gloved hand. Steve just walked up to the boy.

"If any of you little shits die down here, Frankie and I are getting the blame. Got it, dipshit?" Grabbing the map from Mike's hands, Steve turned towards the rest of the group. "From here on out, Fran and I are leading the way. Come on, lets go."

Frankie who had no idea what was going on, raised her brows before sighing as she walked over the uneven surface of the floor. Stumbling a bit over the rocks and piles of dirt, she reached Steve just in time for him to boss around the kids some more.

"Hey, a little hustle."

Frankie quickly tried to match his pace, but honestly she and the rest of the kids were starting to drag. Steve was obviously more taller than her and the kids, and the boy could walk fast.

"Steve, slow down." She said as she climbed over a rock that was in her way. Steve glanced back at the struggling girl and the rest of the kids and sighed a bit.

"Come on Franny, if we don't hurry it up who knows what will happen." Holding his hand out to the long haired girl, he sent her a small smile as she accepted it and used it to jump off the rock.

Unfortunately, Frankie hadn't estimated where to jump to. It was way too dark and she couldn't see the floor as she left the rock. She couldn't see the small hole that wouldn't have been a problem unless you accidentally jumped right in it which is what she did.

"Ah!" She screamed out as her body flew forward but her foot stayed in the same place. Feeling her ankle twist in the most uncomfortable way, the feeling started to burn red hot which caused tears to pour from Frankie's eyes. Looking over her shoulder, she felt a sob escape her lips as she stared at her foot which wasn't doing what it should be doing.

"Frankie? Frankie, are you okay?!" Steve shouted trying to gain her attention. He held onto her shoulders before looking towards her foot and feeling his stomach churn.

"Frankie!" The kids cried out as they saw her crumbled on the floor. They quickly rushed onto the scene and helped her unhook her foot from the hole, hesitantly because of her cries. Steve pulled her in to sit in between his legs as Dustin and Lucas gently prodded her ankle which was bent in an odd way.
