Be Safe || Steve Harrington

|| Chapter 1||

Hi, My name is Lana Henderson. I'm 18 years old and I live with my dad in New York. Yes, I do have a little brother and his name is Dustin. My mom and my dad got divorced when I was 5 years old. Dustin doesn't know about me since he was basically still a baby when mom and dad got separated. My dad took me while mom took Dustin. Honestly I both hate them so much. I hate them because I never got to grow up with my little brother and the sad part is, he doesn't even know that he has a sister. So I decided to go back to Hawkins and make sure Dustin knows about me.

"Lana. Are you sure you want to go back to Hawkins? I mean you can just ask them to come here or write them a letter or something." Dad reasoned out while I was packing my stuff.

"Dad, I want to go back to Hawkins. I want Dustin to know that I exist...I want to protect him. I'll be back when I graduate from Senior High." shrugging as I looked at my dad who was quiet.

"Okay. Okay. Just make sure to call me once you arrive. Say hi to Claudia for me and tell Dustin that I love him and I'm gonna make it up to him." nodding my head.

"Well, I gotta go now."

"of course sweetheart. I'll see you soon, okay?"

"Okay."

'Welcome to Hawkins' it says as I passed by the sign. Well I just hope that Dustin would understand and would not hate me. Sighing; 'Should I stay or Should I go' was playing as I lightly bobbed my head to the beat. Shit I think I'm lost. I could see 4 kids riding their bike laughing and talking I immediately followed them "Hey! Kids!" they all turned to stop and look at me.

"Yeah? Can we help you?" The pale looking kid asked.

"Uh, do you know where Mrs. Henderson lives?" I asked as the curly head boy smiled and nodded his head.

"I do! I'm on my way home anyways, want me to lead the way?" oh shit, is he? Smiling as I nodded my head.

"Yes please." tears were starting to form as the boys looked at me worriedly.

"Are you okay?" the curly boy asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just-wow. I'm just new here and you boys are so kind." they all smiled.

"Well we better get going. Oh how about I give you guys a lift home as a thank you?" they nodded and smiled. Placing their bikes at the back of my truck as I helped them.

"Alright you guys good to go?" they all nodded as we sat there talking to each other, them telling me what to expect and not expect here.

"I'm Dustin by the way." he smiled showing his pearls.

"I'm Lucas!"

"I'm Mike."

"I'm Will."

"Well you guys surely as handsome and sweet. I'm Lana, Lana Hend-" clearing my throat as I laughed nervously. "Well please do instruct me to where you guys live okay." they laughed as they nodded their head.

The first one that I dropped off was Will since he had a curfew. I met Will's mom, his brother wasn't home so I wasn't able to meet him. Second was Lucas. Third was Mike, also finding out that he has a sister who goes to Hawkins High. Then lastly we arrived at my moms house.

"Here we are." Dustin smiled as he hopped off the truck. Following him from behind, I was starting to feel nervous. What if my mom hates me? What if they kick me out? What am I gonna do? Hearing the front door open, seeing my mother. MY Mother for the very first time. Her eyes went wide as tears were streaming down her face.

"Lana?" nodding my head as she pulled me into a hug. sobbing, hugging her tightly. Dustin looking confused on what was happening.

"Oh, sweetheart. Look at you. All beautiful and grown up." smiling; wiping my tears.

"I missed you Mom, so much." Dustin's mouth fell open as he stared at us.

"Mom?" he asked. nodding my head as our mom guided us to the living room to sit.

"Dustin, I haven't told you this because it was very hard for me and you wouldn't understand. But I should've told you a long time ago, this is Lana. Lana is your sister."

"Dustin...you okay?" he stood up and ruffled his hair.

"NO! Mom why didn't you tell me before? And you, why didn't you say anything awhile ago or tried contacting me?"

"Because mom and dad wouldn't let me...that's why I decided to show up here and live here until I graduate. I'm sorry." Dustin ran up to me and hugged me, sobbing.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm sorry, I'm here now buddy. You can rely on me, i'm here when you need help, or when someone bullies you, I'm here now. I'm never leaving you again, I promise." Dustin smiled as I wiped his tears.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"I can't believe that I had a big sister." chuckling as I lightly ruffled his hair.

"Well now you know, also I'm the coolest big sister you ever will have."

"Why is that?" raising an eyebrow as I chuckled.

"Because our Dad owns NYU University. I'm a famous photographer in New York and probably in the whole world." shrugging as Dustin stared at me, shocked on what he was hearing.

"How come I don't know?"

"Maybe because you don't really pay attention to the News or read the newspaper or something." Dustin nodded his head.

"Good point. But also that explains alot." Dustin said.

"Explains what?" Dustin smiled.

"Mrs. Byers, Mrs. Wheeler, and Mrs. Sinclair was shocked to see the very famous photographer, which is you, dropping their kids off at home. I also saw that they have printed and framed your works to be displayed at their house." smiling.

"Well that's very kind of them." Dustin nodded. "Wait till you see Jonathan's face when he sees you." Chucking as I shake my head "I don't even know what he looks like but I'll probably see him at school, yeah?" Dustin nodded

"Well your photos are awesome."

"Thanks Dustin."

This is what Lana's Truck looks like! Also just imagine that there's a backseat XD
