My eyes fluttered open, Squeezing shut almost immediately as the sun beamed down on me. I groaned covering my face with a pillow rolling over only to land on my bedroom floor, a loud thud leading my mother to yell my name checking to see if I was okay.
"Yea mom i'm fine!" I answered helping myself up, I dragged myself to my bathroom, undressing and stepping into the hot water relaxing my body. Ever since I finished college I took advantage of sleeping in and hot relaxing showers. College making me sleep deprived and stressed to the point where I was pulling out my own hair.
I looked at myself in the mirror as I sat on my bed pulling on my boots, "Danica you have a visitor!" My mother yelled from downstairs. I made a face wondering who would be here to see me? Maybe Max or Billy I thought. I got up skipping downstairs my eyes-meeting Steve Harringtons, I paused analyzing him knowing he was doing the same with me. He was the same, looked the same, hair more tamed maybe two inches taller but that's all. I slowly walked over to my best friend a smile on his face, I couldn't help but giggle throwing my arms around his neck feeling him wrap his arms around my waist, picking me up and spinning me around.
"I missed you" He whispered
"I missed you too" I spoke
"Steve!" Dustin yelled causing Steve and I to pull apart, Dustin walking over giving him a "bro hug" as he calls it.
"Hungry?" Steve asked causing me to fake gasp making him chuckle, "I know how could I even ask that question" he spoke knowing how much I loved to eat.
"So how are you? How's New York?" He asked as we took our seat at Benny's Diner, Our childhood spot.
"Good and New York is New York, it's great at times and not so great" I breathed out
"What about you? How's Arizonaaa?" I sung before ordering my usual. "Hot" Steve answered causing me to laugh, "Well no shit"
"I mean do you have a girlfriend? Hows school? Have you made friends?"
"No girlfriend, schools great and I don't care to make friends." He answered chuckling as I gave him a look.
"Hawkins very own Steve Harrington a single man" I spoke
"Just waiting for the right girl" Steve spoke making me "aw" at his sweet words
"What about you?" He asked thanking the waitress as she place our food in front of us, Steve taking a bite before motioning me to "Spit it out"
"What about me? I told you everything was alright in New York"
"Come on Danica, that's not what I meant" Steve spoke annoyed causing me to roll my eyes and smirk, "Harrington if you wanted to know I have a boyfriend all you have to do is ask." I spoke moving some hair out of his face.
"Why'd you leave?" I sighed at his question sinking into my seat, "I didn't wanna break two boys hearts by choosing between the two" I thought but what came out my mouth was the complete opposite of what I thought. "I couldn't handle Hawkins anymore, This town was to small for a girl with big dreams" I spoke propping my head on my wrist.
"Are those dreams still big?" Steve questioned taking a bite of his pancakes, "Sometimes" I responded
Steve
"What about your dreams?" She asked making my heart flutter. Four years, Four long damn years and Danica still has this affect on me. I was in love with my best friend, I shouldn't be but shit I was.
"I don't have dreams" I spoke cutting up my pancake and placing a piece in my mouth.
"Everyone has dreams" She spoke staring at me with her green eyes. "Welp my dreams are to stay out of Hawkins but I just keep coming back." I spoke causing an infectious giggle to slip past her lips making me smile.
"No matter how small Hawkins is, it's home" She spoke taking a sip of her drink and moving a strand of hair behind her ear.
We sat for over two hours catching up with one another, I watched as Danica looked at her watch a surprised look on her face. "I have to go but i'll see you around okay Steveie" She spoke before kissing my cheek and leaving. I watched as she left Bennys diner hoping into her signature black Camaro. I smirked just thinking about the times we would sneak out driving her car around town smoking joints and taking shots.
I groaned at how amazing this girl is. I loved her shitttt I loved her. Four years did nothing but make me miss her. My best friend and first love.
