AT LAST, I COULD BREATHE | billy hargrove

foreword.

Hi! This is a short author's note from Brooke, the author of this story.

First off, I want to thank you for choosing to read AT LAST, I COULD BREATHE! I put so much time and energy into this story, and I had so much fun doing so. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Also, I wanted to put a disclaimer forward that I do not own any characters from the world of Stranger Things, I simply own Bo Hughes, and everyone related to her. I also don't own any storylines from Stranger Things, I own all other plotlines, however.

And I wanted to put it out there that these characters will express views on certain topics that I myself do not align with. For example, I don't excuse Billy Hargrove's character for anything he's done, but in this story, I will attempt to make him a bit more human and less villainous.

And if there are any derogatory terms used, just know they are simply for the purpose of characterization and as an expression of the time period—and are not meant to offend anyone by any means.

Lastly, I wanted to issue a warning that this story contains very sensitive topics that aren't meant to be glorified or romanticized in any way!!! (emotional and physical abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, tragic deaths, etc.) This story also contains very explicit language & sexuality, and I'll make sure to put warnings when NSFW scenes occur, but the language is scattered, so if you aren't comfortable with that then this may not be the book for you.

Here's a quick cast list:

Angelina Jolie (Young) as Bernadette "Bo" Hughes

Dacre Montgomery as Billy Hargrove

James Marsden as John Davis

Chloe Grace Moretz as Ruby Jones

And everyone else in Stranger Things as their characters

Thanks for listening to me ramble !!
