My eyes flutter open to the bright light blaring through my window. I felt a heavy weight across my waist as I laid on my side. Looking down, I realize it's an arm.

Oh God! I jerk up, remembering Steve Harrington slept in my bed last night, and now his arm is latched across my waist.

I settle down, looking at the clock and realizing it's only 6 am. I took a moment to look at Steve, not in a creepy way but in an experimental way. His arm was still placed around my body, and it was kind of comforting. I didn't have the heart to move it.

His beaten lips were in a pout, his long hair disheveled on his head. I impulsively reached my hand out to touch the cuts along his jaw. My thumb traced them lightly.

He flinched a little, making me pull my hand back. His nose scrunched and he grumbled, "Don't stop."

With butterflies in my stomach, I hesitantly put my hand back up to his jaw. His head settled into my touch, his arm pulling me closer to his body.

A moment of such innocence has never felt so intimate to me, and I didn't want this moment to end, but I knew it had to eventually.

"Are you okay to go home?" I ask, running my thumb across his broken lips.

His lips part at my touch, and I swore my body turned to jelly. "Five more minutes?" He pouts, his bottom lip jutted out, eyes still shut.

I remove my hand from his face, figuring it has gone on long enough and my parents would be waking up in an hour. "No, Steve. My parents will be up soon, you should go." I say sternly, still staring at his features.

"Okay, fine." He lazily sits up in my bed, rubbing his eyes to wake himself up. The spot where his arm laid was now cold on my body.

"You can go out the window. The roof connects to it, the jump down isn't bad." I recommend, causing him to nod his head.

"I'll see you around, Lacey. Thank you for taking good care of me." He places a kiss on my cheek, unexpectedly giving me goosebumps.

He limps over to the window, careful not to be too loud, giving me one last look before jumping down. I knew he would probably never talk to me again, so I fell back asleep dreaming of his beaten skin and messy hair.

Sorry this is short I just wanted to upload a filler instead of a full chapter! Next chapter coming soon:)
