Two seemingly broken people seem to find something truly amazing within one another in the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. What started out as annoyance, quickly turned to something much more. Something neither Lana nor Billy wanted to admit. Things...

I slowly opened the front door to the Byers house, regretting ever leaving the damn place once my eyes locked with a now smirking and smoking Billy. I'm so done for.....
"Am I dreaming? Or is that Harrington and Henderson?" I rolled my eyes with my arms folded in a sudden burst of anger that was coursing through my veins. I don't have time for his bullshit at the moment. I have kids to protect. I'm worried sick about the rest of my friends. And I'm really damn worried about what the hell is going to happen once they manage to get the Mind Flayer out of Will. Where will it go? More like, who will it go to?
"What are you doing here Billy?" We locked eyes for a brief moment, seeming to have a silent message pass between the both of us from my words directed at him. I knew why. But that doesn't mean I can't fuck with him huh?
"I'm looking for Max. But you knew that already Lana. Where is she?" I looked to Steve with a mock confused look, like I had no idea what he was talking about. Steve caught on and immediately backed me up. Because there's no way I'm letting Max leave with him. Not after what I saw his dad put him through about her being missing. He would take it out on Max. And I would be in jail for whooping his ass.
"I have no idea who that is, amigo." It felt like I was witnessing the ultimate showdown. Steve didn't like Billy. And Billy didn't like Steve. I knew eventually they would duke it out. But this was such horrible timing.
"Red head, kind of a bitch." I glared at Billy from the mere name directed at Max, clenching my fist underneath my folded arms. Keep your cool Lana. Those kids need you.
"Doesn't ring a bell." I honestly applaud Steve for standing up to Billy. He knows how much I want to protect those kids. And he clearly does as well. Even if we have to be in the line of fire with Billy Hargrove. I can definitely think of worse things. You know, like the Mind Flayer we should be really worried about. And the Demogorgons eating our faces off!
"You know Harrington, this whole situation rubs me the wrong way. I come looking for Max and was lead here. And then you just lie to me about it? You creep....." I instantly stepped in front of Steve and got right in Billy's face, not once thinking of backing down. I've have it! Besides, Steve was about to punch him from the mere look he was giving Billy. So I might as well take care of this shit myself.
"Oh, big bad Lana huh? I find you here, right with Harrington also. What is it with you man?" We stared each other down for what felt like hours, the tension completely thick in the air. But the crazy thing is, it wasn't just bad tension. And he felt it as well.
"She's not here Billy. Besides, I'm not letting you near her, when I know you'll just take your shit out on her! It's not her fault Billy! None of why you're here in Hawkins is! Grow the fuck up!" The silence was deafening from the moment my last word was uttered. Billy was practically seething from my angered words, judging by the way he was biting his lip, trying to control what he did next.
