(Still pre season one)
Mrs. Byers showed you where her bathroom was and let you use her shower. Meanwhile, she and her boys had a little talk.
_____
"Be nice, okay?" She asked them softly, hands folded on top of the dinner table. "She's our guest, and she was stuffed in a cold trash can until 7:00."Johnathan scoffed. "She's a harrington, mom. I won't be mean, but I'm not gonna be happy about having her in our house."
Will frowned at his older brother. Did he really know nothing about how the Harrington family worked?
Mrs. Byers frowned disappointedly at her oldest son. "I've heard you talk about how... obnoxious Steve Harrington is. I know. But she is also your brothers friend and someone I have met on multiple occasions."
Johnathan folded his arms. "Her brother is way more than obnoxious."
"Johnathan," Mrs, Byers raised her voice. "Who do you think put her in that trash can."
This stopped the older Byers boy. "What?"
"Steve's a bully, right?" His mother nodded. "And bullies pick on people that are smaller and weaker. Not always physically, but that can be the case. Who do you think he pushes around when he's at home."
"Hopper said Steve was at a friends house..." Johnathan trailed off. "Oh." He ran a hand down his face. "I saw him talking to Tommy H. about hanging out at his house after school."
Will nodded along. "She told me that his parties are the worst. One time she showed up to a campaign with bruised fingers because they threw her in the pool and stomped on her hands so she couldn't get out."
Johnathan immediately felt guilty.
————-So you stayed the night at the Byers. It was the first time, but definitely not the last. It became like a new home to you whenever Steve had parties.
The couch became your designated spot.
Sure, Johnathan never really talked to you, but it was always fun to play games with Will and his mother.
But the older Byers boy found another way to be there for you. One that didn't involve talking
——-
Of course your bike was broken. You were forced to hike over to the highschool and get a ride with Steve back home. You told him that morning that you would need to be taken home. He knew.You arrived at the parking lot and weaved your way between kids. Each of them gave you strange looks, while others said "I swear the freshman are getting younger and younger every year".
You saw Steve's familiar red car.
Unlike all the other days, there was no one leaning against it talking to your stupid older brother. No Tommy H or Carol.
But when you got closer you could see Steve sitting in the drivers seat, his arm around Nancy Wheeler.
That was supposed to be your seat in the car.
You thought maybe he was just expecting you to sit in the backseat.
That is, until he looked up and made eye contact. His expression turned sour for half a second before he looked over at Nancy again. He told her something and she giggled, nodding.
He must have told her that they were going to go on a surprise date.
Why?
Because he peeled out of the high school parking lot.
