This story is my take on what would have happened if Vecna didn't kill Chrissy in Season 4 of Stranger Things. The year is 1986, Chrissy Cunningham is a senior at Hawkins High. She is done playing pretend as Hawkins High's poster girl and wants a way out. She decides to pay a visit to Eddie Munson, a notorious possible leader of the occult and drug dealer. As the events of their partnership unfold, Chrissy has to make a choice; does she want to stick with the status quo, ultimately leading to her miserable downfall or does she want to break the social hierarchy of Hawkins High and free herself from her abusive friends and boyfriend. BIG TW for the whole story: I change dialogue and sequences from the show to fit how I want the story to go, as well as I've created new characters to make the story flow better, so if you are expecting the show word for word then, well I wouldn't. This story contains very strong scenes of domestic abuse and there is some talk of sexual abuse. Also because of the nature of the main character if you have emetophobia then also this might not be for you since the narrator has bulimia. Lastly, all supernatural elements are going to be removed from this purely because if they weren't, the narrator would die in chapter 4. So if you are expecting to learn more about Vecna or the Upside Down, you're in the wrong place. Consider yourselves warned, I still hope you give this a try! This is my first time doing something like this, so I hope you like it :)

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university.
