UNDER EDITS Steve Harrington and Cyndi Henderson have been "best friends" since Cyndi and Dustin moved to Hawkins. At least that's the lie that slips off their tongues. With the disappearance of Will Byers they don't realize how it will change their lives forever and how everything they considered friendship was all out of love.

Jim Hopper's niece, Delilah Hopper, moved to Hawkins after her parents died in a fire. Delilah was sent to live with Hopper after the accident and she had trouble adjusting. She was childhood friends with the Byers. Until Nancy Wheeler brought her to a bonfire where she met the king of Hawkins High, Steve Harrington. The night Will Byers went missing was the night Delilah's life changed. She always thought about everyone other than herself. After Steve noticed Delilah's disinterest in him, he suddenly grew interested in her, changing the stubborn, emotionless girl. Delilah has to balance her life in Hawkins with the new interest of Steve Harrington and the Demogorgon monster roaming Hawkins. -------- Disclaimer* I do not own any of the Stranger Things cast. I only own Delilah Hopper and the other characters I have made up!
