Joe was hyper aware that everyone knew him as "Steve Harrington", and as much as that character had given him absolutely everything, he felt a pang of regret whenever he heard someone call his name from across the street, reaching for their phone before they had even said hello. He wanted to be "Just Joe". She, Iva Wilder, was anything but "known". A friend who would do absolutely anything for the people she cares about, a ride at 2am, a couch to crash on when things were tough. Iva always felt she was stuck in time, frozen still. Coming from a family with people who were very successful, she felt she didn't have the courage to do what she truly wanted, what her life calling was. When the two find each other in wraths of all the unknown, they find that sometimes things are just, that simple.

If you miss Steve Harrington and Stranger Things, this action packed story is a must read! It starts with strawberry ice cream, awkward smiles, and a movie date that finally seems to be happening. Then the lights flicker. One familiar screech is all it takes for Steve to realize Hawkins isn't done with them yet. As another nightmare unfolds, one ordinary night becomes a fight for survival, and the girl he was finally brave enough to ask out is thrown into a world she never knew existed. Some first dates end with a goodnight kiss. This one ends with monsters.

Prologue: Starting and taking place in the fall of Hawkins Indiana, 1984 ( season 2 ), 17 year old Allison Henderson, Dustin's "stuck up" older sister, who has never had a boyfriend ( let alone her first kiss ) finds herself in a situation she wouldn't wish on her worst enemy. She hated the idea of yearning for something that wasn't hers, but that would all change sooner than she thought.

She grew up across the street from him. Joe was first crushes, porch lights, family parties, and everything Victoria never quite got over. Even when he left for college. Even when New York claimed him. Even when the world did too. Years later, Victoria is building a life through photography, art, and carefully controlled distance when she's invited on tour with Joe and his friends, but proximity has a way of exposing what time never erased. As old feelings collide with new realities, Victoria is forced to confront the hardest truth of all: loving someone for years doesn't mean they were ever yours.
