    In Hawkins, everyone knows everyone. Maggie Henderson has spent her whole life being the safe place. The girl parents trust. The one the party run to when things get scary. Dustin's older sister. The calm in the chaos. But when Will Byers goes missing, the world cracks in a way Maggie can't fix. She grows quieter, more protective, and shuts out everyone except the boys she promised herself she'd keep safe. Everyone notices the change. Especially Steve Harrington. What starts as concern turns into something deeper, something instinctive. From the night everything shifts, Steve realizes there is nothing he wouldn't do to protect the girl who has always protected everyone else. Everyone sees it coming. Everyone except them.

    Benjamin Hargrove's life was quite litteraly the definition of chaotic. It was always changing -and not necessarily for the better. First, came his family's financial problems. The Hargrove family's money, as well as good reputation, was ripped away from them after a really unlucky night at the casino. (no thanks to Neil Hargrove) Not long after, his father started drinking to rid himself of guilt (and that didn't help the family's financial state one bit). With Neil spending unhealthy amounts of money on alcohol and cigarettes, Meggy, Benj's mom, had to take extra shifts at the local hospital to make up for the loss of money. Which meant that it was just Benj and Billy, two close-knitted brothers against the world. Billy was Benj's only constant in his life. Until he was no more. With the only person who was there for him hating him, Benj finds himself in a life he doesn't want to be in anymore. That was until a fiery red head practically forced herself into his life and quickly became his favorite person in his small world.

    Steve Harrington was driving along the empty road, music blasting while bobbing his head and tapping his hands against the steering wheel to the beat. The sky was empty showcasing the bright stars that contrasted against the darkness. A shadow figure appeared in his peripheral vision and collapsed to the ground. He quickly stopped the car, leaving the head lights on and pointed to the figure and climbed out. "Hey are you alright..?" He said curiously and leaned on the open door. "Hello?" He dragged out and waved his hand as if to gain their attention. The person slowly stood, raising their hand to block the blinding white light shining at them. Blinking a few times they slowly lowered their hand and looked at him, their long matted hair falling from their face to reveal it covered in dirt. "Kid you okay?" He questioned and closed his car door carefully to not startle them. Upon further inspection he realised that it was a young girl, no older than 14 who stood in a torn hospital like gown with a thin cardigan wrapped around them.

For being the cheer captain, class favourite and prom queen she really disappeared after graduation. So much potential, wasted. That's what they all said. Truthfully, Faye's life had been a lie. She'd worked her way to the top, a game of survival. It wasn't who she wanted to be, it wasn't who she believed she was. Her life was anything but perfect. After her father left her older brother Robert thought it his duty to run the house. His anger and spite left Faye hiding in her room, patterned in bruises. Faye's uncle was her only hope, the way out of the house that had become hell for her. She thought the job would be a temporary solution. Sat behind a bar serving drunks and shunting away those thinking their faces don't scream of youth. Yet it wasn't the time away from her family or the distraction from the chaos that made her new occupation all the more interesting. In fact her shining optimism came in the form of the pubs live music. A band, a rock band. With a guitarist who seemed determined to solve the mystery of what happened to the notorious Faye Harper. ☄︎ ☄︎ ☄︎

    'Steve Harrington wasn't expecting to wake up to Dustin three inches from his face but, he did. He jumped, sitting up quickly, jerking away from the curly headed child, only to find that not only was Dustin standing around his bed but so was Lucas, Will, Eleven, Max and Jonathan. "What the hell you guys?" Steve asked, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Spoiler; he wasn't. "We need your help." Jonathan blurted. Steve was surprised. Jonathan needed his help? Why? "Uh..why?" "Mike and Nancy are in trouble and we need to save them." --- "Hello?" Stanley called into the empty house and in return got the most chilling response. Nothing. Then all together the children each took a step apart to go investigate the rest of the house when the door slammed shut. Richie squealed and jumped into Eddie's arms. Eddie, shrugged him off quickly but quickly regretted it when in the next second the entire room got dark and the surroundings flickered. Thick, black vines were spread everywhere about the room, from the floor to the ceiling was covered in them. But it only lasted a moment before it flickered again and it was just a normal empty house again except of small detail. Now sitting directly in the middle of the previously empty living room, was a small crumpled up yellow rain coat, with a small paper boat sitting on top that read, 'SS Georgie.' It was then that the Loser's club heard the chilling laugh of the thing they feared to fear, echoing from within the walls of the house. *This is a fanfiction written between me, my sister and my best friend. We have mixed Stranger Things and the 2017 version of It together in a fanfiction*
