It's Linda here, 

You may not know my story, but I'm here to tell it in a way that might shock you. I've lived in Hawkins, Indiana, before, but in a hidden gem where many people didn't know I existed. My parents did not have the best relationship, which led to the decision to divorce. I had to say goodbye to my home of Hawkins and left with my mom to start a new life in Chicago, where I've been living for the past 18 months.


Until recently, when I received an anonymous phone call stating that my father was in critical condition. He needed his daughter by his side.... as far as I know, I was his only daughter, but then I  remembered all the letters my father wrote to me about having a new family in Hawkins, and I should meet my half-sister Robin who he tells stories to about me all the time. Without hesitation, I said the news about Dad to Mom, and she wasn't pleased; as much as he was my father, she never denied the feeling of hatred and betrayal that he caused her when they were together, and she never wanted to see him again. Still, I decided to go to say my goodbyes if need be.

"Look, we're running out of time here and if you don't let go now to grab my hand, we're both going down," he pressed, eyes flickering between yours. "And I don't know about you, but I'd really prefer to stay alive tonight. So for both our sakes, you're going to have to take a leap of faith here." "Okay," you finally said, your voice soft, almost a whisper. He widened his eyes, quickly nodding to show you it was alright, that he'd catch you. "On three?" he asked, not wanting to rush you but knowing he had to if you both were going to make it out alive. You gave him a single nod. He hadn't even made it to two before you let go, firmly grabbing his elbow. Your clammy hands nearly slipped, causing you to yelp, but he quickly seized your hand, his fingers slotting through yours with a secure grip. With a strong pull, he lifted you up, the momentum sending you crashing onto him on the cement, safely away from the edge. The wall cracked and crumbled, falling along with the vine into the boiling liquid below. His arms encircled you, holding you firmly against his chest. "I got you," he murmured, letting his head rest against the hard ground as he looked up at the sky, his hands gently cradling your head. Your face nestled into the crook of his neck as you tried to steady your breathing. "I got you." // You've always lived for the dramatics, always patiently waiting for something, anything to change your life. After the earthquake that nearly tore Hawkins apart, you selfishly thought your moment had finally arrived. You didn't believe in coincidences. Hawkins didn't get earthquakes, and for one to just happen at such a huge magnitude was extremely bizarre. Something more had to be at play, and you were determined to uncover it. You didn't anticipate, however, just how much it would impact your life, or that it would all stem from meeting a certain group of people. *This is a Stranger Things Fiction *Steve Harrington x Female Reader

(Warning!! I have decided to put all chapters, from all the seasons on this book for multiple reasons. The main one being it is an easier layout for me. So, I am going to repost all of the Chapters from the second book to this one. So, the Chapters from With Me are in this book.) Book One: Stuck Together Logan Byers thought that his life was great. He had a great family, great friends and the best town to live in because nothing ever happens in Hawkins Indiana. That was until Logan Byers younger cousin, Will Byers goes missing. Book Two: Logan's life had gone back to normal except his father died last year trying to get to Will, with Joyce and Hopper. He has not really talked about it since the funeral but people are trying to get him to talk about it. His mom put him in therapy so he could at least tell someone but he won't budge, until a new girl enters and catches his eye. Book Three: Book Four: Book Five: This series will have Stephanie in the story as well but this is not her story this is Logan's. If you want to read about Stephanie Wheeler and Eddie Munson then go over to my 'Shit Happens' series. I am currently on season 1. All credit goes to the Duffer Brothers and any creators or people who worked on Stranger Things. I only own Marissa, James, Jamie, Logan, Evan and Chris Byers because they are my OCs. Cover creds to Scarletbitch1102. She is amazing. Book One which is based on Season One is kinda like a prologue to the other seasons because that is when his love interest enters the story: Max Mayfield

10 years. 10 years of hating Griffin Taylor. Luckily for me, he lives hundreds of miles away and I very rarely have to handle the knowledge he's in town for his 48 hour visits. Some supposed best friend he turned out to be. Mum and dad would have screamed at him for hours for missing the things he did. Though, Griffin Taylor never did care about other people's feelings. I always thought I wasn't apart of that rule. That I was different to him. His best friend. His rock. No call. No text, no message through his mum or his brother. Nothing. Mine and Piper's world collapsed from under us. Total strangers on the outskirts of town showed their love and support. But Griffin? He showed up 18 months later with barely a word before taking another life altering phone call. Ass. Now, 6 years after I last had the pleasure of being in his almighty presence, Piper made the overwhelming, stupid decision to invite him to her wedding. It's fine. He'll be here for his usual 48 hours and I'll find a million things to keep me out of his way so I'll barely see him. It's fine. Not a problem. I can handle it. Piper wants him here, Piper wants her family here and I guess, with no one else, the Taylor's are family. For Piper I'll keep my thoughts to myself, I'll smile and I'll be the good Christian I am. But as far as I care, Griffin Taylor can rot. In. Hell.
