Before the fire had consumed Hawkins, before everything broke, there was a flicker of light between two unlikely hearts. 

Billy Hargrove, all armor and fury.

Ruby Buckley, all light and calm.

In a world tangled with rumors, family ghosts, and the ache of growing up, they stumbled into something fragile, something that felt a little like heaven.

But heaven rarely lasts forever.

And sometimes love is only the memory you hold onto when everything else falls away.

Jealously is the Green Eyed Monster (Billy Hargrove X OC) by thaliagrace009
19 parts Complete Mature
Hawkins never stayed quiet for long. Every porch light flickered with secrets. Every shadowed street hummed like it remembered how to hurt. Jade Henderson had spent her life fixing things: her brother's messy science experiments, the cracks in her mother's smile, the pieces of a town that kept bleeding. She wasn't looking for trouble. Trouble found her. Trouble had storm-blue eyes, a Camaro that growled like it could swallow the night, and a heartbeat that raced hers without asking permission. Billy Hargrove was fire in human form. Sharp edges you wanted to touch, heat you wanted to burn yourself on, and a gaze that made your stomach collapse before your brain had a chance to catch up. He carried his pain like a secret weapon, and the world had learned to fear it. And somehow, Jade had been the spark. The one match he never thought to strike. He swore she was the only thing that made the chaos in his head still. She swore she could hate him for the way his voice slid down her spine and made her pulse stutter. They were both lying. Every glance was a dare. Every brush of skin a confession neither was brave enough to speak. Every breath between them sizzled like it carried its own warning. And while Hawkins rotted from the inside out, shadows creeping across the town like smoke, their secret burned hotter than the fire that waited to consume them. Loving Billy Hargrove wasn't safe. Nothing in Hawkins was. But God, it was impossible not to want it.

Also as an author's note, depending on the outcome of Season 5 of Stranger Things (when it finally comes out), I may or may not write a conclusion to this series. The outcome of this series (and possibly this book) will depend on the outcome of Season 5 so I can't promise a proper conclusion for a while.

billy hargrove and y/n y/n is new to a small town, Hawkins. she is going into her senior year of high school, but this summer is completely different from any other. billy hargrove comes into her life and changes it for good, or bad? This doesn't take place in any of the stranger things timeline. It's more so a "what if" than anything. I didn't want anyone to relieve the hell these poor characters went through!
