In Hawkins, Indiana, secrets don't stay buried for long.
When Will Byers disappears, Cate Henderson is just trying to survive junior year-balancing school, small-town boredom, and keeping her curious little brother Dustin out of trouble. But the night the lights begin to flicker and the world starts to change, Cate's life is pulled into something far darker than she could ever imagine.
From the moment she steps into the chaos of the Upside Down, Cate becomes the heart that holds the group together. She fights beside her brother, protects her friends, and discovers a strength she never knew she had. But as the shadows of Hawkins deepen, one person keeps finding his way back to her: Steve Harrington.
What starts as an unlikely friendship between the King of Hawkins High and the quiet girl next door becomes something deeper-tested through monsters, heartbreak, and the haunting pull of parallel worlds. Together, Cate and Steve face every season of terror: the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, Vecna, and the ghosts of who they used to be.
Love is dangerous when your world keeps breaking in two.
And as new storms gather over Hawkins, Cate will learn that every choice-every sacrifice-could tip the balance between the world she loves and the darkness that calls to her.
Because sometimes the greatest battle isn't just between good and evil...
It's between two worlds-and the hearts trapped inside them.
This is my fan fiction story, the stranger things story line does not belong to me, this is simply because I love the story so much. All rights belong to the Duffer Brothers, Netflix and anyone else thats included in that. But Cate and her parts she plays in this story all belong to me as she is my original character. Do not steal my works.

She got invited to any and every party, making her easily one of, if not the most popular girl in school. She never expected anything to change. She had never wanted it to change. But that all goes out the window the minute Will Byers goes missing one November night. Though she's unsure of how exactly she got roped into it, she teams up with an unlikely group of people to try and find the young boy, knowing that this wasn't your normal missing kid story. While searching for Will, secrets begin to come to the surface. The more they learn about the secrets of their home, the more Jenna realizes that her past has never been what it seemed, and danger was becoming more and more inevitable each day. But none of that will stop Jenna, because she refuses to be forgotten. She will be unforgettable.

Moving into the small town of Hawkins during her sophomore year of high school wasn't a treat, but she didn't let it ruin her spirits too much. In fact, she even made some new friends along the way. Granted, most of them were in middle school and were major nerds, but that didn't bother her. She even joined in on some of their DnD campaigns whenever they invited her. It was fun, that was until one of the kids, Will, went missing. Along the way to finding him, (Y/N) befriends some people from her own school, including the goody-two-shoes Nancy Wheeler, and her boyfriend, Steve "The Hair" Harrington. She never really understood why everyone was obsessed with Steve. Or was everyone obsessed with his hair? She never knew. He could be a real asshole sometimes, too. But for whatever reason, she finds herself becoming closer with him the more they hang out. Maybe the king himself wasn't all too bad. - I've rewritten this book as I didn't like the plot all too much! You can find it on my profile titled "Waiting For A Girl Like You". This book is a slow-burn and will be going through the episodes of Stranger Things in order starting from season 1. SEASONS 1-3 FINISHED - LONG CHAPTERS -Complete

Everyone knew Becca Hopper wanted out of Hawkins. Her social life consisted of a middle schooler she babysat, his friends she occasionally drove around, and that was it. She was simply the chief's daughter no one had ever truly gotten the chance to know. But with gates into other worlds opening and Dustin Henderson dragging her into trouble, she has no choice but to get to know the people she'd spent so long ignoring. And catching Steve Harrington's attention? That didn't matter to her in the slightest. Really. Stranger Things Fanfic Steve Harrington X OC COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5
