Before Steve Harrington became Hawkins' hero, he was mine.
I grew up watching my brother protect me from things no one ever saw- our father, parties that went too far, secrets nobody talked about.
This is the story they never told.
The nights before the Upside Down.
The nights before he was tortured by Russians.
The nights before he nearly died.
The reason he is so good with kids.
