(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You are not your body, not your mind or your brain. Not your thoughts or feelings you are not your DNA. You are the observer, I am the witness. You now belong to me, to us (y/n)."

"(y/n)! Come back to me please!" Billy holds his love's cheeks with shaky hands, Steve and Nancy trying to figure out a way to save her as blood trickled from her mouth and her eyes. They all gasp in fright when (y/n) suddenly lowers her head back to normal with a loud crack, her eyes going back to normal without them rolling to the back of her head. Billy waited patiently with fear, watching the colour rise on his girlfriend's face again as she blinks her eyes to look at him. "(y/n)?"

"Billy..." she whispers and he smiles in relief, pulling her into a hug and holding her tight in his arms.

"I thought I lost you again!" Nancy watches with wide eyes as Billy spills how glad he was that (y/n) was back to him, cradling her face gently with love to ask her if she was hurt anywhere while wiping the blood away from her face.

"I'm ok now..." she mumbles out softly and Billy presses kisses on her forehead, keeping his tears at bay as he brushed her hair back gently. He didn't know how he would survive losing his love for a second time again, to have that guilt of not being able to save her the second time. He couldn't live without her.

"Let's get you out of here quick." he helps (y/n) up, turning to climb on the rope.

"Thank fuck (y/n) is ok..." Steve breathes out heavily in relief, his heart pounding from the scare he just got. "Do you think she's actually ok? She's so quiet. Why did Vecna let you both go?" He asks Nancy a million questions but she freezes in fear as (y/n) turns around to look at her, her dull doe eyes staring back at her with no emotion.

"Princess! Let's go!" Billy calls out once he gets up from the mattress in the trailer, Steve helping (y/n) up again to climb the rope. "I'm not going to let you fall." he sees her hesitate before falling through the gate and he quickly catches his love, holding her tight. "You're ok now." he whispers, gently setting her down on her feet but she falters and he quickly catches her again.

"(y/n)!" the kids exclaim with concern, surrounding Billy and her.

"I'm ok... I'm just, just very tired..." she rubs her forehead, wincing and Billy picks her up again in his arms as Steve and Nancy finally make it through the gate.

"We need a place to lay low. We can't stay here in case the police come." Steve quickly says, checking out the windows of Eddie's trailer.

"Yeah cause right now, we're fugitives from the law." Lucas says for Erica, Max and Dustin as the adults all look at them.

"What!?"

"We kinda ran away from them when they were interrogating us." Dustin shrugs like it was nothing and Steve pinches the bridge of his nose.

"You've got to be kidding me..."

"You guys can come over to our place. No one is going to look for us there." Max says and everyone quickly agrees.

"But how? We don't have any cars or anything to take us." Robin asks.

"And we can't exactly bike back without getting caught." Dustin says.

"Who said anything about bikes?" Eddie and Billy both say, getting the same idea and everyone raises a brow at them.

"You got some car we don't know about?" Steve says.

"It's not exactly a car, Steve. And it's not exactly mine," Eddie looks at Billy who nods, the former pointing over to tools sitting on a shelf and the latter gets Max to grab them. "but, uh... it'll do."

"We're hotwiring idiots." Billy explains when everyone looks at the two guys in confusion, Eddie grabbing a random Halloween costume mask to put on to not get recognised. "Let's get a move on, we're losing light!" he hisses lowly, carefully setting (y/n) on the couch who had gone quiet as she struggled to keep her eyes open. "Princess, I need you to hold onto me ok. I know you're tired," Billy turns around, crouching down for his love to climb onto his back. "but we need to go."

"Ok..." (y/n) whispers, struggling to stay conscious and fighting against her mind to stay awake as she gets onto Billy's back and he easily picked her up, her arms looping around his neck as she laid her head on his shoulder. "Got your eye on one Munson?" he asks the man who peeks out the window and he nods, leading the group out of his trailer. They creep around the trailers, making sure to not get caught or get seen by anyone. He leads the group to a trailer van, finding an open window and crawling through it. Steve jumps in after, helping Billy take (y/n) in as he climbs through after and takes her in his arms when she completely passes out.

"(y/n)!" he gasps, gently trying to wake her up but fails in getting her eyes open again for him. Steve helped the kids into the trailer van before Nancy and Robin climbed through, Billy setting his love next to Max who moved her sister-in-law to lay her head on her lap.

"We'll look after her, go." Max urges and Billy goes to help Eddie as he locks the van door, the boys pulling out the main hatch of the van and hotwiring the car.

"I'm surprised you both know how to do this." Steve mutters as he watched Eddie and Billy do their work.

"Well, when the other dads were teaching their kids how to fish or play ball, my old man was teaching me how to hot-wire. Now, I swore to myself I wouldn't wind up like he did-"

"-look at you now Munson, really living up to that name." Billy snarks, the wires in his hands sparking up as Eddie had the pliers in his mouth to hotwire another set of wires.

"Eddie, I'm not sureI love the idea of you driving." Robin expresses a slight fear of hers.

"Oh, I'm just starting this sucker.Harrington's got her. Don't ya, big boy?" Eddie smiles, leaning up to Steve. Billy, Robin and Steve look at Eddie with mixed expressions of confusion.

"Might want to hide that mug face of yours, Munson." Billy says when Eddie manages to hotwire his pairs of wires, diving to hide in the back when Billy hotwires his wires and the car erupts to life. The group hears yelling and a couple bangs on the window to open the door. "Move it, Harrington!" Billy hisses and he jumps into the driver's seat. Steve yells out for everyone to hold onto something as the two metalheads move to the back couch, Billy holding onto (y/n) and Max protectively while Eddie headbangs in adrenaline when Steve quickly drives off with a stolen trailer van. Everyone was screaming at Steve, yelling at him to drive faster or safer since the van was swerving left and right to avoid destroying things before it finally got onto the road.

"We can't take the trailer right to your house Max!" Lucas suddenly says and everyone realises a slight flaw to their plan. "They're going to know we stole it!"

"That's why we're ditching the trailer a few meters away from where we parked our actual cars dumbass." Billy explains.

"Near Rick's place right?" Eddie asks and everyone nods. "Ok, that's coming up real soon. Let's hope the cops or Jason's gang aren't there anymore..." everyone sat in silence for a bit as Steve drove them through the forest, the kids watching Max hold onto (y/n) as she slept on her lap. Billy sighs with worry, watching his love's chest rise and fall and he knew that at least she was still alive and breathing but he didn't know if she was ok after somehow escaping Vecnas clutches.

"Here..." Dustin hands Billy (y/n)'s headphones that he had fixed, Max now wearing hers again as her brother fixed his girlfriend's headphones over her ears.

"Are you ok?" the girls ask Nancy who stayed silent before slowly shaking her head.

"No... there's something I need to tell all of you first." she says and the grownups suddenly notice the kids yawning tiredly as they lay back against the couch, realising how tired they must be from staying up all night.

"I think we all should get a quick power nap. Just for everyone's sanity." Robin suggests and everyone agrees.

"Ok, we're here!" Eddie quickly says, Steve stopping the van a few meters away from the actual cars like the plan and everyone gets out of the van. Billy moves to carry (y/n) on his back, the group walking back to their cars that were parked within the trees just next to the road. Eddie, Max, Billy and (y/n) got into Billy's car, the rest hopping into Nancy's as they drove off to Max's house. It was a quick drive to the house, everyone quickly getting inside and locking all the windows and doors before covering them up.

"I'm going to put her upstairs." Billy says, carrying (y/n) to their shared bedroom. "Max, get out the extra stuff." the redhead nods, heading to the closet to grab the extra pillows and blankets stored and passing them to the group before sneaking off to her mother's room. She carefully peeks inside to see her passed out with bottles of alcohol laying on the floor, a disappointed frown on her face before she closed her mother's bedroom door and headed downstairs. Max passed her brother's room and looked inside to see him sitting next to his love on the bed by her legs, him leaning over to kiss her forehead sweetly while whispering for her to wake up again. He brushes his fingers against (y/n)'s cheeks who hums softly as a small smile graces his lips when she leans into his touch.

"Billy..." Max mumbles out, a frown on her face to see how much he loves (y/n), him sighing before standing up to leave the bedroom and closing the door.

"Let's go shitheel." he ruffles his sister's hair, the two walking back down the stairs to see the group huddling close together either on the couches in the living room or on the floor.
