6. The Monster
I still didn't know where Nance had gone. One moment she was here the next she was gone. "Nancy! Nancy!" Jonathan shouted but no response.
"Nance!" I shouted but nothing, did that thing have her.
"Come on, come on. Nancy! Where are you?" Jonathan shouted out again.
"Nance! Where are you?" I shouted but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Nancy! Nancy!" Jonathan shouted for her. She was gone.
"Nance this isn't funny!" I shouted this needed to stop, she needed to come back.
"Jonathan, Y/n, I'm right here!" We heard her yell but she wasn't. We couldn't see her.
"Where are you?" Jonathan shouted, she had to be close. "We're right here!" He shouted.
"Johnathan! Y/n!" She shouted at us.
"We're right here! Nancy! Just follow our voices!" Jonathan shouted at her.
"Everything will be okay!" I shouted at her, wherever she was.
"Jonathan! Y/n!" She shouted, we didn't know how to even get to her.
"Follow our voice, Nancy, we're right here! Nancy! Nancy!" Johnathan shouted and we ran to a tree, there was an opening and it was squelching. It was un-describe-able . "Nancy? Nancy. Nancy! Follow my voice!" Johnathan shouted at her through the hole.
"Nancy! Your so close!" I shouted at her, she had to be.
"Nancy?" Johnathan asked and we saw a hand come out, we both fell back.
"Johnathan! Y/n!" She shouted, we had to get her out.
"Nancy!" We both shouted and pulled her out. When she was out she landed on Johnathan, we both hugged her as she sobbed in our arms. We watched the tree seal up.
"We should go home, it'll be safer." I said to them all and we came to an agreement before walking home. Once I got home I realized another car on the drive, it was Eddie's. He was here to see Hunter. Once I got home I went to shower before going to my room and changing. Eddie walked in, he stood in front of me.
"How are you Solace?" He asked me and I looked at him before shaking my head.
"Stressed, but I'm trying to keep up an act that I'm ok but it's hard." He said to me and he hugged me before looking around for my blanket to put over me.
"I can't imagine what it's like for you. With your Dad being held up in a cell until everything and then Hunter and trying to make sure he's ok. You've got a tough job." He said to me while looking at me, he was right.
"You couldn't have said it better. I can't wait for this to be over." I said to him with a smile and I heard him take something from his pocket.
"Take this, on the house, take your mind off everything." He said to me before handing me a bag of weed. I took it and looked at him.
"Are you sure?" I asked him with a smile, and he nodded before moving some of his locks out his face.
"Of course I'm sure." He said to me with a smile. I was glad at that.
"Eddie! It's your turn!" Hunter shouted from his room and we both laughed at that.
"I should go, your brother is so demanding." He said to me with a smile, once he left he closed my door behind him and I opened my window. I sat on the ledge and lit up my roll. Once my roll was done I led on my bed and just looked up at the ceiling. When the morning came I had someone knock on my window.
"We've figured something out." Nancy said to me after I opened my window up, she had Johnathan with her.
"Tell me on the way to wherever we're going." I said to them both and they nodded, I saw that Eddie's car was still here. I take it he was sleeping in Hunter's room. I didn't even know where we were going all I knew was these things get attracted to things by blood. Barb was taken because she cut herself. We were heading to a army surplus store. Picking things up before stumbling upon the bear traps. We got those as well. We were getting a lot. I did wonder what the clerk was going to think.
"And I'll have four boxes of the .38s." Johnathan said he got us the four boxes. The clerk looked at the stuff than at us.
"What you kids doin' with all this?" He asked us and we looked at each other.
"Uh." I got out. I didn't know what to say.
"Um..." Johnathan said and we both looked at Nancy.
"Monster hunting." She said to him and he looked at her. He wasn't taking us seriously.
"Huh." He got out before ringing us up, we then took everything to the car.
"'Monster hunting.'" Johnathan said to us both with a smile. He then opened the trunk.
"At least it's no a lie." I said to him before opening the trunk properly so that we could get everything in.
"You know, last week...I was shopping for a new top I thought people might like. It took me, Y/n and Barb all weekend. It seemed like life or death, you know?" Nancy asked him, I remembered that well.
"And last week, I was still trying to find my footing here after being new and I thought I'd never get into a crowd, you know?" I asked, everyone had they're groups and I was still new.
"And...and now- -" Nancy started before stopping.
"You're both shopping for bear traps with Johnathan Byers." He said to us, I didn't know why everyone looked down on Johnathan. He was a good guy.
"Yeah." Nance and I got out at the same time.
"What's the weirdest part? Me or the bear trap?" He asked and I had to think about everything.
"The trap. Definitely." I said to him with a smile, I'd never seen one in the metal before. And it was something that scared me a little.
"You. It's definitely you." Nancy said to him before we heard a car horn honk and I looked behind me.
"Hey, Y/n! Can't wait to see your movie." The guy said while driving past, I didn't even know who he was.
"Who was that?" I asked them both, what movie was he even talking about.
"What the hell was that?" Johnathan asked me and I looked at him and shook my head.
"I have no idea." I said to him and Nancy looked at me.
"Whatever it is I'm sure it's a joke." She said to me and she turned around to go somewhere. I followed her to the theatre.
"What? What? Hey! Where are you going?" He asked us and once I saw it, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Nancy, Y/n, wait!" He shouted at us.
"You've got to be kidding." I said before running across the road with Nance.
"Nancy! Y/n!" Johnathan said before I looked up and read the writing. 'All the right moves starting Y/n The Slut Solace.' What was all this about? Who would even write something like that.
"Jesus." Johnathan got out before Nancy hugged me. People around were looking. At who or what I didn't know. I then heard a spray can hiss along with Tommy laughing. Nancy and I started walking over there. "Wait!" Johnathan shouted. Like I would ever do that.
"Tommy, you write like a three-year-old." Carol said to him, I just shook my head and then I saw Steve. Did Steve do this because I slept with him?
"Shut up!" Tommy said to her and I shook my head.
"I didn't know you could spell." Nicole said and I walked over to them. They were laughing before Carol saw me.
"Aw, hey there, Princess!" Carol said and I had a look of anger on my face.
"Uh-oh! She looks upset." Tommy said as I walked straight over to Steve and slapped him so hard I was sure it would leave a mark.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked him through gritted teeth.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? I was worried about you. I can't believe that I was actually worried about you." He said to me, what was he even talking about.
"What are you talking about your going to need to elaborate." I said to him and he looked at me like I should know. I didn't know.
"I wouldn't lie if I were you. You don't want to be known as the lying slut now, do you?" Carol asked me and I saw Nancy appear at my side, Johnathan must've been behind.
"There's another one as well. Hi." Tommy said while jumping off his makeshift podium.
"You came by last night when Eddie was there? Didn't you." I said to him, that was nothing at all.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Does she get a prize?" Carol asked before Tommy put his arm around her.
"Look, whatever you saw it wasn't like that. He was there to see me brother, he only saw me there because I was home and upset." I said to him trying to make him see I hadn't done anything.
"What, you just let him into your room to...study?" Steve asked, I shook my head at him in disbelief. Disbelief because how could ever think of that.
"Or for one of those 'game' sessions?" Tommy asked and I looked at him, I would never participate in those.
"We were just- -" I started before he cut me off.
"You were just what? Finish that sentence. Finish the sentence." He said to me and I was caught of guard.
"I was getting some marijuana from him." I said to him but I could tell that he didn't believe me.
"Go to hell, Y/n." He said to me before walking away. Was it so hard to believe the truth.
"Come on, Y/n, let's just leave." Johnathan said before pulling me and Nancy back.
"You know what, Byers? I'm actually kind of impressed. I always took you for a queer, but I guess you're just a little screw-up like your father. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that house is full of screw-ups. You know, I guess I shouldn't really be surprised. A bunch of screw-ups in your family." Steve started trying to get a reaction out of him.
"Johnathan, leave it." Nancy said to him and I looked at him.
"Don't let him get to you." I said to him.
"I mean, your mom...I'm not even surprised what happened to your brother." Steve said that was the breaking point.
"Steve, shut up!" Nancy shouted at him. But he wouldn't listen.
"I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you, but the Byers, their family it's a disgrace to the entire- -" Steve started before he was cut off by Johnathan punching him. Steve only attacked back.
"Steve!" I got out but nothing. "Steve." I said again.
"Stop! Steve! Knock it off, you guys!" Nancy said but he still wasn't listening.
"Get off of him, seriously!" Carol shouted but neither of them were paying any attention.
"Kick his ass, man!" Tommy said as they continued to go at each other.
"Get off! Stop! Get in there he's going to hurt himself!" Carol said and Tommy got in the middle. Steve was clearly a loser in the fight.
"Easy, easy!" Tommy shouted at them both. "Hey. Hey! Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!" He added but they kept going.
"Johnathan, stop! Stop! You're going to hurt him! Johnathan, stop!" Nancy shouted, soon sirens were heard.
"Cops!" Tommy shouted,
"We need to go." I said to them all.
"Guys- -Johnathan, get off of him! Stop it!" Nancy shouted and Johnathan got one last punch in.
"Cops! Come on!" Tommy shouted at them all.
"Stop it! Come on!" Nance said but he wouldn't.
"Cops!" Tommy shouted again.
"You have to stop!" Nancy shouted at them, but they wouldn't.
"That's enough now!" I shouted at them but nothing.
"Just go, Carol!" Tommy shouted getting his lover out.
"Stop it!" Nancy said while trying to stop him.
"Hey, he's had enough, man! I said he's had enough!" Tommy said trying to pull Johnathan away but he just wouldn't stop.
"Kids! All right!" One of the officers said as he ran over.
"Stop it!" Nancy shouted at them both.
"Enough!" I shouted at them before Johnathan accidentally punched the officer.
"My nose!" He said as he hit the car.
"Calm him down!" The other one said, before they got Johnathan off and the others ran. They were slapping the bracelets on Johnathan.
"I got this one!" He shouted at his partner that was chasing Steve and Tommy. They took Johnathan to the station and Nancy went as well. I was going to go and try and make myself feel better, hitting the store and getting ice cream. I couldn't believe that's how Steve saw me when talking with another guy, his mind just took him somewhere else. I didn't even know what we were anymore. If he hated me for being honest about getting high or did he seriously think that I would do anything with anyone else. Once I got home I saw Hunter saw on the couch, mom was at work.
"Who's the ice cream for?" He asked me with a smile, he probably thought it was for him but it wasn't.
"It's for me. Things happened." I said to him and he looked at me, he looked sad.
"Did something happened between you and Steve? I knew I didn't like him." He said to me trying to make me feel a bit better. I walked over to him and ruffled his hair before going to the kitchen to get a spoon.
"You could say something happened. But nothing I can't come back from." I said to him before opening the tub, most of it had melted so it was mainly flavored milk now. Oh, what a shame.
