Fate
"The ceiling stopped spinning for me. Is it still spinning for you?" Steve asked me. I looked up.
"Holy shit. No." I rubbed my eyes.
"You think we puked it all up?"
"Maybe. Ask me something. Interrogate me." I mocked the russians voice.
"Okay." Steve chuckles. " Interrogate you. Sure. Um When was the last time you, uh, peed your pants?"
"A few days ago." I said as looked at the wall.
"What?"
"When the elevator dropped."
"Oh, my God." We laughed.
"It was just a little bit, though."
"Yeah, it's definitely still in her system."
"Oh - All right, my turn." I said as i pulled myself up from the floor.
"Okay. Hit me."
"Have you ever been in love?" I asked.
"Yep. Nancy Wheeler. First semester, senior year." I made a small smile. Steve imitated a gunshot and laughs.
"Are you still in love with Nancy?" I asked again.
"No."
"Why not?"
"I think it's because I found someone who's a little bit better for me." He chuckled. "It's crazy. Ever since Dustin got home, he's been saying, "You know, you gotta find your Suzie. You gotta find your Suzie. To be honest with you, I'm not 100% sure she's even real. But that's not that's not really the point. That doesn't matter. The point is, this girl, you know, the one that I like, it's somebody that I had a great time with. I mean, Dustin's right, it's all just a bunch of bullshit anyways. Because, when I think about it, I should've been hanging out with this girl the whole time. First of all, she's hilarious. She's so funny. I feel like, last year, I have laughed harder than I have laughed in a really long time. And she's smart. Way smarter than me. You know, she can play guitar, like, really good. You know? She's honestly unlike anyone I've ever even met before." I didnt say anything. He was describing me. I pulled my knees to my chest. I silently banged my head on my knees. "Wendy?" He tapped on the wall between us. "Wendy, did you just OD in there?" I started to cry.
"No." I sniffed and sighed. "I am still alive." I saw him come from under and into my stall. We both looked at each other. "The floor's disgusting."
"Yeah, well, I already got a bunch of blood and puke on my shirt, so What do you think?"
"About?"
"This girl." I closed my eyes.
"She sounds awesome."
"She is awesome. And what about the guy?"
"I think he's on drugs, and he's not thinking straight." I whispered.
"Really? 'Cause I think he's thinking a lot more clearly than usual."
"He's not. That girl broke his heart. Steve, the real reason why I backed up from the kiss was because I was scared to love you, i dont know how to love you since im new to it." I finally told him.
"No, that's not true,you didn't break my heart." He shook his head. "So what? We can learn on the way."
"Listen to me, Steve. I like you. Every time i see you, I want to be with you but deep down i know I'm going to mess up everything we have. I'm a screwup. And I'm not like Nancy." I said as I looked at him.
"Wendy, that's exactly why I like you."
"I've been in so much pain in my life, i just didn't want you to feel it either."
"Thats the point. Whatever you go through, I'll go through it with you." I shyly smiled.
"After hanging out with you, you changed me. I fell for you for that. Sneaking out in the middle of the night, going to prom, going out to eat, watch movies even though you hate them." I cried. Steve wiped my tears away with his finger. "You made me feel like im the only girl in the world. I haven't felt in a very very long time. When I talked about it to my aunt, and thought about it, i made the hugest mistake ever. I want to be with you Steve." I confessed.
"And i want to be with you Wendy. So-" he held my hand and sat next to me. "If we dont die, we can have that kiss?"
"You certainly can. Maybe not now? I can still taste vomit." We both laughed.
"I wouldn't care." I rolled my eyes.
"You're disgusting Harrington."
"I mean you are now dating a idiot. So does the girl feel sorry for dating me?" I remembered. The day that we went to the junkyard, trying to get Dart, hearing Steve's dating advice, i told him, that I would feel sorry for the next girl that would date him.
"No, no i dont." I shook my head.
"Good. Lets say, after this, I'm going to show you off."
"You do that."
"What are we going to say to the kids?" I sighed.
"You mean, what are you going to say to the kids." I poked his chest.
"Dustin is going to crushed."
"Not the girls." As i referred to Max and El. "They have been waiting for this moment."
"We make really good babysitters."
"That we do."
"I guess i found my Suzie." He held my hand.
"I guess i found my Dustin." I held his.
"You know, that song, We Belong by Pat, when we drove to the car. I think it was fate."
"Oh really now?"
"We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under." Steve started to sing horribly. I laughed.
"Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better!" I singed along.
"We belong, we belong, we belong together!" We sang to the top of our lungs. The door bursts open, reviling Robin, Erica and Dustin.
"What the hell?" Dustin said as he was out of breath. Steve and I looked at each other and started to laugh.
"we can hear you guys singing from the damn theater." Erica told us.
"Lets go, we got to leave now." Steve went out and I stayed with Robin.
"I did it." She gave me a confused look. "I finally said I love him." I smiled. Robin smiled back.
"About damn time Byers." She patted my back. We walked out. We came out to see a lot of people coming out of the theater. Steve held my hand as we walked into the crowd.
"And blend." Dustin said. We walked normally and hopefully no Russians see us.
"Well, shit, that worked." Steve said.
"Course it worked. We just have to get on the bus with the rest of these plebes, and home sweet home, here we come." Dustin whispers.
"Uh, Dustin?"
"What?" He said without turning back to Steve.
"Yeah, we might not wanna go to your house."
"Why?"
"Well, I might've told them your full name." Steve confessed.
"What is wrong with you?" He whispers into a yell.
"Dude, I was drugged."
"So?"
"So?" Steve sounded offended.
"So, you resist. You tough it out. You tough it out like a man."
"Oh, yeah, it's easy for you to say."
"Guys?" Erica pointed at the Russians. My eyes widen.
"Abort." We all turned back. "Abort. Abort." We saw them running after us. We went to the escalators, which were not working.
"Shit." I whispered under my breath.
"Okay." Robin said as she slid down. We all followed her. Since the russians were right behind us, we hid behind a countertop. Trying not to make any noise. I held Steve hand as hard as I can, i mean they have guns! I covered my mouth with my free hand. We waited and stayed still. Until one of us hit something. Thats it, im dead, we're dead. I jumped to the sound of a car alarm and seconds later, a crash. We all peeked and saw El and the rest of party.
"Wendy!" Will yells as he ran to my arms. We all ran to each other.
"Will! Jonathan!" I hugged them. I looked at them. Checking if they had scratches or cuts. "Are you okay? Nothing happened to you guys?" I put my hands on their faces.
"Im okay." Jonathan said. "We're okay." He looked at me. "But are you okay?" He saw my bruises and cuts.
"Long story, what matters is that you guys are okay."
"Wendy." I saw the girls. They came running to me.
"You guys okay?" They nodded. I smiled at El. I wiped her bloody nose with my shirt. We went to the rest of the group.
"What are you doing here?" Lucas asked his little sister, Erica.
"Ask them." She pointed at us. "It's their fault."
"True, yeah. Totally true." Steve nodded.
"It's absolutely our fault." I said.
"I don't understand what happened to that car." Robin said as she pointed at the car.
"El has superpowers." Dustin told her.
"I'm sorry?" She asked.
"Superpowers. She threw it with her mind." Steve said. "C'mon, catch up."
"That's El?" Erica pointed at her.
"Who's El?" Robin asked.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Nancy asked Robin.
"I'm Robin." She pointed to herself. "I work with Steve."
"She cracked the top secret code."
"Yeah, which is how we found out about the Russians." I said.
"Russians?" Everyone said.
"Wait, what Russians?"
"The Russians!" The five of us yelled at them.
"Those were Russians?" Jonathan pointed at the now dead russians.
"Some of them."
"What are you talking about?" Lucas asked with confusion.
"Didn't you hear our code red?" Dustin asked.
"Yeah." Mile nodded. "Couldn't understand what you were saying."
"Goddamn low battery." He yelled.
"How many times do I have to tell you with the low battery?" Steve claps his hands.
"Well, everything worked out, didn't it?"
"Worked out? We almost died." I yelled.
"Yeah, but we didn't, did we?" He sassed me back.
"It was pretty damn close."
"Okay, Russians? As in, they're working for the Russian government?" Lucas asked.
"What are you not comprehending? Am I not speaking English? We have a full-blown Red Dawn situation."
"So this has nothing to do with the gate?" Max said.
"It has everything to do with the gate." We turned to hear whimpers. We looked to see El, plopped to the ground. We all ran to her.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. El! El!" Mike ran to her. El started to cry.
"What's wrong with her?" Erica asked.
"What's wrong?"
"My leg. My leg." She cried out.
"Her leg, her leg." I tear her pants and saw that her leg was bloody was moving.
"Okay." I huffed. El started to pant. "Wait here!" I ran to a restaurant and started to look for thing to cut up her leg open. I got gloves, a wooden spoon and I knife I set on fire. I ran back to the crew. "Here, bit on this." Everyone looked at me. I gave her the wooden spoon. I put on the gloves. I sighed as I was going to cut her leg. "Okay." I cut her leg open. Everyone started to gag and groan. I put my fingers in her leg, i wanted to throw up again, i just wanted to get whatever it was in her leg, out. El screamed and screamed.
"Stop! Stop!" she screams. I backed up. Steve wrapped his arms around me. El used her powers to get the thing out of her. She scream so loud that the glass from the stores shattered. She screamed and got what looked like a worm out of her leg. She threw it to the side. We looked up, we saw Hopper, aunt Joyce and a bald guy.
