Only For You - Steve Harrington

Chapter 16

"where's Steve?" Nicole asked, noticing him missing in the conversation.

They turn around seeing him standing by the pony ride, with his hand in his pocket.

"Hey Steve." Robin yells. "What are you doing?" She asks.

"uh it's a quarter I need- do you have a quarter?" Steve asks. They walk up to where Steve is.

"Sure you're tall enough for that ride?" Robin asks.
Quarter!" Steve yelled.

Robin threw him one and he slid it in the coin slot. Music began playing slowly.

"Good things there's not a hight limit." Robin joked.

"His hair would help him reach it." Nicole laughed, getting quickly shushed by Steve.

"Would you just shut up and listen?" he says.

The music continued playing while the group stared at it.

"Holy shit." Dustin said. "The music!" He took off his bag and pulled out the recording of the Russian transmission.

"I don't understand." Robin says.

"It's the exact same song on the recording!" Dustin explains.

"Maybe they have horses like this in Russia." Robin points out.

"Indiana flyer? I don't.... I don't think so. This code... didn't come from Russia. It came from here." Steve says.

"The Russians are in hawkins?" Nicole questioned.

"What the hell is in Hawkins that they could want?" Robin asked. The three other teens looked at each other. They new exactly what they could possibly be here for.

"We are in deep shit." Nicole mumbled.

The group headed outside, piling into Steve's car, and him dropping them off at their houses.

Robin was first, then Dustin, finally Nicole rode with Steve heading to her house.

"How is Max doing?" Steve asks Nicole.

"She's doing good. Her and Lucas broke up." Nicole says.

"Really? Why this time?" Steve asked.

"He lied to her about where he was. She hates people lying." Nicole shrugs.

"Huh. Well hopefully they get back together, I think they're good for each other." Steve sighs.

"Yeah." Nicole mumbles.

His car pulls onto the road, he parks on the curb, unlocking the doors.

"Thank you for driving me home." She says grabbing her purse.

"No problem. Have a good night." Steve says, awkwardly.

"Thanks, you too." She says, closing the door and walking inside.

Where the hell is everybody?" Nicole asked, looking around finding all of the lights off, and the rooms deserted.

It was completely empty. She knew her dad and Susan were going on a vacation, but Billy? Max? Who knows.

"Guess that means I get to watch tv in the living room!" She cheered, grabbing blankets and piling them on the couch before grabbing some cookies and setting them on the table. She sat down and got comfy, but suddenly got the urge to pee, sighing she got up and went to the bathroom.

Looking in the bathtub she saw half melted ice.
"What in the world?" She asked, walking towards it.

She assumed it was some crap for Billy's muscle workout, but she couldn't help but worry.
After going to the bathroom she turned on the tv, watching The Wonder Woman show. Soon she fell asleep, but she still felt uneasy about the Russians, and the random ice in the tub. But what did she know? It's probably nothing.
