  "What the hell?" Erica shrieked.  "It's okay. Just get a napkin out of the glove compartment, okay" Y/n said. Erica did as she was told, quickly. "What's going on with you?" Erica asked. "I've been having headaches and nosebleeds lately," Y/n responded. Y/n wiped the blood from her nose. Y/n pulled the hand sanitizer from her pocket and squirted it into her hand. "Do you still have feelings for Steve?," Erica asked. "Erica seriously, it's been like 5 years" Y/n responded. "Oh. Can we get ice cream now?" Erica asked. "Oh yeah. Let's go" Y/n said.

  Y/n woke up in a dark void. She could see certain furniture floating towards the ceiling. Obviously she was terrified, but she walked forward. She wished she hadn't. As soon as she walked forward about 10 feet, she looked up at the ceiling. There was a girl in a Hawkins cheerleading uniform. She was almost stuck to the ceiling. Her mouth was agape and her eyes were missing. Y/n screamed in horror and ran away from the girl. "Y/n,"  a deep guttural voice taunted. Suddenly, Y/n fell out of the void and hit a hard cold floor. She stood up slowly. She was in a long hallway. The walls were off white and looked like tile. She began to walk down the hallway. The lights flickered and she heard screams. As she walked further down the hallway, she turned her attention to a room. There was blood on the walls and floor.

   Even worse, there were kids littered around the room. She looked down at her clothes which were also covered in blood. "Y/n. Why didn't you take me with you?" She heard a young boy say. She quickly turned around, horrified. "010?" She stuttered out. "You could've taken me with you," 010 said. "I'm.. I'm so sorry. I didn't know this would happen" She said, tears running down her cheeks. "You wanted this to happen. So, that you could live a normal life" 010 taunted. Y/n ran past him and ran towards a door that read 'exit'. She sprinted and opened the door. She wasn't in Hawkins lab anymore. She was in a house. She spotted the front door and attempted to open it. To her shock and horror, it was boarded up. She began to breathe very rapidly. "Y/n" the same guttural voice called out. "You can't escape me. You are trapped" the voice said. "No, no" Y/n panicked. "This is all your fault" the voice taunted. Y/n knew she had to do something and it had to be fast. She saw a staircase and ran faster than she ever had in her entire life.

   Unfortunately, there was a thing at the top of the stairs. It walked down the stairs: bones cracking sickeningly. She was paralyzed. Not with fear, but couldn't move. As soon as it was face to face with her, she was back in her bed. It was 6:00 am. She quickly ran to the kitchen and grabbed her pills. She took two out of the bottle and filled up a glass of water. She took them and decided to get ready earlier. She ran to the bathroom and started her day. When she got out of the shower, she picked out her outfit. She chose a blue sweater, a white skirt, and white tights. She picked out her favorite pair of black high heels and got dressed. She did her makeup pristinely. She wanted to make a great impression of herself to the manager.

   It was only 7:45, she had some time. Even though she was worried about getting the job, she couldn't think about anything else but the dream. It was the worst nightmare she had in years. She sat down on the couch and turned on the television. The news was on. "Breaking news. Police have found the body of a Hawkins High School student. Christine Cunningham was found dead in Forest Hills Trailer Park at 5:00 am this morning. When they showed her picture, Y/n realized the dream wasn't really a dream. It was a warning. She turned off the tv, grabbed her keys and purse, and left her apartment. She walked to her car and started it. She turned on the radio  and to her surprise, one of her favorite songs was on. (Head over hills)

As she pulled into Family Video, she took a deep breath. She grabbed her paperwork and walked inside. To her dismay, none other than Steve was standing there. He looked down at some of the tapes. "Hello, welcome to Family Video-"Steve cut himself off. His face turned sad. "Uh. You look really pretty, ''he said under his breath. Luckily Y/n didn't hear him. "I didn't know you worked here",She quietly said to him. "Ms. Sinclair? Are you here for your interview?" The manager asked with head peaked around the corner. "Yes. I am ready" She said as she looked Steve in his eyes and walked away. Y/n didn't hate Steve. She didn't even dislike him. She knew she still had feelings for him. Deep down inside, she knew she wanted to be Nancy Wheeler's position. She denied still having feelings for Steve. Every time she saw them kissing in the hallways, she wished that was her.
