Joe Keery Imagines

Eddie's Sister-Steve Harrington

Hawkins has no idea who my brother is. They think he murdered Chrissy. They have no idea that he used to have the biggest crush on her when they first met. They think that stupid Hell's Fire Club was a satanic cult. They had no idea it was a way for Eddie to cope with everything that happened to us growing up.

They didn't know that Eddie was the one who raised me. He took me to school. He helped me with my homework. He hid with me in the closet when our parents started fighting. The town didn't know that Eddie held me when I cried after our mother left. They didn't know that Eddie was the one who protected me from our drunk father.

They didn't know that Eddie was the only one who truly loved me.

And now he was gone.

Throughout everything with Vecna, Eddie was constantly at my side. He fought off the demobats with me. He protected me every step of the way.

I looked around the room Eddie and I shared. Anyone else would think it was weird Eddie and I were sharing a room and I was worried it would be, but Eddie fixed the problem. He put up a sheet, separating the room so we could each have our privacy.

"Y/N?"

I looked up to see my uncle standing in the doorway. "There's someone here to see you."

"I don't want to see anyone, Uncle Wayne," I mumbled.

"Sweetheart," he sighed as he walked into the room and knelt in front of me. "Just come say hi."

"How many someones?"

"Just one," he chuckled. He leaned forward and kissed my forehead. He stood up and pulled me to my feet.

"Come on, kiddo," he whispered. "It's just that girl from the video store."

I sighed as I slowly stood up. I walked into the other room to see Robin standing there with her arms wrapped around herself.

"Hey," she smiled.

"Hi, Robin."

"How are you?"

I looked down at my feet and shrugged.

"You know," Robin hesitated, "we're all really worried about you, Y/N."

"Robin. . ."

"And I know that you're going through a lot but we're here for you," Robin started to ramble. "These past few days have been rough. Like horribly rough. And I just don't want you to think you're alone. You may be new to the group, but you're still part of it. You're still one of us."

"Robin," I cut her off.

"I'm rambling, aren't I?" She sighed. "I'm sorry, Y/N."

"It's okay," I chuckled. "But thanks, Robin."

The second I walked into the school gym, all eyes fell on me. Every eye was filled with hatred. I wrapped my arms around myself and walked over to the main desk.

"Is there anything I can do to. . ."

"I think you and your brother have done enough to this town," the woman holding the clipboard cut me off. She scowled at me before glancing down at her clipboard.

"Go organize the food pile," she mumbled. "And don't talk to anyone. Or they'll. . ."

"Or they'll what?!" I cut her off. Everyone looked at me but I didn't care. "What could anyone in this damn town do to me that's worse than me losing my brother? You all think he was some freak! Have you looked in the mirror lately?"
