Mother Cut

My girl has her hand up my shirt. I smile.

Nothing does it quite like a mother cut.

In these dreams it's always you: the boy in the sweatshirt, the boy on the bridge, the boy who always keeps me from jumping off the bridge. Oh, the things we invent when we are scared and want to be rescued.
I Had A Dream About You, Richard Siken.

Everyone asks the same question.

Was Steve Harrington's teenhood stolen or did he let it slip away because he wasn't thinking with his head?

Really it's up to you and what you think happened in his high school years. (Personally, I'd say it's years of failure.) While he is King Steve, he's not the perfect boy next door every girl believes him to be.

Steve Harrington was (is) a fucking mess. And it wasn't his fault (So they say).

It was all a brunette with crazy cheek bones and smokey lips and an ashy heart. Lowen Odette was Steve Harrington's worst walking nightmare, and he coated it with love. (He fucking loved her.) (First love type of shit.)

And it was all definitely full of love when she left a baby on his doorstep. So, yeah, we're Steve's teen years stolen.. or kicked away by his own actions?

Jen Leadison is convinced he kicked them away, but that could be because she hates his fucking guts. (Not really. She's trying to convince herself she hates him. But what girl at Hawkins could ever hate Steve Harrington? They all wanted him! Maybe she was just another Steve?)

Their mothers would definitely say something different. (Mother cutting!)
