    Summary

    Running away is easy.
    Especially from Demogorgons.
    Running away from yourself is harder.
    And running away from your feelings is impossible.
    Especially when they involve Robin Buckley.

    ✦••──────────•• ✧ ••──────────••✦

    Nick Harrington ran because staying stopped being an option.

    Home stopped being safe the moment she realized who she was and who she wasn't allowed to be. Running was easier than explaining. Easier than asking for permission to exist. Easier than staying still long enough to be questioned.

    So she runs to the only person who might accept her.
    Her cousin, Steve.

    Unfortunately, Hawkins is ground zero for interdimensional horror.

    Dragged into the Upside Down mess she never asked for, Nick discovers that fear is familiar territory. She's good at surviving. Good at escaping. Good at running from monsters with teeth and claws and too many legs.

    What she wasn't prepared for was Robin Buckley.
