Summary
Then:
“What do you tell all these girls to get them to go out with you?” Steve asked as he dropped his cigarette and ground it under his heel.
Billy’s grin was sharp and easy. “Meet me behind the mall,” he said, and for a second, Steve thought that Billy was saying it to him.
Now:
“And you miss him,” Dustin added, his voice sounding even farther away. Steve kept his eyes closed and listened to Dustin sigh.“No I don’t,” Steve said. “I don’t miss him. I’m fine.”
(Then: March, April, May, and June, Steve and Billy meet behind the mall. Now: summer, fall, winter, and spring after the mall. Steve grapples with what he's lost and what comes back).

Summary
Steve misses Billy the most on Sunday afternoons when the sun through his windows makes his room feel hot.
Billy had said they could leave together. Billy had wanted them to leave together. Steve had said no because maybe he chased it by staying here, where it all happened, where Billy died and came back to life and they shared a beer in the back of an ambulance driving away from the mall.

Summary
When Steve gets outside, Billy’s up against the bricks at the far end of the bar. His lip is split and his nose is bleeding, and he’s going to have one hell of a black eye, Steve thinks. Billy’s got an arm curled around his ribs, too, and Steve knows enough about the way that Billy looks when he’s hurting to know that means he’s hurting bad.
~
Back in Hawkins for the first time since they broke up, Steve's drawn to trouble in two ways. The first way has to do with monsters. The second way has to do with Billy Hargrove.

Summary
Steve wakes up--in a pool lounger--to Billy Hargrove looming over him. Billy pushes his sunglasses down and Steve thinks sleepily that it must be so that Steve gets the full impact of Billy’s narrow-eyed glare. “Harrington,” Billy says. “We’re fucking closed.”
(or, three times Billy doesn't let Steve touch the radio and one time he kind of does).

Summary
“What’s under your arm?” An unknown guy with a truly offensive haircut pointed to the thing Steve held tucked against his side. Steve barely kept a grin from splitting his face as he drew out the long, thin black box and set it on his lap.
He’d been waiting for this moment. For someone to ask, for someone to open the gate. He smirked and ran a hand through his hair – the hair – and said: “It’s a Ouija board.”
It's Halloween 1985, and Steve Harrington is determined to bring Billy back... No matter what the cost.
