“I can’t be that bad,” Max insisted, her hands still ten-and-two on the steering wheel. The tree was a few yards away and Eleven stood with her arm still stretched forward. Steve sat next to Max in the front seat pale-faced and sweating. Dustin, Mike and Lucas squished with you in the backseat.

“You’re that bad,” Dustin responded. Max frowned and slumped back into the seat. You nudged Dustin with your elbow. “But i’m sure Mike will be worse.”

“What ma-“

Steve cut him off. “Comments from the peanut gallery are not needed.”

“Let’s just do this individually,” you began ushering the three out of Steve’s car before any arguments. “Steve has been nice enough to teach you guys without your parents knowing.”

“Which is worse, dying in a car or out of a car?” Dustin asked.

“Shut up!” Lucas hissed. The three clambered out of the backseat and trudged over to stand with El and Will.

“Come on, guys!” You called out as Lucas shut the door.

Max hung her head. “I’m done, I don’t want to learn anymore.”

“You’re doing great. Steve ran over my bike when he first started driving. Can you imagine how mad Hopper was?” Max smiled and looked up. You rested your hands on the back of her seat. The hot leather stuck to your skin.

“Bumps or scratches add character. Besides, Y/N isn’t president of the engineering club because of their looks.” Steve glanced in your direction and you smiled. He reached out and grabbed your hand. “Now put the car in first again, take your foot off the brake and slowly let out the clutch.”

The engine rumbled and Max jumped. “Wrong one,” she mumbled. Despite Steve’s undeniable love for his car, it surprised you how forgiving and patient he was being. You enjoyed watching him guide Max through the motions. Your mind would wander toward the potential future you shared. You and Steve were middle school sweethearts - if you could get through that, you could get through teaching a secret driving class.

The car inched forward down the dirt road. Max white-knuckled the steering wheel. “You got it, you got it!” Steve encouraged. He continued to hold your hand and admiration flushed over you. The tree clearing neared and puffs of dirt rose from the road. “Just watch out for that—“

The log scraped the undercarriage and Steve’s eye blew wide. Max slammed on the brake and the car shuttered to a stop. She put the car in park and stumbled into the settling dust. The wedged log was between the tire and the inner wheel well. The right headlight casing was shattered.

“I’m so sorry,” she said and looked down at the scattered plastic. Steve pulled the keys and stepped out.

Dustin cheered and trotted over to the scene. “That was awesome!”

“I came up with an excuse for being gone but I didn’t think of one explaining car damage.” Steve pulled you towards his chest and held you tight. “You can fix it, right?” He whispered.

You nodded. “It’ll still be drivable, just take the log out. I think lessons are over for today.” You turned and scanned over the group walking toward the scene. “Now who’s ready for a field trip to the automotive store?” The tone in your voice feigned excitement.

Steve smiled. He shot you a wink and dangled the keys. “I’ll drive.”

Please, keep looking. Not for a person, but for your passion, your love, your courage, your goals, your dreams, your happiness, yourself. Keep looking. Explore yourself before you explore another. Know your worth, know yourself. Only then will you know what you need over what you want. You need yourself to become your own.
