I could tell dad was talking towards us. I knew he was coming to wake El up knowing I would be awake since I am always up early.

"Rise and shine. (He pauses) So that's it, huh? You're still not talking? All right. I guess I'm just gonna have to, uh... enjoy this triple-decker Eggo extravaganza on my own." Dad starts. El's eyes widen] [cut to El and Hopper at the table, Hopper is cutting the "triple-decker Eggo extravaganza" in half.

"[grunts happily as he licks the knife] Mmm! Mmm! Good, right? Know the great thing about it? It's only 8,000 calories. [sniffles] You visited them again last night?" Dad asked.

"He says he needs me." El answers dad looks at me,

"Well Lucas didn't say that but Erica misses me his mum isn't making my favourite breakfast for them knowing they will be upset." I answered.

"Want me to go check on them? [we shake our heads] I know that you miss them, all right? But it's too dangerous. You're the last thing they needs right now. You're gonna see them. Soon. And not just in that head of yours. You're gonna see him in real life. I feel like I'm making progress with these people." Dad tries.

"Friends don't lie." I say looking at him.

"What?" Dad asked.

"You say "soon" on day 21. You say "soon" on day 205. You now say "soon" on day 326? –" Me and El try's.

"What is this? You're counting the days now like you're some kind of prisoner?" Dad asked.

"When is "soon"?" El asked.

""Soon" is when... it's not dangerous anymore." Dad answered,

"When?" I decide to ask.

"I don't know." He answers.

"On day 500?" El asked.

"I don't know." Dad answered.

"On day 600?" I asked again.

"I don't know." He answers.

"Day 700? On day 800?" Me and El ask together.

"No!" He answers.

"We need to see them." I state.

"I said I-" Dad tries.

"Tell us!" I yell. I fling the plate I was using with my powers and it gets all over his uniform.

"Oh! Shit! Shit!" Dad panics.

"Friends don't lie!" Me and El yell we storm off to our room and El slams the door with her powers. I heard dad kicks the table in anger.

I put the blindfold on hoping to see Jonathan this time. I tune into where he was. I saw him in a cupboard in the high school with a walkie talkie he borrowed of Will to hopefully get to me.

"It's day 356 Alex. I miss you so much. So does everyone really. Nancy isn't what she used to be without you here. Even Steve Herrington was affected even though you both never met. We have a new kid called Billy Hargrrove. Heard he had a little sister your age. He is messing around with Steve. I know that has nothing to do with you but I knew how much you disliked Steve so I thought if you could hear me that might cheer you up. Mom has been down since you left us. But hey she got someone better then Larry his name is Bob. He is alright but he has no clue who you are whenever your mentioned at the dinner table and he is there. I still have that picture I took of you and Will on his 5th birthday. You both looked so young and so cute and innocent to what was happening in 7 or so years." Jonathan said I didn't hear the rest because I pulled the blindfold off and I saw El leaving so I raced after her.
