Everything is going to be ok (JOPPER)

Forever

Hopper was on the road to Joyce's house, he left himself untoxicated when he left to have full composur over himself. He had been contemplating turning around and forgetting everything that Murray said about her liking him back, ignoring that there could be a chance of satisfaction for him. Everything else in his life was picture pefect, just how he wanted it except having her. Holding her in the way that he wishes he could. He just wants relief from this gut wrenching pain that they are never going to happen to go away.

Again, tempted to turn around and never find out the truth about how she feels about him but he's already so close to her house so theres no point in giving up now. He doesn't want to end up like Lonnie, a junkie and a drunk who leaves Joyce with kids he can't take care of, a guy who hurts people mentally and physically because he was "in a bad mood". Jim beleives that Isabell deserves parents that love each other. That is part of his goal, to love Joyce no matter what. And that he will never hurt her.

Just thinking about how Lonnie treated her makes him heat up with anger and aggression. He remembers when she showed him one of her scars on her arm, she had told him that Lonnie threw a glass cup near her and it shattered and cut her arm open. She also showed him a dent in the wall from where he punched it. Oh how Hopper wishes he can go back a teach lonnie a lesson, Or go back and make him nonexistant in her life. Then he remembers all the good times they had together. Times when he would be so head over heals for her that he couldn't speak, just stare. She makes Jim feel so happy to the point of no sadness left in his body in the moments they have together.

As he approaches her front door step, he is nervous of course, he has mentally prepared himself for rejection but that is way over him at this point.

He knocks slowly and waits patiently for an answer

Joyce had just finnaly put Isabell to bed when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and is met by a familiar face and even when she's mad at him he still makes her so happy just by their eyes meeting.

"Hey, where were you? I tried to reach you all day". She let him in and then closed the door behind him

"Yeah sorry, I was a Murrays for a while and I need to talk to you" He said quickly, trying to get to the point as quickly as he can

She walked over to the couch an gestured him to sit next to her, she could tell that there was something wrong with him or at least bothering him and it worried her. "Murray? I haven't talked to him in so long, how is he?"

He walks over and sits next to her. "He's good. I told him that you had Isabell and he was suprised, and then I told him that I was the father and he was so shocked, it was funny as hell." He chuckled to make him feel better.

She scooted closer to him in search of warmth and comfort that she's been dreading all day. He got the hint quckly and wrapped his arm around her as she hugged close to him. He was warm, but his heart was racing. "Why did you have to go to Murrays for anyway?"

"Actually, thats what I wanted to talk to you about. His smile faded which threw joyce off. She hated to see him unhappy, she alwasy does everything in her power to make him feel better and somehow she does. One look from her can brighten his day and then he'd be thinking about that smile for the rest of his day and everything else that she did.

She sits up from him and takes his hand in hers. Jim loved her hands, so delacate and soft, always handles things with care so he loves to hold hers.

"Talk to me what's going on?" Her soft voice calmed him a bit

He takes a deep breath, wondering how he wants to word whatever hes going to say. He doesn't want to scare her or make her feel pressured into making her feel something for him if she doesn't already.

Her heart starts beating fast and starts to feel as if there is a whole in her stomach. Her mind is wondering into tragic places that she doesn't want to think about the possability of.

Hopper is having trouble trying to say anything. "It's okay Hop, take yout time". She reasures him while rubing his forearm with her other hand whist still holding his hand.

"Okay well, I'm not sure how im going to say this." He travels back to the night she came over and thought of a starting point. "So when you came over that one time, when we...ya know. You were crying and it was like two or three in the morning."

She nods her head

"Why did you come over that night, surely it couldn't have been your intent to come over and have sex right? His voice was shaky and she could hear him almost break

As she stares into his eyes that shes loved since highschool, and hearing that question pop out. She knew that maybe its time to finnaly get out what she wanted to say that night. "No thats not what I wanted, at least not so quickly." Her eyes furrow while trying to find the right words. "I wanted to come over to talk to you about...Us".

HIs eyes widened "What about us?"

"Well I had feelings for you and I realy wanted to tell you, even if you didn't feel the same." She blurted out, relief left her body and was replaced with embarrassment and regret. She removes her hand from his and turns her body away from him. An overwehelming feeling of anxiety ran throug her body faster than the blood in her veins.

He didn't know how to respond other than comforting her, thats all he could do right now. He rubs his hand on her back. "Hey its okay. Do you still feel that way?" He askes softly and quietly

She lookes up at him, not saying anthing, barely giving him a look. But somehow he knew what she ment. He moved his hand to her cheek which was so red and hot. He eventualy closes the space between them with a light and simple kiss on the lips. She kissed him back. The moment ended after a few seconds.

"Please tell me I didn't just fuck up". He chuckled and she joined him, making him feel better.

The warm smile on her face told him that he was okay, and that he didn't mess up. In fact that warm smile told him the they were going to be okay. "No you didn't fuck up at all, I liked it. And I do still feel that way about you.".

His hand moved to the back of her neck while he moved his other hand on her leg. He couldn't stop smiling. "Good, because I do too, I never stopped. Joyce you are the best thing that has happend to me since El, and I wish that I had made a move on you earlier but something always got in the way like boyfriends, or work, or something was happening and I didn't want to put more on you. Thank you for everything."

Her heart warmed and felt even more loved than she already felt. She was so stunned by him and what he was doing, she didn't know what to say. She reached her hand up to his neck and pulled him to her lips. It was a sudden move which took him of guard but he absolutely loved it.

The had been kissing for a while when she pulled away. "I want this to work, I don't want to do this if its not going to work."

He looks at her deeply and says. "We are going to make this work, I promise. It's okay if we fight because thats just what happens, we will work it out and move on. You can't possibly do anything that will get me completely mad at you." He talks soft and light

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Jim?"

"Yes?"

"No one has ever loved anyone as much as I love you" His heart melted and he smiled again. his cheeks turned red and his hands were hot.

"Well guess what...I love you more"

They kissed again and headed to bed, life couldn't have been any better at this moment. Their bodies were filled with excitement, wanting to see what they have planed for eachother in the future.

And as they kiss each other goodnight they knew that this was going to be forever.
