SOLAR ECLIPSE - stranger things

-010-

Luna walked with Lucas and Dustin.

The group had decided to go to the middle school after Dustin's call with Mr Clarke. Dustin was slowly rolling the Byer's kiddy pool into the gym of the school. 

Feeling bad for the boy Luna leans down and just picks up the pool.

"You could have done that the whole time?" Lucas asked frustrated.

"I thought Dustin would want to feel like he's helping"

"Hey!" Dustin yelled. 

Luckily Lucas and Luna had already started setting up the pool, so no argument could start. As they started to fill the pool with water Luna decided to check on eleven.

She entered the room eleven was in just as Joyce was leaving. 

"Luna I just want to say thank you for everything you've done. Just being there for Jonathan... I just- thank you" Joyces stated, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder.

 Luna shrugged "I promised Jonathan I would help him with anything, I was just keeping my word" Joyce didn't respond, just gave the teen a hug.

Eleven looked up at Luna as she entered the room. "We got the pool out, so just got to fill it up" Luna attempted to make small talk, which she wasn't very good at.

Eleven just tilted her head, confused by the older girl. 

"Look... you're going to be alright. There's nothing to be worried about. It's ok".

"It's ok" Eleven repeated, trying to convince herself. 

"You found yourself a good group of friends, those kids are great" 

 There was silence between the two, neither were very talkative people. 

Saving them from the silence Jame popped his head into the room. 

"Everything is ready for you" Micheal stated, looking awkwardly at the girl he hadn't even officially met. 

Eleven grabbed her goggles and headed to the pool.

As Luna exited Micheal brought her into a sidewards hug. "What have we gotten ourselves into?"

Everyone watched as eleven lay down in the water of the pool. 

Luna sat between Hopper and James, who both seemed protective of her, especially when the lights started flickering.

Suddenly Eleven started screaming "Gone, Gone" Almost instantly Luna grabbed her hand.

It was something her mother had always done, for the little time she was around, hold her hand while she was stressed. Luna was someone who couldn't properly show her emotions, especially deeper ones, so her way of comfort was just a simple hand hold.

Soon Joyce joined her, speaking calming words to the girl in the water. "Will" Everyone looked surprised, especially Joyce and Jonathan

"Tell him, I'm coming, mom is coming" Joyce begged, hope shining in her eyes. Suddenly Will's voice came from the radio "Hurry" it spoke.

"Ok listen you tell him to stay where he is, we're coming" Eleven jolted up, taking off the glasses, crying.

Joyce started comforting her, Luna decided not to invade the two. They obviously both needed comfort from each other.

Luna heard Hopper calling for Joyce outside. She walked out to see Jonathan standing outside and Hopper and Joyce getting in the car.
