TW: Hangover, PTSD, throwing up, slight ED


It was one of these nights again. Alex again drank too much and Hopper wasn't coming home. Alex had one of her PTSD episodes again. Since her parents died in a fatal car crash while she also was in there but didn't got injured, she struggles with PTSD when she sees shattered glass. She just dropped a glass and it triggered her PTSD. Mostly she's just shaking but today it was more than that. Hopper wasn't there so she had no one who could comfort her. So she drank and drank until she was starting to fall asleep on the couch.

The next morning she woke up with a big headache. But still no sight of Hopper. "He's probably at work already" Alex thought and got ready for the day. She didn't ate anything for breakfast and vent off to work. 


When she arrived the secretary welcomed her. But no sight of Hopper. "Where's Jim?" Alex asked. The secretary answered "he wasnt here yet but there's Joyce Byers in his Office she looks very exhausted I think you should go to her, she's waiting now for 2 hours", she said. Alex nodded and headed towards Hoppers Office. There the beauty herself sat while smoking a cigarette. She had her back turned to Alex so she didn't saw Alex were there admiring her beauty.

Alex noticed Joyce a few times before. She was gorgeous. Her perfect cheekbones. Her dark brown eyes. Everything was perfect about her. She noticed Alex thinkingly it would be her uncle "Jim, I've been waiting for 2 hours now-" Alex interrupted her "Sorry Madam, I might smell like Jim and have the same last name but I definitely am not him" Joyce turned around "oh my, I'm so sorry I didn't notice, I'm Joyce, Joyce Byers and you are?" "Oh I'm the niece of Jim, Alex Hopper" Alex said smiling. "I'm sorry miss that you had to wait that long, I thought Jim should be here already wrong thought", Alex continued. "Oh oh my dear don't be sorry it's alright I guess I'm deeply worried about my son Will" Joyce said. Alex blushed at the name my dear but also started to worry. Alex had known Will a bit threw his talent in drawing. She drew also a lot and were friends with Mike. Alex had seen Will and the gang sometimes when she stepped out the house. "May I ask what happened to him, miss Byers?", Alex asked. "Oh my dear, stop calling me miss I start to feel old" Some foot steps interrupted us and in the doorframe the sherif himself Jim Hopper stood. "Joyce, Alex", he said tiling his hat. "Sorry ya had to wait that long. The secretary informed me already. So what happened to him Joyce?", Jim continued.Alex leaned on the wall next to the window while Joyce informed Jim about the situation. Alex started to get distracted zoning out. She started to stare at Joyce. "Gosh she is so gorgeous" Alex thought.

Alex then started to smoke a cigerette to calm her down, getting a seriously look from her uncle. Alex shrugged her shoulders. But something changed in her thoughts. She suddenly was the 10 years old of herself in the back of the car from her parents. Her mom before her and her dad next to her mom. She felt how her hands started to shake. She quickly was back in the room. Alex had some sort of nausea a throbbing headache and her hands still shaking. Hopper didn't notice it because Alex was standing behind him but Joyce glanced sometimes at her. Giving her a slightly worried look."Uhm, excuse me for a second", she suddenly spoke and went into the bathroom as quick as possible not looking back. 

In the bathroom she threw up in the toilet. Maybe she should have eaten something for breakfast Alex thought. At least she hadn't had a hangover anymore. She washed her hands and the rest of puke on her mouth while her shaking hands started to calm down a bit. Alex looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a mess. Why did she even came here? But if she didn't she wouldn't have met that pretty woman who's in the same age as her uncle. "How ridiculous" she thought. Luckily her shaking had stopped by now so Hopper shouldn't notice anything.

She rushed out of the bathroom not looking ahead to where she was walking. So she bumped into someone smaller than her. Alex stumbled backwards a bit now looking at the person she bumped into. It was no other than the woman she thought about seconds ago.
