"Okay, so now you have to pack up all your stuff today" Sue said with a soft smile.
I had not been back in that house ever since I laid in my moms bed. But I had to do this. This is a fresh start.
Hey, I made it 12 years without my dad and I think I can spend the rest without my mom. Simple right?
I got up, I was already dressed.

I followed her outside. In the hallway I saw many baby pictures of Lucas and Erica. And many family photos. Sucks because I never got that. I did not have one family photo.
"Hey, before we do this. You have a phone call waiting for you" Sue said and pointed the phone. "When you done, we will be at the house" she said. I could tell this was hard on her too.
I grabbed the phone. I wander who would want to call me?
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey, y/n?" I odd but weirdly Familiar voice said.
"Who is this?" I asked.
"It's you dad sweetie" that's when my whole world stopped.
"Dad?" I asked.
"Yep. And I wanted to fix our relationship. I was wondering if you wanted to move in with me and get a fresh start" he said.
(This next bark is from a song called Stan by Emiemen)
"Are you seriously? All I ever wanted was a Lousy letter or a call. I love you dad we could have been together. Think about it? You ruined it now I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it. And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breath without it. Was it that hard dad? To pick up the phone to say 3 little words to me. To make my life somewhat better? But now when my dies you think you can do this?" I said. I didn't even wait for him to answer. I just hung up. I sat there on the floor crying. Man this is bad.
Lucas POV (during the phone call)
"Who is she on the phone with?" I asked mom as we were packing up stuff in the kitchen.
"Her father. He wants to see if she would like to live with him" she replied.
"He can't just do that? He left her for 12 years mom. You can't let him do that" I argued back.
"He has ever right to do so. And I know if I had some say I would have never let her answer the phone. But it's her father her choice" Mom said.
"She can't leave. She won't right?" I asked.
"Honey, you have to remember all she ever thinks about in this small town is her mom. Maybe she wants to get away" she said.
"But she can't" I said.
"Lucas? Where are you going?" She asked.
But I was already out that door. I jumped over the fence to our house. I ran to the door opened it and ran into the kitchen. I found y/n on the floor crying.
Y/n POV
I heard someone rush in. I looked up it was Lucas. He stood there. Then I held my arms open motioning for a hug of some type. I really needed him right now. And I'm glad he came back in. 10 minutes later, I rubbed my eyes.
"Let's go pack" I said with a small smile.
"Are you moving?" Lucas asked.
"Are you kidding me? No way I'm going with that maniac" I said with a laugh.
"I'm glad your laughing" Lucas said.
"We'll have to deal with grieve in odd ways" I said.
"Did you just quote James?" He asked.
"Technically I quoted the speaker guy" I said.
"You know that's our principal right?" Lucas asked.
"Oh it was" I said.

"What are we gonna do with all my moms stuff?" I asked Sue. Sue, Lucas and I were putting her stuff in boxes.
"We're just gonna put all of it in the attic until your older" she said while putting some of her clothes in a box.
We already finished my room. And Charles (Lucas dad) was putting those boxes in my new room.
"If you want anything Sue you can have it. To remember her by" I said.
"I'm not gonna do that to you" she said.
"She would have wanted you to have something, go ahead" I said with a smile.
"Thank you sweetheart. I always new you had your mothers heart" she said while hugging me.
"She is wonderful" Lucas said.
"I'm so glad you have each other" Sue said mentioning me and Lucas.
"Oh umm" Lucas said.
"Oh come on. Y/n mother and I saw it ever since Lucas would want to play Barbie's with you when you were little" she said with tears in her eyes.
*** *Few hours later back at Mikes house*
"Ok so what was Will saying?" I asked.
"Like home, like home. But dark" Mike said.
"And empty" Lucas said.
"And cold. What did he say cold?" Dustin asked.
"I don't know the stupid radio kept going in and out" Lucas asked. I giggled. Then Dustin looked at me and smiled.
"It's like riddles in the dark" Lucas said.
"Like home. Like his house?" Mike asked.
"Or maybe like Hawkins" Lucas said.
"Upside down" El said.
"What she say?" Lucas asked.
"Upside down" I said.
"What?" Lucas asked.
"Oh my lord are you that slow? Upside down" I said.
"When El showed us where Will was she flipped the bored over. Remember? Upside down. Dark, empty" Mike said.
"Do you understand what he is talking about?" Lucas asked.
"It makes perfect sense. Will is trapped in another world" I said.
"Think about it, Y/n right. El took us to find Will she told us to his house" Mike said.
"And he was not there" Lucas said.
"What if he was there? And we could not see him" I said.
"Yeah in the other side" Mike said.
"What if" I said grabbing the bored. "This is Hawkins" I said with the right side and flipped it over "and this is the upside down" I said.
