May 25th, 1987

Slamming against the walls of the Surfer Boy's Pizza van, the smell of weed infiltrating our senses. The storm finally ceased as we stopped at a red light. Bodies, pizza boxes, and all sorts of things littered the back of the van. I propped my arm up, rubbing the side of my head while groaning. I looked around me and noticed everyone trying to recover.

"Kill us, why don't you!" I shouted, rubbing my temples, trying to soothe my headache. My attempts soon fail as Argyle cranks up the music. I fall back in defeat, my back colliding with the soft fabric of the bean bag, sinking into it.

"Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side, Pass the Dutchie 'pon the left hand side,'' Both Argyle and Johnathan screamed, passing along some weed to each other. I let out a frustrated muffled scream into the bean bag as the same song repeats for the next couple of hours. The erratic driving soon started back up again. I flipped over onto my stomach, staring out of the dashboard. Watching as the scenery changed, colors blurring into each other at the speed we were going at. Counting the amount of "Welcome" to or "Goodbye" signs we pass in the hours. As we passed one more, I sighed.

"Are we almost there Johnathan?" I asked, staring at the back of the boy's head. He turned his body to face me, his eyes slightly a reddish pink, a dazed smile.

"Yea, we should be there in the next hour or two," He said, turning back to face the front. I nodded, going back to watching the road. We slowly rolled into a gas station, windows rolled down and music blaring. Both Argyle and Johnathan get out. I hopped up and looked outside the window, trying to get a look at where we possibly might be.

"HOLY SHIT! WE'RE HERE!" I shouted over the music, pointing over to a cop car that had 'Hawkins Police' written onto the side. I was now surrounded by my friends, peering over the cop car, a huge smile slapped across all of our faces.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Piling out of the car, my feet landed onto soft soil. The crisp air wafting through my nose as I take in my surroundings. We're here now Peter... I thought as I closed my eyes. I was brought back to my senses as laughter rang in my ears. I looked over to the noise to see El, Mike and Will, along with Argyle and Johnathan talking to a couple of familiar faces.

"(Y/N)! You remember Steve, Nancy and Robin!" Mike shouted, waving me over. I apprehensively walked over, an awkward smile on my face. As I stood next to Will, taken by surprise I was scooped up into a hug by none other than Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley.

"We missed you so much (Y/N/N)," Robin mumbled into the crook of my neck. I let out a laugh, as they both set me down, Steve ruffling my hair.

"I missed you guys too, and hi Nancy," I said, awkwardly waving over to the girl. She smiles at me and waves back, turning back to Johnathan. We continue our conversation, walking over to Mike's house and down into the basement to catch up. I flopped onto the couch, staring off into space, my mind on one thing, and one thing only. Peter. I noticed a hand waving in front of me, causing me to look up.

"Earth to (Y/N), what's up?" Robin asked, kneeling in front of me, a look of concern on her face. I smiled at her, shaking my head.

"I'm alright, just a lot on my mind you know?" I said, nervously picking at my scar. Feeling the sudden mood change, everyone now has all eyes on me. Steve walks over, taking a seat next to me, Robin getting up and sitting on the other side of me.

"Just scared Brenner will find me and El," I said, leaning my head back to stare at the ceiling. I felt tears prick at my eyes, my throat tightening. Out of my peripheral vision, everyone is now seated around me, solemn expressions on their faces.

"No one will ever hurt you two ever again," Everyone said, giving me a sense of comfort. A familiar sensation washing over me, calming me down. Just stay alive Peter...
