It was a secret

It's Friday and I'm not going to school, I'm sick of that shithole. The work sucks, the building suck, the kids suck, the staff suck, the food sucks. I'm just done with it and it's literally the first week.

Amelia of course is loving it with her perfect friends and perfect boyfriend and perfect self. I'm sick of it. She acts like she's totally fine when I know she's not! Her and Billy were close and she was right there when he died. She's been different but hiding it very well I hear her all the time getting up in the middle of the night, sometimes she wakes up screaming but I've gotten used to it by now.

Mom is always out and never home and when she is she's drunk, drunk all the time

Ever since Billy's dad left she's been all depressed and drinking. It hurts me to have to sit in all of this but it doesn't bother me as much as it did when it all went down. I've adjusted.

I go to school, don't pay attention, eat, skateboard and listen to music all day and don't come home until like 10 at night. Which I know it scares Amelia but she's busy with Eddie anyways.

Right now I'm going to the park so I can be alone and away from home, I shouldn't even call it home really.

On the way I stop by a drug store and buy a water

I sit on the swings a little, wander around, skate and eventually it's 3 which means everyone is out of school for the day and I have to leave before the toddlers arrive

"Max!" I hear someone call from behind me "Lucas?" He runs over to me and stands in front of me "I was worried, you weren't at school" I scoff "why would you be worried about me" he thinks for a second "It's Hawkins I think I have to worry about everything" I roll my eyes "yeah? Well I'm fine that's for the concern though" I sarcastically say, skateboarding of

Usually I would just go somewhere else until late at night but Amelia invited me to a movie night with her and her friends and I said yes, kinda regretting it though but maybe it'll be nice.

Nothings been nice for months so I'm not having any hope

I walk in and see Amelia and Eddie talking on the couch "hey max" he says I give a half smile and sit on the chair next to the couch "where's everyone else?" I ask and she sighs "running late" I nod "what movie are we watching?" Eddie asks

"Some scary one that just came out" he nods

*knock knock*

I get up and open the door seeing Steve, Robin and Jenny "Hey" I say "Hey max" they all return

They all get some pillows and blankets and sit right in front of the coffee table on the floor. Steve on the left Robin on the left and Jennifer in the middle. My sister made some popcorn, three bowls so I got my own.

The movie starts and it's pretty boring so I quickly drift of to sleep.

Jenny's pov
I'm currently stuck in between the two people i fancy the most. Steve smells so good and Robin is so pretty. Steve has beautiful hair and Robin is super smart. They both are so funny and very attractive and I've known them for a while.

I love their smiles and their voices

I like them both so much which makes it difficult because I don't know who I wanna be with. I know Robin likes this girl in the band with her named Vicky and Steve is still stuck on Nancy even if doesn't admit it.

So I've kept quiet about my feelings except Steve knows I like Robin so that sucks and of course Amelia knows everything as well. This movie is actually very scary and intense

"Billy no! Nooo Billy!" The tv screams as the main character watches her best friend die I gasp and look at Amelia she's breathing very heavily and looks scared. I see Eddie look at me in panic on not knowing what to do so I get up and take her to her room.

"Amelia!" She doesn't respond, she's just staring at the wall in front of her not moving a muscle "Amelia talk to me, you're ok. I promise everything is ok. You are ok" she breaks from her trance and looks at me, crying

I hug her tightly

She's acting like this because that scene triggered her, it was exactly like what happened on that night

"I-it all just just came back I'm s-so sorry" she stutters out and I just softly run my hand up and down her back. I look up and see everyone else in the room looking concerned, especially Eddie. "She's ok, just got triggered by the movie" I tell them

I let go of them hug and Amelia immediately runs over to Eddie for comfort "are you ok sweetheart?" He asks and she nods

This has been one interesting night

"I think that's cue to head to bed" Robin says "I'll take the couch!" She  announces and Steve groans as he sets up a bunch of pillows on the ground to get comfortable. "We will sleep in her bed" Eddie says with Amelia clinging onto him and I sigh

"Welp I guess we're sharing the floor Stevie boy" he smiles "ok then" I look over at Robin and she's faced away from us

I lay down next to him with a good amount of space between us. About an hour goes by and I can't sleep I look over at Steve and he's. Staring at the ceiling

"Steve" I whisper and he looks at me "yeah?" He asks "I can't sleep" he nods "me too" he turns his whole body to face me

"Do you ever get a weird feeling about this place?" He furrows his eyebrows "Like this trailer?" I laugh quietly "no idiot like this town, it always has something going on" he sighs "yeah there is something seriously wrong with this town, way more then you think" I nod

"I hate it here" he says "I always get stuck in some bullshit I don't wanna be in" I laugh "yeah I get you on that" he just smiles

"Well Goodnight Steve" I smile "Goodnight Jenny" he returns as we both close our eyes and drift off to sleep
