Dear Eleven,

It has been 351 days since you are gone. Everyone has been good. I know you are probably worry about Mike, he is good too. My grammar is getting better, see? Will has been going to this doctor at the lab, it worry me a little bit. But other than that everything is going great. I miss you very much. Halloween is coming soon. It's a holiday where you get candy by knocking on doors. It's very fun. This year we are dressing-

"Hey you guys copy?"

y/n looked up from where she was writing her letter, looking over to the super com sitting on the bed. She quickly got up and grabbed it, climbing to the top bunk of the bed where Will sat, drawing.

She handed him the super com, the boy extending the antenna and turning it on. "I've got four quarters, What's your haul?" Dustin's voice rang through the radio, y/n realizing what they were talking about.

The girl reached into her pocket as Lucas responded. "Take your puny haul and multiply it by five." They could hear the cockiness in the boy's voice, Dustin responding. "How?" Lucas scoffed slightly, responding again.

"While you were scrounging around like a homeless bum I mowed old man Humphrey's lawn." y/n looked up at Will confused, the boy shuddering slightly. She held the button down, "Old man Humphrey?" The boys ignored the question, continuing to banter.

"Old man Humphrey's got that kinda cash?" Will smiled listening to his friend's fight, it wasn't very pleasant but he had missed it. "Whatever I've gotta go take a shower from doing work like a real man, over and out." Lucas' line went silent.

y/n finally pulled her hand out of her pocket revealing six quarters. She dumped them on the bed, watching as Will pulled a pouch from under his pillow. He dumped out eight more, the two kids smiling at one another.

"What about you guys? Will? Y/N?"

Will let y/n answer, the girl holding the mic to her mouth. "Together we have 15." Will shook his head, y/n frowning slightly. She went back to count in her head, realizing her mistake. "I mean, together we have 14."

Dustin smiled on the other line, "Great, I'll call Mike."

y/n smiled, "Over and out."

She grabbed her money and began climbing down from Will's bed, slipping into her converse as Will climbed down after her. He grabbed his shoes, running out of the room, y/n stopping at the desk briefly. She picked up the pen, writing as fast as she could.

I have to go but I will write more tomorrow. We are going to the arcade. Dustin and Lucas really like it there. Maybe you can come with us one day.

Love, your sister,
y/n Byers.

"y/n come on we're gonna leave you!"

y/n smiled at Joyce's voice, quickly picking up the letter and slipping it into the box under her bed, piles of paper already filling the box. "Coming mom!"

She had begun calling the woman mom around christmas time, Joyce almost cried when she did it for the first time. She held the girl to her chest, kissing her face all over.

"Car is starting!"

y/n quickly stood, grabbing Steve's hat and placing it over her now mid-back length hair, pulled into two braids. She ran from the room and out the door, hopping into the backseat.
