The Year 1985

Chapter 27: Connecting The Pieces

Countless questions have been going on inside their minds about how to solve these dilemmas they are currently dealing with. They even could not find a way to make a beautiful memory out of it. It seems like everything on the table has missing roads to connect to along with an enormous worry in their hearts about where Eleven possibly go. Right now, a big curiosity has been occupying Mike's intellect about who might be the girl his lover went with as he witnessed the fright on her complexion. Eleven was scared and in peril, he believed. It must be settled with action right away, he added to his thoughts.

"You know where Eleven went?" Max stood up abruptly and painted an inquisitive reaction on her expression. The girl earned a simultaneous nod from the two as they took a deep breath and gave the youngsters a sign to wait. They indeed sprinted so rapidly. "Let the parents breathe first." The mullet lad shrugged and crossed his arms after. All their sights quickly shifted to Harrington as he witnessed the wonder and a limited reveal of shock through their gazes of them. That made the lad sit back appropriately and slicked back a few strands of hair that has been almost concealing his face. Sweat due to nervousness nearly appeared.

"What? Aren't they parents already? Like, Hopper has Eleven and Joyce has Will and Jonathan. That's what I meant, guys. Nothing else." Robin immediately looked down to avoid them seeing her snickering at what just arose at the moment. Her giggles are about to be heard distinct from the quiet surrounding.

The younger Byers sighed in relief and soon, the figure of the middle Wheeler caught his attention who is leaning against the wooden barrier of the basement. His hands were inside both of those pockets with an unfortunate attitude sketched through his behavior. Will suddenly is worried when the lad witnessed his best friend in this kind of situation. Everything is unpuzzled and has shattered pieces. A hearable voice from Joyce broke the teenager's thoughts and quickly faced her. "I-I don't know. I and Jim took off to the store to buy snacks and other essential stuff for all of you, however, when we were about to head back here, we saw Eleven with a girl. Same height as hers and went inside an unfamiliar and strange house."

An anxious response from the mother even increased their curiousness about what may have happened and concerns for the girl. Many possibilities rushed through their judgments along with strategies on how they can obtain Jane back to them. Even this illustrated a massive question mark on the walls. "We have one thing we can perhaps accomplish right now. To know about the Hargreeves through newspapers and other valid resources." Nancy suggested with her beautiful ocean-blue eyes gleaming in the hope for them to agree. The lady's lover nodded in response as the entire group nodded and followed along.

"Brilliant. We can also ask Mr. Clarke about this."

"Or maybe Murray," Jim added to their statement of Dustin as they gave the chief police a stare before approving. There was a long pause of silence as Jonathan accepted the idea along. The youngsters exchanged glimpses with one another as fear can be seen on their faces. The noise is starting to get wilder due to the tossing conversations and theories or what they can do to save their greatest companion which is currently in the dangerous dimension they believe.

The elder Wheeler halted the noise once more and added, "Let's stick to this one for now. We have to be safe, secure, and sure of every action we take." There was a loud "yes" from the group that indicated a sign they understood everything and commenced watching out for their businesses. The lady soon felt warmth from a hand that was placed against her shoulders which made her startle slightly. Before gazing up at the man she is expecting to see, her guess turned into the realization it wasn't the woman's boyfriend but Steve.

Soon, a minor tension came across between the two, and now, can't deny how much these students from Hawkins High School indeed missed the bond they maintained before despite what both have experienced. After all, they still treasured the connection the two kept as good companions. The lad gave her a reassuring smile to at least comfort her troubles away and delicately said, "Thank you." Nancy nodded in response and watched him walk away from her place.

She is truly thankful Harrington focused on changing his ways in life and learned through the past. This became the best benefit that happened when their romantic relationship ended before as they comprehended to reflect on the past experiences and started a new chapter individually. Everything turned out wonderful.
