"Are you two just gonna stare at each other all morning?"Matt asked through a mouthful of pancakes.
Me nor James said anything, just continued staring at each other, it's been two nights since our argument, I haven't spoken a word to him, just like he hasn't talked to me.
Tiffany wasn't back either, Billy's tried getting me to apologize, Max tried to get James to apologize too. But it didn't work.
"Okay."Matt nodded, taking another bite.
"I gotta get to work."i stood up, taking my plate to the sink.
"I might bring whatever girl I end up with tonight to go see a movie. You working late again?"Matt asked following me as I slipped my shoes on and grabbed my keys.
"Yeah."I mumbled, walking out the door and to my car.
Just as I did, in the corner of my eye I could see Billy walking up to me.
"You okay?"
"Is Max?"I glanced at him, throwing my bag into the passenger seat.
"Everyone's still trying to save her, or whatever."
"Do you think we can?"I turned to look at him, taking in his appearance.
"I don't know. I don't know, I really hope we can."he sighed
"I gotta get to work."I whispered, getting into my car, he held the door open peering down into my car. His eyes finally landing on me.
"You okay? You've been acting weird."
I glanced down at my stomach gulping, "I got into a pretty big argument with James the other night. But it's nothing, I'm fine. Goodbye."
"Okay. Goodbye, I love you."he bent down, kissing me.
"Love you too."

"So, what are we doing?"
"Apparently Max and Billy had another brother, but he died literally the day they moved to Hawkins. It was Billy's biological older brother, and he was beat to death by their dad. And of course, Neil being Neil, didn't tell anyone he killed his son. But I guess this guy wasn't exactly the nicest to Max or Billy."I sighed, pulling into the cemetery.
"Oh shit."Matt looked out the window, up ahead I faintly made out Billy and Steve leaning against Steve's car.
"Hey."I got out of my car, jogging to Billy pulling him into a tight hug.
"Why didn't you ever tell me you had a brother?"I pulled away, cupping his cheeks.
"You never asked."he shrugged, wiping a tear away.
"Ok, it's been long enough."Steve pushed himself off the car marching towards Max, that's when I finally noticed her sitting at the top of a hill.
"Max?"I heard Steve yell, James and Matt stood next to Billy and I, Dustin and Lucas got out of the back seat.
"Max!"Steve screamed as he started shaking her, we all sprinted towards the two.
"What the hell- Max!"Billy dropped to his knees, aggressively shaking her.
As they all tried to wake her up, I looked at the grave behind Billy.

'Gone but never forgotten'
My head snapped towards the car when I heard a static noise, Dustin must've heard it too cause he was looking in that direction, we looked at each other then sprinted towards the car.
I dove into the backseat to grab the walkie, bringing it to my lips.
"Hey! Robin? Nancy? Did either of you get any info and how to beat this douche? Cause we could ugh, really use it right about now."
"Bea! Bea? We figured it out. Music! It's music."Robin yelled
"What?"Dustin snatched it from my hand as we looked back up at everyone.
"Victor said he was in a dream like thing, but a song started playing. And it distracted him, bringing him back to the real world. What's Max's favorite song?"
I dug around the backseat looking for her cassette player and headphones. When I found it I grabbed all the cassettes I could find running up to them.
I threw it all on the ground dropping to my knees, "her favorite song, her favorite song what is her favorite song!"
James and Billy started to help me go through the pile until James picked up one of them shoving it in the player, I grabbed the headphones putting them over her head, hitting play.
Just than, she started to levitate, I immediately backed up falling on my butt as I stared up at her.
"What the fuck! Get her down! It's not working get her the fuck down!"Billy screamed as he scrambled to his feet.
"Give it time!"Dustin shouted.
"It has to work."James whispered.
"C'mon Max."Steve tangled his fingers in his hair.
A tear escaped my eye just as her eyes shot open, she fell to the ground with a harsh thud, I winced at the thought of her snapping her legs.
James fell to his knees, pulling her into him, Billy right at their side as they both comforted her.
The rest of us stood up, smiling softly.
"We did it."Steve sighed in relief.
"It worked! Take that you son of a bitch it worked!"Dustin shouted as he jumped around.
"Oh my god. Come here."I sat next to Billy, pulling Max into a tight hug.
