it had only been 11 am when the news of the murder of chrissy cunningham had went public. jude had added the hawkins news channel to the tv plan just so diana could keep up to date. she sat beside lydia who was munching away happily on a bowl of cereal.
diana was reading her book on the couch and slowly stuffing a bunch of gummies in her mouth when lydia started smacking her. "someone was murdered." she stated. diana looked up to see the new chief police, powell with callahan. she remembered they were there when hopper was scolding her, dustin, lucas and mike about the disappearance of will byers. "did they say who?" a feeling of nervousness bubbled inside her when she saw an all too familiar car in the background.
monica's car.
"that's my sisters car." she exclaimed, standing up, her bowl of gummies spilling everywhere.
"dude!" louise whined. she had just entered the room, "those were perfectly good fruit snacks! and the last ones too!"
"but that's not my old house. that's the trailer park." diana continued, lydia frowned and louise finally caught on once seeing the tv. she read the headline, hawkins high student murdered.
her sister went to hawkins high.
"dad!" lydia called, bringing the girl in for a hug who looked like she was about to start crying. tears had welled up in her eyes, staring in horror at the tv, "hey, it's okay. we're gonna get you back there, mkay?" she cooed, diana began sobbing. she wrapped her arms around the older girl, tears soaking into her madonna t-shirt.
jude ran into the living room seconds later, he immediately saw diana sobbing in lydia's arms and rushed to her side. "what happened?" he questioned, as diana threw her arms around him.
"monica's dead!" she exclaimed, her voice quivering while she spoke. "i want to go back." she added on, more quietly.
"i don't think it's a good idea." jude told her. he turned to the television that didn't specify who had been murdered, "maybe we should-" he was cut off by louise smacking him in the head.
