Why me? (Stranger Things// Henry Creel)

Chapter Two

***
She awoke in a bed. The softest bed she ever had been in.
There were lights, bright white lights beaming down on her. So bright it hurt her head.
"Hello there." A woman appeared from behind a curtain.
"How are you feeling, sweetheart?" The woman in a white uniform asked.
012 positioned herself on the bed comfortably.

"There's a man here. He just going to ask you some questions. He won't hurt you or anything. He just wants to know some things."

The man came in. The same man in the uniform from the park.
"Hey, kid. I'm not here to hurt you. Just answer these questions."
"Ok." She said quietly.
He asked the same questions the man that found her asked her.

"Alright. We're done here." He said getting up from his seat.
"Wait." She said.
"What's up?" He said.
"Food?" She said still waiting for her food.
He chuckles.
"We'll get the food right now. After, I'm gonna have to take you somewhere. Got it?"
"Yes." She said. She didn't care about where she was going. She just wanted some food.

They brought her some food on a tray.
It was some bouncy red thing, two breads and in the middle, a piece of meat along with some water.
Once she took a bite out of the "cheeseburger" as the sweet woman called it, 012 LOVED it.

After she ate, the man, named Hopper (he told 012 to call him Hop) took her to a place filled with children. She was afraid she was at another place where they would hurt her again, but Hop said she would be fine.
***

*One day later*

A woman along with two boys and a man and Hop came into her room.
"Is this her?" The woman asked Hop.
"Yeah. She's 8 years old." He said.
"Why's her hair buzzed?" The other man asked.
"We don't know, Lonnie." Hop responded.

"Mom, what are we doing here?" The older boy asked.
"We are going to adopt her. She needs a home, Jonathan."
"We're going to have a sister?" The other boy asked.
"Yes, Will. Hop, does she have a name?" The woman asked as the two boys approach 012.

"Not really. She says 12 is her name but I figured you might want to change that so we made a birth certificate. She doesn't have any records. Like if she appeared out of no where."

"I think I have a name for her... Y/n." She said looking at her new daughter.
***

*One week later*

Y/n has now moved into her new home.
"I know it's not much, but it's our home, now yours too." The woman, Joyce, said
Joyce told Y/n that she can call her whatever Y/n wants.
For now, Y/n calls her Joyce. Maybe in the future Y/n will call Joyce, "Mom".
Y/n has her own room. She doesn't like being alone in her room, so every night, Joyce has to stay in Y/n's room until she falls asleep.

Will and Jonathan get along very well with Y/n. Almost everyday Joyce and Lonnie argue, so Jonathan lets Y/n and Will stay in his room. Will and Y/n are much closer because they are the same age. Will introduced Y/n to his best friends, Lucas, Mike and Dustin.
***

*Three years later*
*November 6th, 1983*
"Mom! Have you seen my notebook? I need it for D&D." Will shouts from the living room.
"I think its under your bed!" Joyce shouts back.
Will hurries to his room so he can still have time to eat breakfast.
"Thanks, mom!" Will says as he puts the notebook in his bag.

Y/n rushes to the kitchen to eat her breakfast.
"Y/n! Lets go! We're going to be late!" Will says as he finishes his orange juice.
"I just started eating! Plus, we still have thirty minutes left!" She complains.
"Yeah but you know Lucas takes forever!" Will says getting his stuff together.
"Fine! Fine! Lets go!" She says as she takes her pancake to go.
"Thanks for breakfast, Jonathan! Bye, Mom!" Y/n says before she leaves.
"Bye!" Both Joyce and Jonathan both say.

Will and Y/n both get on their bikes.
They go to Dustin's house first, then Mike, then Lucas.
They make their way to Mike's house.
