Falling Just As Hard

Welcome To Hawkins!

Y/N' S POV :

"Welcome to Hawkins!" I read the words off of a large sign as i'm sitting in the backseat of my aunt's car , staring out the window with my headphones on ,  playing the song , "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" by The Clash ,  because it was my dad's favorite.It had only been a couple weeks since the accident and I was missing my dad more than ever.I stared out the window , still trying to process the fact that he was really gone and the fact that I was going to be living with my Aunt Claudia and my younger cousin Dustin.

"Were here!" , my aunt says.I turn to look at her and see , she's already looking at me through the rear view mirror with a smile on her face.

As I walk into the house I hear a voice upstairs yell , "Y/N! , YOU 'RE HERE!" , I look up and see its my cousin Dustin running down the stairs , almost tripping on the steps.Once he finally reaches the floor , he smiles and runs up , to give me a hug.

After settling in, I go up to my room and start unpacking.

"Dinners ready!" my aunt yells. I had just finished setting up my room , so I headed downstairs.

I get my plate and take the seat across from my aunt.

"So how are you holding up with everything , y/n ?", she asks. 

"I miss him. A lot ." ,  I reply . 

"Well if you ever need someone to talk to , we're here , okay? And we know it's not easy but you've got us , and we love you."

"Thank you." I answered with a slight smile to show that I was grateful for their support.

After dinner, I headed upstairs to take a shower and got ready for bed.

*The Next Morning*

I wake up due to the sun hitting me directly in the face.I am NOT a morning person but I forced myself to get up anyways and get dressed.

*knock knock knock*

"Just a sec", I reply to whoever was knocking on the door. I finish changing then I go to open the door and see my aunt. 

"Breakfast's ready , I made pancakes!", she says with a smile on her face.  

"I'll be down there as soon as I finish getting ready." , I answered.

I walk downstairs to see Dustin already eating his pancakes and aunt Claudia setting a bowl of fruit on the table.

"Mom made pancakes!" dustin says while wiping syrup off his face.

"Here you go sweetie" aunt Claudia says as she hands me a plate with two pancakes.

"Thank you" I reply.

I take a seat in the same spot as yesterday and begin eating.

"So, Dusty are you doing anything fun today?" asks my Aunt Claudia.

I let out a small chuckle while turning to dustin because I haven't heard that nickname in years.

He sees me laugh and flicks me off with a sarcastic smile as his mom turns around.

"Um..yea , the group and I are supposed to meet at StarCourt Mall and watch the opening for 'Day Of The Dead' today." .

"ooo sounds fun!...You know , you should take y/n with you and show her around while you're at it."

"Yea , she can come along if she wants to."

"What do you say y/n , do you want to go to the movies with Dusty and his friends?".

"Sure , why not." I reply.
