Josie Byers was always a nightmare, she had caused her parents a lot of stress even before she was born. She loved fighting and would often go outside with her dad and learn to shoot from the age of 4. She loved her dad more than anything, Lonnie Byers was her role model, well he was until she turned 7.
Lonnie pressured her younger brother Johnathon to be a real man, he stopped spending time with Josie as he thought she was turning into a man, that wasn't what a lady should do, he tried to make Johnathon into the man he once made Josie, but Johnathon never gave in, he loved photography. On his 6th birthday his mom brought him a beautiful camera, the best one in the market, but his dad flipped out, Joyce was defenceless against Lonnie, he was a strong man, she was just a woman, or so he thought.
Joyce forced him out of the house, practically dragged him out by the ear, that was the day Josie's opinion on her dad changed and her mom became the role model. Johnathon was never the same after that day, neither was Joyce, she had found out she was pregnant, forcing Lonnie to return. He never tried to apologise to any of us, he pretended he did nothing wrong.
When Josie turned 14, Lonnie left again, he had attacked Johnathon for refusing to go to a bar with him, then when he got home he slashed Josie with a tool in the shed for talking back to him while defending Johnathon,Joyce blew up and locked him out for good that time. That was the day Josie changed for the worst. She found a new friend, a friend with special things for a special price. Eddie Munson was the middle schools dealer, his drugs weren't the best quality but flattery worked on him. Josie and Eddie became fast friends until he went off to High school and Josie stayed where she was, they were only a grade apart.
Her youngest brother Will struggled harder that Johnathon, he tried to find friends but couldn't while Johnathon never looked. Josie tried to find him friends, but they always teased him, she had been putting off the last choice for ages, Nancy Wheelers little brother Mike. It's not like she didn't like Mike, it's that she didn't like Nancy. She was a huge priss, but nevertheless, her brother was the perfect match for Will. Wills only friend soon turned into a group of four boys, who happened to enjoy dnd. Nancy and I became best friends, not as good as me and Eddie but a close second. Will always tried to make me join his dnd games and sometimes I did, Eddie had taught me well. Nancy and I usually had sleepovers while they played dnd so mom would get her alone time, not that she used it well, she spent it working.
But this story starts on November 6th 1983, the day Nancy and I had our last sleepover, the day Will Byers went missing.
