Summer '85
2 months after The Star Court "fire"
"Max, where do you want this?" Louella asked her friend as she carried the cardboard box through the front door.
Max poked her head out from her bedroom,
"What's in it?"
"I don't know, it's taped"
"Probably kitchen then"
"Okay!"
Louella placed the box on the kitchen counter and opened it up. She found a bunch of plates, cups, bowls, and cutlery.
As she began to pack them away into some cabinets, she saw an ugly-coloured van pull, more like swerve up, to the trailer across the street.
"Who's that?" she asked Max as she heard her walk into the kitchen.
She looked over Louella's shoulder,
"Eddie. Eddie Munson."
"Huh. I haven't heard that name in a while."
The long-haired boy jumped out of his van and waltzed up to his front door. She watched as he clumsily dropped his keys.
He was clearly high.
As he bent down to pick up his keys, he noticed her staring from the kitchen window. He grinned but then froze after noticing the blue car outside the house. Billy's car. Well, her's now.
She didn't know why he had left it to her and not his sister. Maybe he'd known how much Max hated it. Billy's father had been furious when Louella's name had been read out on the will. The will. She was surprised to hear that he even had one. He must've known that something would happen to him after the Mind Flayer had taken control. And that fact alone had shattered her heart even more after his death. Sure, Billy may have been an asshole in the beginning, but she learned to love him as he did with her.
"Lou!" Max shook her, snapping her back to reality.
She turned to face her small friend beside her,
"Mm?"
"He's coming over here."
She pointed to Eddie walking across the road and toward the house.
Louella groaned.
She walked over to the open front door and lent against the frame as Eddie admired the car.
"Can I help you?" she sighed.
"Uh, yeah, who's car is this?" he responded.
"Mine. Why?"
"It's a Chevy, right?"
She nodded,
"Chevy Camaro Z-28 with a 350-cubic-inch, 185-horsepower V8 engine"
"Nice," he paused for a moment, "I know this car. Where'd you get it from?"
She took a deep breath,
"It was passed down from my late boyfriend."
"Billy Hargrove."
"Yeah..."
He began walking towards her,
"Which makes you Louella Quinn."
"The one and only."
He stuck out his hand,
"Eddie Munson, you may rem-"
"Yeah, I know who you are." Louella cut him off, ignoring his hand.
His arm dropped back to his side,
