'Train tracks'
We start putting dirt back into Mew's grave as Dustin keeps nagging the boys but the obvious guess is that nobody is answering. I can already hear code red ringing in my ears from left to right. "Guys this is Dustin again. Does anyone copy? This is a code red. I repeat, a code red!" He states still chucking the dirt onto Mews.
I jinx myself in this situation I said that Dustin wouldn't do anything stupid but here I am chucking dirt on his dead cat that Dart just ate because he's apart of the upside down and is probably a brother or sister to the dark, no faced figure we faced.
Five minutes later we're getting cleaning supplies to clean up Mews's blood because of Dart who ate the poor thing. I knew it was stupid to let Dustin keep it but he said it was for science and what kind of dad would I be if I didn't let him experiment.
Dustin passes the cleaning supplies towards me. "I really need someone to pick up here. Hopper's MIA, I've got a code red. Code red!" He raises his voice putting the yellow gloves on as he passes me a pink pair.
Few minutes later we're scrubbing up Mew's blood which is stained in the carpet because of none other than Dart. I scrub my hardest trying to get the stains to lift off of the carpet. "All right, it's Dustin again. Seriously, I have a code red" he says scrubbing away. "There's no use, you've already drilled code red into my head" I groan using all my might to scrub the blood.
"Erica? Erica, is Lucas there?" Dustin questions standing up on his knees making my eyes widen. Thank god someone answered even if it's Erica, she's saved me from code red. "Is he with Mike?" Dustin stutters having a conversation with Erica which I highly doubt is going to last any longer. She's my sassy saviour, always needed in good moments like this.
"Please tell him it's supper important. Please tel him that I have a code" he gets cut of by Erica who's probably mimicking what he's saying. "Code red exactly" he says revealed. His mouth drops and eyes wide. Yep my sassy saviour just ended the line, you have got to love Erica. She always tells me you can't spell America without Erica.
"Cmon let's go, we're cycling to Mike's" he states getting off of the floor and I groan. "We literally have my car stupid we can drive in that" I state pulling the gloves off. "Maybe we can get Mike to steal Nancy's keys or something" Dustin says making no sense as I follow him. "I swear to god if we fall over, I'm going to rip out your scalp Henderson" I state as we walk outside.
A few minutes later we arrive at Mike's house. Dustin speeds down his driveway. "Dustin! Slow the hell down!" I raise my voice standing up on the bars at the back of his bike as he slams on the break. "Jesus Dustin" I whine jumping off the back as we walk upto Mike's.
How do I always end up in the Boy's shit. I swear trauma follows me everywhere I go and it's a real bad curse. Dustin rings the doorbell and leaves it and looks up to me. I give him a confused look as he hits the doorbell repeatedly. "Dustin" I yell grabbing his hand and holding it away from the doorbell.
Ted opens up the door as I drop Dustin's arm. "Your line has been busy for over two hours, Mr Wheeler" Dustin states as Ted looks down to Dustin then to me. "Do you realise this?" Dustin questions as Ted leans against the door "oh, I do realise" he says. "Is Mike home?" I question Ted and he looks at me. "No" he states with a straight face.
"No? Where the hell is he?" Dustin questions and I knot my brows. "Karen, where's our son?" Ted shouts to Karen. "Will's!" She shouts and Dustin sighs. "No one's picking up there. Nancy. What about Nancy?" He questions "Karen WHERES Nancy?" He yells "Ally's" she yells. I call bullshit, she's probably out with Jonathan.
"Our children don't live here anymore. You didn't know that?" Ted says making me stifle a laugh. The little things are the funniest. "Jules" Dustin turns his head to me. "What it was funny okay?" I smile shrugging my shoulders. "Am I done here?" Ted questions. "Son of a bitch. You're recalling no help at all, you know that?" Dustin says so casually making me burst out laughing las we both walk away. "Hey! Language" Ted states making me laugh even more as we walk up to his bike.
We get ready to get onto Dustin's bike as a car pulls up. I can notice that car from anywhere, it's the car I love seeing when I walk outside the door. It's Steve. He jumps out the car looking handsome as per usual with a Bouquet of flowers which I'm guessing are for Nancy. My heart aches knowing they were for Nancy, did that kiss really mean nothing?
"Steve!" Dustin smiles as we walk over. He turns his head towards Dustin before noticing I was there. Our eyes meet as his eyes widen. My heart starts racing and I hate it. I hate it because I know those flowers are for Nancy and not for me. "Are those for Mr or Mrs Wheeler? Dustin questions as we get closer to him. "No" he states making my heart ache even more.
"Good" Dustin says taking the flowers off him and smiling towards me. We start walking towards his car. "Hey. What the hell? Hey!" Steve yells making me laugh. "Nancy isn't home." Dustin states. "Probably with Jonathan" I declare folding my arms around my chest, trying not to look bothered. "Where is she?" He questions. "Doesn't matter. We have bigger problems than your love life" Dustin declares opening the passenger door making me smile.
"Do you still have the bat?" I question turning my eyes towards him taking in his everything. "Bat what bat?" He questions me back looking into my gaze. Dustin turns his head to Steve then to me. "Yooho-" Dustin clicks. "The one with the nails?" He states, breaking me and Steve from our gaze. "Why?" He questions confusedly. "I'll explain it on the way" he says getting into the passenger seat. "Now?" He says walking up to his car. "Now!" Dustin yells making him hurry. Dustin closes the door as Steve makes his way around the car.
My gaze burns on him as he turns around. "Jules I'm sorry. It wasn't what it looks like" he states and I shake my head. "Explain later okay? We got bigger things" I state jumping into the back as he watches me.
The car was silent and awkward. The tension between me and Steve lingers in the air as Dustin turns his eyes to Steve then to me. "What's going on with you both?" He questions snapping me out of my daydream. Steve opens his mouth to talk but I can't him off. "Oh Dustin has anyone ever told you to mind your business?" I state smiling leaning back into the chair.
Dustin shakes his head and looks over to Steve. "What did you do Steve? She wasn't like this when she was with me. I'm blaming you" Dustin laughs as Steve stutters. "Kid, I'll rip more of your teeth out if you don't close it" Steve smiles causing me and Dustin to gasp dramatically. "You wouldn't dare!" I say dramatically as Dustin turns towards me. "Oh what are we going to do!" He gasps putting his hands over his mouth.
Steve rolls his eyes as we start to laugh dramatically. Dustin was my favourite out of Kyle's friends and Mike is last. He was bit of an asshole to Max which was rude, Max is my hench-women and we stick together. Me, Erica El and Max would be an unstoppable team.
El, our Magic, mighty mage with magical, incredible powers which will shock you to your core. Erica my sassy, super superior saviour, who will take you down with only one sentence. Max and her zoomer energy who will get us anywhere at no time and me. Julie the chaotic, crazy, challenging, selfless warrior. Our energies together would be unmatched for, let's be honest.
