-JOYCE BYERS POV-
Tw mention of slurs :((

Nancy wheeler came to my door today, she says she's here to have a picnic with Johnathan, it's sweet of her to think of him, the wheelers are like that very
Compassionate.

I sit down next to Michael wheeler, apparently he was here to surprise eleven, it's a shame because el is actually out today, we began to talk, Michael (mike) is a very nice boy, he's always been their for will, my boy, god my boy has been through so much I'm just glad that Mike had stuck with him, all these years.

Those two, oh how just very is their duo, i know that will loves mike dearly, and I hope that mike feels the same from what I can tell their still such good friends.

Our lovely conversation was interrupted by a very distressed, Nancy wheeler Storming out of Johnathan room, tears running down her fair pale cheeks.
"Woah, what is going on here?"
"Your son is a fucking cheater." These words confuse me, but fill me with rage, this couldn't be true, it just couldn't.

I stand up quickly, Nancy continues;
"yeah, it's true, I mean you've been treating me like shit these past few weeks I should've expected it at this point!"

All I feel in this moment is angrier, Nancy doesn't deserve to be treated like this, and the fact it's my boy doing this, makes it ever some worse. The small fight is soon interrupted by will, her favorite son at the moment.

All i wanted was Nancy to be okay in this moment, Nancy deserves someone faithful, someone pure, someone kind.

"So, what are you going do with the picnic basket?"
"I have an idea"
"I'll probably just take, mike and we'll will if he'd like to come." I open my mouth to add something before I'm interrupted.

"Would you like to come? You can come if you want to.
"No thank you I'm going have to deal with Johnathan."

And deal with Johnathan is what I'm going to do, Johnathan was going to know that this isn't how you treat, woman, in fact it should be common decency to not cheat on your partner. Not to hurt your partner.

When the others leave I sit Johnathan on the couch, for a talk. He looks nervous, scared fidgeting with his fingers.

"Johnathan, what the hell has gotten into you lately." Johnathan lifts his head up surprised at the such language coming out of his moms mouth.

"Johnathan, we can't do this, you should know this." He mutters some "I know" but that is not what I want to hear right now.

"Lonnie, he used to stuff like this, he used to cheat on me... he used to hit me." He lifts his head up in shock
"I would never lay a hand on Nancy, never."

"That's how it starts you say never but then you go to the beers, and then never doesn't matter to you anymore." Maybe I am projecting, but that wasn't going to stop me, it seems to be working.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, but I'm nothing like dad, nothing like him I'm not like that." He looks sad desperation in his voice.

"No, you know, I've heard what's been going on at school... are you really calling people those terrible things calling them..., calling them fags behind there backs?"

"What! Mom that's just a joke I- how did you hear about that." He throws his hands, covering his face.

"That doesn't matter how I found out, You remember, when Lonnie he used to call will that, you know this." He began to cry looking at the floor.

"Nancy deserves better-uh than me, I'm a jerk I'm turning into duh-dad." I put my hand on his back, it may seem as an attempt to comfort him but at the moment she feels no sympathy.

"Your grounded, i know that for sure, me and hopper will discuss what else to do with you, later." "For now go to your room your not allowed at all this weekend."
