Two weeks.
That was how long Eddie and Soleil had hung out together whenever Eddie didn't have anything else to do like school. The girl continued to sneak out for quick arcade sessions, surprise visits to the Hideout to see Eddie's band, late-night snack runs before watching movies on VHS, guitar lessons, and anything fun that could happen in Hawkins, they did.
Soleil kept something to remember every moment, whether it was the guitar pick Eddie gave her, the simple drawing of her D&D character Eddie did, or the napkin she kept from first watching Corroded Coffin perform. It was a little strange but, it was her way of immortalizing the memory.
"I'll see you tomorrow!" Sol turned her back, away from Eddie and his van. She started running towards the iron fences like she always did to get back to her trailer undetected still, she couldn't believe that Eddie had managed to sneak them into the nearby drive-in, it had just made watching movies that much more fun. Usually, the girl would be able to get into her home without much trouble.
But tonight, that was different.
Soleil's fast pace came to a halt when she looked around at the other trailers. There, some of the other performers stood outside of their mobile homes, their faces reading worry. The girl felt a lump in her throat grow when she saw that her trailer door was wide open, lights on, as the sound of her father rumbling through her things, screaming, echoed in her mind. He was gonna be unbearable at this level.
With every step toward her trailer, Soleil felt her body wobbling, she developed a slight headache—the stress of what would happen when she saw her father made it feel like a thousand pounds sat on her head. Her heart might as well have been the ground, ripped out of her chest.
With any strength she had left, she walked up the few steps to her open front door. In the living room all her music, the colorful clothes she loved, the boring ones were probably left in the closet, and anything that could cheer her up was in a heap. Cassandra stood in the living room also, she rubbed her temples and only looked at Soleil for a second, somehow communicating that she was sorry.
"SOLEIL ADELINE ALASTAIR!" Her father's voice boomed, he came out of her room with one of her skirts, throwing it into the pile he had made.
"Dad—I-"
"Do you care to know what Kelly told me?" He got in her face, and the volume in his voice never went down. "She tells me you've been sneaking out under my nose and of course, I come to your trailer to prove her wrong and you're not here. Can you explain that to me Soleil?!"
She cowered, hanging her head. "I just wanted to have fun."
"Look at me. You're risking your life for fun? FUN? Have you forgotten who you are? You damn well know that any and everything is a danger to you. I do everything in my power to keep you happy, to keep you safe, I ask you to follow simple rules and you then disrespect that!"
