Steddie :)

Painting pumpkins 25 I finally updated it lmao 😭

It'd been a few months, and I think it's been enough time to say that I'll probably never forget the hell of experience's that Hawkins put me through, honestly I never want to come back. That is if I leave.

Steve and I had planned on meeting up today, at skull rock.

    I get up off the couch and walk towards the bathroom,

I turn the faucet on and began cupping my hands under the cold water, then splashing my face with it.

I picked up my toothbrush and began brushing my teeth. I hadn't seen Steve in maybe three weeks.

I threw my hair up in a ponytail and got ready to walk out the door.

as I walked back into the living room I picked up my jacket off the couch and headed outside

  It was cold, November 15th  1986

I slam the door shut in my van as I got in.

I didn't feel like playing my music as loud as normal today. 

  For some reason I was anxious to see Steve again.

I swerved through the now empty streets  trying to make it towards skull rock.

  A lot of people had moved, due to the "earth quake"

I pulled into a secluded spot in a shaded area, Steve's brown bmw right across from my van.

as soon as we saw each other we both got out of our vehicles and  Ran right to each other.

His lips crashed onto mine

"eddie,my god how have you been?!" Steve cried

I moved my finger and gently swept away his tear.

"I've been fine, no worries. How about you?" I say now holding his clammy hands

"it's been very uneventful to say the least,but that's a good thing right?"

"Yes, it's that's a good thing in this case."

We sit down near the actual skull, and we chit chatted about anything and everything on our minds. It was good finally being able to see Steve, I hadn't realized how much I missed him. I mean I had noticed but the feeling grew just seeing him today.

  The day had passed pretty quickly. We hadn't left the others side all afternoon.

Hawkins had this pumpkin activity this afternoon to try and scrape up money since Vecna's curse.
And so we went.

I drove my van to Wayne's trailer, and then swapped vehicles to Steve's Bmw

The air was cold, and the heater took that cold frisk air away. Steve held my hand the entire car ride.

When we arrived at the pumpkin patch, about twenty to thirty people where there. Mainly poor lower income families.

Steve and I walked over to a lady at the stand.
"How may I help you two young gentlemen this afternoon?" She asked showing her smile lines.

"Oh, we'd just like two pumpkins please." Steve said with a warm smile. God I loved his smile.

"right over there."

I knew that pumpkin season was almost over, it probably already was. But if this town wasn't strange enough then it'd be weird.

we walked and picked our small pumpkins and grabbed a flier for a farmers market near by. We could stop by there another day.

We headed back to the car, and got in.
Next stop the craft store.

Indiana had a small arts and craft store near family video and we needed paint.

As his car veered down the highway, we listened to an artist I'd never heard before the cure. Sure it was popular but id never listened to it.

We stopped at the craft store and Went looking for paint.

"Ed's look at this one!" Steve pointed at a hazelnut brown shade.

"I think that could work."

I grabbed the paint and put it in the basket.
We looked around for some other craft supplies and left spending $36.75 We got a few different varieties of paint, some carving supplies and some paint markers.

We drove to an abandoned park area. Well it hasn't looked used in about 2 years or so, so we picked I spot in the grass and got to carving and painting.

Steve did a more "cute" paining and not carving it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️   

   I on the other hand carved it and made it look very scary. In my opinion

Steve and I had to said goodbye at 11:25 pm it was a fun day of hanging out with him. We planned on going to the farmers market sometime next week. Since we both had filled up our schedules
