Time- Vance Hopper

Chapter 11

Grief is an odd thing

Marie was not getting better. She cried constantly now, way more than she did before. She barely felt like she could get up, so she just stayed in bed. Her uncle was concerned for her, And stayed home so that they can both heal.

Which was obviously gonna be a bit harder than he thought it would.

Someone knocked on the door, she groaned and opened it. She wasn't expecting to see a girl, a girl who she didn't recognize. And most importantly who was her uncle letting in the house?

"Uh, who are you?"

"I'm Cynthia. I w- am one of Robins friends."

"Okay..?"

"I just wanted to see how you were. I- I thought you should have this.. I meant to give it to him but.." she handed her a paper.

She opened it up, and it was a drawing of Robin.

"I'm also sorry about Vance.." she seemed nervous, scared almost.

"Thank you."

"Of course, I just wanted to make sure you're okay. He really cared about you, you know?"

"Yeah.. thanks, maybe I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, sure. Bye." She smiled and left.

"Bye.." she closed the door while looking at the paper.

She then saw the drawing of vance on her nightstand. That's when she tried to remember, tried to remember his voice. She could remember what he looked like, but not his voice.

She panicked, holding the paper in a ball now.
Why couldn't she remember? Why couldn't she? She blamed it on herself. All of it.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck." She repeated, fully sobbing at this point. She grabbed her hair, and pulled trying her best to remember but she just couldn't.

The doorbell rung, and Terrence opened it to see detectives.

"Goddamnit Gwenny. What the hell she'd do now?"

"We're sorry Mr.Blake, your daughter hasn't done anything."

"Is there any way we can speak with her?"

And so she was now sat in between two of the detectives, her dad stood.

And with Robin gone, Finney ran away from the bullies. He was punched, and knocked to the ground.

Gwen came running to him, with a rock. And punched one.

"I'll fuck you two up." She threw the rock, but one of the boys knocked her down. The other boy started bleeding.

"Gwen!"

Marie, who was passing by just happened to see the both of them She sighed and went over to them.

"Hey, Dickheads." They looked over to see her, and stopped doing what they were doing. No one messed with Marie, especially since she was Vance's girlfriend.
