Rosalyn Henderson loved her brother and mother and that why she hated how she felt trapped by responsibilities that someone her age shouldn't have. Because of those responsibilities, she was going to be trapped in this feeling of misery forever. It...
Lyn dragged herself out of bed. She smoked a bowl last night with Steve, hoping it could help her headaches and nightmares. It did dull the headaches but it didn't keep the nightmares away. She dreamed of all the death that the Upside Down caused. With each death, a loud tick-tock of a clock sounded off. There were people she didn't know. All the agents were ripped to shreds as the demo dogs came out of the portal. All the people that the mind flares use to create the giant monster. The one that terrified her the most was Chrissy being lifted into the air: Her limbs breaking, her eyes sinking in, her jaw breaking. "Fuck." She grabs a pre-rolled joint. She opened the window before lighting it up. The other death made sense, the Upside-Down haunting her was logical. She was racked with guilt. If she figured out that dart was a Demogorgon, they would have known a portal was open. Maybe they could have figured out Will needed help sooner. If she could have figured out that Billy was possessed maybe she could have saved those people from the mind flay.
She didn't know why she was dreaming about Chrissy being brutally murdered by an invisible force. Was she subconsciously jealous of Chrissy because she saw her with Eddie? That didn't make sense. She didn't think about that guy since graduation until Dustin brought him up. Was she the type of person that wanted her sort of ex to be unhappy even though she treated him horribly? It wasn't like she didn't have other dark evil thoughts.
"I'm so fuck up." She inhaled deeply before letting it out with a small cough. Sure, before Steve, she imagined what it would be like to be in a real relationship with Eddie. He would get his shit together and graduate. He'd get into the mechanic program at the community college. "Stop." She cursed herself for daydreaming about it. She was happy with Steve, so why was her brain reminding her of past hopes? She had no reason to be wondering about what ifs.
She put out the joint to go to the bathroom. She brushes her teeth. She spits out the toothpaste and lowered her head to rinse her mouth. She lifted her head to look at the mirror and let out a scream when she saw Dustin."What the hell?" She turns around to smack him.
"Why does your room smell like Eddie's van?" He asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She pushed past him and slammed the door.
"You alright dear, I heard a scream." Her mom was in the hallway.
"Dustin scared me." She told her.
"Oh, did you sleep better tonight?" She asked.
"Yeah, great." She smiled. "I'm going to change and walk Zoey."

"ROSALYN," Claudia yelled for the daughter when she heard the door open. "ROSALYN, DEAR COME AND LOCK THE DOOR!"
She locked the door and went into the living room. "What's going on?" She let Zoey off her leash and she ran to get a drink of water.
"There has been another death." She turned up the news.
Their local news reporter, Beverly Moss, was on the screen. "We're in the Forest Hill trailer park in east Roane County. We don't have a lot of details but we can confirm that the body of a Hawkins High student was discovered early this morning. Police have not released a name although we are told they're currently in the process of notifying the family. We also don't know yet if foul play was involved. But whatever has occurred here is sure to touch a nerve across Hawkins."
