TWENTY-ONE | HERE WE GO AGAIN

Olivia wakes up on her first day of Spring Break. Her last Spring Break as a student at Hawkins High. She looks over at the time and it's pretty late in the day. Thankfully her parents didn't try to wake her up since they stayed out last night going to Championship Game.

She decides to grab her bathing suit to lay around in her pool for a little bit. She looks up at the top of the dresser to see a photo of her and Billy. It used to be on the nightstand but she moved to to the dresser about 4 months ago.

She finally had the courage to move it to the dresser. She has accepted that Billy is gone and he's never coming back.

Olivia walks out to the backyard, turns on some music, grabs her inflatable pool mattress and gets in the water. Her sunglasses goes over her eyes but she still closes them anyway.

If this is how her vacation is going to be, she can handle this. Just nice and calm and—

"Olivia!"

"Sweet Jesus!" Olivia gets startled and falls off the mattress, into the pool.

She emerges from the water and wipes her eyes to see more clearly. She sees Steve, Robin, Dustin and Max standing next to her pool.

"Dustin? What the fuck?!"

"Sorry." He apologizes. "We need your help." She sighs.

"Is it with your girlfriend or something because if you couldn't tell, I'm on vacation."

"You didn't see the news?" Robin asks. Olivia's eyebrows furrow.

"No... I don't like watching the news. It's usually the bad stuff they report the most. Why? What is it? What's wrong?"

Dustin sighs.

"It's Eddie."

Eddie breathes heavily as he hides in an empty boat, under a tarp.

He hears voices outside of the shed and the door creaks open.

"Hello? Is anyone home?" He hears a girl's voice say.

"This place is a dump."

The flicker of flashlights come through the tarp.

He feels someone hit him with something.
