Synopsis/plot: El gets her period
(Ages 16)
.............................................Eleven had been getting these bad stomach aches for a week now, Hopper had just been telling her that she had eaten to much Eggos but El refused to believe that nonsense.
Anyway, El was in her room drawing portraits of Daniel LaRusso from her new Star Hits magazine, as she was flipping through the pages her stomach began to hurt more and more. It felt as if she was being stabbed over and over again.
Hopper walked into her room, "El, breakfast!"
El nodded, "Okay, I'll be there in a couple minutes."
"Alright, see you then." He gave a little thumbs up and headed back to the kitchen.
El stood up to go head to breakfast but something didn't feel right..
El panicked, did I just pee my pants? She thought. She rushed to the bathroom and brought an extra pair of pants to check what was going on.
El looked down at her underwear and there she saw, blood. "AHHHH!"
Hopper reacted quick to the scream, "El, is everything okay?"
"No.." She sniffled.
He scratched his head, "what's up?"
El teared up, "I think I have cancer."
After Hop' heard that, he knew exactly what was going on.
Hopper sighed, "Pack up kid, you're staying with the Wheeler's for a week."
She raised an eyebrow, "huh?"
El went back into her room to pack her bag, she was still confused of why she was bleeding, or why she was going to the Wheeler's but she just did as her father told her to. El packed 7 shirts, 9 pairs of pants, cute butterfly hair clips that Max had gave her a month after she woke up from her coma, a notebook, a toothbrush, a brush, mascara, lipgloss, headbands, underwear (duh), socks, and her Kermit the Frog plush that Mike had gotten for her when she killed Vecna.
El met up with Jim in the kitchen, "Okay, I'm done."
"Alright, let me call Karen." He let out a sigh.
As he dialed her number he was thinking what to say and how to not make it sound weird. He didn't want it to seem like he didn't care about his daughter and that she was finally growing up but the problem was he didn't know what to do or buy!
"Hey Karen." He bit his lip.
Mrs. Wheeler yawned, "G'morning, what's up Jim?"
He fidgeted with his shirt, "Okay, I do not know how to say this.. but I believe El had started her menstrual cycle and I really don't know what to do to help. So if you don't mind, can I send El over for a week and can you take care of her for me? I'll send you 45 bucks to buy whatever she needs for her.. you know.."
"Sounds, Great!" She replied.
"Alright, see you in 5." He hung up.
