3rd POV:
Hopper was outside the cabin, having a cigarette to calm his nerves, while waiting for El to get back. As he was finishing his cigarette he saw the familiar curly hair walking up to the cabin.
That was when it all kicked off.

Ivy's POV:
I was awoken by the sound of shouting through my door and I knew that El was home. This is the whole reason that I tried to find her and bring her back before Hopper knew. I knew that he would react like this and it would be another fight between the two of them. Sometimes it feels like I am not even there, not that I want to be in the fights but they have a tendency to only pay attention to one another. Hopper pays more attention to El because she is more of a flight risk with how badly she wants to see the boys and he doesn't want her being captured by the lab again. While El pays more attention to Hopper to try and get him to let her out.
There is no where for me to fit into their little family. It makes me miss our old family and think about Henry and what would have happened if I didn't leave the Upside Down and I stayed with him there. Would we be a family? Would he be my older brother again?
After sitting there for a minute thinking over everything I hear the shouting get louder and got off my bed to listen through the door.
"Yeah, nothing ever happens and you stay SAFE!" I hear Hopper yell, slamming his hand on something.
"You lie!" El shouts back.
"I don't lie! I protect and I feed and I teach! And all I ask of you is that you follow three simple rules. Three rules. And you know what? You can't even do that!"
It goes quiet for a minute and I poke my head out of my door, hoping that they are done and that is the end of it. Hopefully they stopped before they both get too riled up and it ends up worse.
"You're grounded. You know what that means?" Hopper starts to say and I knew that was not going to be the end of it. This would be another fight that ends terribly.
"It means no Eggo's..." He says, walking over to the fridge, taking them out and slamming them onto the side.
"And no TV for a week." He says, walking over to the TV to move it.
It's like he forgets that El isn't the only one that watches it to learn. I do too.
When he goes to lift the TV it doesn't move. I look and see El outside her door staring at the TV with blood dripping out her nose. She wasn't letting him move it.
The last time something like this happened, they didn't speak to each other for a week and I had to make food for each of them at different times or they wouldn't eat. The sad part about them arguing is they are both as stubborn as each other and it means that when they argue, they won't speak to each other for a while, both holding grudges. And I am the one stuck in the middle because when they do realise I am there they both expect me to take their sides.
