After the Fall

The Great monument of Will Byers (Angst)

Everyone begins to get dressed, everyone setting their clocks for 10 AM because Johnathan wanted them to be there at 11 to start taking pictures. Johnathan also wanted them to dress fancy, treating this as a special moment. It is a special moment, because truth be told Dustin Lucas and Mike has been avoiding the monument for awhile now. Don't get them wrong, they definitely visited the monument from time to time to admire it, admire Will, but there was many things that has been left unspoken, many things that have kept buried inside.

Today is the day that they have to face those feelings, face those different emotions. Dustin Mike and Lucas look at themselves in the mirror, wearing a suit and tie and fixing up their tie, looking at themselves in the mirror. It seems like it is a look of inner character, then questioning to themselves who they truly are, and if they are honestly ready for this.

"Has Lucas been acting...weird?" Eleven questions, both her and Max sitting on the couch to wait for the boys to come down. Eleven wears a blue floral long sleeved dress that comes to her ankles, Max wearing a yellow spaghetti strap sundress that comes to her knees with a jacket over it.

Max nods, never seen her and Lucas got up this morning she can tell he was a little down, she knows it is because of Will. "Yeah, Mike has been acting weird I guess as well."

Eleven nods, looking down slightly. "I'm worried."

Max takes her hand. "Me too, but we will be there for them. What they need right now is emotional support, and we will be there to give them that."

Eleven nods, going to lean her head on Max's shoulder. Soon Suzie comes into the living room, wearing a purple dress with her hair in pigtails, purple ponytail holders holding them up. "I picked some green flowers for all of us to wear, I know they were Will's favorite color." Suzie mentions, going to hand both Max and Eleven a small green flower with a clip at the bottom. Both Eleven and Max go to put one on the side of their heads, Suzie already having one placed there as well.

"Thanks Suzie, that was a good idea." Max compliments.

Suzie smiles, still holding the flowers for the others. Suzie knows everything, Dustin made sure to tell her everything and what she really gave planes constant and helped out Mike for. To say Suzie was shocked as an understatement, she thought stuff like this only happened in the movies. She is glad that he trusted to confide in her, she is happy to be apart of this household.

Soon enough the boys come out, all of them dressed in suit and ties. Max and Eleven go to stand up, giving them a small smile. Suzie goes to hand them the flowers, then putting it in the pocket of their suit jacket.

"Nancy says she'll be here in a few minutes." Mike mentions while holding the radio, handing it to El for her to put it in her bag.

Everyone just nods in reply, each of them glancing at each other and not saying a word. They all know that they are all thinking about the exact same thing, but none of them want to be first to speak. They can all feel the deep feeling forming in their hearts, the dropping feeling in their stomach, like doing down on a big drop on a rollercoaster, like free falling in down to hard pavement ground. It honestly feels like a day they have all been putting off.

"Mike? We are outside." Nancy says from the radio, cutting away from the silence.

"Alright. Everyone ready?" Mike questions, everyone nodding and beginning to make their way to the door. Nancy sits in the drivers side while Robin is in the passenger side. Lucas Mike and Dustin sit in the back while Suzie Max and Eleven are in the far back.

"Seatbelts." Nancy mentions, going to start up the car and drive to the downtown area.

Robin turns to her back, seeing all of them dressed up. "Everyone is looking great today, I'm digging the flowers as well." Robin says while pointing at the flowers. "Ahh green, the color that has strong associations with nature. It brings to mind the lush grass trees and forest. Did you know green is often described as refreshing and a tranquil color?" Robin rambles. "It is also later described as common associations like money, coming to terms as greed and-"
