I definitely recommend Listening to "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" while reading this 🤗! VVV

It was time for Joyce and Hopper to head home back to their kids, they were all packed up and heading back to Hawkins.

Hopper decided to turn on the radio and  'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' started playing, hopper started humming the song reminding him of prom in 1960 with Joyce. He remembers everything her red dress and how her hair was styled differently that day, but what he mainly remembers is that beautiful kiss they shared in his car while sharing cigarettes.

June 30, 1960

He saw her. Her in that beautiful dress and how  she looked so perfect, but she was with him. Lonnie Byers.

Hopper sat their in a distance admiring her, he was drinking the fruit punch Benny had intoxicated with alcohol, he sat their getting drunk.

Joyce walked up to get some drinks for her and Lonnie. "hey" she whispered giving him a light smile. He looked up at her "hey.."
He was quiet and it broke her heart, but it was her fault.. she told him to stay away from her, but she never meant to hurt him lonnie had threatened to beat the living shit out of him if they continued talking.

"You look beautiful" hopper said

Her voice broke, she couldn't say those too words. "Thank you.." she whispered as a tear escaped her eye, he gave her a light nod. She wanted to say more she needed to say more, she needed to say that she loves him. But she just couldn't. "I have to go" she said.

After many songs lonnie walked away from Joyce, he had gotten all drunk. So she sat down next to hopper.

"Can we talk?" She asked him, he made eye contact with her. She was desperate to talk too him.

"Yeah" he said, they stood up and walked out. It was raining a bit so they went in his car.

He pulled out a cigarette and lid it up, he passed it too her,  "hop!"  She chocked out she will forever hate his unfiltered cigarettes, he let out a chuckle with a stupid scrawny grin. She saw how his smile disappeared, "I miss you" he whined "I miss you too,hop".

They sat in silence thats how they comforted eachother sharing cigarettes back and forward. He touched her hand and soothed it with his thumb, he tucked her hair in back of her ear, he couldn't get enough of her dazzling eyes. "May I kiss you?" He asked.

She looked up and shot him a smile "yes!".

They kissed. Everything was perfect, it felt so magical.
"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" started playing on the radio, they pulled apart. She let out a beautiful smile her nose started to scrunch up, he loved that about her.

"We should go back inside" he told her.

"Five more minutes please?" She pleaded, looking up at him. "Okay, only five more minutes though. Then we have to go inside."

She cuddled up next him, she loved the smell of his cheap cologne. he planted a kiss on the crown of her head.

She laughed at his singing, he saw her nose scrunch up and he loved it.

"Remember prom?" He asked her "how we shared our first kiss in the back of my car"

"Yeah! It was such a perfect kiss."

"Really?! You think it was?" He asked her, super curious.

"Yea I do... don't you think it was perfect?"
She asked him sounding irritated, "i mean it was good but i our kisses now are way better and more intimate". She looked at him annoyed and slapped his shoulder in a playfully way "oh shut up!". He let out a chuckle.
