We make it to the Byers' home.
Joyce's and Jonathan's car already park out front. Everyone is still not daring to speak so we sit in silence once Hopper stops the car, not even the engine or faint tunes of blank fill the emptiness.
hopper eventually breaks the silence as he lets out a loud sigh opening the door
"come on guys" Steve says following after hopper
I've been so engulfed in the silence that I had forgotten that Lucas and I were stacked on top of each other. Dustin opens the door, leaving me and Lucas in the car
The air feels tense, which is weird because out of everyone in the party I feel safest with Lucas. It must just be the lingering awkwardness of the car ride.
"I-" "y- " me and Lucas speak, breaking the silence
"you first" i say looking at him
"I-" he starts to speak again
"guys come-on!" I jump from the sharpness of the voice I turn to the window and see Dustin standing outside looking lost. I know this look it the same look he had when he told us Mew's pee'd on this Atari.
Looking away from Dustin I see Lucas getting out the car I follow him not saying a word
We make it into the house, woah I freeze at the front door looking around the Byler home Lucas looks back at me I try to conceal my suprise as i take in my surroundings there christmas lights? And the alphabet? Above the couch and a patched up hole in the wall the house looks dim and forgotten.
We step into the kitchen and I can barley see the foral print among the wall because everything is covered in pieces of paper scribbled with crayon once I advert my eyes from Joyce's questionable choice of decorations
I see Will on the couch and Johnathan by his side comforting him with a worried face and Nancy beside johnathan wearing the same expression
I take a seat at the table Lucas taking the seat next to me and Mike the one across we sit there while dustin stands waiting for someone to give us our next call of action.
"Dr Sam Owen's." Hopper says into the phone growing more irritated by the minute. "I don't know who many people are there, I don't know how many people are left alive. I am the police CHIEF JIM HOPPER!" He yells
"They didn't believe you, did they?" Dustin says
"We'll see" hopper spits out suppressing is anger
""We'll see"? We can't just sit here while those things are loose." Mike yells
"We stay here, and we wait for help." He demands walking down the hall.
The room suddenly grows quiet and the walls grow calm although what's beyond is wild, scary and mysterious. The four of us sit at the table mouth full of questions and mind full of sorrow. A light creak from the worn down wooden stood breaks the eery silence that has fallen between us I look up to the see Mike strolling into the living room away from the table.
"Did you guys know that Bob was the original founder of Hawkins AV?" Mike ask making everyone look towards him.
"Really?"
"He petitioned the school to start it and everything." He turns towards us with a rubics in his hand.
"Then he had a fundraiser for equipment. Mr Clarke learned everything from him." Mike makes his way back to the table
