Our love will be pass on

Robin's Pov☽

As soon as I was able to calm down Steve I walked over and bent down beside Dustin to look at Eddie. "We want to know what happened," I told him truthfully. We all wanted to know what had actually happened that night because what if some crazy shit had came back? Something we thought we had closed up last summer was now back again and we can have it running around Hawkins anymore.

"You won't believe me," Eddie let out with a sniffle before looking back at all of us in front of him.

"Try us," I heard Max chime in from the back. I listened to what he told us had happened and it was nothing like what we dealt with last summer, but non the less we all believed him. After we all heard him out Dustin offered him a safer place to stay than where he was, so we all loaded up in the car with Eddie tucked down in the back.

Steve dropped Dani and I off at her house, so now we're both just standing outside her door. I took a deep breath in before turning to look at her, as she was still looking out at her driveway into the night sky. "Dani, we need to talk, well I need to talk to you," I told her fiddling with the rings plastered on my fingers. She turned around and I could see some anxiety lingering on her face.

I grabbed her hand and brought her to the steps of her porch before having us both sit down. "When I ask you this...I need you to be completely honest with me, ok?" I moved my gaze from her hand to her beautiful brown eyes.

"Robin, you're scaring me," she replied letting out a nervous laughter.

"Are you sleeping or eating? I mean you seem tired all the time and like well for example you kept nodding off in the car on the way there in back, but didn't let yourself go to sleep. And I just feel I haven't seen you touch food in a while," I'm usually not someone to confront someone about everything, but I'm really worried about her. Everyday I can see it in her face that she's slowly fading away.

"I'm fine, ok. I'm sleeping and eating perfectly normal. You don't have to worry," Dani replied before standing up beside me, "Maybe you should go home. You don't want your parents to get worried" she stated before walking into her house leaving me outside in the darkness. I felt bad confronting her like that, but I needed to know the truth, I need her to talk to me about what's actually going on in her life. She's stopped our serious conversations by just kissing me and then doing other stuff. She never wants to talk anymore.

But I don't want to pry so I do as she said. I get on my bike and bike home in the cold. I could feel the wind hitting my cheeks as I road down the streets. Small tears formed before falling down my cheek, which only made me colder. As soon as I was home I dropped my bike on my driveway and walked inside.

"Robin?!"

I could hear my mom call out but I just went upstairs and took off the numerous layers I was wearing before plopping down in my bed. I hate being lied to especially when it is someone I care so much about. Hot tears streamed down my face as I thought about mine and Dani's short conversation. I am so scared for her and what is going on in her mind I just wish she felt like she could still talk to me about it. I laid silently in my bed until my eyes shut.

My mind was still racing with thoughts of her until I heard something hit my window. My body immediately froze not wanting to move a muscle in case someone had broke in, but that was until I heard my name being said in small whispers and silent sobs. I turned around and saw Dani coming through my window with messy hair and a sweater with pj pants.

I sat up in my bed as I watched her walk over to me, her breath smelt like alcohol and her tears were wet. "What's going on baby?" I whispered as my hands played with her hair as she laid her head down on my chest. "It's almost 3am, is everything ok? Are you ok?" I asked worried about all the possibilities that could have led her to come here in the middle of the night.

"My parents caught me drinking and were really pissed. They yelled at me like never before and I started crying and they found out about stuff I had done and I...I don't know. I just couldn't be there," Dani spoke in fragments as her words were broken by the sobs leaving her.

"What do you mean, stuff you had done?" I'm so nervous for whatever answer she was going to give me. My body was terrified to hear the things she put herself through.

"I can't tell you. You'll look at me differently" was all Dani said before snuggling herself into my body. I could feel her tears on my t-shirt but I didn't care. I just want her to be safe and to know she's loved.

"I won't. Please tell me" I whispered as I was still playing with her beautiful curly hair. But I was never met with a response. Her sobs silenced and breathing steadied as well as her grasp on my hand let loose, she had fallen asleep for the first time in days. I didn't move an inch because I didn't want to wake her. I kept doing the same thing I was doing until I fell asleep too.
