Always: a Jopper Fanfiction (discontinued)

Talk

After the eventful breakfast, everyone decided to go back to the motel. El, Will, and Jonathan went right to their room, leaving Joyce and Hopper by themselves.

"Hey, Hop?" Joyce asked.

"What's up?" He replied

"Can we talk?"

Hopper gulped. He knew that either meant something really good or really bad was about to happen. He decided to find out. How bad could it be?

"Ever since I rescued you from that Russian prison... things have been different. I don't know what they did to you in there, but I just want you to know that you'll always have me. No matter what happens, I'll be there for you. Never forget that." Joyce said to him.

"Joyce I... I don't know how to feel. Of course it's been different. They torture you nonstop, and feed you nothing but moldy bread and watery soup! It was impossible! I would've died in there if it wasn't for you, Joyce. I-I love you."

Joyce stood there in shock. There was no way. Jim Hopper loved her? They had kissed one time. It was lovely, Joyce remembered. But she didn't think anyone could ever love her... she was just a single mom with 2 biological kids and one adopted one. She was a mess. But she had to admit that she loved him too.

"What?" Was all she could say.

This was all he needed to hear. He knew she could love him. He was just a pathetic, traumatized, ex-chief. Maybe if he had just told her a year earlier, maybe, just maybe she could love him back. "I shouldn't have said that. I'm so sorry Joyce." He said before leaving.

Joyce was crying, begging for him to come back, but she knew he wouldn't. She had lost him forever. None of this would've happened if it wasn't for her. She felt so stupid. She slammed the door shut and screamed into her pillow. She didn't care if there were other people in the motel. All that mattered is that Hopper was gone and he wasn't coming back.

A/N I had to put some drama somewhere... anywayssssss I just want ST5 to come out so I can see them again. I'm literally going insane over this. Also... my ears really hurt from headphones but I guess I deserve it... right?

Have a nice day/night
