According to your dad Billy didn't come by and when you called his house Max told you that he hadn't come home, at Eddie's nobody picked up ' I swear, he can be such a prick.' you thought going to sleep. You could not sleep, your mind instead dueling on the foreign message that you had heard on Dustin's radio, you frowned feeling that old wound on your leg burning. Getting up you searched around for a Russian-English dictionary you were sure you had, taking it out of the pile of books by pulling it and causing the small tower to fall you went and grabbed the recorder and a notebook, in hopes to decipher what ever the hell you caught.
It was hopeless, you spent all night trying to figure out something but you only caught the world cat. The sun had risen and you had to get ready for work " Morning." you mumbled getting down to the living room " Morning." replied Hopper while El was too busy dialing Mike's number on the phone, his mother yelling his name from the other line being a dead give away.
Once the boy picked up your sister went to the other room and closed the door, leaving it 3 inches open as per rule, you watched the door, taking a bite from the toast Hopper gave you " Did they get into a fight?" you asked the police officer, who was looking cheery this morning " Nope. Everything is good." he said flipping another toast " Yea.....What did you do?" you asked him and he looked at you with mock offense " Absolutely nothing." he said and while humming his favorite song placed a kiss on your head and went off to work.
You looked at the front door in suspicion wondering if Mike's sudden disappearance was connected to Billy's, you could hear " Don't mess around with Jim" playing from your father's car " Shit." you spat looking at the time. El opened her door " Can you drive me to Max's?" she asked looking a bit upset, you looked at the clock and sighed " Fine, let's go, let's go." you said motioning for her to move quickly and placing a helmet on her head as she exited the house.
Parking Betty you run in the swimming pool " You're late~" sang Heather and you apologized as you sprinted to the changing rooms. You changed with Tammy who flipped you off and sat on your chair ' Another packed day.' you thought seeing the people, you saw Billy and you grabbed Tammy by the strap " Sorry but I have to go to the restroom . Can you sit another 5?" you asked her and the girl gave you a glare " Are you serious? I have a date." she complained and you gave her a pleading look " Just 5. Pleaaaaase." you begged and she sighed " You're giving me that red nail polish you got for later." she said as you almost jumped down " Thank you." you said.
" Billy?" you called walking in the back where you kept the supplies for the pool, you went into the storage room finding the boy placing a bottle of chemicals back to the self, the cup open ' Was he....drinking that?' you thought chills running down your spine " Billy?" you mumbled but the boy didn't answer. You approached him cautiously " You didn't come last night so I called. Max said you didn't return home and Eddie didn't pick up." you said softly placing your hand on his back and running it up his shoulder " Is everything ok?" you asked giving his shoulder a light squeeze.
The boy turn around abruptly causing you to take a step back, you examined his appearance, he was drenched in sweat, trembling slightly, eyes half lidded " I'm fine. Leave me." he said in a cold tone before passing you and heading out. You stood on your spot for a bit before approaching the shelf, a drop was running down the open bottle, the cap thrown on the ground " What the hell is going on?" you wondered fearing the worse.
You were let go earlier since Heather wanted to work overtime to take the next week off, her father was going to take her and her mother on a vacation. Sitting on top of Betty you failed to spot Billy's Camaro, your mind racing to his strange behavior, not only back in the storage room but the whole day ' He looked like he was in pain.' you thought, turning the key and speeding off.
Eddie was just closing the door to his trailer " EDDIE!" you called throwing the door open making the boy yell in fright " Shit! Sweetheart you scared the shit out of me!" he said hand on his chest to stop his racing heart " Missed me so much that you had to rush here?" he asked with a grin as you passed him and went to his room " Did Billy come by last night?" you asked looking around " No. Why?" he asked watching you from the doorway " Did you give him anything or did you have anything here that he could take?" you asked. Eddie took hold of your hand and turned you around " You know I would never give him anything that could harm him. I don't carry that staff here. Why? What's wrong?" he asked you.
Plopping on the bed you run your hand threw your head " He was supposed to come at my place yesterday, after he pulled some dumb shit. But he didn't show up, I called at his place, Max said he wasn't there. I called here, nobody picked up. Today at work he....he was out of it. He told me to leave him be and he looked....sick." you said and the metalhead placed his hand on your back " You know it's normal for people to get sick or be under the weather." he said giving your cheek a peck " He want's to get the hell out of here as fast as possible so he probably decided to come to work even if he felt sick. Don't worry to much about it." he said.
You were worrying to much about it, parking Betty you went inside your home. Going into the bathroom you closed the door and opened the sink " This isn't right but...." you mumbled to yourself covering your eyes with a random cloth. Finding yourself in a dark space you took small steps forward, you had only tried it a few times for shits and giggles with El, you walked and walked and walked but reached nowhere " Come on." you grumbled looking around. Having no results you decided to turn back, you closed your eyes and opened them again only to be faced with the darkness " Shit." you spat " Shitshitshit!" you cursed and a scream ripped threw your throart.
Falling to your knees you clenched your leg only to find your hands covered in blood " If you only had someone to guide you properly." said a familiar voice, you let out a shaky breath as a comforting hand was placed on your shoulder. With hesitation you turned around, meeting blue eyes you swallowed a lump in your throat " It's been a while." he said, his hand going from your shoulder to your chin.
You shot awake, throwing the cloth away from your eyes, panting heavily on the bathroom floor you looked around glad to find yourself in your home. Pushing yourself up you had to hold yourself from the bathroom sink, blood had run from your nose down your chin, cleaning yourself you splashed some cold water in your face. Music could be faintly heard from El's room and you went to see if she was with Mike, instead you found her with Max looking threw a couple magazines.
" Hey girls." you greeted them and the two greeted you back " Are those new?" you asked pointing at El's clothes, the girl gave a hesitant nod " They suit you, if you were planning to go shopping you should have told me." you said " You won't tell Hop?" she asked and you gave her a look " What have we said?" you asked her and El smiled " Sisters ain't snitches." she said and you nodded " Exactly." you said and sighed " El about the gate...." you said making the kids raise an eyebrow " Are you sure you closed it? Completely? Didn't leave a single crack open?" you asked her and she nodded looking confused " Did something happen?" she asked and you knew that you couldn't lie to the girl " Have seen a few weird things. But it could not be related to that. So don't worry." you said ruffling her hair.
Saying goodnight to the two girls you laid down on your bed and looked at your ceiling " Maybe tomorrow things will be better, maybe I was just seeing stuff in my head. Yea...I was too stressed and fucked up the mind traveling thing." you mumbled trying to comfort yourself. You closed your eyes falling asleep.
