THE OTHER SIDE OF HAWKINS

CHAPTER 1: THE BEGGINING

Dustin is in the upside down finding El after the fight. While in the middle of searching El, he incounter one gate he touched it and it look safe he then enter and went inside thinking she is in there.

When he enter the otherside it felt different. The place look like Hawkins but… its not ruined, looks peaceful and more alive, plus the people looks normal like- no “earthquick” happen…

He walk some miles wondering what the fv*k is going on… he finally reach to Lucas house, he knocked on the door, Erika opened it but she looks different, she looks older… Dustin is now more confused… Erika ask him why is he here, he looks at her and ask her; “where is Lucas, i need to talk to him” she let him in and said Lucas is in his room, he enter the house but before he went to the staircase Erika said something, she said “his with his girlfriend right now they probably busy so knocked before you enter, kay?”

Dustin looks more confused knowing Lucas and Max broke up and shes still in a coma and Lucas dont have a girlfriend yet, not that his aware of. He just noded and go to Lucas room, he knock but notice the door is opened, he enter the room and what he saw left him shock; it was Lucas and El… Lucas hands were around her waist and El's hand are around his neck while they are kissing.

after Dustin saw it, his mind blackout, seeing the woman he love is kissing his bestfriend… all his life, the girl he will always have a crush on will ended up having a crush on Lucas, first there is one back in grade school next was Max and now its El.

El notice Dustin is there so she than pulled away and wave at him and than greet him. Lucas turns at Dustin direction and also greeted him and said; "i didnt know your coming here Dust. Is there anything i can help you with?" he smiled but dustin stayed silent… he closed his fist gripping it so hard until his knuckles are white, he looks pale… about to snap.

El notice this she than realized something…Dustin is still in utah, ever since he got a driver licence he always go to utah to visit Suzie… meaning this "Dustin" right infront of them is not their Dustin, but different.

El know this Dustin is about to snap so she step up in the middle and ask this Dustin some question; "how did you get here?" Dustin look at El whos hair started to grow and its curly, he calm down and then told them how he really got here.

El understand it now that this is Dustin alternative version and probably in his universe shes dating him thats why he looks angry when he saw him kissing Lucas.

El explain their are from another universe to Dustin. The boy is shock and replied; "woah, what? wait- so how did i got here then and how did this place isnt ruined?" El explain to him that upside down is in between the reality and eternity and nothing is impossible there, she than told Dustin that after killing their vecna she made a wish that what is ruined will be fix and all the gates that can lead to them to be closed.

“Neat. And if you, El-two is able to kill Vecna then my El would be able to do it, too!” Dustin stated, smiling proudly at El, making her smile at her antics.

It was, more than weird, that situation. And it was making him incredibly anxious and maybe a little angry. He wasn’t sure how to exactly behave. Logically, he knew that it wasn’t his place to say anything. It was a different universe. But at the same time, the urge to say something was huge.

“Man, every El is the best El. Right?” Lucas wiggled his brows and the girl giggled sweetly. Dustin didn’t have to be super smart to realize that it was her behaviour towards the person she romantically loves. This time, his other friend. It hurt more than Vecna’s attacks, and yet he couldn’t do anything.

“Yeah…” He responded weakly, looking at the little to no space between lover’s knees.

El, being older and more mature in this world, realized that right now, Dustin isn’t even mad. He’s just upset, and as his friend, she cannot bare to see him this sad.
