Girl Afraid (Dustin Henderson x reader)

Chapter 23

Y/n POV

Dustin, Erica and I, sat there watching as helicopters flew through the sky right towards the mall. We had no idea what had just happened but I hoped that everyone was safe.

"What do we do?" I asked them as I looked around at them. They didn't say anything. We had no ride to go somewhere and we were like stuck there.

...

A lot of things can happen in 3 months. Like a lot. For example, the night when Eleven killed the mind flayer, it also took Billy with it.

Max, didn't like to talk about it, which no one made her as well. She watched her brother die in her arms. Lucas told me that, because he watched it happen.

When Joyce and Hopper shut off the machine, Hopper died as well. Eleven, who was know an orphan, went to live with Joyce.

Now which brings us back to backing up the Byers house. Will was moving, that meant so was El. It was strange to watch your best friend back up everything and leave. But we all knew why.

It was also hard for Nancy because Johnathan was leaving as well. Which looked like both of my siblings love interests had left them. But not me, I still have Dustin.

"Turn around, look at what you see. In her face, the mirror of your dreams. Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds." Max and Lucas were singing. We wouldn't let the whole singing thing down.

"Wait, did we get that verse right? It's unfold behind the clouds?" Max asked, I couldn't help but giggle.

We were sitting in the living room Helping back away stuff. I thought it was funny even though Dustin and I didn't have a song together.

"Yeah, but you're butchering it, so could you please stop?" Dustin said as he throw something else in a box.

"So then join in, Dusty Bun" Lucas mocked as he blew kisses Dustin's way.

"Yeah, come on, Dusty Bun, why don't you join us?" Max asked.

"You guys are so funny, you should be on Carson." Dustin said with a straight face.

"How does Y/n feel, that you have a song with a different girl?" Max asked as she looked between us.

"Yeah, how come we don't have a song?" I asked him as I crossed his arms.

"That's not a very good boyfriend Dusty Bun" Lucas said as he shook his head.

"You're not off the hook either Lucas, Max told me all about it" I said with a smile as I looked Lucas's way.

"Hey! Mike shouldn't be off the hook either" Lucas said as he was a little embarrassed.

Eleven and Max told me all about what Mike and Lucas did to them. The lying was crazy and I did make sure to yell at Mike for it.

"Y/n, I'm 30 years, if we're both single because these two idiots have fucked up we should get married" Max said as she stood up and walked over to me.

"Of course" I said with a smile and hugged her.

"Ouch" Lucas said as he faked being hurt.

"Yeah, ouch" Dustin said as he but his hand over his heart.

"It's okay I still love you" I said as I walked over to Dustin and started kissing him all over his face.

"Aww!" Lucas said as he smiled and looked at us. "Max come here!" Lucas said as he got up and chased Max around the now empty house.

"No!" Max said as she screamed and ran away from him. I laughed as I watched them.

It was now time to say our goodbyes. When it was my time to hug Will I couldn't help but start crying.

"We promised, no tears" Will said as he hugged me tight. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

"You know me" I sniffed as he let go.

I walked over and went to Max and Eleven. I knew they were already crying and that's what made it worse.

"You guys are my best friends" I sobbed as I held on to them tight. I could feel them crying as well.

"Promise you won't find another red head and a h/c friends?" Max said into the hug.

"Promise" eleven said as she wiped the tears falling down her face.

I sat back and watched Nancy and Johnathan saying goodbye and then Eleven and Mike. I couldn't take it and I started to cry even more.

We watched as they drove away, I stood by Mike and I wrapped my arms around him and held him tight. I crowded into his arms. I knew he was staying strong because he didn't want to seem weak.

I stayed behind with Mike as everyone else rode away. I wasn't going to leave Mike. The strange thing is I felt exactly what he felt. We were twins, and we shared emotions. When he was sad, so was I and it was the same way with me.

"Ready to go home?" I asked him quietly as he stared there watching in the distance.

"Can we stay a little longer?" Mike asked me. I nodded and I stayed by his side.

"Of course" I said as I stood by his side. Even though he was a little taller, I tried to comfort him as best as possible.

He bent down and wrapped me up in a hug. He cried into my shoulder and it only made me hug him even tighter. I was upset he was hurting as well.

"She's gone" Mike whispered as he sobbed into my shoulder. "He's gone" Mike mumbled again as he held on to me tighter.

"I know, it's gonna be okay" I said as I rubbed his back, I didn't know what to say, and I was running out of things to say.

"No, it's not" Mike said as he sobbed even harder. There wasn't any words in the English language I could have said to make him feel better.

I'm sorry, Mike.
