After school, the group was now biking home. Jordan has managed to keep his urges under control though he still felt antsy.. actually he internally felt like he was gonna be sick and it didn't help that the others were constantly teasing Sam about her crush on Justin, who she also called Jay. Something that kinda annoyed him as he considered that nickname special.. but the girl was in love so he let it slide.
Looking to his right, he could see Lucas with a similar annoyed expression on his face. He wondered what that was about.
He'd have his Walkman on to drown them out but he didn't need to give himself a headache on top of this. He wondered if he had any more cough syrup at home-
"Uh guys?"
He then heard an engine roar behind them. Looking behind them, he spotted the same blue Camaro from the other day heading towards them. "Again??!"
"What do you mean again?" Maya asked.
"This same psycho almost ran me over before," Jordan explained.
"And I think he plans to do the same this time" Sam's eyes widened as the vintage car got closer.
"We're cooked," Jordan nodded.
"SHIT!"
"MOVE MOVE!"
"WE NEED TO HAUL ASS!"
"HE'S GONNA FUCKING KILL US"
"I CAN'T DIE, MADONNA HASN'T KISSED ME YET!"
For that moment it seemed like every other sensation in Jordan's body was forgotten as his legs were working overtime to get him further away from the Camaro.. which was stupid cause how the hell could any of their bikes outrun something with an engine?
"OFF THE ROAD NOW!" Sam immediately served her bike to the right and onto the plot of grass. The rest of the group all did the same. Jordan last of all as the Camaro grazed his leg the slightest bit right before he swerved completely and fell over.
The Buckley immediately got to his feet and raised his middle finger to the passing vehicle. "People like you need jail time and exorcism, fuckwad!"
Jordan instantly fell back to the grass, hand on his chest as he caught his breath from that near death experience.
"Guys, call me crazy but.." Sam looked at him. "I think Max was in that car"
Jordan felt himself freeze
"I'm sorry.. what?"

Melissa Buckley was a trooper.
Working multiple jobs a day just to make sure they had enough to get by was something she'd submitted herself to long ago. Soon enough Robin decided to get a job herself to help with the finances and as much as she appreciated the thought, Melissa wasn't happy with the thought of her children starting to work so early. Robin however was incredibly stubborn and decided to help anyway.
Melissa could only hope her second child didn't start picking up any ideas from this. She wanted him to enjoy his childhood as much as possible. She was glad he had a good friend group and never got into anything too dangerous.. but she started to worry during the whole Will Byers situation last year. It seemed to have shaken Jordan up so much, he'd had to sleep with either her or Robin for a few months after. He was scared to go out for a while as well.. she tried to be there for him as much as she could, which was hard when he wouldn't tell her much.. even though his eyes always let her know there was a lot he had to say.
So one could imagine how glad she was when she'd heard that he was attending a sleepover tonight.
"I thought you weren't going trick or treating" she said as she got herself ready for her night shift.
