I rocked my head to the beat as Def Leppard's Photograph played from the turntable on my nightstand. I was on my stomach, laying on my bed with Mews curled up next to me taking a nap. As I flipped a page of The Dark Tower: The Gun Slinger, I heard a loud banging on my wall.
"Lower it down, Dawn!" Daniel yelled.
"What? You want me to turn it up louder?" I screamed back. Sitting up, I leaned towards my player and turn the music louder with a grin. There was a slam of a door. Seconds later, my door opened revealing my twin brother.
"Turn it down. I can't think over that loud music." Danny glowered at me. Sighing, he ran a hand through his messy curls. "Please? I'm writing a new song for the band and I need to finish it by tonight."
"Wait, you still haven't finished the song?" I sat up and lowered my music. "How far are you?"
"Almost done, just need to finish the last verse." Danny said, leaning against my door frame with his arms crossed.
"It's PG, right? You know Mom and Dustin go to our shows. And you know that Dusty brings his friends with him, too." I told him.
"Of course it's PG. I don't need a lecture from you." Danny rolled his eyes. "Wait, talking about Dusty, shouldn't he be home by now? Mom should be done cooking dinner."
"He's probably on his way now. I know he mentioned that they were planning on finishing the campaign for D and D tonight at Mike's house." I shrugged.
"Daniel! Dawn! Dinner time, babies!" Mom called from the kitchen. Getting off of my bed, I turned off my music.
"If he isn't back by the time I finish eating, I'm picking him up from the Wheeler's." Danny said before leaving my room. I looked at Mews and rubbed his ear before following after my brother. Mom was serving our plates as I entered the kitchen.
"Dawny, honey, can you check outside to see if you see Dusty?"
"Of course Mom." I smiled, walking towards the front door. Opening it up, I walked outside to see Will Byer speed past our house on his bike. Dustin stopped his bike at the beginning of our neighborhood road.
"I'll take your X-Men 134!" Dustin called out. "Son of a bitch."
"Language, Dustin!" I scolded. Dustin turned to face me, giving me a cheeky smile showing off his two missing teeth. He rode up to our house, jumping off of his bike.
"Hi Dawny." Dustin greeted as he put his bike next to the front door. His hat fell off, causing him to curse while he picked it up and dust off any dirt. I gave him a look causing him to send me another smile. "Sorry. Did Mom finish cooking dinner?"
