"SO, IF I'M HEARING THIS RIGHT," Heather began as soon as her younger brother finished his story. The rain had started to fall once again so they had quickly scrambled back through the window and into Heather's room, "There's currently some random bald girl who says "Yes" and "No" and nothing else living in Mike Wheeler's basement? And she tried to get undressed in front of you?"
Daniel sighed, "Pretty much. I-it's bogus I know! But it's happening, I swear! I don't, I don't know what to do! Mike doesn't wanna tell his mom, but I had to tell someone! My life is so fucked right now, Heather!"
"First of all, language. Second of all, quiet down or mom will hear us!" Heather hushed, "Holy shit! This is like really happening, right?"
"Yeah."
"Why'd you tell me?"
"I mean, you told me you had a crush on Steve Harrington, so I suppose it was only fair," Daniel joked with a coy smile, running a hand through his messy curls. They had finally dried from the rain, making them an even bigger mess than usual.
Heather gasped, "I did not say I had a crush on him!"
"He has a girlfriend and you're jealous! That counts!" the boy argued with a giggle. His sister's response was to throw a pillow at him which he caught right as it hit his face. "No, I told you because you're my sister and I trust you. Even if you are mean sometimes."
The two went silent, both remembering the harsh words Heather had spoken to her brother earlier that night.
"Did you mean it?" Daniel asked, his voice a whisper, "What you said?"
Heather sighed, searching her brain for something to say that wouldn't hurt her brother. "It's only been a day, there's a chance he's out there and he probably is, okay? But I think you should focus on that girl. I mean, she shows up right as Will goes missing? I mean, call me crazy, but that's a little suspicious, isn't it?"
"Yeah, yeah it is."
"Well, we'll deal with it in the morning, all right? We should get some sleep."
"Heather?" Daniel's voice was soft, more so than usual. She raised her eyebrow to signal she was listening, "Can, can I sleep in here tonight?"
She smiled and nodded, "Sure."
THE NEXT MORNING, the first thing Heather did was pull Veronica into the nearest bathroom.
