Days

"It's day 41. It's Christmas Eve El! Tomorrow is Christmas Day! Do you remember me telling you about Christmas when you found that scrapbook picture of me and Nancy under the Christmas Tree? We got our first snow today. Snow is frozen water, but its soft and you can play in it. It falls from the sky and covers everything. I wish you were here, so we could share Christmas. We all miss you. Dustin was talking about you today. I was a little upset but I didn't show it. If you're hearing this El, please come home. Please."

"Evening El. It's day 71. A arcade is opening up in Hawkins. It's a place where you can play games, like Pacman! Remember me telling you about it? Nancy is still dating that Steve guy. Now my parents know about it she doesn't have to sneak out, but she still does sometimes. I think he's a douche, but it's not like Nancy ever listens to what people tell her. I'm pretty sure Jonathan likes her. Do you remember him? He's Will's brother. Will always asks to hear the stories about you over and over again, I wish you two could've met. My mom is making my favourite dinner tonight. I think she feels sorry for me. Or maybe she's just trying to get me to behave better. Who knows. I miss you."

"Hey El, it's Mike. It's day 105. Holly has started a dog phase. She crawls around the house barking and eats her meals without a knife or fork. My mom gets fed up with it, but nothing she does can make her stop. I think it's sweet. My mom is also mad at me. I keep acting up. I don't mean to, I just- I don't know. Sometimes I just hope you're watching, you know? I still have your fort up. I got in trouble last night cause I slept in here instead of my bed. I hope you don't mind."

"Hey El. It's day 235. I got in trouble again today at school. Neither of my parents seem to care at this point. Their idea of punishment is either making me give away stuff or ignoring me. Nancy is becoming more distant. I thought we would be closer cause of everything that has happened, but I guess not. You were on my mind all day. I couldn't focus. This happens some days. Especially in Science. It's hard to look at where you disappeared. We all want you home. We all miss you, me the most. Hopper's constantly on edge every time I see him. Dunno why. He's often at Will's, he and Will's mom seem to be good friends. I've slept in your fort every night this week. My mom has given up on trying to stop me. She gets mad all time though. She just doesn't understand, she never really has. My dad just sits on his ass all day, so he doesn't really count as a parent. The only person I wanna see is you El. Please answer one of these days."

"El? It's Mike. It's day 321. I had a horrible day. I really wish you were here. The guys saw me cry over you today. They were supportive, and they understand more than anyone. It's so hard without you here. The mouth breathers at school pick on us less since you broke Troy's arm, so that's a positive. It's just been a crappy day today. I just couldn't hold it together. All I wanted was to come home and lie in your fort. El I- I need you El. I need you. If you're out there please, please come home. I need you. And now I'm crying. Crap."
