"Dustin! Dustin!" going to the garage seeing him getting on his bike "Dustin!" he jumped as he held his chest "Jesus! You almost gave me a heart attack." chuckling as I shake my head "Hey, I won't be going home tonight. I might stay at Hopper's place." he smirked as he nodded his head.

"Sure! Will tell mom."

Arriving at Jim's trailer noticing how all of the windows were broken. What the hell happened? Upon letting myself in Hopper's trailer, noticing that everything was a mess. Sighing knowing El and Hopper just had a huge fight, seeing Hopper sitting down on the down couch, slouching with his hands on his face covering them. "Hey" I slowly sat down beside him as I gently placed my hand on his knee. 

"Hey..."he turned to look at me, he has been crying I can tell. His eyes were red and puffy, frowning I pulled him into a hug as he silently cried "Hey, shh it's okay. I'm here. Everything's gonna be alright, I promise." 

The phone rang as Hopper sighed "I should anser that. It's been ringing for like the 10th time." nodding my head as he reached for the phone.

F: "Jim! Joyce has been calling, she said something about Will. Why weren't you answering your phone?"

J: "Things came up."

F: "Well Joyce sounded worried, you better go check on her and see what's wrong."

J: "Yeah, I will."

he hung up as I went closer to him, grabbing his hands "Hey, who was that?" he shook his head, sighing "It was Flo. She said thst Joyce was calling, something about Will."

"Well we better go." shaking his head he grabbed my face as he leaned his forehead against mine  "No, there's so much for you to handle. I can't let you go stressing over about this one, okay." 

"But Jim, I want to help. It's Will! What if something bad happens to him? What if-" I was cut off when he leaned down and kissed me. The kiss lasted for a minute, slowly pulling away. "I know, I know. But not now okay? Just go straight home and make sure Dustin is alright." sighing in defeat as I nodded my head. I mean he's right, I need to check on Dustin and Claudia.

"Be safe okay." he smiled as he gave me a peck on the lips "Always am." chuckling as I pulled him in for a hug "I love you." I felt him get stiff for a bit, then he slowly relaxed. "I love you too."

"Remember, be careful okay?" Hopper smiled as he leaned in to give me a kiss. "I will. As long as you be careful too." nodding as I climbed out of Hopper's truck. 

"Oh and Marcella." turning around to face him "Hm?"

"Call me if anything happens. Okay?" nodded my head once again as I gave him a playful salute "Yes, sir."

Hopper's P.O.V

"Hello?" as I opened the front door of the Byers Residence. Seeing as Joyce standing there, smoking looking like hell. "Leave it open." she said as she threw the cigarette on the trash bin "Where the hell have you been?" shrugging at her as I looked around the house "Things came up and uh I was with Marcella." she sighed, nodding her head.

"What the hell's going on? It's freezing." Joyce led me to Will's room. She glanced at me as she knocked on Will's door. "Hey, knock. knock. We have a visitor." giving Will a small smile "So this thing, this shadow thing. You told your mom it likes it like this. It likes it cold?" he nodded as he stared blankly at us. 

"How do you know?" he shrugged "I just know" I went closer to Will, to obeserve him properly. "Does he talk to you?" he shook his head as he sslowly sat up, resting his back by the headboard "No. It's like I don't have to think. I just know things now. Things I never did before."

"And uh what else do you know?" he frowned. shaking his head "It's hard to explain. It's like old memories in the back of my head, only they're not memories. Okay. I mean, I don't think they're old memories at all. They're they're now-memories, happening all at once." Joyce went to the other side of Will "Can you describe these now-memories?" 

"I don't know." Joyced sighed. Looking at her son, pleading him to say something, the truth. "I know it's hard but can you try? for us?"

"It's like they're growing and spreading, killing." he said. "The memories?" as Will shook his head "I don't know." Will started sobbing as Joyce pulled Will in for a hug "I'm sorry."

"No, no, no. Sweetie. Hey, hey, sweetie what if you didn't have to use words?"

Marcella's P.O.V

"Dustin? Are you home kiddo?" as I was about to open the door to his room, Dustin shutted it close again. "Hey! Jesus Christ! You could've gave me a heart attack." clutching my chest. sighing. "Look can you please tell me what the hell is going on? And where is your mother?" he looked like he was about to shit himself "Uh remember Dart?" nodding my head as I looked at him suspiciously "Dustin. What happened?" crossing my arms as he rubbed his face.

"Dart grew apparently and he ate mews. So when mom was looking for Mews, I told her that Mews ran away and so right now she went out to look for Mews. And now I planned something that could get Dart from my room to the basement. Please do help me." sighing. Nodding my head as he explained to me his plan of getting Dart to the basement.

"Ready Dustin!" calming myself. This plan of his is stupid, but it's worth a shot." 

One...

Two...

Three!

As I opened the door, Dart looked at me and its face opened up. I started running as Dart chased me. "DUSTIN YOU BETTER BE READY OR I SWEAR TO ODINS NAME YOUR ASS IS GRASS!" nearing to the front door, I can see Dustin ready to swing his bat. "Now!" running behind Dustin, he swung his bat at Dart. Making Dart fly to the basement. Imeddiately locking the basement door as we both collapsed on the grass, breathing heavily.

"Shit, I could've died." Dustin nodded his head "Yeah." I wonder what Hopper is up to right now. Speaking of Hopper, I'm so glad he's not here or MY ass is grass. 

"So glad Hopper ain't here or else MY ass is grass." Dustin only laughed as he agreed.
