Danica

I nuzzled my face into my scarf as the cool air hit my face, leaves crunching under my boots. It was November, My favorite month to be exact, Fall being my all around favorite season. There was something about the weather not being to cold or to hot, Just the coolness that I liked. The leaves turned this red and orange color. Pumpkins out on halloween with horror films all month, Than came Thanksgiving.

For the four years that I have lived in New York I never went back to my home town of Hawkins. Thanksgiving in New York consisted of flying my mother and brother out for the holiday and sometimes even the young boys of Hawkins came to visit from time.

"Large coffee, cream, six sugars please. " I spoke ordering my usual from the local coffee shop by my house. "No wonder why you're so sweet" I heard from behind causing me to turn around meeting the face of my roommates brother Adam. A smirk played on my lips as he made jokes about me always being hyper and now finally knowing why.

"Danica without coffee can be rude and nasty, Do you want that?" I spoke taking a sip of the hot beverage, My body relaxing. I watched as Adam put his hands up in defense saying a "No thank you" with a slight smile on his face.

"What's Stassie up to?" I asked as we sat down at a table. Adam rolled his eyes taking a sip of his drink before saying "She's packing her whole life away for this trip." I laughed at his annoyance shaking my head at him. "Do you think our poor Anastassia will survive out in the mountains?"

"She'll definitely die out there" He joked making me giggle. Adam and me had a different relationship. Even though his sister was my roommate and best friend, we dated junior year of college. Lasted about a year but we were still attracted to each other, every now and than we'd have a moment. I watched as he took sips of his coffee, his hair curly and skin tanned. I bit my lip at how good he looked  "Stop that" he spoke meeting my eyes which were full of lust, a chuckle slipping past his lips. I let go of my bottom lip rolling my eyes.

"What are you doing for Thanksgiving?" He asked setting down his coffee. "I'm actually going to my mothers this year" I answered watching his face turn up in a smile.

"It's about time Henderson, I got tired of seeing your face every holiday" He teased causing me to shove him a bit. He caught my hand intertwining our fingers kissing my knuckles.

"I figured it's about time" I sighed out, Adam giving me a soft look "Lets go get my sister before she packs up the whole house" he spoke making me smile, I got up following his lead, His arm wrapping around my shoulder as we walked down the street.

Billy

My eyes were closed as I listened to the waves, the sun beating down on my skin only making me more tan and sweaty. "What are you doing all by your lonesome?" I heard opening my eyes to face my girlfriend Kasey. I watched as she sat down next to me on the beach, California being my home for the past four years. I took a swig of whiskey from my flask handing it over to her, I watched as she took her shot passing it back. A smile forming on my face as I remember the exact night we met, She dared to drink me under the table long story short I was drunk off my ass while she danced around sober.

"You going to home for the holiday?" She ask pushing some hair our my face

"Yea, Max has been wanting me to for awhile now" I spoke placing a cigarette between my lips and lighting it.

"Be nice to your dad, I know he isn't exactly father of the year but- " she spoke before I cut her off

"Kase I really don't wanna hear this right now" I groaned getting up, I walked over to my car Kasey rushing behind me. I knew she meant well, always being the peace keeper but shit was different with my dad. I thought back to my high school days with Danica. She never got in between my dad and I's shit but she was always the rock that calmed me down and talked me up when he made me feel low.

"Billy" she sighed grabbing ahold of my hand, making me face her. I turned around leaning on my car, My blue Camaro that has been with me since my wild high school days. Kasey leaned on me, arms wrapping around my neck while mine wrapped around her waist.

"I'm sorry, I just want you to enjoy yourself" She spoke bitting her lip, I gave her a soft smile pulling her in as our lips collided. The kiss was soft than slowly becoming hot and heavy, Kasey pulled away laying her forehead on mines, "I'll see you when you come back" she spoke softly before pressing her lips to mine again. I got into my car slamming the door, giving her one last kiss before hitting the rode back to Hawkins.
