Dustin pov

Emily was still shaken up she didn't want to go home. She asked Hopper to check on her mom and tell her she was sleeping over at my house. I made her a bed on my floor and she just sat there.

"Emily" she looked at me

"Don't think about your dad ok" she nodded and played with her dress.

I climbed out of bed and sat next to her on the floor. "I know how you feel,my dad was never around and he wasn't very good when he was,he never...ya know hurt me or my mom. But from experience try not to think about him ok" she looked up at me and sighed.

"Ok...I'll try" she said.

"Dustin"

"Ya?"

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"For the night..protecting me lots of things" she said with a small smile. My heart fluttered when she smiled.

"Of course...I would do anything for you" And I meant it...I would.

Emily took my hand and smiled at me. "Thank you for letting me stay the night"

"Of course,your welcome to anytime" I climbed back into my bed and turned off the lights.

"Goodnight Emily"

"Night Dustin"

I fell asleep fairly quickly. After a while I don't know how long it had been. I woke up to a weird noise.

I realize it's crying. Emily my girlfriend crying. I climb out of bed and laid down next to her on the floor. "I'm sorry" she said in between sobs.

"Don't be" I say taking her hand. I laid with her until she fell asleep. It takes me longer as I'm on the floor with no padding except for the carpet.

The next morning I wake up early to her face. Her hair is tasseled and her face is stained with tears but she's still so beautiful. I slowly so I don't wake her up. Get up and leave the room.

Emily's pov

I wake up with a groan and stretch out. I sit up to find Dustin not in his bed. I rub my eyes and put on my glasses. "Dustin?" I call out weakly with my groggy morning voice.

I figured he was in the bathroom so I just waited. After a bit the door opens and Dustin walks back into his room with a tray. "What's this?" I ask as he sets it down on the floor. It's French toast with syrup and powdered sugar.

"Breakfast" Dustin responds. I smile no one had ever done anything like this for me. Dustin takes his plate and hands me mine.

"Thank you" I say when I'm down eating.

"Yup!" Dustin says with a full month of his last bite. He swallows and laughs,I join in.

"I should probably head home" I say I kinda left my mom.

"Ok I'll walk you" Dustin says standing up and helping me to my feet.

We walk down the road hand in hand towards my house. "I'm sorry about what happened last night" Dustin says.

"It's ok my dads a jerk" I say. He nods a little.

"Are you ok?" I ask him.

"Ya I'm fine" he says.

"Dustin!?"

"I can feel a headache coming" he says. The last night had made me kinda forget about Dustin's headaches.

"Do you want to sit down?" I ask he nods and sits on the curb putting his head in his hands.

We sit there for a while then came a voice. "You two ok?" We look up to see a young woman about Steve's age standing in front of us. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. And she wore a lite blue shirt with a jean jacket and sweatpants.

"Ya my boyfriend just has a headache" I say to her.

"Where you guys headed?" She asked. She seemed nice but was asking lots of questions.

"That's none of your business" Dustin said standing up and facing her.

"Ok sorry just trying to help" she said putting her hands up defensively. She's not much taller then Dustin so if he wanted to he could hurt her. If she tried anything.

"I'm sorry" Dustin said.

"I don't know where that came from...I'm Dustin and this is Emily" he said addressing me on the curb.

"I'm Skyler" the girl says putting her hand out for Dustin. He takes it and shakes.

"Nice to meet you Skyler" he says.

Skyler sat down with us and started talking to us about stuff she dose to help headaches. We just listened and nodded as not to be rude. Even though none of that would work in our situation.

After a while she left she said she had to go to work. So me and Dustin started walking again. He was smiling no smirking. "What's up with you?" I asked him. He looked at me and replied

"I have an idea,but I need your help" he said.

"What is this grand idea?"

"Let's just say it helps out big brother Steve" He said glancing over his shoulder.

"Ok I'm in" i was always down for helping a fellow party member.
