Eleven's head rested against the window as she watched the landscape blur past. The U-Haul truck hit a pothole and her head smacked against the window but she didn't even notice. 

Images of Mike and Max were stuck her head and even worse were the bad memories. She saw Billy dying in front of her as she did nothing, not knowing that Hopper was about to die far below her. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Stop."

"We'll stop soon don't worry." Joyce replied, without looking at Eleven.

"Stop now!" Joyce slammed on the brakes and before the truck had come to a stop Eleven was out the door and running.

"Where are you going!" Joyce yelled. Eleven paused and looked back at Joyce. She pictured Mikes basement, knowing her cabin was destroyed. She knew he would be happy to see her and that when she got there he would hold her and tell her he loved her.

"Home." She replied. "I'm going home."

Tears pouring down her face, she turned and ran into the woods, blocking out Joyce's calls and focusing only on the image of Mike in her mind as the highway disappeared behind her.
