Marae's Point of View
When it comes to my family the town of Hawkins think of good blood, not bad. My parents had the perfect family of two children one boy and one girl. I'm the girl, the supposed young little girl Lockwood; I was birthed on the day of Halloween, my parents thought I was a blessing till I hit middle school. Getting into the hard rock bands of the early 80s and all my pink baby blue dresses turned into black pants with black flannels. My life took a turn in middle school year being bullied by the one and only Tommy H, were not going to drown the fact he was a grade above me and yet somehow kept messing with me.
My brothers the angel child in this family Basketball all star at the Hawkins High School, girls hanging on him left and right. I'm the messed up kid of the family the "depressed" one people so call it here, never in my life have I been happy only in my early years before shit hit the fan. Now I'm here working at the Family Video store trying to make enough money for another record player. The pink long strip in my hair causes people to think it's based off my childhood and how it used to be, when that it's just a piece of hair that points me out.
"Marae don't look so sad come on! Summer is almost here which means you don't have to deal with the dumbass Billy." Steve proclaimed. Steve is in my brothers grade he was popular until Miss.Nancy Drew whipped him up than dumped him for Jonathan Byers, what a sad story...Not! I've been friends with Steve since he left Tommy H, Steve and I have been known to be buddy buddy with him but I dont acknowledge it because in fact he's like a brother to me. A brother I deserve.
"Yeah, but here's the thing. I go to parties to get high Steve with all the other misfits, which means he's going to be there that dumbass just needs to understand he is not getting in my pants that's all!" I state firmly knowing Hargrove has been wanting to get in my pants ever since I got high and sucked him off in the back of his car. It all went down hill even more from there.
"Just because you give a good blow job doesn't mean shit Marae! He's just a dick and what he says about you is just dumb, ignore him. Live this summer come on." Steve kept fighting me to be happy every time I looked as if I wanted to kill myself he always did say a smile did look good on me. I just rolled my eyes and went back to readjusting movies on the shelf until the front door rung indicated someone was here.
"Hey! Robin your back!" Steve yelled from the container jumping over it to go give the girl a hug. It was Robin the girl who was not popular, she was like me but more upbeat and cheery. I always had this thing for girls and I knew her secret because Steve told me once.
"Ya dingus thanks for the hug. God let me go." She said disgusted. I just shook my head and laughed a little going back to work. "Marae put the movies down give me a hug I missed your ass." Robin was right behind me as I turned around, I wrapped my arms around her neck breathing in the lovely strawberry smell she always carried with her. We hugged for a good minute.
"How was band camp loser?" I ask letting go and heading towards the back to get out of my work clothes.
"It was fun actually I met a girl there." Robin said smiling the most precious smile in all of Hawkins. My heart sunk when she said she met a girl, I know I could never be the girl to cuddle Robin at night when she wants to watch the most sinister movie ever.
"Oh. Well that's nice." I say trying to hide the fact I'm hurt, I have always been into Robin ever since our first sleepover where we kissed. It was like a spark in me lit up during that time.
"Ya she lives 30 minutes away, It's great she has walkie so I'm going to see if I can use Dustin's sometimes." She says this so joyful I smile to myself.
"Well that's amazing Rob, I hope I get to meet her someday." I say grabbing my bag and slinging it over my shoulder and handing out the back door. I didn't even say goodbye to her I was to sad to think that the girl I've wanted since freshman year finally found someone herself.
- June 3, 1986
The sound of my brother banging his girlfriend in the next room is truly disgusting, I bet no one has ever woken up to that. Well I have and today is one of those days where my parents have gone out of town for the whole week, which just means parties every single night until the day before my parents come home. That makes everything better, I can get high in my room without having to spray the strong ass perfume my mom got me for christmas.
Rolling out of bed I look at the clock sitting on my desk and see that is nine in morning. NINE IN THE FREAKING MORNING! He couldn't have thought of a better time to fuck her maybe when I went to work later.
"Calm the fuck down! It's not like his dick is that fucking big Mary!" I knock on the wall yelling. I sigh deeply and head for the bathroom straight away, grabbing the pills Winston gave me for a little high in the morning. Closing the cabinet I look at my messy long hair, my brown eyes looking back at me. What have I become to? Is all think.

The afternoon couldn't have gone any slower, me sitting here in my green ugly vest watching as 13-16 year olds chose movies as if it was a decision that could cost their life. I was the only one working this afternoon due to the freaking manager here thinking I could work all by myself.
"Well Marae hows it going?" Turning from the shelf filled with the star wars pack, I almost barfed. Why in the fuck is he here?
"Yes Hargrove?" I say annoyed already knowing what he was thinking looking me up and down as if I was some meal he could eat.
"Oh just wondering where is the movie Nightmare on Elm street Two is?" He says smirking at me, all I could think of was ripping it right off his face.
"Oh, well didn't you see asshole it's right over there in the horror section." I say as innocently as possible trying to sound annoying just for him.
"Ya know, that little innocent voice turned me on babydoll." He said this and I barfed in my mouth.
"Don't ever call me that again, Hargrove. Or your ballsack will be somewhere else on your body." I say aggressively. All he did was smirk and head right over to the horror movie section. Walking back to the counter I grabbed my water and the pills out of my back pocket pulling three out taking all at the same time taking them with water. As the asshole walked up to the counter he looked right down at the low cut V-neck I wore today, god this dick just can't back off.
"What the fuck do you want Hargrove?" I ask ringing up the movie for him.
"Oh just ya know maybe you could suck me off again or maybe even more." He says coming close to my face pushing back a piece of dark brown hair.
"Fuck off." Is all say with my breathe sucked in.
"Did I get the bad girl worked up now?" He whispers in my ear. I try breathing easy but nothing helps, the pills are starting to work and my head is spin; god why am I so stupid?
"Come to my brother's party tonight and maybe I will." Shit fuck no my high self is dumb, saying this shocked him and he looked at my eyes, I was high a bit.
"Hm, alright doll. See ya later tonight." He hands me a 10 leaving without getting any change. What has this summer day turn into?
A/N: I know Robin wasn't in here lots but lemme just tell you....things in this story are going to go down and then up hill. Some chapters won't have Robin in them I'm sorry! But thanks for reading this I promise things get better. Also I'm not saying popping pills are fun, Marae just takes them to get off the bullshit life she lives.
