When Lauren arrived home that afternoon, she literally couldn't stop smiling. She went straight to her room and closed the door, her mind immediately thinking of Billy.
She fell asleep with a smile on her face, which she hadn't done in a long time.
The next morning, Lauren opened her eyes and started thinking of how she wanted to spent the day. She figured it was due she watched some of the movies Jonathan recommended a while ago.
She jolted up when Dustin walked into her room and locked the door behind him. He turned to her with wide eyes, looking around her room in fear.
"What the hell?" Lauren asked with a frown. "Why are you paranoid?" she laughed before her face turned serious when she heard a shriek that reminded her of the Demogorgon.
"What the shit?!" she jumped of her bed, her eyes going wide in alarm.
"It's Dart I-I thought he was a lizard or a reptile. He he- ate Mews!!" Dustin rambled and Lauren's jaw dropped.
"HE ATE MEWS!?" she screamed in Dustin's face. "It looked like the Demogorgon. It was smaller, it growled in my face. Mews is dead..." He whispered before she saw the small tear rolling down his cheek.
"It's okay buddy. Its not your fault. When did that happen?" she whispered as she held him close. "Last night" he said, looking down at his shoes.
"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?" she yelled and he shushed her.
"We need to kill it or do something before mom sees it" she thought out loud and Dustin looked away when she mentioned killing Dart.
Then they heard the front door open and they both looked at each other.
"What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?" Dustin asked in a high pitched tone once Lauren started pushing him towards the door.
"I don't know. We need to wing it, tell her we lost Mews. I'll lock your door" she said frantically as she unlocked the door and pushed him out.
Dustin ran to the living room and Lauren ran to his bedroom door. She locked it from the outside before she rushed to see what Dustin came up with.
He was acting like he was on the phone and their front door was open. She heard her mom calling out for Mews outside.
"What the hell are you doing?" she asked Dustin. "I've got this" he whispered back just as their mom walked into the room.
"Dusty, Laury you sure she's not in your room?" she asked, the sadness clear in her voice.
"No I just checked" Lauren said, trying to act as sad and worried as she could.
Dustin raised his fingers, as though to shut both of them up as he focused on the phone call.
