June 30th 1985 ~ Hopper's cabin.

Seven was stood in front of her mirror while she checked over her outfit, which consisted of a simple white top a pair of mom jeans, sneakers and one of Billy's denim jackets.

She furrowed her brows when she heard Hopper exclaim, but she then shook her head with a smile when she heard a door slam, knowing he had probably caught Mike and Eleven.

She looked at the time and saw that she had about a half an hour before Billy arrived, so exited her room the same time Mike and Hopper left Eleven's. The two males said nothing as Hopper lead then with a fuming expression and Mike with a confused look. She looked over to the couch and saw Mallory laying down while she read a Cosmo.

"When's your lover boy coming?" She heard her say.

"About thirty minutes." She said as she made her way to the couch, placing Mallory's legs in her lap.

The two teen girls whipped their heads to the left when they heard the door push open. Eleven stood there, wanting to join their conversation. Seven didn't want to admit it but She hadn't been spending much time with her sister due to their boyfriends, so she beckoned for the younger girl to come over. Mallory lifted her upper body to allow eleven to sit while she placed her head in her lap.

Billy felt a smile make it's way to his face as thought of his girlfriend. He looked in his rearview mirror, and tried to practice his shitty lines. He felt something hit his windshield causing him to swerve the camaro off of the road.

When the car came to a stop he lifted his head off of the steering wheel and winced when he touched the sore spot. He saw blood on his fingers causing him to let out a curse. He stumbled out of the car and looked around and saw nothing, when he looked at his windshield he cursed loudly.

"Ah shit!" After his exclamation a loud bang came from the building across the street.

"Who's there?!" He asked stupidly, feeling his blood run cold at the eerieness of it all. He heard more rattling and he could help his body from moving closer to the building.

He walked to the stairs that led downward and looked to see if anything was there, but there was nothing. He started to turn back around to go to his car, but something grabbed his ankle causing him to scream into the night where no one would hear him.

Mallory watched as Seven paced in front of the phone to see if Billy would call. It was now eight forty five and the tanned boy was no where to be seen. The sound of the house phone ringing caused the fuming blonde to whip her body around yanking the phone off of the receiver.

She answered the phone and felt her anger dissipate when she heard Billy's frantic voice.

"Rosie!! Please help me. Help me please!"

"Billy what's wrong?!" Mallory tensed when she heard the terror in Seven's voice.

"I-I don't know, I don't know something att-"

"Billy?!" She called out when she heard the came to an abrupt stop.

She then heard Billy yelling out, but she could hear what he was saying and then she heard the line went dead. She let out a shaky breath as she placed the phone back on the hook feeling a cold chill travel down her spine. Something terrible was going to happen, she could feel it.

July 1st 1985 ~ Hawkins Community pool

It was the next morning at the  Hawkins community pool, Billy Hargrove's mind was replaying the events of last night. He couldn't quiet comprehend what was happening, but he felt as if something was crawling under his skin, slowly gripping at every cell of his body to make it their own.

He was in the changing room when he felt a hand touch his arm, causing him to tense when a dark thought traveled his mind.

"Billy?" It was Rosie.

He felt like a puppet as his mouth was wired shut, but he was screaming, for help from the one person who was slowly fixing his broken pieces, but instead the puppeteer was placing images into his brain. It wanted to hurt her, he couldn't hurt her, his heart pounded in his chest and turned around abruptly gripping her wrist tightly, not caring that he hadn't heard a word she said.

"Stay away from me." His voice was harsh and felt his heart break at the look on her face.

Seven followed Billy wanting to confront him about last night. She had been convinced by Mallory who told her to wait until tomorrow to talk to her 'lover boy'. When her hand touched Billy's arm she felt him tense, and she furrowed her eyebrows at the coldness she felt.

"Billy?" Her voice held concern and slight fear, but she let talking .

"What happened to you last night? I tried finding you using my powers, but it was like you disappeared." She realized that he wasn't listening.

"If you're still mad about our fight, I'm sorry okay, but I need you I talk to me, Mallory and I are leaving as soon I get back to the cabin." She was about to spin him around to face her but she tensed when he gripped her wrists tightly.

She held a pained look on her face as she looked at him. She saw fear flashed in his eyes when he spoke.

"Stay away from me." His voice was dark as he emphasized every word.

"What?" Her voice cracked as she couldn't understand what had gotten into him.

"Stay away." He let go of her arm and pushed her slightly and left her with tears welling in her eyes as she watched his retreating form.

There was something going on with Billy Hargrove and she couldn't help but feel the same cold chill travel down her spine. Something was coming.
