*Third Person POV*
'Well Will. We're twins!'

Wills jaw dropped along with everyone else's in the room. Except Brooklyn.

'Wait how is that possible? If you were my twin why weren't you raised with me? Brought home from the hospital with me?'
'Well our mom gave me up for adoption. Right when we were born.'
'Oh. Where have you been all these years then?'
'I lived in Chicago. I also lived in Manhattan for a couple years.'
'Oh. How did you find us?'
'My dad eventually told me.'

Will nodded at this and sat down on the couch. This was a lot for him to process. Max motioned for Brooklyn to come in.

'I-Is our mom home?'
'No she's at work. Until five.'
'Oh. Okay.'
'I think I'm going to call her.'
'Yeah.'

Will stood up and left to the phone. Lucas and Dustin started chatting up the pretty brunette girl. Will dialled his mothers work place number and waited for someone to pick up.

'Hello Melvald's General Store. Joyce speaking, how may I help you?'
'Hey mom. It's me Will.'
'Oh hi sweetie! What's up?'
'Uhm so this girl named Brooklyn just showed up and said she's my twin. And that you put her up for adoption.'

There was silence for thirty seconds.

'I'm coming home right now.'

She then hung up the phone. She ran to her bosses office.

'Kevin? I really have to go. It's about my twins.'
'Oh go on Joyce. I'll get Cindy to cover your shift.'
'Thanks a million!'

Joyce ran to her car and drove home as fast as she could. Meanwhile Will sat down beside Max.

'So, Brooklyn, are you single?'
'Yes I am. Why does it matter though?'

Dustin flushed and shrugged his shoulders. Brooklyn giggled.

'Hey Will. What did mom say?'
'That she's coming home right now.'

Brooklyn squealed and clapped her hands together.

'Wow I can't believe I'm actually going to meet my mom!'
'Y-yeah.'

Will still felt odd about this whole thing.

'So, Brooklyn, do you have any siblings? That aren't Will and Johnathan.'
'Who's Jonathan?'

Max looked at Will and he looked back at Brooklyn.

'Johnathan is my older brother.'
'Oh. How old is he?'
'21.'
'Oh.'

Brooklyn was taking in the information that she had another brother. When some one walked into the Byers residence.

'Mom!'
'Hi sweetie. HelloMax, Lucas, Dustin.'

Joyces smile faltered for a moment before she approached Brooklyn.

'Brooklyn?'
'Mom?'

Joyce has tears in her eyes. She quickly grabbed Brooklyn and gave her a big hug.

'Oh sweetheart! You're so beautiful!'
'Th-thanks mom.'
'I'm sure you already met your brother.'
'Of course.'
'Jonathan won't be back until 3. I can't wait for you to meet him.'
'I can't wait to meet him too.'

Joyce smiled at her daughter. She couldn't believe she was here. It had been 16 years since she saw her. She suddenly turned to Will.

'Hey Will? Can I talk to you?'
'Oh yeah.'

Will got up and followed his mother to her room. He was very confused.

'I know that you guys are going to the concert next month. We have enough money for your sister to join.'
'Really? What if she has to go back home?'
'I'm sure I can convince her father to let her come.'
'Okay!'

They went back out to the others. Brooklyn was missing from the group.

'Where's Brooklyn?'
'She went to the bathroom.'

Will nodded at his best friend and fell to the couch. They suddenly heard sobbing from the bathroom. They all looked at each other before running to the bathroom.

'Brooklyn?! Sweetheart? Are you okay?'

The cries only got louder. Joyce looked at El, who got the message and unlocked the door.

'Brooklyn? What's wrong?'
'He-he's de-dead!'

Joyce held Brooklyn in her arms as she sobbed. Her entire body was shaking and jerking. Will and the others look scared.

'Who's dead, honey?'
'M-my da-dad! My sister j-just te-texted me!'

Joyce's eyes went wide and she held Brooklyn closer.

'Oh honey. I'm so sorry!'
'Wh-where a-a-am I go-gonna go? I c-can't stay with m-my sis-sister! Sh-shes only 17! She's not an ad-adult!'
'Brooklyn, sweetie, I'm sure we can manage to get custody.'
'Re-really?'
'Yes. I can either sleep on the couch, or you can share a room with, Will.'

Brooklyn started crying again. She was hiccuping.

'C'mon sweetie, you need to lay down.'

Joyce helped Brooklyn to her feet and guided her to Jonathan's room. The group of teenagers could hear low conversation from the room.

'Well uh do you guys want to go to the diner?'
'Oh sure.'

Everyone followed Max outside. She led them to her Chevrolet Camaro. She got it from her older stepbrother. He died in the mall when a fire was set ablaze.

'C'mon you losers!'
'Shut up, Maxine!'

Max glared at El then stuck her tongue out. El's face went a light pink. Lucas screamed shot gun and climbed into the passenger seat.

After they all got in Max turned to the group, aux cord in hand. She grinned at them.

'Pick a number between 1 and 40. Lucas?'
'Eighteen.'
'El?'
'Thirty one.'
'Dustin?'
'Twenty.'
'Will?'
'Two.'
'It was three. Will you get the aux cord.'

Everyone groaned as Will plugged his phone in. He hit shuffle and instantly 'First Place' by Larray played in the blue car. Everyone laughed and cheered.

'This ain't a race but, I still take first place! Take your man just to shove it in your face! My names not lighting but, I still am a queen! I go to Panda just to ask for'

They continued to shout the lyrics all the way to the small diner in town. They all hoped out of the car and headed into the diner.

'So Will you never knew you have a twin?'
'No, Dustin I never knew that.'
'She's pretty.'
'DUSTIN! She's my sister what the fuck!'
'Jesus calm down Byers.'

Will rolled his eyes at Dustin. Then a waitress came over and took their order.

Yeah so Billy's dead and so is Brooklyn's 'dad'. God this took so long and it's trash. Peace!
