Your POV:

It's been three weeks since I've talked to the others my stepdad being a jackass won't let me talk to my friends but, today is different. Today is Billy's funeral. I put on a plain black dress and walk downstairs, where my mom is sitting with Kate.

"Morning." I said walking out the door.

"Good morning," My mom chirped.

"Where are you going?" My stepdad (Thomas) asked.

"Maxine her brother's funeral is today." I replied blandly.

"Why are you going so early." He interrogated.

"I need to help Max she doesn't want to be alone."

"Then take your sister." He said, I groaned mentally. I looked over at Kate who was too busy starring at her bowl of cereal. She was already wearing black.

"Okay." I muttered, Kate followed me out the door. I knew the walk from our house to Max's wouldn't be long, because Hawkins is so small.

"Why were you in the mall?" Kate asked.

"What?"

"Why were you in the mall after hours?" She asked.

"It's not important." I said coldly.

"If it's not important why, did the cops come, just tell me."

"It's complicated. I'll tell you later."

"Okay." she pouted.

"I have to tell you something before we go to Max's house." I paused.

"What?" She asked.

"Max's stepdad isn't the kindest person just stay away from him." We arrived at Max's house. I hesitantly knocked, on the door.

"Hi Mrs. Mayfield." I said slightly smiling.

"Hello, y/f/n, who is your friend?" She asked.

"This is Kaitlyn my sister." I said, I didn't want a dad but, I've always wanted a sister, even if she is a little weird.

"Welcome I wish you could've gotten to know you under better circumstances." Said Mrs. Mayfield.

"So do I." We walked into Max's house and I made my way to Max's room and I knocked on the door.

"Max?" I ask. I before I could ask, Kate gave me a look of sympathy, and nodded. I opened the door to see a figure under the covers, of a messy bed.

"Max." I say tugging on the sheets. Her cheeks were flushed, eyes were red from crying, her orange har was a mess. I hugged her in silence not knowing what to say. A while later Max started to pull away.

"Let's get this over with." Max said, opening her closet door to a black dress with black lace sleeves.

"Hey mom I'm going to Max's!" I screamed walking out the door.

It's been pretty average since the funeral, I mean Hopper's gone and El lives with Will now, so they had to be home by 7:00 pm, now Tanner was the fourth girl to the group, I guess it wasn't really clear, and she always avoided talking to Dustin, and he stopped talking about Suzie.

"What took you sooo long?" El asked.

"Homework."

"Ugh don't get me started on math." Eleven chuckles.

"What's up you?" Max asked Tanner who was completely out of it.

"It's nothing." She replied.

"Yes it is, you haven't looked at Dustin since the Code Red." I responded.

"It's nothing really." She denies.

"Friends Don't Lie." El stated.

"Okay, okay, but no one says about this." We nodded. "When attempted to leave the mall Steve mentioned Dustin had a girlfriend... and I'm positive he liked me. I felt it. Now it's just awkward." She confessed.

"Did you like him back." I asked.

"Yeah I guess I still like him."

"Hey want to spy on the guys?" Max asked.

"Again?"

"Okay." Tanner grabbed a blindfold while, I turned on the static.

Third Person

In the void....

"DUSTIN!" The three boys yelled.

"What? I met Tamryn after Suzie! How was I supposed to know I feelings for her?" Dustin responded.

"Well?" Mike asked.

"Well What?"

"What did you do afterwards?"

"I broke up with her." He said blandly.

"Okay, now you do step two." Will proceeds. "Apologize to her, explain what went wrong." Dustin nodded.

"That's it." Dustin asks.

"Yeah." Lucas adds.

Richie's POV

"RICHARD TOZIER GET YOUR LAZY ASS DOWN HERE!!!" My dad yelled, I quickly ran downstairs not wanting to make things worse.

"Yes Sir."

"Your such a fucking waste of space ya know." My dad stated, holding a glass of beer.

"Why'd you have a kid then," I mutter.

"What you say, boy?" (Why am I imagining a southern accent? I originally said Texan but not everyone has a accent my bad)

"Nothing." I felt a burning sensation on my cheek. My dad shoves up against the wall, yelling at me.

"You should've never been born, I don't why they didn't have an abortion!" He screamed, he put me down, then he punched me, yet again. He walked away back to his chair to watch football. I got my bike and I went to our clubhouse in the woods to meet up the rest of the losers.

"What's the password?" Eddie teased.

"Cut it out, just let me in." I pleaded.

"R-r-rich-" Bill stammered, trying to form words, they had all known that my dad wasn't my favorite person.

"What fuck happened to you?" Stan asked.

"My dad happened."

"This is the third time this week now a black eye." Mike said.

"Don't worry about it."

"People are not gonna keep buying 'It's Bowers' or 'I fell' you need to get out of there, before something bad happens to you." Beverly protests.

"I... let's stop talking about this." Richie pleads.

"Sooo any interesting news?" Ben asks.

"Guys, I uh I'm moving."

"What?"

"Yeah with my aunt," she said looking down.

"When?" I asked.

"Next month or two." She replied.

"We're gonna miss you bev." I said, not even realizing were all crying.

July 14th, 1985 DERRY, MAINE

Once again it was one of those days when my dad was in his moods. Why you ask? Well my dad was late to work, he came home pissed, I couldn't stay at the loser's houses because it they were all busy. To make it worse he had an argument with my mom. So I had to stay out of his way. I was up in my room listening to The Police, Clash, and The Cure, when my door burst open. I took off my headphones to hear my dad yelling.

"Maggie asked for baby I said no but when she got you everything was always about you. ALWAYS ABOUT YOU!" He screamed, he began to punch me four times before sirens wailed outside.

Time Skipppp

Third Person
"Hi I'm Cassandra, but you can call me Cass, what's your name?" The social worker asked.

"Richie Tozier."

"You want a snack or juice?" Richie shook his head looking around the bright colored room.

"So I'm gonna ask you some questions, okay?" Richie nodded.

"Do you know why your dad hit you?"

"He was drunk and angry that my mom had a argument with him."

"Is this the first time this happened before?"

"No."

"Do you have any relatives you can stay with until we sort this out?"

"Um I can see if I can stay with the Denbroughs."

"Okay we're gonna get you checked out then we're going to get your stuff." Cass said.

"What's gonna happen to my dad?" He asked.

"I don't know at the moment but we're gonna keep from as far as possible from you."

Mike's POV
I was getting ready to hangout with the rest of the party when the doorbell rung. I looked through the keyhole to see a car parked outside , and a woman with brown hair. I opened the door.

"Is this the Wheeler residence?"

"Yes, why?" I wondered.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Michael Wheeler."

"Mike who are you talking to?" Nancy asked from in the kitchen.

"Sorry that's my sister who are you?"

"I'm Cassie I'm with Child Services are your parents home?"

"Nancy is Mom home?!" I asked. She nodded.

"Yes, I'll get her." I went inside get my mom, she closed the door behind her.

"What was that about?" Nancy whispers.

"It was a lady from CPS."
