(Max POV)

Bacon. That sweet smell that hovered through the air as I was sitting on the couch. I quickly jumped up and ran into the kitchen halting to a quick stop as I saw a figure standing in front of me.

"Woah woah! Slow down kiddo it's not finished cooking yet" Billy said turning around to look at me with a huge smile on his face. I took in deep breaths in attempt to slow my heart rate. I gave him a brief smile before walking to the table nearby and sitting.
"Sorry I just got excited" I said with a huge smile across my face. Me and Billy were what most would call the unbreakable sibling duo and I was A-okay with that.

Billy laughed while he turned around back to the stove and began to flip the bacon causing the noise of sizzling to echo through the air.
"You got any plans today kiddo?" Billy asked me still turned away
"Nothing so far, I might go to the arcade though if you could take me" I say in an innocent tone in hopes he would gratefully agree
"Of course I can take you Max, just tell me when and maybe even on the we could pick up a treat" Billy said with a slight chuckle causing my smile to grow even wider
"That would be totally rad! Thank you Billy you are the best"
"Anything for the best sister I could ask for"

Ever since we moved to this new town called Hawkins me and Billy's sibling friendship has grown. Our parents are out of town most of the time allowing us to grow together more. We are able to do all the fun things siblings do and even though I may not have any friends currently he is all I need in my life to be happy

Hearing a timer go off in the distance Billy quickly turned it off and took the bacon of the stove and poured the pieces onto a plate
"Breakfast is served" Billy said bringing the plate over and putting it into the middle of the table while taking a seat next to me. Hurriedly I grabbed a piece and shoved it into my mouth savoring the flavor and crispness. "My goodness Max you act like you never get fed" Billy laughed also grabbing a piece and eating it
"It's not my fault you make the best bacon ever!" I retorted in response

We eventually cleaned up what was left of the food and I told Billy that I would meet him in the car for him to take me to the Arcade. Running up to my room I threw on my yellow jacket and my red converse then scurried down the stairs and out the door expecting to see Billy's car. Except it wasn't there, but it was down the driveway and continuing to move

"Billy stop!" I yelled walking down the drive way in the direction of the car
"Billy! Stop!" I continued as I started to run after him
"Billy!" My voice began to echo and my feet started to sink into the ground as his car continued to drive away
"Billy please no! Don't leave me! Stop Billy!"

——————————————————-

My body shot up from my bed with breathing hard. It took my eyes a minute to adjust to the lighting of my new room of my new treacherous 'house'. Looking around I realized I wasn't in my old house on Kerly or in my happy bright yellow jacket and those happy 'memories' I just experienced with Billy was in fact just

A dream

Groaning to my self I fell back into my bed with a slight tear rolling down my cheek.

It has been almost a year since Billy died and left my family. Left me. Our relationship those past years wasn't at all what I now wished they were. Regret fills my body every day knowing that our relationship could have been different,and Billy could be alive if I hadn't just stood their that day at the mall and watched him sacrifice himself.

Rolling over to my side I opened the bottle of Tylenol grabbing two tablettes, some water, and swallowing it. This is currently day two of my monster headaches that have been interrupting my already shitty days. I have no idea why they are suddenly happening, but all I do know is that I do not wish them upon my worst enemy.
The only thing that is currently keeping me somewhat going is the fact that spring break is in a couple days, and that when it comes I can just just fill my days with resting in my bed and not stressing over...life.

Forcing myself out of bed I walked over to my dresser and grabbing a simple flannel top, Jean shorts, and my shoes. I threw my hair up into a low bun and finally, grabbed my headphones while blasting Running up that Hill into my ears as I walked outside and onto the school bus which wisked me away to my favorite place on earth. School!
School, if you couldn't tell, has also been sucking recently. A few months ago I broke it off with Lucas for the millionth time swearing that was the last. My grades have been declining along with my social interactions with, everyone. El and I haven't spoken since she moved last summer. Mike, Dustin, and I speak maybe once a day and that's when we are in class tomorrow. And then there is Lucas. He tries to talk to me constantly, but I don't give him the time of day especially since he ditched the others for the popular crowd. I just have to last a few for days until Spring Break.

Spring break

Spring break

I just have to make it until then. Only a few more days Max. You got this. Just make it a few more days.
