Hours pass by and I continue to stare at the photos on my wall. Photos of mum, Danny and I all smiling and having fun. I don't have many other photos.
Except for one.
The small photo of Brenda and I sits in the corner of my room. Brenda and I were friends for years. She got me through my bad times and she didn't care that I had these 'weird' abilities. She was always there for me.
Then that... thing came. It took her. I watched it take her life right before my eyes and I couldn't do anything about it.
The loud ringing of my telephone grabs my attention and I rush over to answer. I knew it would be Danny. He's the only person to ever call me. Well, except those annoying scam callers.
"Hey Danny what's up?"
"Y/N we need you now!" He yells down the phone line and I start to worry.
"Hey calm down! What's wrong? Where are you?" I ask, slipping on my shoes ready to come after him.
"Nothing! We just need your help! Lucas pulled out of our D&D campaign and we need someone else!" Danny exclaims, finally taking a breath.
D&D? Has he ever thought that I have no idea how to play?
"Danny I'd love to help but I've never played before. I would have no idea what to do. Surely there must be someone else you can ask?"
I hear muffled voices in the background talking about someone named... Erica?
"Oh wait nevermind! We gotta go, bye!"
Danny hangs up and I stare at the phone cord before laughing slightly. Honestly, that kid is gonna be the death of me one day.
Not long after, I decide to put on my shoes so that I could be ready to pick Danny up later.
When I walk past mums room, I hear a faint ticking noise.
Strange. I never knew she bought a clock. I thought she hated them.
I shrug it off, walking towards the living room where mum sits knitting a cute blanket.
"Hey sweetie, you going to pick Danny up?" Mum asks and I nod my head with a small smile.
"Yeah I'm just gonna park outside. Hopefully it's not too busy since that high school basketball game is going on at the same time. Also, did you buy a clock? I head a ticking sound coming from your room." I say and mum shakes her head.
"No sweetie I didn't. That noise must have been the leaky tap dripping."
That was a bit too loud to be a water droplet.
"Anyway, I'm gonna get going. I'll see you later mum." I smile, heading out the front door towards my car.
Once I arrive at Hawkins High School, I see crowds of people cheering and I find a place to park, getting out of my car.
"Y/N we won! We did it! We won the campaign!" Danny rushes up to me and tackles me in a hug.
"That's amazing! I'm so proud of you!" I smile, wrapping my arms around him.
"Come on! You have to meet the others!" Danny excitedly drags me over to his friends.
"The others left already but this is Mike, Erica, Dustin and Eddie!" Danny points out.
I lock eyes with the same guy who caught me earlier. Eddie... I like it.
"So... we meet again darling." Eddie gives me a goofy grin and I return a shy smile, looking down at the floor.
The others, including my brother, look back and forth between the both of us.
"Is... something going on with you two?" Dustin asks.
"No!"
"Yes."
I look up at Eddie who gives me another smile, laughing as he messes with the others. I mean... we only just met.
"So are you ready to go Danny?" I ask, breaking the silence.
"Fine... I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Danny bids farewell to his friends as we walk back to the car.
From outside my window, I lock eyes with Eddie who gives me a small wave goodbye which makes my face heat up once more.
"So what's going on between you and Eddie huh? I didn't know you guys knew each other." Danny laughs and I roll my eyes.
"There's nothing going on between us. And we don't know each other. We just had a... run in, this morning. He stopped me falling, that's all. So stop talking about it before I tell mum that you ate all the cookies." I laugh, teasing him.
Soon enough, Danny stops teasing my and I play the radio in my car. 'Walk this way' starts playing and we both jam out all the way home.
What a day today has been.
