You just arrived on the set of Stranger Things. You have been working as Joe Quinn's assistant for about two months now. It is amazing! He is so kind, so sweet, and utterly delicious. Even though they say celebs can be full of themselves, he isn't. He has never treated anyone with disrespect or crassness. Your job mostly consists of getting him drinks, food, if he needs something from the store, or if he needs you to answer important business calls. For the most part he likes to be independent. You just help when you can, plus the pay isn't too shabby either.

You go over and grab a two bottles of water, the brand is Core. He starts every day the same. A nice cold bottle of water and makeup and hair. You head off to the makeup and hair trailer. As you look down at your outfit you feel proud. Accomplished in other words. In the past year, you have moved from (your house) to California. You never dreamed this would happen. You live in a nice apartment with your boyfriend Derrick. Derrick.. is different. *You start to become sad the more you think of him.* He isn't always the nicest but it's not like he's mean. That's what you thought anyway. You have been living with Derrick for about four months. You arrive at Joes trailer with the waters. You knock on the door.

"Hey! Come on in Y/N! How are you today?" Joe says loudly. "I am doing alright today. Here is your water *You hand him his water and he takes a huge drink.* How are you? I see lots of progress!" *You smile at him and he returns it with a goofy smile.*"Thank you so much. Yeah just getting ready for the day. I don't think I need anything for awhile so you are welcome to hang out if you'd like." "Thank you but I think I will go to my car. I'll check in about half an hour or so. Let me know if you need anything!"

*You turn around and start walking back to your car.*
On your way to your car thoughts started to appear. Why did he always ask if you wanted to hang out with him? It's not like you are up to his level. Look at him.. you start to feel even more saddened when you get a text. It's from Derrick. It reads "Hey Y/N. Working late again tonight. Don't wait up, like I care." As I said, not always the nicest. You text back saying "Thank you for letting me know. Pizza will be in the fridge."
You grab your cigarettes from your purse and light one up with your favorite lighter. It has bats on it. How cute.

After your cigarette and some thinking you realize there's no reason to be sad, or alone. You always feel alone these days and today that is going to change.

You get out of your car and flick your cigarette into the road. You grab your purse and head back to Joes trailer with a smile on your face.
