Summary
Max purses her lips. She’s never really been one for heart-to-hearts, but with Mike, somehow the words come easy. “I've never... Never really had friends. I mean, there were these girls back in California, and they were nice at first, like everyone is, but they turned out to be total bitches. They said awful things about me behind my back, and—”
“What things?”

Summary
Mike looks away; he just can’t face her. He’s suddenly so angry at himself that it hurts. What is he thinking? What is he doing?
He knows why it’s happening. He knows it’s not just hormones, which is what she’s been writing it off as for the past few months. He knows it’s because every time he sleeps he dreams about her—either all of the good moments or nightmares of the bad. He knows it’s because every time he breathes he wonders if she’s breathing too, and because he feels guilty that he can’t find her yet. No matter how hard he tries he can’t fucking find her, and what if she’s scared, what if she’s alone, what if she’s dead—
All of that. And Mr. Kowalski really is an asshole.

Summary
Hopper’s always been a firm believer in the past staying where it should be. He’s never itched to get caught up in a time that doesn’t belong to him. Better to focus on the present; on what’s right in front of him, happening exactly as it does.
The present happens to be scattered boxes, piles of sorted belongings, and one very dishevelled teenage kid.
or:
Hopper and Mike go through all the crap in Hopper’s cabin.

Summary
“It’s nothing,” she leans away from his blunt touch, hissing. “Just the same bullshit in a different spot.”
It comes out even if she doesn’t want it to. That’s always sort of been the case with Mike; the truth is blurted from her mouth before she can even blink, because he somehow draws it out of her. Friends don’t lie. It’s more than a promise. It’s an unconscious pact, a god-damned oath, and she’d made it as soon as he’d labelled her one of the party.

Summary
longing: a yearning desire.
Pain—when struck like this; at the heart of a family—often causes cracks. Cracks that don’t fill get bigger. They turn into chasms. Gaping wounds. Scars.
Their pain parallels the other’s. Like fissures in a broken window, the pain extends outward, until someone finds a big enough band aid.
Or: Mike and Nancy are hurting.
