Author’s Note: I’m back from the dead! I’m hoping you can forgive me for such a long absence. I’m in my last year of undergrad and it is kicking my ass. Just a quick note before you read, the earthquake in the show happens but the Upside Down doesn’t exist here. Let me know what you think and enjoy!

Your father all but demanded for you to return to Hawkins for the benefit concert to raise money to rebuild the town after the earthquake tore through the town. It would look bad if the mayor’s eldest daughter wasn’t in attendance and he was all about maintaining his image.
You hadn’t been back to town since you graduated two years ago. College was the perfect excuse not to come home even if you were only a state away. It didn’t matter that your sister was a junior and your half siblings were old enough to go to school now. You didn’t want to be around your father even if you missed your siblings and your mom.
He wanted the town to know that he was an active father by having all of his children present, even if he practically abandoned you and your sister when he remarried and started over with his new wife.
It also didn’t help that the one person you loved most in the world besides your family, sins your father, wanted nothing to do with you after your massive falling out just days before you graduated. Eddie was your closest confidant and best friend and your friendship crumbled into nothingness when he picked a fight with you after he told you he wouldn’t be graduating with you.
