Hawkins, Indiana was a wild place to live espefially in the 1980s. He was your big brother and recently him and Nancy were dropped from their jobs as interns at the local news. Not only that, but him and Nancy were growing apart. They didnt even seem like girlfriend and boyfriend anymore.

He was sad and struggling. He drove home and you noticed how upset he was. He went in his room immediately

Joyce, your mother, wasnt home because she was probably working with Jim Hopper. And your brother Will was doing God knows what with his friend group. Being home alone was kinda boring. Maybe you should check up on Jonathan...
