Halloween used to be your favorite time of year—dressing up, the parties, the music, all of it. This year was supposed to be even better. You said it would be. You promised yourself it would be. Because that’s what you deserved, right? After fighting off creatures from the Upside Down, after losing your best friend so suddenly and no one seeming to care… not even Steve. At least, that’s how it felt to you. It seemed like he just wanted to move on. Like it was nothing. Like we didn’t kill her.

But now it’s Halloween—any excuse to get drunk and ignore how you feel. You and Steve go to a party, dressed up as Lana and Joel from Risky Business. His idea. You were down for anything this year. And it was all going great… until you got a little too drunk.
