Summary
In the last few months, he’d come to hate Lucas Sinclair. Every time he saw the dark-skinned boy near his stepsister, Billy felt his blood boil. But Max would throw him one of those warning glares and he’d inevitably remember how close she’d been to making it impossible for him to ever have sex again.
Tonight had been the last straw though.

Summary
Max had known she was in trouble the moment she’d grabbed Billy’s arm that afternoon and pulled him away from Mike. She didn’t know exactly what Billy was going to do to her this weekend, but she knew it was going to be bad. When she climbed into the camaro with him after school and he didn’t say a word, she knew she was right. However scary he might be when he was screaming in her face, the silence was somehow worse.

Summary
“I think my parents are going to get divorced,” he blurted out.
Max turned her head to look at him, only caught off guard by the way he’d blurted it out. She knew his parents fought a lot. That was on a good day when Karen could get Ted Wheeler to react to something. “I’m sorry,” she said sincerely.
“I’m not.” Mike looked away. “My dad’s a jerk. She deserves better.”
She thought Karen could do better, too, but she also knew she could do a lot worse. If you asked her, marriage was seriously overrated.

Summary
Max didn’t think anything about it at first, but the more she played the game, the more awake she felt. She guessed it was the caffeine from the soda she was drinking. She didn’t drink a lot of the stuff -- her mom wouldn’t keep it in the house. Said it was pure sugar and not good for anyone.
But pretty soon in addition to feeling more awake, she felt a slight tingling feeling all over and for no reason at all, she found herself suddenly smiling.

Summary
“It’s me,” he heard Hopper say and he sighed, knowing whatever was making the chief call at this hour couldn’t be good.
“Demodogs?” he questioned, because it wasn’t often he got a phone call this late from anyone, let alone Hopper, and his mind went straight to the Upside Down.
“No. I don’t think so anyway.”

Summary
There was blood. There was so much blood, Max was sure she was going to drown in it. She didn’t know if it was hers or someone else’s, just that it was everywhere and the more she tried to get away from the steadily rising bloodbath, the more she sank down into it until only her head was above the thick, viscous liquid. She cried out as she felt someone grab onto her arm, and for one moment she thought maybe she was about to be rescued.
She woke up when someone shook her hard, bruising grip on her forearm.

Summary
“Were you expecting company?” Eddie’s voice pulled her from her thoughts as he drove his van toward her trailer, a frown tugging at his lips at the question.
“No?”
He lifted his hand and waved toward her porch.
She turned her gaze toward the porch where two familiar figures were sitting, deep in conversation. “Holy shit,” she whispered, eyes growing wide.
Will Byers and Jane Hopper were there, on her doorstep.
