Summary
When Billy moved across the country from California to Hawkins, Indiana with his father, step-mother, and step-sister, it was supposed to be a fresh start for all of them, to leave behind the ugly past in California, to go somewhere new where no one else would know them. It was supposed to be a good thing, according to his father.
Billy had never expected it to go so wrong.

Summary
October 1984, the Hargroves pull onto Cherry Lane, a quaint little street in a quaint little town of Hawkins, Indiana. Their house already set up; Neil Hargrove set it all up before they left California. They drove into town with two cars; a burgundy Cutlass, and a blue Camaro. Both filled with everything they needed.
Chief Hopper didn’t notice the Hargroves move in, didn’t notice their first days or even Billy’s first parties. He was busy with El and when he wasn’t taking care of her or at work, he was worrying about Will Byers; going with him the lab to get checked out, to make sure he really was okay.
Or, Billy Hargrove's life in Hawkins focusing on after Eleven closes the gate in S2, this time the gate is closed permanently.Bookmarked by SG4E
