Summary
It’s drugs.
May knows it’s drugs, the same way she knows the squeak of the living room floorboard, the blue-white of the sink fluorescent clicking on at three a.m., the way your breath hisses when you think you’ve been caught. A carbon-copied list of the year she was sixteen, living with her dad and step-mom in Van Nest. Grades dwindling, nights stretching longer and longer.
or,
May Parker thinks she knows what's going on with her nephew. May Parker is very wrong.

Summary
It happens when he gets a phone call. It’s around 10:30 at night. El is asleep on the couch, and Jim is nearly there himself when the phone starts to ring. He picks it up, clearing the sleep from his throat. "Hello?"
“Oh thank god,” He hears Nancy sigh. The relief is nearly palpable through the phone. “It’s Mike."
Goddammit.

Summary
Mike knew love, knew when he was a child it looked like Mom. As he got older, it started to look like dinner at the Byers house, the easy way they all spoke and shared. It keeps morphing. He’s not sure if he likes the way he can’t keep up.
With Nancy, I love you has always meant I’ll always protect you. I love you has always just been the things she’d do for him in a heartbeat, like stay home. It’s just as true and honest as if she’d said the words themselves. Tonight, I love you is: I’ll miss you, I swear.
OR
Missing conversations from the hospital.

Summary
And here’s the thing. If Buck was paying just a little more attention, he probably would’ve clocked what the pain in his middle meant a lot sooner. It wouldn’t change the outcome, sure, but he’d at least be ahead of the curve.
The worst part is that it’s all rather obvious in retrospect, because the signs are all there. The flickering lights. The gymnasium air rippling and warping like heat off pavement. The dark patches on everyone’s suits and dresses.
He should’ve seen it.
But all he sees is Eddie. Everything else is just white noise and set dressing.

Or: Buck's never been to prom.
