you were never supposed to stay. you came to hawkins, indiana fresh off the boat from italy for school. a quiet town for you to get your diploma and go back. until there was things lurking in the dark. you worked along-side the party and helped defeat hawkins. robin became your best friend, max and eleven looked up to you, will, lucas, dustin, and mike all loved your cooking so much thy would show up at your house almost every night. and steve. steve harrington loved you in that all-in, quiet and steady way. steve harrington who became your boyfriend and never missed a chance to tell you how lucky he was to have the most beautiful girl on the planet. 5 years you spent with him. with them. fighting vecna. then vecna was dead. for good. and everyone was scarred. and then you get a call from italy. your papers are up. your dads sick. and you have to go home. so you do. you pack up 5 years of your life. you say goodbye. and you leave. you leave robin trying not to fall apart, you leave max and eleven trying to be grown, you leave will, lucas, mike, and dustin to no more “family dinners”, and you leave steve, you leave steve begging for you not to go but knowing you don’t have a choice. and when you get to italy you wrote at first. told them about it. but eventually the time zones and life and the distance won. and you lost all contact. now. 5 years later. you come back. you buy a house that’s far too big for one person. you drive your white mercedes into that town. and you don’t know how to handle the reactions. and they don’t know your dad died and left you a fortune.
