HAWKINS BLEEDING! CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE:
THE VISION

They got to the top after way felt like a million hours. Stephenie was sweating in places she didn't know she could and wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Made it" Dustin said placing his hands onto his hips
"Only took 5 hours" Max muttered

"Why couldn't we just play d&d?" Will said

"Or go to like... the pool or something?" Stephenie suggested as she panted tiredly

"I'm so thirsty" Lucas said taking out the water he had and gulping it all down.

"Did you seriously just drink the rest of our water?" Max asked making Lucas stop spit some back in the bottle

"What a gentleman you have Max" Stephenie smirked

After setting up the huge radio tower, they all looked up at it
"Pretty impressive, am I right?"
"Yeah"
"It better be, after all that" Stephenie sassed
"Now,are you Ready to meet my love" Dustin asked
"Okay, sure"
"Yeah"

They all watched as Dustin turned on the radio
"Suzie this is Dustin, do you copy, over" no response "just a sec she's still there, Suzie, this is Dustin, do you copy. Over"
Still no response "I'm sure she's there, maybe she's busy or something"

"Yeah" Lucas agreed
"It's around dinner time"
"Yea totally" "mhm" "ok"
"Here, Suzie this is Dustin, over"

An hour later and still no response, it was dark. Steve's shift was probably ending soon— or had ended. Stephenie laid on wills chest while Dustin was still trying to reach Suzie.

"Do you believe him?" Stephenie asked in a whispered tone
"Yeah, I guess. Do you?"
"When she picks up I will"

"Suzie this is Dustin, do you copy, over"
"Suzie this is Dustin do you"
"Dustin she not there!" Max finally said
"She's there, all right? she'll pick up"
"Maybe cerebro doesn't work" Will suggested

"Or Maybe Suzie doesn't exist"
"She exists" Dustin said defensively
"She's a genius, and she's hotter than phoebe Kate's? No girl is that perfect" Lucas said

"Is that so?" Max said sitting up
"I mean, your perfect. P-Perfect in your own special—your own special way" Lucas stammered on his words— he said things like this all the time. It was cheep entertainment hanging out with the couple.

"Real smooth Lucas" Stephenie said while laughing. Will turned to Stephenie, "your perfect" he whispered in her ear. Stephenie blushed and pecked his lips.

"Relax I was teasing, I'm obviously perfect and Dustin's obviously lying! Come on Don Juan" Max said while sticking her hand out and Lucas stood up and they started to walk away
"Where are you guys going?"

"Home" Max said simply before they ran down the hill. Dustin sighed and turned to them
"Well I guess it's just us"

Will got up "Uh, it's late I should probably get Steph home. maybe tomorrow we can play d&d or something fun, like we used to"

"Yeah" Dustin said, nodding sadly

"Welcome home" Will said before sticking an arm out for Stephenie to grab. Dustin held his head down.

"Oh Dustin" Stephenie said, making Dustins head shook up "stop by Scoops in the new mall. Steve misses you" Stephenie smiled "and for what it's worth... I think Suzie sounds great" she told the boy making his smile grow slightly

"Thanks Stephenie" He said before Stephenie turned around to follow Will down the hill.

"I feel bad" Stephenie said half way home
