     News  had  broken  to  him  when  he  had  seen  not  two,  but  one,  enter  the  trailer  from  his  window.  He  was  well  aware  of  what  had  caused  it,  but  he  didn’t  want  to  believe  it.  His  own  son,  Kurt  had  alerted  him  of  what  was  going  on  while  he  was  tending  to  a  drunk  and  depressed  Wayne.  A  phone  call  consisting  of  shaky  breathes  and  unsure  statements.  ❛  Dad,  dad…  someone’s  in  the  Munson  trailer,  there’s  yelling  and  there’s  some  weird  light…  I  think  it’s  Carver  fucking  with  their  home…  dad  you  need  to  get  here,  now.  ❜  That’s  all  he  said  before  hanging  up.  Once  he  put  the  phone  back  onto  the  holder,  he  had  Joan  watch  over  Wayne,  refusing  to  share  with  him  what  he  had  been  told  since  he  didn’t  want  to  rattle  his  friend  in  a  drunken  state  of  mind.  Robert’s  seen  him  get  out  of  hand,  and  when  it  came  to  his  nephews  he  knew  Wayne  would  let  hell  break  loose  to  save  them.  

     He  caught  the  group  of  kids  in  the  middle  of  god  knows  what,  and  in  rambled  tones  they  explained  to  him  what  was  going  on.  Another  world  existed  exactly  like  Hawkins,  and  it  was  the  cause  of  all  the  hell  that  broke  loose  in  the  small  town  over  the  years.  At  first,  Robert  thought  he  was  living  in  some  sort  of  nightmare,  a  dream  that  carried  on  way  too  long  than  it  had  to,  but  he  soon  had  to  face  reality  when  the  Munson  twins  informed  him  of  their  plan,  begging  him  to  keep  their  uncle  in  the  dark  about  it.  They  knew  too  that  he’d  involve  himself,  let  his  emotions  get  the  best  of  him,  and  end  up  getting  himself  hurt.  Robert  had  put  his  faith  in  the  boys,  believing  them  when  they  said  that  they  would  be  fine,  that  they  both  would  make  it  out  alive  with  only  battle  scars  to  remember  what  had  taken  place.

     He  knew  what  he  had  to  do,  he  had  to  take  care  of  Wayne  while  these  kids  fought  tooth  and  nail  for  this  godforsaken  town.  

     But  as  he  watches  as  only  one  of  the  Munsons  goes  into  what  was  left  of  their  home,  Robert  knew  that  something  had  gone  horribly  wrong.  Heart  races,  beads  of  sweat  collect  along  his  brow,  Wayne.  How  was  Wayne  going  to  find  out  about  this?  He  knew  his  friend  wouldn’t  be  able  to  handle  the  news,  drinking  himself  to  death  in  order  to  cope,  and  if  Robert  refuses  to  serve  him  at  what  was  left  of  The  Alibi  Wayne  would  stumble  out  of  the  bar,  into  his  car,  and  find  someplace  that  would  let  him  destroy  himself.  Memories  flood  to  his  mind  of  what  Wayne  was  like  back  in  their  youth,  wild,  untamed,  and  constantly  destroying  himself.  Chips  gained  from  maintaining  his  sobriety  from  harder  coping  methods  of  choice  going  down  the  drain.  So,  he’d  let  him  drink  if  it  kept  him  away  from  the  rest.  

     A  tear  rolls  down  his  cheek,  while  the  Munsons  weren’t  blood,  they  were  still  family.  The  twins  like  his  own  nephews  and  Wayne  an  uncle  to  his  kids.  The  blood  of  the  covenant  is  thicker  than  the  water  of  the  womb.  His  children,  having  grown  up  with  them  wouldn’t  be  able  to  handle  the  news  well  either.  Kurt  was  more  of  the  type  to  pick  fights,  either  he’d  win  the  fight  pretending  the  face  his  fists  met  where  whatever  caused  his  anger,  or  throw  the  towel  in  it  thinking  that  physical  pain  felt  better  than  emotional  pain.  Sid  was  the  type  to  lock  himself  away,  indulging  in  things  harmful  to  his  health.  And  Joan?  God  knows  what  she  would  do  when  her  emotions  got  the  best  of  her.  But  it  was  Robert  who  couldn’t  show  weakness  in  front  of  anyone  else,  it  was  Robert  who  had  to  hide  his  heart,  put  on  a  brave  face,  and  never  let  himself  fall  to  his  knees.  He  was  the  head  of  his  family,  he  had  to  take  care  of  everyone  else  before  he  could  take  care  of  himself.  

     How  is  Wayne  going  to  react  to  hear  that  Robbie  was  the  rotting  pit  of  a  prized  peach?

“𝐃𝐔𝐃𝐄, 𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐦𝐚𝐧.” Keys jingled in Robbie’s hand, a grin on his face as he pointed over his shoulder to the impala that was parked next to the Camaro at the Mayfield & Hargrove’s trailer. Robbie enjoyed going to Walmart with Robert—it was fun, and it sure helped him not think of all the bullshit weighing on his mind. “𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈? 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐈’𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐭. 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥? 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡? 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐡?”

     Thankfully  Robbie  was  around  to  save  his  ass  with  his  last  minute  shopping.  Little  trips  like  this  were  something  he  looked  forward  to,  either  with  all  the  boys  or  just  one,  even  though  to  some  other  parents  would  find  something  like  this  stupid,  Robert  thought  just  running  simple  errands  could  bring  the  best  of  memories.  ❝  This  time  around  we  gotta  focus  on  what  we  need  and  only  buy  what  we  need.  ❞  

     Robert’s  left  the  store  one  too  many  times  with  useless  things  that  he  didn’t  plan  on  picking  up,  such  as  kites  that  ended  up  getting  set  on  fire  (  it  didn’t  end  well,  Kurt’s  jeans  went  up  in  flames  since  he  spilled  some  lighter  fluid  on  them,  it  wasn’t  funny  as  it  was  happening  but  you  best  believe  after  they  put  him  out  they  were  all  rolling  around  laughing  ),  or  the  time  they  got  kicked  out  of  the  store  for  causing  a  scene  with  one  of  the  church  kid’s  parents  (  to  this  day  Robert  couldn’t  stand  that  family,  constantly  talking  about  how  great  their  son  was,  little  did  they  know  their  precious  boy  tried  sneaking  into  The  Alibi  with  a  botched  fake  I.D  ). ❝  We  just  have  to  get  fireworks,  and  maybe  some  beer,  possibly  some  hotdogs  too.  ❞

“Yeah, mistook me for the younger, huh? Totally get it. We’re literally the same. Two sides of the same braincell—It’s kinda poetic, if you think about it.”

OPEN STARTER.

     ❝  It  ain't  too  hard  to  tell  the  two  of  ya  apart,  you're  acting  like  you  and  Ed  don't  live  right  next  door  to  me.  ❞  While  his  boys  weren't  identical  now,  they  were  when  they  were  younger,  it  only  took  him  a  couple  days  to  figure  out  which  one  was  which.  ❝  The  only  thing  that'd  make  it  a  challenge  is  if  you  two  got  the  same  tattoos.  ❞

@sersumdeorsum​  said: ❝  Fuck  father's  day.  ❞ 

     It's  a  slow  day  at  The  Alibi,  the  boy  before  him  uttering  things  here  and  there,  Robert  not  paying  much  mind  until  Mikey  would  ask  for  another  drink,  but  his  most  recent  comment  grabbed  his  attention.  ❝  Fuck  father's  day.  ❞  He  doesn't  know  what  to  say  in  response.  Robert  knows  that  the  Hargrove's  didn't  have  a  good  father  figure,  and  they  might  see  it  as  a  bit  too  late  for  them  to  rekindle  things  with  Neil.  He's  met  the  patriach  of  the  family,  he  came  in  the  bar  already  shit  faced,  then  got  kicked  out  after  losing  a  game  of  pool.

     While  Robert  may  not  be  the  best  father,  he  tried  his  best,  making  sure  that  his  kids  were  happy  before  himself.  But  it  had  to  be  his  fault  that  their  mother  left,  none  of  them  held  it  against  him,  yet  he  can't  help  but  feel  like  their  life  would've  been  better  if  he  had  made  his  wife  happy.  Or  maybe  it  would've  been  worse.  He  sure  as  hell  didn't  know.  ❝  You  don't  got  anyone  in  your  life  who  could  take  that  role  on?  Even  if  he's  not  your  dad  there's  gotta  be  somebody,  right?  ❞

Father Day’s Meme

“Wait, are you a father?” “Any man can be a father. Blood doesn’t have to be involved.” “Fuck father’s day.” “It’s like Mother’s Day except for the non-existent parent.” “I’m taking my Dad out today.” “You’ve been like a father to me so, Happy Father’s Day.” “Do the kids have planned anything for you?” “Do you have anything planned for him?”  “A Father doesn’t tell you that he loves you, he shows you.” “Well. This day would mean something to me if I had a Father.” “I miss him.” “I would have been cooking dinner for Dad today.” “I don’t think he realizes what today is.” “Father’s Day in my house was letting him have control of the TV all day.” “You have…‘father’s day’ traditions?” “I accidentally picked out a Birthday Card so I had to cross out the Grand from Granddad. Do you think he’ll notice?”
