Chapter Text
Lucas Sinclair is a good friend. He always has been. He's always been the one the Party comes to in times of need. However, after the Byers & Eleven moved to California, he began to feel himself drift further and further from the rest of them. At first, he tries to maintain some semblance of a connection. He writes to Will and El respectively, even calls them once in a blue-moon. But the gap only widens with the start of freshman year. Moreover, he had stopped writing Will. He didn't even mean to, it just sort of happened. Then, he receives a letter on February 4th which causes him to question how good of a friend he truly is. Will writes about what's really been going on in California, and what a mess everything's been since they left... and since Lucas stopped writing. Now knowing how Will really feels, Lucas is left with a choice to make. And he's positive it's the hardest choice he's ever made in his life.
