The Year 1985

Chapter 15: Getting Some Help

There was Mike, sadly gazing at the view outside his window as his thoughts were occupied with Eleven's beautiful face and especially her smile. The girl disappeared similarly before when she sacrificed herself against the Demogorgon, and soon, she just completely vanished. The younger Wheeler doesn't want her to perish again even though they have already abandoned their relationship. Her disappearance has been one of his horrendous nightmares.

Suddenly, his conscience arises from his emotions after being rigorous with his friends. He regretted how the lad treated them earlier, as he realized they shouldn't have gone this terribly far. He felt so bad after the argument.

"Hey, Jonathan. We have a huge problem again." Nancy said through the phone with her voice blended softly as the tension began to occur. There was a minor uncertainty before the lad from the different line could respond, foreseeing this is another part of the fiasco that happened at Starcourt Mall. "What is it?" The elder Byers answered back as she could hear the sincere wonder referring to the tone of his voice.

"Eleven is missing and Mike is currently affected by it. He doesn't want to leave his room since he knew. I'm just worried that he might get discouraged permanently because we know how much he loved her. Please, we need your help. We have to find her and I don't care wherever or whatever it could lead us." The elder Wheeler immediately replied after he finished his interrogation. She took a slight whiff, now so much pressure was concealing her sentiments as the lady believed she doesn't know what to do anymore.

"Nancy, are you there?" Her thoughts soon came back to reality after she was called by her significant other. "Yes, I'm here. Sorry, what is it again?" The blue-eyed girl attempted to calm herself a little to at least interact with Jonathan properly this time. Her vision traveled anywhere, closing her wrist to stop herself from panicking.

"Don't worry. I'll call everyone and inform them about this. Let's immediately begin after the lockdown, probably the day after tomorrow in the morning if the government would finally allows everyone to freely stroll around. Okay? Now, love, please calm down, and always please remember we are always here willing to help you. I love you."

Her emotions at least settled when she heard those three words from someone she sincerely loves the most. "Thank you. I love you too." She simply replied and gradually ended the conversation with him, putting back the telephone in its place. The girl was incredibly satisfied when she knew that their family friends were always there for one another. That's what makes their camaraderie strong and remarkable. At least they were true, unlike her past so-called friends she always considered as real ones, but she was wrong with her impressions about them.
