Y/N POV ( Ben's House )

When we get to Ben's house. 

Ben puts on a song that would play on the radios in the lab. It was our favorite to dance to when we were bored.

He starts snapping his fingers to the song.

It's called ' Should I Stay or Should I go' .

We just laughed and danced and talked for about an hour.

" So what do you think about my friends?' I ask him, popping a popcorn into my mouth.

" They look really nice, but they looked like they didn't like me all that much, or at all." Ben says sadly. 

" Hey. It's okay. They'll warm up to you. I promise, and if they're mean I'll get em. Okay?" I say putting a hand on his shoulder.

 As to comfort him, then I grab his hand and draw triangles.

When we were in the lab.

 Drawing his favorite shape on his hand calmed him down may more then words. 

He looks up at me with a big smile, showing his pearly whites.

I then think about Will and how happy he would be with his friends and family again.

 I still need to save him, I don't want him to end up dying down there.

 I don't know what the demogorgan is trying to do, but it isn't going to work.

I'm so worried about him, is he okay?

 He isn't hurt in anyway, is he?

" Hey hey hey. What did we talk about?" Ben asks me, putting his hand up to my cheek slightly rubbing it, then trailing his hand down to my chin and slightly moving it to make me look at him.

" I know, it's just- you know my friend I'm so worried that he's not going to make it in that horrible place. He'll never get to see his friends and family again. I have to save him Ben." I say my voice cracking, tears about to swell up in my eyes. 

Ben pulls me into a hug and rubs his hand on my back in circled and squares.

" How about we look for the opening?' Ben suggests, slight doubt in his voice. 

I read his mind. 

He thinks I'll be in danger again.

" Can we please Ben? I need to save him, and it has to be soon, not later. I know how it feels down there not knowing what's going to happen, next or if you'll die down there. I had my powers, but for Will he doesn't have anything to protect himself with." I say, wiping my face with the sleeve of my hoodie.

" How do you know?" Ben asks. 

" They did a test on me, made me go down there for a week. All by myself. They kept eyes on me though, because they thought I would find a portal and escape." I say, all the memories flooding back in a drastic manner.

Me screaming and kicking, running and using my powers over my limit.

Everything so blurry.

 It made me stronger.

 I have to remember that.

" Okay. We can. I'll be right back." Ben says.

 He stands up and walks out of his rom to go and grab something.

I sit down on the floor in front of his tv and flipping through the channels trying to find the one with static. 

Ben comes back with a cloth in both of his hands. He hands me one.

 " Thanks."

 I wrap the blindfold around my eyes and close them, hearing the static in the back ground to drown out any noise.

Then when I focus, and open my eyes.

 I'm in the void.

 I look to the side and see Ben .

 " Come on." 

We keep walking straight still seeing nothing, then we come up on a tree on the right and hole in the lab, the one Papa made me go through, on the left.

" There's 2?" Ben asks.

" I think, yeah. I think going through the tree is safer, but if it closes we have to go through the other one." 

Slowly turning to the hold in the wall, I shiver.

Having to go back there is my fear and I know why. 

Those years of pain, I can't go through it again if they catch me.

I start to panic and lose my focus and I transport out of the void.

Curling up in a ball.

I hear Ben sigh, and pick me up over his shoulder and place me on the bed.

I face near the wall and feel the bed sink as Ben got in beside me. 

He put his arms around my waist and kissed my head and whispered,

" Goodnight Y/N"

With me slowly falling into a dreamless sleep.

Not knowing of the events about to go down.
