====================================

Mitch opened her eyes, looking around. She realized she was in the hospital. She went to get up but she was cut off by a voice.

"You have terrible timing." Steve said. She looked at him, the boy sitting in a chair next to her. There was a blanket on him, almost like he stayed there the whole time.

Which he did. Not that Mitch knew that.

"You're mom and Dustin went down to the food court to get food. Something about Dustin wanting pudding- I don't know- he's a really weird kid." He said making her smile.

Her smile then quickly faded, remember the last events, "Steve-,"

"Will is okay." Steve answered her thoughts. She smiled in relief, tears forming in her eyes. "He's actually in a room a couple floors down."

"What about the demogorgan?" She asked. "It's gone right?"

"Yeah. Yeah it's gone."

She smiled, "I can't believe we killed it." She chuckled.

Steve's smile faded, knowing he had to tell her. "Mitch- we um- we didn't kill it."

Her eyebrows furred. "What do you mean?"

"We didn't kill it." He said, "Eleven did."

She noticed his face, knowing that it was good that she was the one to kill it.

"Steve- where's El?" She asked, her voice shaking.

He looked at her sadly, "Mitch-,"

"No." She sniffled, "Please don't tell me she's dead. She's just a kid, she can't be."

"She saved everyone else." Steve said holding her hand, "She decided to, she was the only one that could."

Mitch let out a small cry, her heartbreaking. Steve pushed her hair out of her face, brushing the tear that fell.

Right after brushing the last tear, Dustin came in, mouthful of pudding. He looked at Mitch, seeing her awake. He gulped down the chocolate pudding.

"When the hell did you wake up?" He asked rushing over.

She smiled, "You okay?" She asked him.

"Your the one in a hospital bed yet you're asking me that." Dustin said.

"I heard about eleven." She said quietly, "I'm sorry."

He stayed quiet, looking down, "But I also heard about Will." She smiled. "I told you everything would work out."

"Hey I told you that!" Steve interrupted.

"Yeah what goes around comes around- whatever." Mitch groaned as she sat up, "I want food."

"Woah- can we just check with the nurse to make sure your allow to get out of bed." Steve said trying to kept her in her bed.

"I want cookies or something." Mitch got up, bring the IV pole with her.

"You-," Steve tried to help her. She just pushed him away, stretching and walking out of the room.

"I don't know why you try man it's no use." Dustin told him. "So another question- why are you with Nancy when you like my sister?"

"What? That's- thats neither here nor there okay?" Steve stuttered, Dustin continuing to eat his pudding and watch the older boys reaction. "Me and Mitch were just friends, really good, close best friends. Okay? That's it!"
