The group split up, Dustin and Max inside the building, Mike, Lucas, and I outside the school. Unfortunately, we were the ones who found him.

"Stop fidgeting, he's fine he just wandered off." Lucas tried comforting me after seeing me mess with my hands.

"You're right. But you know me. I'm always worried about you idiots." I teased. He chuckled and gave me a side hug. 

"Well, I guess he's not out here." Lucas sighed. 

"Guy!" Mike turned and pointed towards the field. 

"Lucas." I tugged on his sleeve my face was pale. Will was out in the field, but he wasn't normal. His eyes were rolled back in his head, and he was standing but not moving. 

Lucas and I ran to Will to get him to come back to us, "Will, come one." Lucas tried tugging on his sleeve but Will stayed the same.

It was my turn to try now, "Will wake up." I said scared but not letting it show, "I don't like this, Will, wake up." I started yelling at him. 

"Go find Dustin, I'll stay here with him," Mike demanded shaking Will, trying to get him to wake up.

Lucas and I ran into the building and saw Mrs. Byers but we didn't have time to question why she was there. "The field." Lucas and I pant as Lucas notified them of Will's location before we run back to Will and Mike. 

"Will." Mike shook Will still trying to get him to wake up. "I just found him like this. I think he's having another episode." He told Mrs. Byers, as she ran up to Will.

"Will! Will! Will!" Mrs. Byers held Will by his arms. "Sweetie, wake up! It's Mom." Her voice began to shake, she looked at us, distressed. "Will, WAKE UP!" She shouted. "Will, can you hear me?" 

Mike looked at Will like he was about to cry. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it and he squeezed back as I saw tears brimming in his eyes. Seeing him cry made me want to cry. 

"Will, just please wake up." Mrs. Byers begged. "please wake up, it's Mom." She began shaking him, "It's me" His eyes began to twitch violently and he began shaking on his own. I couldn't watch anymore. I hugged Mike and buried my head in his shoulders so I wouldn't have to look. 

Not even a full second later Mike pulled me off and turned me around just as Will's eyes shot open and he gasped. 

✩✩✩

Mrs. Byers walked out of the building with Will, her arm on his back. We followed her out of the building and watched as they drove off. 

"Did that not freak you guys out?" Max said ruining our moment. 

"Two episodes in a day." Lucas sighed.

"It's getting worse," Mike said as he watched me sit down on the steps of the school. He sat next to me and rested his head on my shoulder.

"You think it's true sight?" Lucas asked Mike. Mike and I looked up at Lucas and Mike shook his head signaling for Lucas not to talk about it in front of Max. 

"What's true sight?" Max asked.

"It's nothing." Lucas looked away from Mike's death glare and Max's questioning look. 

✩✩✩

I rode to school with Dustin seeing as everyone else already left. We sat our bikes in the rack and looked around for everyone else. 

"Where are they?" I ask looking around. 

"I don't know but follow me," Dustin said walking off.
