The forest

It was quite out here, it was nice the leafs crumpling under my feet, birds chirping away; bliss. Placing my fingers onto my temples applying pressure slowly creating circles to soothe the pain. Taking a deep breath through my nose and releasing the air from my lungs through my mouth. I could hear ticking in the distance, like a clock. Closing my eyes pinching the bridge of my nose this headache was making me disillusion.

"Y/n" Hearing my name being whispered through the trees, turning to the direction the voice was calling

"Who's there?"

"Y/n my sweetie" it was familiar, it got louder as I got closer

"G-Granny?" Over the moon to hear her voice once again, picking up my pace, I had to see her.
"That's it come on" them chilling words stopped my body in its tracks, fear took me in. Something felt wrong, something wasn't right. She was gone.

Stepping back "Come here or I'll rip that tongue out" the voice roared, I could see a figure in the trees coming closer, it didn't look human.

I picked up my feet and ran, it felt like someone was chasing me, my alarms bells were going off not knowing where I was going, looking back hoping I out ran it. Crashing into something, feeling whatever it was grab my arms; I was terrified.

"P-please don't hurt me" I screamed, stiff as a board, squeezing my eyes tight.

The figure crouch down feeling a breath on my face.

"Hey it's me." He softly spoke, slowly opening my eyes in disbelief seeing them friendly chocolate eyes I couldn't help but well up falling into his chest. Clutching onto him for dear life, tears fell onto his denim vest getting it wet. My knees went weak, the metal head held me up, stroking my head with one hand

"Hey, hey, it's okay, you're okay, you're safe I promise." His voice was so calming while reassuring me holding me close. "I know a place." Nodding my head sniffling into him.

He steps back releasing me, my breath hitched again sending me into panic "take a deep breath is okay" taking my hand into his squeezing it tight, counting to 10 in my head to calm my anxiety.

"Follow me." He guides me slowly, to a picnic bench of open space, it was lovely.

I sat down, he gave me a hug from behind before sitting opposite. I stare down at my hands twiddling with my thumbs.

"Sooo" the metal head broke the silence "what was that about?" I shrugged my shoulders

"Alright silent treatment then." He drummed his hands on the table "look I'm sorry about back there, you know I wouldn't really hurt them." He rambled "it's just messing around."

"It's not that." I groggily spoke up.

"Ah she speaks!" Nudging my hands, meeting his eyes looking worn out. His smile turns into a frown of concern.

"I feel like I'm going insane" putting my face in the hands of my palms, he takes my hands away from my face, he looks up to the sky and back down

"I feel like that on daily basically" a grin appears on his face "I feel like I'm going insane now talking to Y/n Henderson, Hawkins high latest hottest babe." He lets out a soft chuckle what makes me giggle.

"Shall we get out of here?" Twirling his hair in front of his face with that menacing look.

"What about class?"

"Eh, with only 3 lessons left, sure you'll catch up in no time." Shooting a wink at me

"Fineeee." I reply, the shaggy hair boy gets up putting his hand out for me to take.
