mike wheeler
i woke up to the sound of yelling, i walked into the living room and will was talking to.. el? then he looked over at me.
"get the fuck out now wheeler." what?
"will- what are you talking about?" i said quietly.
"GET OUT! I FUCKING HATE YOU!" my eyes widened.
"what did i do wrong?.." will clenched his fists.
"what the fuck do you think michael? I OPENED MY EYES! before we even got together, you made me feel so goddamn unloved. NOW SUDDENLY YOU LOVE ME?" tears started rolling down his face and i walked over to him.
"y-you know i've always loved you though..?" will slapped me. and then came the tears.
"you don't love me, you love the attention i give you." he said calmly and wiped his tears. "SO GET THE FUCK OUT!" he shoved me hard and i hit my head on the table.
but then.. i woke up? i sat up and gasped, wheres will?! i got out of the bed and ran into the living room, and there he was talking to dustin and his mom. i ran to him and hugged him.
"hey mike, i thought you were asleep?" i looked outside and it was still dark. i sat down beside him and laid my head on his shoulder. he put his arm around me and continued talking. i fell asleep.
i woke up and it was still dark, and i was laying with will asleep on the couch. did dustin leave? no, he probably took wills bed. i got up to use the bathroom, and i touched my face. cant even heal properly, constantly being beat up. then i heard the front door slam, and i ran into the living room, and a man was standing there. he saw will and walked over to him, and touched his face.
"who the fuck are you?!" i ran over to him and pushed him. he looked at me with anger filled eyes.
"who are YOU?" he said angrily.
"i'm mike wheeler, now why the fuck are you here?" he laughed.
"i'm will's father." he smiled.
"lonnie?" if so, we were in trouble. i ran to will you try and get him to wake up. then the man punched me. great.
"WILL! WAKE UP!" he shot up and looked around, and when he saw lonnie he froze in fear, lonnie punched me again and shoved me up against the wall. i struggled to get up and he walked over to will and pushed him on the table in the living room, will groaned in pain. i tried to get over to him but i was too weak. lonnie started punching will and then he pulled out a knife. will tried to run but lonnie grabbed his shirt. i screamed to try and get someone's attention, and joyce walked out of her room, and she saw lonnie and ran over to him, pulling him off of will. i tried to get up again, but failed, so i crawled over to him.
"YOU FAGGOT! IM GONNA KILL YOU!" will froze up, not being able to move. i touched his face and he looked at me. i looked and lonnie and joyce and lonnie stabbed her in the arm and she screamed in pain. then dustin ran out, and without hesitation he ran over to us and helped both me and will up.
"dustin take will and get the fuck out of here." before they could leave, his dad ran over to us and knocked dustin out, and then grabbed wills neck. i froze up. i ran over to him and tugged on his arm, i couldn't really do much.
"let him go!" will started crying.
"of course you're gonna cry! YOURE NOT A FUCKING MAN!" he slammed him against the floor and got on top of him and started punching him. wills face was bleeding bad and he eventually passed out. i couldn't do anything. i started crying, and i ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife, then i ran back and stabbed lonnie in the neck. i shoved him off of will and sat beside will and lifted his head up.
"will, hey wake up! please will! wake up! it's me mike i'm right here." shit shit. i sat him down gently and ran to the phone to call nine-one-one. my voice was shaky, and once they told me they'd be there soon, i got off the phone and ran back to will. i laid his head on my lap and held his hand. oh god i was panicking. they finally arrived, and they took everyone in the house except for me. i ran to the phone again to call nancy to get her to pick me up and take me. she told me to just wait.
nancy finally arrived and i ran outside and got into the car. i couldn't wait any longer.
"what the fuck happened mike?" i was too shaken up to explain. she put her hand on my shoulder and smiled slightly. "it's gonna be okay mike." i started sobbing. why cant me and will have a break..? we got to the hospital finally and i ran inside, and i had to wait in the fucking waiting room. i was a mess. the whole party came in, and el walked over to me and hugged me.
"mike, it's gonna be okay. he's strong, he'll be fine." this was my fault. if only i didn't leave him alone.
"michael wheeler, you can see will byers now." i lifted up and i hugged el back, not wanting to be rude. then i ran into wills room.
"will i'm so sorry i shouldn't have left you alone." he held my hand and and squeezed it. i sat down on the chair and i stayed there beside his bed. the doctors surprisingly let me stay. will had fell asleep but i didn't. i stayed awake, because i didn't want to leave him alone again. there was too much on my mind. then everything went to hell.
