will byers
i woke up and mike was looking out the window. i suddenly realized that the everyone else was still with max.
"HOPPER! it knows el is there! at max's house and we left them there!" hopper looked in the mirror.
"trust me kid. if we're gonna fit everyone in the car, we need two cars. and you and mike are staying at your house. plus we have to pick up nancy, steve, jonathan, and robin."
"steve can drive him and robin, and nancy can drive herself. we can stay with you!"
"listen kid, you're hurt enough as it is, and you NEED TO STAY SAFE! JUST FOR NOW! we're going to come back." we finally arrived at my house and i got out and slammed the door. mike got out and followed me.
"will wait up!" i walked inside ignoring him. he came inside and closed the door behind him.
"will please, its okay." i punched a wall. mike came over and grabbed my arms.
"WILL! stop it. it's gonna be okay." i pulled away from him.
"NO ITS NOT MIKE! everyone sees me as weak and apparently i can't handle things by my fucking self. SO YEAH! IM WEAK! IM FUCKING WEAK!" i sat down on the couch and covered my face. he sat down beside me.
"will byers. you are so strong. you survived in the upside down for a week, and you lived with part of the shadow monster inside of you. you've lived through many things, even through the bullying and being abused. you are so strong. i mean that. okay?" i looked at him and tears filled my eyes. i hugged him tightly.
"i love you michael wheeler."
"i love you, william byers." steve and robin came in through the door.
"hey guys, what's up, what's happening?" they came and sat down on the couch with us, and we explained.
"are you being for real?" robin asked. me and mike nodded. then nancy came in, saw mike and hugged him.
"oh my god i'm so glad you're okay!" mike hugged her back.
"well yeah why wouldn't i be?"
"once hopper called me, i panicked and got worried." mike looked at her weirdly.
"why worry about me? weirdo." she pulled away from him.
"because you're my brother, obviously." he rolled his eyes. we heard distant yelling from outside and mike ran outside and i went to go change, completely forgetting to. when i was done i walked back into the living room and mike and max were trying to get el inside, and i looked down at her leg. it was bleeding really bad, so i ran to my bathroom and looked for the bandages and stuff to help clean it. and then i ran back into the living room and el was sitting on the couch, max holding both of her hands while she groaned in pain. i got a cotton swab and poured something to clean the wound on it, then rubbed it on els ankle.
"just breathe, okay el?" then when i look back down something was moving inside of it.
"what the hell happened?! THERES SOMETHING MOVING!" she screamed in pain again.
"the mind flayer. or shadow monster attacked her." max said. jonathan was here, and he ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife a started burning the tip. then he ran back with a wooden spoon as well.
"this is gonna hurt like a bitch, bite down on this." she bit down on the wooden spoon and jonathan started cutting open the wound more. i ran to mikes side and buried my face in his shoulder. mike used one hand to hold mine, and place the other on el's shoulder.
"el, just keep breathing." jonathan started to reach his hand into her leg and she took the wooden spoon out of her mouth.
"I GOT IT! l-let me do it." she reached her hand out and started using her powers to pull the thing out of her leg, she screamed while doing so, once she got it out she slammed it across the room and hopper stepped on it. jonathan then cleaned it off once again, and wrapped bandages on it. el hugged max and mike let go of her shoulder. he turned to me and kissed me. we then heard a car pull up outside, and mike went to go look.
"it's billy." max looked in surprise.
"why would he be here?!" she asked worriedly. but then i felt him. he was activated, somewhere.
"lock the door." i said. mike looked at me.
"LOCK THE GODDAMN DOOR AND SOMEONE CLOSE THE WINDOWS!" mike locked it and my mom ran to close the blinds. billy started knocking on the door. hopper looked at joyce.
"i want you to take eleven, max, and really anyone you can fit in the car and get the hell out of here. out the back. just wait until he comes inside, joyce you can peek out from the side to see him come inside. and then just get the hell out of here. and do it quick." me and mike looked at each other.
"i'm staying here." nancy looked at mike when he said that.
"no the hell you are not, you are getting out of here." mike looked at her again.
"i'm staying here, deal with it. we're not all gonna leave hopper here by himself. he can't handle billy alone. i'm always forced to stay away, when will went missing i wasn't allowed to search for him. i was forced to stay safe or whatever. i'm staying here." we all stared at him, then heard knocking again.
"OPEN UP!" i walked to mikes side and max ran with joyce and el, lucas stayed with us and pulled out his wrist rocket. dustin and jonathan left, nancy, robin, and steve stayed. mike pulled me back to stand behind hopper with him and hopper opened the door.
"where is she?" billy slammed the door behind him. we heard both cars starting up and billy almost left to go outside, and hopper punched him. billy punched him back and nancy pulled out a gun.
"back up." billy smirked at her and walked over to her. he put his hand on her face and put the gun down.
"nancy wheeler." mike picked up the nail bat and ran over to him and swung it at him.
"ASSHOLE!" the nails stabbed through billy's arm and he didn't react. he just turned around and grabbed mikes neck. he squeezed and mike struggled to breathe. i ran over to billy and started punching him. billy slammed mike up against the wall. mike gasped for air and hopper ran over to nancy, steve and robin.
"start up the car, i got this. leave mike with me, all four of you just go." i looked at him with widened eyes and looked at mike getting strangled again. i stood there in shock. nancy grabbed my arm and pulled me out the door.
"MIKE!" mike kicked his stomach and fell from his grip. hopper ran over to billy and held a gun to his head.
"leave the kid alone." was the last thing i heard before i was in the car trying to get out. i pulled my knees to my chest and cried. steve and robin switched spots so steve was sitting beside me in the back.
"hey, kid. mike is gonna be okay, alright?" steve hugged me, which was really unlike him. i hope he's right.
