"I can't believe she didn't come back." Mike said the following morning. They all expected El too come back before dark last night but she didn't. Y/n also went home last night too find her mother and kicked her father out. Nice. At least y/n won't be hearing from him anytime soon.

"She won't be far away. We can go look for her." Y/n suggested.

"I shouldn't have yelled at her." Mike said, frustrated at himself.

"Mike, this isn't your fault." Dustin said.

"Yeah, it's Lucas'." Said Mike.

"It wasn't his fault either."

"So you're saying he wasn't way out of line?" Mike asked.

"Totally, but to were you! And so was Eleven."

"Please don't argue." Y/n said but they both ignored her.

"Give me a break." Mike groaned.

"No, Mike, you give me a break! The three of you were being a bunch of little assholes! Me and y/n were the only reasonable ones." Dustin said. "But the bottom line is you pushed first. And you know the rule. You drew first blood—

"No! No way! I'm not shaking his hand." Mike argued, crossing his arms.

"You're shaking his hand!"

"No, I'm not."

"This isn't a discussion. This is the rule of law. Obey or be banished from the party. Do you wanna be banished?"

Mike looked, sulkily over at y/n who gave him a stern look.

"No." He mumbled.

"Good. We're going to get Lucas. And then we're gonna find Eleven." Dustin said and throw y/n her jacket and Mike his bag.

They arrived at Lucas' house and Mike and Dustin got off their bikes and started heading towards the front door.

"I might stay here." Y/n told them. She didn't seem to be on Lucas' good side at the moment. He thought she 'betrayed' the party.

Dustin turned. "Why?" He asked.

"I don't think I'm Lucas' favourite person at the moment. He might cooperate more if I'm not there. It's fine I'll wait here."

Mike looked at her for a couple seconds and she gave him a reassuring nod before him and Dustin went and knocked on the door. Y/n ducked out of sight.

"What do you want?" Lucas asked as soon as he opened the door.

Dustin had too smack Mike on the shoulder too get him to start talking.

"I drew first blood, so. . ." Mike said and stuck out his hand.

Lucas looked at him for a few seconds before saying "Okay, I'll shake. On one condition."

"We forget the traitors and go straight to the gate."

"Then the deals off." Mike said, quickly.

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"No, no, no, not fine! Guys, seriously? Do you even remember what happened on the Bloodstone pass? We couldn't agree on what path to take, so we spilt up the party and those trolls took us out one by one. And it all went to shit. And we were all disabled! So we stick together, no matter what!" Dustin tried, convincing.

"Yeah, I agree. But this is the party, right here in this room." Lucas said.

"What about y/n? She's been in this party longer then you and El is one of us now." Mike argued.
