As y/n was leaving school, she saw Jonathan Byers on the floor, picking things up, so she decided to go over and help.
"hey, need help?" she asked, looking down at what looked like torn up pictures.
"uh, if you don't mind"
"no, not at all" y/n smiled as she crouched down, and began to pic them up
"what even happened here anyway? if you don't mind me asking"
"oh uh, nothing, just... Steve Harrington"
"oh that douchebag.. did he... break this?" y/n asked as she picked up his camera that was broken into multiple pieces. Jonathan just nodded and then stood up, y/n then followed suit.
"Well, I'm sorry about that, and I'm sorry about Will... if you ever need me-"
"I know where to find you, thanks y/n" she just smiled and nodded
"I'll see you around"
"see ya" and with that, she walked towards the bike stands.

When she arrived at the power lines behind Mike's House, where the boys told her to meet them, she only saw El there.
"hey, you okay?" she asked as she saw her flinch out of a trance. She just nodded as the boys arrived on their bikes.
"El! Hop on. We only have a few hours." Mike said. When she got on, everyone then began to ride their bikes.

"Here." El said as they all arrived at Will's house
"Yeah, this is where Will lives."
"Hiding." she spoke quietly
"No, no, this is where he lives. He's missing from here. Understand?" Mike explained
"What are we doing here?"
"She said he's hiding here."
"Um... no!"
"I swear, if we walked all the way out here for nothing..." Dustin groaned
"That's exactly what we did. I told you she didn't know what the hell she was talking about!"
"Why did you bring us here?"
"Mike, don't waste your time with her."
"What do you want to do then?"
"Call the cops, like we should have done yesterday."
"We are not calling the cops!"
"Hey, guys?" y/n called as she stood, looking in the direction of where sirens seemed to be approaching
"What other choice do we have?"
"Guys!" she shouted as police cars and an ambulance drove past them. They all turned to looked before Mike spoke up
"Will..."

The group had followed the blaring sirens all the way to the bottom of the quarry and hit behind a fire engine. They watched as a body got pulled out of the water. Tension filled the air as the body fully came into view.
"It's not Will. It can't be." Mike painfully spoke. They all stared at the body, red and blue lights illuminating their features, all sounds dulled and their hearts broke into a million pieces.
"It's Will. It's really Will." Lucas whispered. Mike turned and walked away, leaning on the back of the firetruck
"Mike..." El spoke as she reached her hand out towards him but he smacked her hand away from him
"Mike? Mike, what?" he shouted
"You were supposed to help us find him alive. You said he was alive! Why did you lie to us? What's wrong with you? What is wrong with you?" he shouted at her causing her to softly speak again
"Mike..."
"What?" he shouted and waited for a reply but after a few seconds of no reply, he just walked towards his bike
"Mike" y/n tried to comfort as she tried swallowing the lump in her throat
"Mike, come on. Don't do this, man."
"Mike... Mike, where are you going? Mike!"
"Mike!" they called after him as he rode off. Dustin moved towards y/n and engulfed her in a tight hug as his tears soaked her t-shirt. She held him close and then pulled Lucas towards them as well, they all meant so much to her and with one of them gone, she felt even more protective of them.
