Stranger Things 【Mike X OC】

S1 CH 1 The Vanishing of Will Byers

Later that night, at the Porter Household, the Porter Family were eating dinner in an awkward silence.

Nora looked away from her plate and looks up towards her family. They continued eating their food and not saying a single word to each other. She looked at them back and forth, from right to in front of her, her family still eating quietly.

Nora looks over to her right hand where she was holding her fork. She brought it up to her plate and starts to clank it from side to side, trying to get her family's attention.

She looked up and saw that they were still eating their dinner and not even looking towards Nora.

She started to get frustrated as she bit her lip. She set her fork down and brought her right hand up to her mouth. She cleared her throat and waited for her family's response. They didn't even react, so she cleared her throat again, but a bit more loudly. Yet again, they didn't even respond. Nora cleared her throat again and they still didn't give notice to her.

Nora let out a heavy sigh. She put her hands on the wooden table and began to tap her palms on the table.

"Soooo . . . are we going to talk about the elephant in the room?" Nora finally spoke.

Her mother took a single bite of her food. "There's nothing to talk about, Mija."

"Are you serious?" Nora scoffs with her mouth agape. "Alright, I'm just gonna say it here and now. We should be out there looking for Will."

"Absolutely not." Mrs. Porter said with a stern voice, slamming her fork on the table. "We've been over this, Nora. Your Uncle Hopper said—

"I don't care what Uncle Hopper said." Nora told her mother.

"Nora!" Both Mr. and Mrs. Porter yelled.

"He's not even a real cop, Ma." Nora's older sister, Nina interjected.

"Nina!" Mrs. Porter yells.

"Will is missing, Mamá. I'm not just gonna sit here and do nothing." Nora said.

"Yes you are because your not leaving this house unless your going to school." Mrs. Porter said.

"Wha— but Mamá!" Nora slams her hand on the table.

"No 'buts' Nora. You and Nina are staying in here while your Uncle Hopper and the police take care of this and search for Will. End of discussion." Mrs. Porter took her fork and continued to eat her food.

Nora was about to say something but she instead slams her hands on the table. She stands up from the table and hurries off, her Jack Russell Terrier, Ralph follows her.

She goes down the hall to the back door and places her hand on the golden knob.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Mija, where are you going?" Mrs. Porter turns around.

Nora awkwardly stood there. "Uhhh . . . I'm going outside to my treehouse?"

"Did you not hear what I just said? I said your not going anywhere but school and that includes not going to the backyard and going to your treehouse." Mrs. Porter said sternly.

"What?!" Nora exclaimed. "Why?!" She went back to the kitchen and slams her hands on the wooden table.

Mrs. Porter drops her fork on the plate and gives Nora a stern glare.

"Did you not hear me? I'm sorry, I don't think I spoke that in Spanish. Until we know that Will is safe and sound, no one in this house is leaving."
