[I AM STILL STANDING]

ME,MYSELF AND I.

•Cruel, Dreadful Silence Echoed Throughout Hawkins,A city Which Was Cursed With A Never Ending Cycle Of Misery And Deaths.But,Now-It Was Finally..The end of it all.
•Piles And Piles Of Citizens Scattered Everywhere,Everyone Was Silent,Now Sleeping For Eternity.Human Life In Hawkins Was gone..Other than One.One Who Was Always Considered A Supernatural,And He was-Standing In the middle of the Road,Silent.Dead Silent.The Only Thing He Could Hear Was His Own Breathing As He Stared Down At His Family's corpses,Faces of Which Used to Smile At Him,Now Looking Permanently At The Gloomy Red Sky.
•Will Byers,The Boy Who Had Started It All,Ended It All.He Was Still Standing,He Was Still Destined To Live.He didn't Want to, Of course.After Everything He Had Been Through,There Wasn't Really Much To Live For Anymore.He Kept Walking,Slowly-Oh So Painfully Slow.Counting His Every step,Until He Got To Them.The "Heroes Of Hawkins!"As Everyone Used To Call Them Before They Were Overpowered And Hunted Like Birds In The Wild.
•Will crouched down,Wincing A Bit At The Pain On His Body,But He Sat Down,Looking At Each Party Member-Dead Silent.Lifeless.Max And Lucas Curled Up Together-A Small Smile Curled Onto His Lips As He Thought of Some Old Memories With Them.Then,He turned And Looked At Dustin,He sighed,Dustin used to understand him-But Now Will Was Alone,Cold And Shivering,A Feeling Dustin Would Have Never Understood,Being Surrounded By Steve And Eddie And Erica..Will Shook His Head,It wasn't the Time to Think of The past.He Had to Keep moving Forward.To The exit Of Hawkins.And He had to be Quick.
•He Kept Walking,Soon Walking Turned Into Running As He Saw A Silhouette He Recognized All Too Well.Michael Wheeler Sat Against A Tree.Dead.Will Ran So Hard He Felt His Legs Give out as He dropped To the Ground Infront of his old..Friend.He held Mike In His Shaky,Cut Up Arms As He Stroked the Other's Hair Gently,A single Tear Forming in His eye,But threatening to spill.Because If he Started Crying,He Could Never Stop.
•He Rested Mike's Head on His Lap,Running His Hand Through The other's Curly Dark Raven Colored Locks.A Shaky Smile Made It's Way to Will's Face As He cupped The Other's Face In His Hands.
"Mike.. It's-Its me,Will,Will The Wise."
He shut up for a moment, Thinking of what to say,Before he Looked At The Other Again.
"I-I Wasn't-I Wasn't as Wise as you thought,Michael..I was so Stupid.You Could have survived,You Could Have Lived To See The Sun One More Day-But i was reckless and stupid and let you to rot and die.I Was Always So Mad That You Never spent time with me that much,And Now You wont get to spend any time with me At All..I Was So Overwhelmed With Anger And Jealousy..I-I.."
He swallowed down his words and felt them slide to the bottom of his stomach,He knew Mike Wouldnt be Able to Hear His Speech,His confession.The Truth.
"I wanted you all to myself,Mike.I Was so Jealous Of Eleven,She Got To Spend So Much Time With You And i Was A WallFlower.I Was So Jealous Because You Always Hugged And Looked At Her With Such Love..I wanted That Love,I Wanted your Touch-Your Hands,All over Me..But I Never Got it,Did i?I was Too Late.Michael,It was Your fault I never Liked Girls.You bastard was the only One On My Mind Ever Since Grade 4.I feel so useless Now that you're not here,To Guide me-To Help me-To Reassure Me.To Save Me,Like you Always did."
He closed His eyes,Feeling the Guilt Creeping up on Him,Swallowing Him Whole, Entering His body Just Like The Mind Flayer Did All Those Years ago.Hes going Crazy,And Mike Isnt there to be Crazy Together With him Anymore.
Stop.
Stop It!
He Hit Himself Straight To The Face To Make Himself Not Cry,He Knew He Had no More Tears Left To Cry-But Right Now,He Wanted to Cry Until Hawkins Became An Underground City Under water.He Leaned down And Hugged Mike so Tight.Not Caring If He smelled Like Shit After.
"Mike,I love You So Much,I Always Have And Always Will.I Dont Wanna Be Alone,Mike-Come Back,Please.Please-"
He turned Around,Looking As If Eleven Was There To Bring Her Boyfriend Back to Life,But she wasn't,Vecna Had Taken Her With Him.She Was Alive Somewhere,Somewhere In The Upside Down.And Speaking Of The Devil,He Felt Vecna's Footsteps coming Closer.So He Picked Up Mike's Body,Slung It Over His Shoulder-And Ran For it,He wasn't Running Away From Vecna,Nope.He wanted To Die;Tonight.Next To The Boy He Loved.The Boy He Adored.The Boy He Admired.He snatched A gun That Was Thrown Away And Ran Even faster,Reaching the Exit, But Not crossing the Border.He Turned-And stood Infront Of Vecna.The Man Responsible For Everything,He wasn't Afraid.He Closed His Eyes And Loaded Up The Pistol.
"I Refuse."
He Spoke With No Shame Or Hint Of Fear In His Voice.He Pulled it Up To The side Of His Head.
Vecna Tilted His Head,A Hint Of Confusion On His Distorted Face As He Looked At Will.
"To give you the satisfaction Of Killing Me."
Vecna Stepped Forward,Unamused As He reached Out to Will.Will Held Onto Mike Tighter.His Finger On The Trigger-A Matter Of seconds Before He Would End what He started.
"Mike,My Paladin,My Everything -Youre probably screaming at Me From Above,But I Wanna See you,See Your Gorgeous Pale Face And Perfect Everything.We'll Meet In The Next Life Later,And I Promise You With All My Might That I Will Do Anything In My Power To Make It Happen.I'll Always Be Your Cleric,And you'll Always Be My Paladin."
He smiled to Himself Silently, Opening His Eyes To Meet Vecna's.
"Goodbye You Sick MotherFucker."
He Said Before Pulling The Trigger,And Bang-Mike's Corpse Dropped To The Ground,Will's Landing Right Next to His,Both Their Brains Blown Out,In His Final Breath-Will Leaned Over And Grabbed Mike's hand.Before Closing his eyes And Muttering An I Love You.
