Finn's pov
(S2)
Will and I remained friends. It took him a while to actually see me again but once we did, we talked for a long time. He was obviously hurt and I apologized as much as I could and we agreed to be friends again. It made sense to do so. We both still loved one another and cared and for the sake of the party we had to stay friends. Just because I wasn't in love with Will the way I once was doesn't mean I ever stopped caring.
Something was going on with Will. None of us knew what it was and sometimes I felt like I was the only one that cared. Halloween was probably when I realized it was something serious. We went out trick or treating that night. Lucas, Dustin, Will and I were dressed as the ghost busters. Max was with us too but all of a sudden Will wasn't. I was the first to notice, I was the first to find him. He was on the floor leant up against a wall.
"Will! What's wrong?" I said in panic rushing over placing my hands on both of his shoulders. He looked into my eyes, his full of tears. I decided that it was best for me to take him back to my place, without the others.
We walked back in silence. I asked the occasional, 'are you okay,' and all Will would do was nod. I took Will down to my basement where we could have some privacy away from my family. We layed all of our candy out across the coffee table in front of us.
"It's like, I'm stuck." Will finally said looking over at me. I furrowed my eyebrows slightly,
"Stuck in the Upside Down?" I asked in reply. I watched Will hesitate as he looked away.
"No..." He sadly said, he was having a hard time expressing what he was feeling.
"You know when a viewmaster gets like..." He continued,
"Caught between two sides?" I finished for him. For some reason without any context I was able to finish Will's sentence.
"Yeah yeah, like that." Will said nodding up at me, "it's like...one slides our world, and the other... the other slide is the upside down." He paused before continuing once again, "And there was this noise coming from everywhere. And then, I saw something."
"The Demogorgon?"
"No, it was like this...huge shadow in the sky. Only it was alive...and coming for me."
"Is this all real? Or like the doctors say, all in your head?" I had to ask, all we knew about was the Demogorgon but then again none of us knew what he went through.
"I don't know." He sighed, "Just please don't tell the others, okay? They wouldn't understand." Will still trusted me. I knew this wasn't the best time to say it, especially after everything but I had to,
"Eleven would."
"She would?" He asked, his face immediately dropping.
"Yeah, she always did." I started watching Will's face. I didn't want to hurt him anymore than I had but if we were being honest right now about how we feel I had to continue.
"Sometimes I feel like I still see her. Like she's still around, but she never is. I don't know, sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy." I finished.
"Me too." Will whispered in agreement.
"Well if we both go crazy, we'll go crazy together right?" I said smiling over at Will.
"Yeah. Crazy together." Will repeated smiling back at me. In that moment I felt butterflies swarm my stomach, it was an old feeling, something I hadn't felt in a while. Will felt it too, I knew he did but instead of saying anything I began eating some candy, I didn't know what else to do.
