cuz you and i - [Max Mayfield]

El

Now here they were inside AV club, as Will had already told Belly about what's wrong with Dart, they let her in,but not Max, she continued banging on the door as they discussed about Dart

"So he's from another dimension you say?" She asked with panick in her voice

"Yes, but you can't tell anyone, it's really risky that we told you about this they can destroy our families if they found out" Mike explained making Belly nod

"My lips are sealed, but can we atleast let her in now that we all know what's going on?" she asked the group

"No! We can't" Mike exclaimed

"Just because he's from the upside down doesn't make him bad" Dustin exclaimed when they got into an argument when suddenly they heard the box move as all of them backed away from the table Mike grabbed a mic

"Don't hurt him" Dustin warned the guy

"Only if he attacks" Mike argued

"Just open it already" Belly said to the guy as he went for the device and pressed the button to open it, Dart came into view, bigger than he was before

"Holy shit" Lucas cursed, Dart screeched as he grew his paws from his skin when they all groaned in disgust Mike went to attack him when Dustin pushed his hands off making Dart escape them and head towards the door, the door suddenly opened revealing a shocked Max as they all ran out

On the way out Dustin bumped into Max making them both fall, Dustin got up as Mike went behind Dart when Belly helped Max up

"What was that?" Max asked panicked

"Dustin's discovery" she said before running off to look for the creature

All the guys communicated through their walkies as Belly just went around not in any particular direction when she passed the gym and heard grunting, she turned towards the source and saw a girl with short hair standing in front of the door

"Are you new here" She asked which made the girl startle as she tried walking away from their, peeping inside she saw Max on the ground and Mike helping her up, she knew something was up "Hey, I know you did that" she said signalling to Max falling as the girl didn't reply "I know a good place to hide" she said which made the girl turn around

"Hide?" she asked

"Yeah, figured you might want that, let's get outta here" she said leading them behind the school to a small spot she found in the woods

She sat on the bench as she took out a chocolate from her bag offering it to the girl in front of her who was still looking around

"Don't worry, nobody comes around here alright?" she said as the girl took a seat on front of Belly, accepting the chocolate "So let's start simple alright? Hi I am Isabell, they all call me Belly" she said extending her hand as the girl took it

"I am, Eleven, El for short" she said, and it all hit Belly, the conversation of the guys she heard hiding

"So El, Mike talks about you a lot" she said "Not to me exactly, but yeah he mentions you" she said

"Really?" El asked

"Yeah, it's sickening actually" she said chuckling, she awkwardly stopped when El didn't laugh "He also said you can move things with your mind, is that right?" She asked trying to make the girl trust her

"Yes" she answered simply making Belly nod

"What happened with Will and you last year?" she asked straight up El stared at her not sure how to reply "Hey I am no trouble alright? If you wanna leave tell me, I figured you were only here to see Mike" she said getting up making El stand up with her "Where do you live?"

"In the woods with Hopper" she answered

"Alright, and you don't need to worry, I'll pretend we never met" Belly said walking away "And you'll meet Mike soon, I promise"

"When is soon?" El asked

"Soon is, just soon, I promise, and I never break promises" She said, a moment of silence passed, Belly extended her hand "Friends?" She asked El took her which took Belly by surprise

"Friends"

"Later" She said walking away

She left El there and walked through the school and into the main ground where she saw a group of people she figured Mike, Dustin and Max around Will, something was terribly wrong she ran towards them when she saw Will's mother shaking him

Belly put her hand on Will's cheek before mumbling multiple 'wake ups' she closed her eyes in defeat breathing in when she felt something pull her back, opening her eyes she was alone, everywhere it was dark, with dust particles swirling around

"What the fuck" she mumbled before seeing Will with some black misty thing going inside of him she ran towards it and softly slapped Will's cheeks in an attempt to wake him up

Nothing worked and panick was taking over her every passing second, she slid a hand through the mist in an attempt to stop it from entering the guy which made it redirect and make Belly it's victim instead, but luckily, she woke up and found her and Will looking at each other after waking up at the same moment

Belly fell to the ground, it all felt so real, everything the guys said, of them not being something Will is seeing but something that is actually happening, made sense she was breathing heavily when Will approached her, everybody looking at the two

"You saved me"
