------------------------------------------------

Will Byers' POV:

I fell from the air, confused and scared. Mike caught me, he was panicking also. When I look up I see Mike's face, tears falling down his cheeks. A sigh of relief comes from me.

"Will!! You scared me!" Mike mentions. I have no words.

"You cannot escape." Vecna threatens.

I wish I could go up to him and just murder the bell out of that monster, but I am too injured and It is impossible for me. When I look to my stomach I see I am bleeding really bad. Blood is dripping from my chest to my stomach to Mike's lap. I can't move. I'm scared. But at least I am here with the love of my life, who is still sobbing into my neck.

Suddenly I am not being supported by Mike.

"Mike!!" El screams.

When I look to where El is looking, I see Mike being pushed onto the side of a near building, looking like he's in pain. I come to the conclusion that Vecna is holding him there.

"Will!!!" Mike says in pain.

The next thing I know I'm being pushed to the same wall as Mike.

"I know what you are, William Byers." Vecna says in a threatening tone.

My heart drops to my stomach and I get scared that Mike knows what that means. I make eye contact with Mike, who looks like he just discovered something big, which he probably did. Tears run down my face. We get pushed to the wall even harder than before, to where we almost can't breathe.

"You might as well say your last words and confess your biggest secrets now." Vecna suggests.

"No!" El cries.

I take a deep breath. I give up. I'm gonna say it. My heart is racing and I don't want to waste my last words.

So I say it.

"Mike! That day I showed you the painting, was the best and worst day of my life! You mean so much to me! It hurt my soul hearing you say you love El."

"Will... I... I-"

Rocks are being thrown to us, in a threatening way to where they're not hitting us. One hits me right next to my heart. I scream in pain. But my screams aren't the only ones. I notice El is also screaming and I am let back to the ground. I am back into the arms of the one I love.

"Agh! Will! I can't believe I have to say this! Most of my speech to El was a cover up. I just had to keep her going, and yes, I do love her, but I found out what romance and platonic means. Will..."

I am afraid of what he is going to say. I really hope it's not "I love you, you're my best friend." Because we are about to die here.

El runs over and pulls us apart, hugging me, giving me comfort... But I would rather Mike's comfort.

"Will! Are you alright?! You're hurt, we have to get you to safety!"

I look to Mike and sigh.

"El... I don't think I'm gonna make it, please let me talk to Mike for a bit."

El looks to Mike then back to me and nods, moving out of the way to watch. Her staring is making me uncomfortable. But I will say it anyway.

"That day with the painting, wasn't about El. I painted the painting for you, the heart keeps us together, Mike. El isn't very different in school, she would fit in if Angela wasn't such an ass. All of those things that I thought El was thinking, It wasn't El, in fact, she doesn't even come to me. That was me projecting. You make me feel like I am better for being different. I need you, mike."

How is he gonna take this? I'm so scared I just want Vecna to get it over with.

"The truth is, I'm scared of losing you. I'm so goddamn scared. You're all I think about. I wish I had the courage to send you more letters. I pushed you away because I was scared. I-I-I need you more than anything."

Mike pulls me in for a tight embrace. Tears are rolling down both mine and his faces. When we pull away, we aren't fully away. Mike rests his forehead onto mine.

I'm so tired.

Mike Wheeler's POV:

When I finally let go, I notice Will isn't moving anymore.

"Will?"

No answer.

"Will?!"

Still no answer.

Eleven comes closer and sobs. Her hand is on Will's chest, trying to keep his heart going. I lay my head on top of his heart.

*BUMP...BUMP...BUMP*

I take a sigh of relief and try to wipe up my tears.

Joyce and Jonathan run over, Joyce takes Will and cries.

------------

After a while, an ambulance finally comes by, taking Will and a few others. I stand leaned against a house, next to El, Lucas, and Dustin.

"So... was all of that back there... true?" El asks.

It is too hard for me to answer, so I walk away, crying once again.
