Part 2

Mikes POV:

Will ran off so quickly I wondered if he was okay. He's been so off lately and it's been breaking my heart. Because he's my best friend of course.. I try to tell myself it's just from what happened in the upside down and the possession, but something tells me that was it. I must have zoned off for too long because el was waving a hand in my face while max said "earth to mike? Hellooo?" "Huh?" I said looking around. "Time for class mike" El says sweetly while grabbing my hand. Her hand is weirdly cold and makes the hairs in my neck stand up. Her hand is always kind of cold though. "Shouldn't we check on will first" I say under my breath but everyone heard. "Nah he's fine probably got a girlfriend" Lucas said while him and Dustin chuckled. For some reason that pissed me off and I rolled my eyes. "I'm going to go grab will" I say while already speed walking to the boys bathroom. I hear a wince and sucking in air through there teeth like there in pain. I start worrying because it sound just like will when we heard him crying through the walkie talkie. I bust open the last stall to find will with his shirt pulled up and bloody lines on his stomach, he had a small bloody razor in his hand which looked like he had got it out of a pencil sharpener. I stared at him with wide eyes and he just stared back with panic in his eyes. "W-will... wha-what are you... what are you doing" I ask sheepishly. "Oh I- uhm.. I.. it's this thing I have to do! It's called blood letting it's for a stomach condition I have, you basically bleed out the disease. People have done it for years" he says. We learned about that in history yesterday AND learned it didn't work and doctors stopped recommending it. I didn't know how to deal with this so I just nodded and pretended to believe him.

Wills POV:

Shit shit shit shit

I can't believe he just saw this I-I should have been a million times more careful. My mind started to scramble, "Ok will. But.. are you ok?" Mike asks. "I'm fine" I automatically responded. "Are you sure?" Mike asks with a bit of worry on his face. It's not fair, he doesn't get to ask me if I'm fine just off the bat after years of me always making sure everyone else is fine and dealing with everyone's problems. "I SAID IM FINE MIKE" I screamed a little to loud. I was honestly shocked at first and he was too. But then I just went back to my usual sad eyes. I had outbursts all the time now. I started rubbing my fore arm shyly before running off. I arrived in science and just couldn't sit by Mike. I asked max to switch me seat since she sat in the back corner away from them. "Alright Byers" she said grabbing her stuff. I plopped down in the seat and plugged in my head phones listening to music. I looked up to see Lucas and Dustin smiling when max took my place. I could feel tears welling up but I just blinked them back. I saw mike walking into class looking sad. I felt awful if I was being honest. The teacher passed us out assignments. I had 0 motivation to do it so I just started at it blankly only managing to get 1/3 of the questions done. Seconds turned into minutes and then the bell rang. I didn't even care that I didn't do it. I walked through the hall hearing comments like zombie boy and fairy. It used to hurt but I'm numb to it by now. But it did hurt when Troy pulled me into a empty class room and punches me in the face. I fell over and James stared kicking me, while some random boy recorded. They shouted words like fairy and fag. I was wondering why me while sobbing with hot tears coming out of my eyes. Thankfully they let me off easy with just a black eye and a couple blows to the ribs. I sat in the corner and cried for what felt like an hour.

Time skip to the end of the day~

I sat in the car with my face to the window. In the back seat since hopper and her where talking. When we pulled up to the house she told me "hop on out kiddo, we're going out to eat. There should be some sand which stuff!" I sighed and got out of the car. I was about to cry because my own mom hadn't noticed my  black eye. Even though it wasn't that big it was still a black eye. Stop it will, stop being so sensitive god, I thought to myself, walking. To the door with my arms crossed. When I opened the door I saw Jonathan on the couch. I smiled and was so glad he was here. He usually spent all his time with Nancy but gosh he always knew how to cheer me up, even if it was just for a little while. "Will what happened to your eye" he said sounding concerned. "Oh I just fell" I said quietly. Jonathan frowned. "Let's go out for ice cream eh?" He said grabbing his keys of the coffee table. I grinned. I actually did feel like going to get ice cream. We talked the whole way there about stupid things. We walked into scoops ahoy, where Steve Harrington was now working. I knew Jonathan and Steve didn't really get along so I kinda hung behind Jonathan. "Oh hey Steve.." Jonathan said. Steve rolled his eyes and sighed. "Welcome to scoops ahoy, this is your captain speaking, how can I help you today" steve said looking annoyed. "One chocolate Ice cream with cookie dough and one vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles"  (🏳️‍🌈)  Jonathan said. Steve scooped the ice cream and handing the cones full of ice cream to Jonathan. He passed my vanilla cone to me. We started chatting about about random things and I was almost done with my ice cream when Jonathan said, "hey bud, I got some big news for you..!"
