"SHATTERED GLASS"

<•—•> "I don't understand why you would lie!" Mike tries and fails not to yell.

"Shut up! Mrs. Wheeler is gonna hear you!" Samantha slaps Mike on the arm.

"Ow! What the hell!." Mike yells again.

"What are you doing?" She questions El. She just puts her finger on her lip for Sam to shush before starting again.

"Stop that," Mike tells her as he goes through Will's drawings. She stops for a second before continuing. "Are you deaf?" He says. He sighs.

"I thought we were friends, y'know? But friends tell each other the truth. And they definitely don't lie to each other. You made me think Will was okay, that he was still out there! But he wasn't! He wasn't!" Mike ranted. "Maybe you thought you were helping, but you weren't," Mike said softly. "You hurt me. Do you understand?"

"Hurt?" She questioned.

"What you did sucks." He emphasized sucks. Samantha sat listening to the conversation when all of a sudden she heard Will's voice in her head again.

"Lucas was right about you. All along." She heard Mike say, but it seemed distant.

Help. Help me, Sam. Anyone! Please.

She gasped, her eyes opening as tears stung her eyes.

"Will." She whispered.

"What?" Mike asked.

"Will? Can you hear me?" She whispered again, but there was no answer.

"What do you mean? He's dead!" Mike yelled incredulously.

"Alive." Eleven told him. To prove her point, she used the radio and channeled Will's voice. He was singing Should I Stay or Should I Go.

"Will!?" Mike yelled through the walkie. "Will, can you hear me!? It's Mike!" He yelled again. "Was it..." He trailed off. El and Sam both smiled at him.

"Will." They said.

The next day, Mike radios Lucas and tells him to bring Dustin, telling him it was urgent. Samantha had told El and Mike she would go comfort Johnathan and Joyce, even if Will was alive.

As she entered the room outside Will's body, she saw Johnathan hunched over a chair.

"Hey." Johnathan looked up and saw Samantha come sit down next to him.
