Lime Eyes - Eleven Hopper + Max Mayfield

Chapter 7: Should I Stay or Should I Go

November 9, 1983

VICTORIA

I am sitting on the couch, thinking about what is happening with Lili right now. While Steve, and I were eating dinner. We heard the news of Will Byers, dead. I don't know him, but he is a good friend of Lil's. I put the leftovers of our dinner in the fridge, then Lili arrives with Eleven. She is crying as her eyes are puffy red.

Steve and I went to her. Comforting about what happened, but she ignored us. And brought Lili to her room. I know that I could be a shitty big sister at times, like how Steve could be a piece of shit. But others are luckier Byers, Henderson, Sinclair, Wheeler. They have parents who are supporting them.

Us, we wouldn't get that much support. We were fended off like wild animals in the jungle.

LILIANA

We are sitting in the bedroom of my house, as I am checking on photos of Will and me. Eleven is sitting with the radio. I do not know what she is doing, and I don't care.

"What?"

I ask. She doesn't respond and then returns to the radio. I checked on another photo of Will with Dungeons and Dragons photo. Then my radio gets louder, superpowers I assume.

"Are you okay!?"

She still doesn't respond. I am under a lot of stress for a whole day, because Eleven telling us about Will. She might lie, but I understand what it means. Because I am also trying to find him.

"Lili?"

She asks and I looked at her, placing the pictures by the bedside table. I walked to her and sat beside her.

"Okay, what are we going to do?"

I ask, and she grabs my hand and places it in the supercomm. She closes her eyes, I almost did nothing. Later I closed my eyes, I get it. Focusing on finding Will, through the supercomm that I have.

♪So come on and let me know♪

♪Should I stay or should I go?♪

♪Should I stay or should I go now?♪

♪Should I stay or should I go now?♪

♪ If I go there will be trouble♪

♪If I stay it will be double♪

Holy shit, it's Will, and he is alive. It's me and El who have found him. He is somewhere there. I wiped the blood in my right nostril.

"Will, is that you? It's Lili! Do you copy? Over,"

He doesn't respond, and I am frustrated. What is happening? Static is still there.

"Will, are you there?"

I could only hear static from my supercomm.

"Will!"

It ends, a tear forming in Eleven's eyes. "Was that, was it?"

"Will,"

I cried, and I wiped her nose. Hugging her since we found that "Will," is dead. I am so happy, she is not someone that you shouldn't trust.

But she did, Will is Alive.
