(If you don't know how to picture that characters it's based off like season three but some events of season four maybe)
(this chapter contains depictions of abuse and homophobia)
— "I am not going to tolerate my own son being a fucking fairy!" Lonnies words slurred as he threw a bottle of alcohol on the floor. Will stood there, looking blankly at his feet, tears forming in his eyes. "Don't pretend like you're a fucking victim, you're so ungrateful for everything that we've done for you!" He took a big step closer to where the younger boy was standing. Will ran down the hall, Lonnie following quickly after him. He managed to close and lock the door before Lonnie could get to him. "Unlock it!" He pounded the door making the walls rattle. Will sat in the dark as his dad... this man... basically a stranger, pounded on the door. He curled up with his head in his legs, sitting in the corner of the room. "This isn't real.." "It's just another nightmare..." he said to himself quietly. —
Will jolted up from his sleep, why does this keep happening? He turned and looked at the small alarm clock on his nightstand, 2:37 AM. He got up quietly and went to the kitchen for water. He sat down for a minute looking at the spot in the living room where the dream took place, then down the hall, then back at the living room. He took his water back to his room and sat on his bed. He knew no one would be awake at this time of night, he couldn't contact anyone. He laid down and looked at the ceiling, he thought "no one knows about all this happening, all the nightmares, no one knows anything about me." He sat there and just silently cried, having the occasional really loud sob that made him look up in fear, wondering if anyone heard him. Lonnie didn't even live with them anymore, but the events will live in memory forever, and ever, and ever. He didn't know what to do, he couldn't sleep. He laid there for probably hours before getting a little more rest before morning came.
*knock knock knock*
"Mmmm, who's there?" Will said, waking up.
"Jonathan, it's time to get up, I'll be in the kitchen." Will kinda hated school, but he got to see his friends, and Mike. He didn't hate Mike or anything, he was just distant since El came along. The day he disappeared, he met El. He was practically never the same after they got together. El, El, El, he was always with El. Most people hated it, some people didn't care. No one enjoyed it. Especially Will, before she came along, It was always Mike and Will. "Crazy together." Yeah right, Will was only crazy by himself. He got dressed and Jonathan drove him to school. He plastered the best smile he could pull off onto his face as he got out of the car and walked up to the building.
"Hey, Will!" Dustin said smiling at him, he smiled back.
"Hey!" His friends always made things a little better.
"Thank god it's Friday, the weekend goes by so fast tho." Dustin said as they walked into the school.
"I know, I wish it was like, you do school for the weekend, and get the week off."
"Or just no school."
"Right?!" Will laughed and walked off to get to his locker and get his stuff. Most of the school day (as always) was boring. Until math class, the last class of the day. If everyone got done early, they got the rest of the time to either study, or just talk.
"Hey, Will," Will wasn't paying attention so he jumped a little at Mikes sudden appearance. "Hey, I was uhh, wondering if you wanted to come over after school! I feel bad because we never get to hang out a lot anymore.."
"Oh..." Will stared at his shoes from under the desk, creasing as he forced them to bend as a type of nervous stim. "I mean, sure, yeah, what time?"
"Probably like,,, 3 or 4 if that's alright."
"Yeah, sure.."
"Great, Uhh, see you then." He walked away, Will thought to himself, "why do I have to be so- shit!" He felt a sharp pain in his head, great, another headache. It's been going on for days now, it's never gonna stop.
Soon the bell rang and everyone shot out of the classroom, eager to get home. After school nothing really happened for Will, Mike on the other hand, not prepared.
"Hey, Mike, How was school?" His mom said as he came through the door, Nancy, as usual, stayed in her room.
"Same as always, boring."
"Oh, well that's no good." She made a slight frown and got back to doing the dishes, Mike when to his room.
*kchhhhk*
What the??
*Kchhhhhhhhk* "Mike??" Els voice came through his walkie talkie. He went over and grabbed it.
*kchhhk* "Hey, how are you?"
"Well,,, I wanted to tell you something."
This never ends well.
"Hm?" He smiled, not knowing what was happening.
"It's Hopper, he says we spend too much time together, and that we need to be our own separate people."
"El, Are you.." he paused, making the same disgusted face he always makes when something doesn't go his way. "Are you breaking up with me?"
"I'm sorry, Hopper says we spend to much time together."
"It's fine." Mike put the walkie talkie down and sat in bed, what do I do... I have to win over hopper.. yeah.. we don't spend THAT much time together, right??
So he decided that he was going to go make up up to her!
....
Will was clueless.
