Will wakes up, scared. I think he had a nightmare.
"Will, what's wrong?" Mike asks.
I quickly get up, sit next to him and hug him to calm him down.
"It's ok. It was just a nightmare. I'm right here. I'm not letting anything get to you."
He hugs me back and after a bit he calms down.
"It was hopper.."
"Ok. Do you want to tell your us in the living room?"
"Yeah, we should probably let Joyce know."
"Ok."
We walk to the living room where his mom is looking at the map.
"Mom.. mom, i saw him." He says getting her attention.
"You saw who, baby?" She says.
"Hopper. I think he's in trouble.. i think he's going to die."
We decide to see if he can draw where he say hooper so he makes another drawing and we find where it was connecting to the other drawings.
While Joyce and Mike try to figure out where that place is i decide to try to use my powers.
"Ok. I'm gonna try and see him." I say.
"Are you sure you can do that?" Will says.
"It worked with you so, i think i can."
"Ok. If you need anything let me know."
I get a walkie talkie and put it on static because it helps me focus.
I close my eyes and suddenly I'm in that dark place again. I look for hopper and when i finally see him, he's in this.. tunnel? It's like he's in the upsidedown bit in a veiny tunnel. It's very dark where he is and i can tell he's exhausted. He looks sick.. almost like will when he was there. Hes walking around i think trying to get out of there. I can't tell where this is though.
"Y/n? .. y/n!" I hear will say, making me snap out of it and come back to reality.
"I'm ok."
"Your nose is bleeding."
"Yeah, that happens when i use my powers. It's fine though."
He grabs a napkin and hands it to me for my nose.
"Did you see him?"
"Yeah.. but i can't tell where that is. What i do know is that we have to get there as soon as possible."
Joyce goes to the front door and we see bob out there. She tries talking to him but then decides he can help so we make up this 'game' to cover up what it actually is and see what he can get out of the map.
"Huh. You drew all these yourself?"
"Mhm."
"Why, exactly?"
"I told you the rules. No questions, ok? We just.. need you to help us figure out what where this is."
"That's the objective, find the x."
"Yeah? What's in the x? Pirate treasure?"
"Bob, no questions."
"Ok."
He talks to Joyce for a second but then realized something so he walks back to the x.
"Ok i get it. That's lake Jordan. And if that's lake Jordan, then you can probably find.. yeah! That's uh, sattlers quarry. And if you just follow it naturally.. it moves to the Eno river. And there it is! That's the Eno, do you see it? Ok so the lines aren't roads but they act like roads. And they act like roads cause when you follow them you'll se.. they don't go over water. And that's the giveaway. Thats the giveaway. Hah! Don't you get it? It's not a puzzle, it's a map. It's a map of Hawkins."
We try to get the exact location and after a few minutes bob figures it out so we decide to head there.
We get there and Bob and Joyce both go after him while we stay in the car.
"We have to help them it's not safe." Will says.
"Will, your not going down there if anyone out of us goes there it's me ok? Trust me. It's not just some random tunnel.. it's in the upsidedown."
We decide to wait out of the car.
After a few minutes a bunch of white Vans starts heading our direction. A bunch of people in jumpsuits start heading to the tunnel and some of them get this gun while others shine some light to the tunnel.
When one of the men starts burning the veins in the tunnel will falls to the ground in pain. I catch him just before he hits the ground and hold him in my arms.
"Will!" I yell.
"Will? Will are you ok?"
"Will talk to us what's wrong?"
He starts convulsing then screaming like he's possessed or something.
"WILL!"
Mike pulls me from him and the men start going towards him, mike grabs me so i don't go back to will while they get him into a ambulance.
Joyce, bib and hopper get out of the tunnel and i ride in the back of the ambulance with will to the hospital.
We get there and they take him to a room. We get to the room, they put him on the bed and start checking his vitals meanwhile he's screaming in pain.
I can even see that well because my vision is blurry from the tears.
They sedate him so he passes out and we're unhelpful in this situation. Im unhelpful.
"Ok, we will take some test on him tomorrow morning, meanwhile were gonna make sure he's stable.
"Ok but i am not leaving this place." I say.
"None of us are." Joyce adds.
They let us spend the night here.
I still haven't stopped shaking. But at least the tears slowed down.
"Y/n.. are you ok? Did you have another panick attack?" Mike asks as he sits down in the waiting room.
"I'm fine. I'll be right back." I say in a numb tone.
I go to the bathroom, make sure no one is there and immediately start breaking down. Why is this happening? Everytime things get a bit better they just get so much worse.. why does it have to hurt will out of everyone? Why not torture me instead!?
I can't take it anymore i just can't.. i want to die so fucking bad. But i can't right now because i have to make sure will is ok.
I get my razor from my backpack, lock myself in a stall and start cutting myself. I deserve the pain. After about 31 cuts i stop myself from making me bleed out. I get some paper and clean my arm. It doesn't stop bleeding so i get my spare bandages and wrap them around my arm tightly so it helps the blood to stop.
I go wash my hands and i stare at myself in the mirror.. i don't even know who I am anymore. It's like I'm looking at someone else.. someone who i fucking hate. And I'm just stuck like that..
I just want a normal fucking life why is that so hard?!
I wash my face and decide to go back to the guys in the waiting room.
I go sit next to Mike and after a while i end up falling asleep from exhaustion.
MIKES POV:
Y/n fell asleep next to me. He looked so tired.
I haven't seen anyone care that much for someone in my life. I can tell he really loves him. I can't imagine what this must feel like for him. The closest I've ever felt to that was when i was with El.. i miss her so much.
I look over at y/n and see his long sleeves are slightly up and i see bandages.. did he get hurt? When tho?
