Me, Lucas, Max, and Dustin were all walking getting candy. We went to this haunted house together even with Will and mike. We all had so much fun. The boys were screaming and it was so hilarious. Me and Max couldn't stop laughing.
Dustin and Lucas were now trying to sound like surfers, by putting accents and saying gnarly and tubular.
"You are hurting our ears," Max said laughing making us all laugh. We all kept on walking, Mike then yelled out,"guys! Will!"
We all turned around as Mike ran, we all looked at each other and. I ran first, following Mike. We all ran down the stairs.
"Is he okay?"
"I'm gonna get you home, okay?" Mike told Will. He was sitting down, looking shocked and scared. "I'm gonna get you home. Hold on."
Dustin went up to them to help Will,"take it easy."
"I got him." Mike said
"Mike!" I called out as he walked up the stairs.
He turned towards us,"Keep trick or treating. I'm bored anyways."
"What's wrong with him?" Max asked. Nobody answered her.
Max and I were walking back home.
"That was creepy and weird. I mean they are always weird, but.." Max started to say. "What happened to him?"
"Nothing." I said
"Nothing?" She questioned.
"Nothing." I repeated, I unlocked the door and we walked in. I went to my room, grabbing my backpack, and the gun and put it in my bag. Safety, you never know what's going to happen. I walked out and grabbed the house keys again.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"I'm going check on Will." I told her
"Why? Mike said he's fine."
"I'll see you later. Keep the door locked, Billy probably won't be home. There is food in the kitchen. Love you!" I told her.
I walked out, grabbing my bike and peddling off. I got there and put the stand on my bike down, I knocked on the door and it opened.
"Oh hey Maddie."Joyce said.
"Is Will home?" I asked.
"Yeah, he just got back. He's probably in his room." I walked in and went to his room. I knocked and he opened his door,"Maddie?"
"Hey zombie boy." I said. He backed up and sat down on the ground where his Halloween Candy was.
I sat next to him,"how are you?"
He shrugged his shoulder.
"How is your mom?" I asked.
"Happier, I guess." He told me. "She's still with Bob."
"Well, at least, someone is happy." I said.
"You aren't?"
I laughed,"No."
"But your family is in town."
"And 27 arguments have happened since then, and Susan and my father aren't even here yet."
"I'm sorry." He said.
"People are going through thing that are worse." I said. "Did you have another episode thing?"
"Yeah." He said, he handed me a piece of his chocolate bar and I ate it.
"It was the same as the others?" I asked.
"Kind of. I saw this thing, it was so close to me." Will said.
"The Demogorgon?" I asked.
"No, this thing was large, like it was wide and super tall." He described. "It kind of looked like a huge tall spider."
"Like as tall as a human?"
"Way Taller."
"Can you draw it?" I asked. He got up and came back with a paper. I stared at it,"Hm.."
I ended up sleeping over, Will and I went to bed at like 12 am because we were eating candy. We woke up and got dressed for school, we heard Joyce freaking out about something.
We walked outside,"where are they?"
"What are you looking for?"
"My keys!" She said.
Me, John and Will all looked all over for them.
"A-ha! I found 'em." Bob chuckled, coming out the room.
"Oh!"
"Hiding under some jeans, sneaky little buggers."
"Thank you. Thank you. You're a life saver." Joyce said kissing him, she walked towards Johnathan. "Can you take Will and Maddie to school today? I can't be late again."
"He's staying over now?" Johnathan asked.
"Please just take Will and Maddie, please."
"I can take them." Bob said.
"Will you make sure he gets in okay?" Joyce asked.
"Yeah, of course." He said. "What do you two say? Wanna go for a ride in the Bobmobile?"
"Was that one of you I heard milling around last night, or was that a pair of ghosts?"
"Yeah. Me, Probably." Will said
"Another nightmare?"
"Umm...No."
"Did I ever tell you about Mr Baldo?" Bob asked.
"Mr Baldo?" Will and I asked slowly.
"Yeah." Bob said. "I was a little younger than you, standing in life for the Ferris wheel at the Roane county fair."
"Mhm."
"I feel this fat white glove tap me on the shoulder. I turn around and there he is, Mr Baldo." Bob told us and then changed his voice,"Hey Kiddo! Would you like a balloon?"
"Go ahead, laugh. It's funny." Bob chuckled. "Wasn't funny back then, I can tell you that. I couldn't get him out of my head. Every night, he would come to me in my dreams. And every night when he came to me, I ran."
He sighed,"it got so bad that I made my mom stay in the room with me until I fell asleep, every night."
"Really?"
"Really. It was like that for months." Bob told Will. "Then one day..the nightmares suddenly stopped. Wanna know how?"
"How?"
"Well, I fell asleep..and just like always, Mr Baldo came to me. Only this time, I didn't run." Bob said. "This time, I stood my ground. I looked at Mr Baldo, his stupid face, and said, 'Go away. Go away!' Just like that, he was gone. Never saw him again. Easy- peasy, right?"
"Easy- peasy." Will repeated.
"Just like that."Bob snapped. We got to school and got out. People turned and stared at him as he walked by. We got to class, Dustin walked inside late and whispered to me and Max to meet in the Av Club.
