He's Gone Mike.

Back and i'm sick🙄 that's why i'm writing. This oneshot part is based off of a real story (well the chapter name.) is based off of Dave Grohl reacting to Kurt Cobains death (Kurt Cobain the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana who sh*t himself in 1994, Dave Grohl was his best friend at the time and the Dummer for Nirvana) Anyways. Yeah it's basically gonna be like Mike telling the story of Will being gone.

Mikes POV:
"So Mike Wheeler. You obviously have had lots of accomplishments which is awesome. And your new book "Mike Wheeler tells a story: Heartbreaks, Music, And Love." Jimmy Fallon smiles to me. It was the year 1995 and I was in my 20s. My life has never changed since I became famous and moved forward to my life with music. I look back at Jimmy.
"Yes! Is an autobiography about my life back in Hawkins and all the crazy shit that happened when I was a teenager." I laugh. The audience claps their hands and smiles. Jimmy grabs the book and flips through pages.
"Now i read your book and it's incredible. The emotion and everything. And the photos are so surreal. I mean, they are all real he laughs. So we were wondering if you could read us one of your chapters in the book. I believe the chapter is called "He's gone." Is that right?" Jimmy  asks. I nod and grab the book.
"So something interesting about this book is that some of the stuff I wrote in here was from like 1983. Especially in this chapter because in 1983, Will went missing." I say. The audience went quiet as I read the book.

Dear Myself,

I'm sorry for crying into Mothers arms in my wet coat. I don't wanna look like a pussy but I can't find my best friend.  Will is lost and I need him to survive. Will is my water, Will is my food, Will is my sleep, Will is my home, Will is my friend, Will is my love. I need him in every instance 24/7 no matter what. Joyce cries ti my mom through the phone. Both are scared. Eleven comforts me as she cries. I pick up the walkie talkie every day in hopes to find him.  Lucas and Dustin don't have any hope. I will not loose hope. My  knees are shaking. I am praying to god. Please bring Will back to me. I want to hug him, play D&D. Will doesn't deserve to me taken. Why couldn't it be me. I don't even really like my family except for Holly and Mom. Nancy's a bitch to me. But Will is thankful. He loves his brother, his mom, his dog, and his little house in the woods that has cracks in it, broken doors, running faucets, and poor cables. But he isn't complaining. Take me. I love you Will Byers. You need to come back to me. I can't do it without you.

I close the book as I stop talking and tears fall down my face as Jimmy is too.
"Wow that is something else." He says. I see the audience as people grab their tissues.
"And- And you actually wrote then when you were like, 12?" He asks. I nos and sip some tea.

"But hey. Funny thing is. They found Will. In Will and I'd late teen years we spent the years falling in love with each other, ya know. It was some exciting times. I mean after we could calm down and not worry about Vecna and Hawkins being crumbled apart. But Will and I were stuck like glue. And we've been dating for practically forever now. So I am just glad Hod heard me. And it's just turkey amazing." I smile. Jimmy smiles as tears fall down his face and everyone applauds.

Later that night I go to the hotel and see Will asleep. I smile and wipe my curly hair out of my face. I take my glasses off and put my guitar on its portable stand. I look at NYC. Millions of Billboards saying the tragedy of Kurt Cobains death a little over 2 months ago.
"You don't know how lucky I am to still have my best friend with me." I whisper as I fall asleep in the other twin bed.

That's allllllll. Ik y'all are gonna be like "eh you were  shipping the actors meh eh megevdjajskOk." NO I WASNT😭  (Mike chronically  plays guitar so respectfully be quiet.) I was gonna keep Will dead in this oneshot but then that's just really sad and I don't want people to feel sad while reading this AND listening to sad music. Not cool buddy. Anyways i'm so effing tired😭😖
