MIKE POV-

Upon seeing Will's body hit the ground, a bright light erupted from the scene blinding Mike as the rooftop spun in circles; was this nausea form the sight he witnessed? Anyone would be sick after spectating their to-be-boyfriend fall from a building.

He held a hand to his head struggling to see colour. When the intensity lowered, his eyes scanned around to see he was no longer on the roof; rather in the hallway standing over a boy, but it wasn't Will... nor it was Troy... but JAMES?

The ravenette took a step back shaking his head... What the hell is going on here? Running over to the courtyard where the brunette had fallen, Mike saw nothing- nothing at all; shaking his head in disbelief, the boy white as though he had seen a ghost.

But without thinking, the ravenette dashed to his classroom hoping to see Will at his desk with the bright demeanour he is known for. Perhaps it was the law of comics: if he died, he would just respawn, that's how it should work, right? Convincing himself of the notion; slightly hysterical.

Bursting into the room, Mike walked over to the brunette's desk seeing a random girl in his seat "This is Will's seat!" proclaiming shocked

"What are you talking about?" The girl complained but her expression immediately changing upon seeing the ravenette stand tall. Being the schools most desirable boy, she was just excited for Mike to show her attention, never really talking to anyone outside his friendship group, "Oh Mike! I didn't know it was you... were you looking for me?" she cooed

"No... Will sits here!" he repeated taking a step back to the front of the class

"Wait Mike!" The girl called pouting defeatedly crossed her arms in her seat.

The ravenette scrolled through the register; leading his hand down. Scanning each name with his finger, repeating the names as his eyes widened until he reached the last name. Dropping the book to the floor he scanned the room spotting a familiar doe-eyed girl alone on her phone, shuffling to her desk without a care in the world, it was weird seeing her without Max, but that wasn't the main point right now.

"El..." He repeated. If anyone knew where Will was, it would be his sister right? Stomping to the girl, his eyes burned with questions coming from his core; his mind exploding, "El!" he called, scaring the girl at her desk.

"Oh... Hey Mike!" The girl smiled bright, seemingly unaffected by the situation that just occurred, did she not care about her stepbrother? Would she really be so ruthless?

"Do you know where Will is?" The ravenette questioned, pleading for a good answer

El furrowed her brows, "Who's Will?"

"Your Brother Will! Your brother!" Mike repeated, raising his voice in frustration.

"I don't have a brother..." she furrowed her brows "Is everything okay?"

"No... You have a step brother named Will!" The ravenette announced, ignoring her question.

"I'm an only child remember!" She tilted her head confused by the taller boy's weird questions

Suddenly a pair of feet ran into the room, approaching beside the ravenette grabbing his arm and flipping him around. It was Dustin, a similar shock on his face "Mike! What happened Where's Will?"
