You changed.

Mike paced around his room, Stressed about his missing assignments.

He's recently kinda cut all his friends off in Hawkins, He has been acting out more then usual, Karen and Ted excused it to his teenage years but they were wrong.

Mike kinda cut off all his friends, but Will.
Since will was in California, they didn't talk much anyways. There was only a call once every week but it stopped whenever Mike began getting high, not just that. Mike's been drinking and smoking too. Nobody knows Mike has been doing these things, Unfortunately..

MIKES POV:

i woke up and immediately felt sick, i got up and ran straight to the bathroom, throwing up into the toilet, once it finished he flushed it and took painkillers and some water, he stared at the fresh cuts on his arms and sighed. he walked out, back into his own room
throwing on a hoodie and jeans.
He heard his phone ringing, and picked it up seeing Will's name pop up, shit.
He answered anyways, because will kept accusing him of ignoring the calls, and he wasn't looking forward to another fight.

"Hello?"

W: "Mike! Mike guess what!?"

"What?"

W: "I'm coming to visit Hawkins for my birthday! I get to see you and the party again"

Mikes eyes stopped shining, they widened abit. He felt selfish because he had forgotten Will's birthday again, he didn't get what was wrong with him. Why did he have to keep drinking and doing all this shit !?
And to make it worse, Lucas,Dustin,Max all had broken contact just because of Him.
Well, Maybe? Maybe they all still hung out, He felt bad now for rejecting them so much.

W: "Mike? are you there.. did i lose you? Gosh- mom keeps hogging the phone."

"No, No! i'm still here- sorry, sorry."

W: "Oh! Thank gosh- Anyways, did you hear the good news?!"

Mike felt worse, will was so excited.

"Yeah! yeah thats amazing will! i'll tell the others!"

Time-skip to a week later, Will was now in Hawkins and meeting mike at his house.

DING-DONG.

Mike jumped up and off his bed, he cursed and quickly changed but before he could even leave his room, his eyes widened at all the smashed pills, stored pills, Weed, and bottles in his room. He just quickly shut the door and ran downstairs to greet Will.
...
And there was his mom, already greeting him.

"Mom! you said you had to go to the store!"
You could see he was annoyed, Mostly because he had just woken up.

K: I know Michael, but i just had to see Will!   We all missed you so much Will

Will and Karen smiled at each other and had small talk before she finally left.
now it was just them.

W: So, should we go to your room?
Will smiled at mike

Mike's eyes widened and he shook his head, nervously trying to make a good excuse
"No- No! Its, Its kinda messy, we can go to the basement?"

Will sensed the nervousness and raised an eyebrow, but he agreed and followed mike down to the basement.

After an hour or so, Will excused himself to the bathroom, Mike nodding and watching him leave up the stairs, he began fidgeting with his hands, hoping he didn't smell like weed or alcohol .

Time-skip to 10 minutes later, will still hasn't returned, and Mike began worrying. So he left to find will.

He walked up the steps, about to knock on the bathroom door but it was already opened, his eyes widened and he looked down the hall, his heart dropping, his breathing picking up as well

His door was now opened.
