3rd Person

Mike was ushered out of the ambulance since it was needed else where so he decided to go and see Will.

He walked inside and walked up to the receptionist.

"H-Hey, is there anybody called 'Will Byers' in here?" He asked, trying not to start crying again.

"Yeah but he's being checked out right now, I will get somebody to tell you when you can see him."

"Oh. Okay." He responded, walking over to the waiting area.

He sat down and immediately burst into tears. He couldn't believe he almost - or has - lost Will.

He just sits there, crying, waiting for the doctor to walk in and tell him everything is okay.

He hears the door burst open so he looks up and sees his friends.

"Mike.." Lucas sighs.

They all rush over to him and give him a massive hug.

"I'm so sorry, man." Dustin whispers.

Mike tries to respond but he just ends up crying even more.

"Do you want us to stay with you?" Eleven asks him.

Mike nods as he cant get any words out.

Eleven and Dustin sit on either side of Mike while Lucas and Max sit infront of him, on another row of chairs.

Mike looks around and sees everybody on the brink of tears.

I never thought about how this would effect them. They must all be heartbroken. - Mike had thought.

After a while they all fell asleep.

"Im sorry"

"NO NO NO WILL DON'T SAYTHAT ITS GOING TO BE OKAY!" Mike sobs, holding on to Will.

Mike watches as Wills whole body relaxes and he immediately realises whats happened.

"WILL NO NO STAY WITH ME!" He yelled, sobbing.

Mike woke up and saw all of his friends staring at him.

"W-What?" Mike mumbled.

"Dude, you were crying in your sleep, and you kept saying Will's name." Dustin told him.

"Oh." Mike whispered.

He opened his mouth to say something but a doctor opened the door.

Mike sprung up and practically ran over to the doctor.

"Is Will okay? Do you know if he is okay!?" He yelled.

"Sir, I need you to sit down." The doctor told mike.

He nodded and walked back over to his seat, with the doctor following.

"Are you all here for William?"

"It's will." Mike corrected him.

"Okay then, are you all here for Will?"

They all nod.

"So, your friend is in a coma." The doctor told them all.

Mike started sobbing again.

"And he will most likely not wake up. And if he managed to wake up, it would not be soon." The doctor carried on.

Mike just continued sobbing, and Lucas and Dustin started crying. The doctor said a quick apology then left.

El and Max teared up but didn't cry as they wanted to comfort their friends.

"Why him. Why him!? What did he do?" Mike sobbed into elevens shoulder.

"Shh Mike, he will be okay. Everything will be okay, just breathe, okay?" She soothed.

Max brought Dustin to over where she was sitting and hugged him and Lucas as an attempt to comfort them. They both cried into her shoulder and she rubbed their backs.

Eventually, the crying died down and Mike spoke up.

"I'm gonna go and see him." He whispered.

"Okay, we will be right here if you need anything." Eleven spoke softly.

Mike stood up, and walked over to the receptionist.

"W-What room is Will byers staying in?" He asked.

"164. Relationship?"

"Uhm, brother."

"Okay, it's just down the hall to your left."

Mike nodded and walked down the hall and got to Wills room. He grabbes the door handle and turned it as slow as he could.

He dragged himself into the room, his eyes glued to the floor, scared to look up.

He sat down on the chair infront of Will's bed, and looked up.

He immediately teared up, seeing the state his boyfriend was in.

He gently grabbed the part of Will's hand that wasnt covered in bandages and casts and rubbed it gently.

"I'm so sorry.." Mike whispered, "Im so, so sorry."

Mike just sat down on the chair and stared at Will.

He had massive purple eye bags under his eyes and his entire hosy was covered im bandages or casts.

(Basically what Max looked
like but just more gay)

"Will I love you so much.. I can't believe I couldn't save you." He mumbled.

He looked at all of the tubes going in Will's body.

He hates needles. And hospitals. He is going to be horrified when he wakes up. - Mike thought.

Somebody walked through the door.

"Hello, are you Will Byers brother?" The doctor asked, looking at Mike.

"Yeah, why." He responded.

"I need you to leave." The doctor ordered.

"What!? No way. I'm staying right here." Mike scoffed.

"Sir. I need you to leave. Now."

"Why!?"

"Because we don't think he has much time left."

Mikes heart dropped.

"W-What?"

"Sir. Leave, now."

Mike barely nodded before getting up and leaving.

He walked back into the waiting room where all of his friends were and sat down with them.

"Can we go and see him?" Max asked him.

"I don't think he's going to survive." Mike whispered.
