Should I stay or should I go

Chapter 18 the gate

Then I couldn't believe my eyes after Mike hugged El I ran to hug her

I miss you so much I said

I miss you too Abby

We never gave up on you

I called you every night

Every night for

353 days

I heard

Why didn't you tell me you were there?

That you were okay?

Because I wouldn't let her hopper said

The hell is this? Where you been?

Where have you been?

You've been hiding her

You've been hiding her this whole time

Hey

Let's talk, alone

Then they went to the other room

Then she hugged Lucas and Dustin

Then she hugged Lana

Then she hugged PJ

El, this is James, our dads work together

She smiled at him

We missed you

I missed you, too

We talked about you pretty much every day

Teeth

What?

You have teeth

Oh, you like these pearls? Then he did a weird purr

Never do that again I said

Eleven?

Hey, uh, I'm max and this is my sister leni

I've heard a lot about you she said and held out her hand

Then she hugged jocye

Hey, hey sweetheart

Hey

Can I see him?

She then took her to his room

Then later

It's not like it was before, it's grown

A lot, and I mean, that's considering we can get in there

The place is crawling with those dogs

Demo-dogs

I'm sorry, what?

I said, uh, demo-dogs

Like demogorgon and dogs

You put them together, it sounds pretty badass

How is this important right now?

It's not, I'm sorry

I can do it

You're not hearing me

I'm hearing you, I can do it

Even if El can, there's still another problem

If the brain dies, the body dies

I thought that was the whole point

It is, but if we're really right about this I mean if El closes the gate and kills the mind flayer's army

Will's a part of that army
