CHAPTER NINE.
1x08: The Upside Down
Who here is waiting for Diane and Anthony Hughes?
Us! Us. We are. We're their daughters. Are they okay?
You two might want to step into the hall with me over here.
Sam sat with an anxious frown on her face, much like everyone else around her—well, besides those who were sleeping: Lucas, Dustin (who were basically cuddling with each other), and of course Ted Wheeler (Sam didn't get why he thought he had the right to be here). Sam didn't understand how anyone could sleep at a time like this, but at the same time she wished she could. Yet her eyes refused to close.
I'm so sorry, girls. Your parents... There was nothing we could do. They were gone on impact.
Sam, Lucas, Mike, Dustin, Corey, Chief Hopper, Joyce, Jonathan, Nancy, and shockingly Steve Harrington had all come together because of the Demogorgon. Now they were accompanied by Mike's parents and waiting on (hopefully) good news about Will.
Steph. Steph, what does 'gone on impact' mean? Steph? Steph? Stephanie? Answer me, Steph! They're fine, right?
Joyce and Jonathan were in his hospital room right now, and Sam really hoped Will would wake up. She'd already lost Eleven tonight. She'd already lost her parents. She couldn't lose Will too.
Sammy, they're...
No!
Sammy, I'm so sorry. I'm—I can't—
No, no, they're fine!
They're not coming back, kid.
Shut up!
They're dead!
What broke the infuriating silence was Jonathan coming into the waiting room. All heads turned to him, but Jonathan was only looking at Sam and Mike, signaling they were allowed to go into Will's room now.
Sam and Mike whipped their heads to each other, looking the most excited they ever had been. Both kids quickly shot out of their seats and started shaking awake their sleeping friends.
"Guys! Guys, he's up! Will is up!"
"Wake your lazy asses up! Will's awake!"
Their vigorous shaking eventually got the two boys up; however, Lucas and Dustin weren't pleased to find they were lying on each other the whole time. They let out irritated groans.
