CHAPTER FOURTEEN.
2x04: Will the Wise

"Will, please!" Sam begged, cupping his face and trying to force him to look at her.

Will didn't budge, and instead, Sam heard the slamming of the exit doors behind her. Her head whipped around to see Lucas, Mike, Corey, Dustin, Max, and even Joyce running towards Will and Sam.

"I just found him like this!" she cried. "I think he's having another episode!"

When the rest of the group finally reached Sam and Will, Joyce immediately reached for her son. Sam moved out of the way so Joyce could try and help him, because clearly Sam was useless. She joined everyone else in crowding around Will in a worried circle.

"Will!" Joyce planted her arms at the sides of Will's arms, trying to reach him. "Will! Will! Sweetie, wake up! Will, it's Mom! WILL!"

But Will wasn't budging, not to any avail. Like Sam had been doing, Joyce's hands slid up to cup Will's face desperately.

"Will, wake up! Can you hear me?! Will, please, just wake up! Please, WAKE UP—!"

Will woke up with a gasp.

Everyone exited the school from the main entrance, Joyce leading the group with Will around her arm. The remaining kids stood by the front stairs, watching from afar as Joyce got into her car with Will.

"Okay," Max said the second Will and Joyce were out of earshot, "that totally freaked me out. Did that not freak you guys out?"

No one answered her.

"It felt cold again," Sam mumbled anxiously, gripping her broken walkie tightly. She'd accidentally shattered it when she threw it to the ground for Will.
