"AH MAN, THIS IS IT." Lucas Sinclair announced, the four of them biking down a hill during night. The group slowed down, stopping on their bikes.

They looked at the tap to the entrance of the forest, to which could be assumed where the crime scene was. Where Will went missing.

Y/N bit her lip. She missed Will so much, and it had only been a day. Her and Will confided in each other, the rest of the party never knew that. It was like the two could tell each other whatever, and they wouldn't judge. Y/N would never judge Will, not in a million years.

And she had been so focused and dedicated in finding Will. So dedicated, that she disobeyed her father's rules on going out so late at night. But her father didn't care nonetheless.

She held onto her bike's bars, hearing the thunder. Droplets started to pour, the girl looked up. Y/N took one of her hands off the bars, and pulled up her hood.

"Hey, guys, you feel that?" Dustin asked, looking up as he raised his hand. "I think maybe we should go back."

"No." Mike responded, almost immediately. "We're not going back."

"Just stay close, alright?" Y/N finished, offering a warm smile to Dustin. Her head turned back to face the entrance of the woods, her hands fisted into a ball as soon as she mounted her bike.

"Just say on channel six. Don't do anything stupid." Mike said, jumping over the tape with Lucas. Y/N followed, looking back at Dustin, she gave him one last smile, before turning away.

Dustin shook his head, "Wait, guys, wait up!"


Y/N traveled through the forest with the boys, she bit her lip. Her breathing shook with every step. "I don't feel so good about this."

Mike looked over at her, nudging her. "It's okay." Mike reassured her. "You have us. One of us goes down, the rest does too."

Y/N sighed. "I guess."

"Will!" Lucas screams.

"Will byers!" Mike adds on, his voice boomed through the forest.

"I've got your X-Men 134!" Dustin says, turning his flashlight around. "Guys, I really think we should turn back."

"Seriously, Dustin?" Lucas groaned.

Y/N stopped, making the others stop. "Dustin, stop complaining, please." Y/N said to him, her voice loud to attempt to be heard from the loud rain. "We're looking for our best friend. You know he'd never stop looking for you. For any of us. It's the most we can do, try to look for him."

"I'm just being realistic!" Dustin argued, continuing to walk again. Y/N trailed after him.

"No, you're just being a big sissy!" Lucas says, rolling his eyes.
