Mike's POV:
My eyes were still red and bloodshot by the time I struggled out of bed. I knew I couldn't go to school feeling like this, so I called Will, Lucas and Dustin on my radio and told them to meet me in the forest. Will was the first one to agree, and I could hear him rushing to pack his bag to get here as quickly as possible. At first the others objected, but after they heard my breathless voice and shaky breathing they finally agreed to meet me.
It was a short bike ride to our meeting point, but the calmness and tranquility of being alone for that short time made me feel less panicked. Everyone has been worried about me since El disappeared, and although I haven't told my parents about her, they know something happened during that dreaded week.
Little do they know that the one person I could talk to about this feeling, the person who could light a fire in my heart from one glance, had been taken from me.
It was just a dream, I kept telling myself, but nothing would change my mind. Somehow, somewhere, El was talking to me in my dreams. And it was time for me to listen to her...

Will's POV:
So today's the day. It's been a whole year since I was rescued from the upside down. You'd expect that I would be rejoicing today, but I know that not everyone will see this day as happily as most...
Mike's changed a lot since I went missing. It's like when I came back, I was greeting a stranger. It's been tough - really tough, for all of us.
I've heard a lot of stories about the girl they found while I was gone, but honestly I don't feel like that's the reason Mike has changed. He's not the sort of guy to get attached to a girl.
I feel like it's my fault Mike is like this. Maybe if I hadn't come back, Mike would still be happy...

I was getting ready for breakfast when my radio went off, and I heard the welcoming sound of Mike's voice, asking me if I was there. Of course I was there, I'll always be there for him. The second he told me to meet him I made sure I was out the door in seconds.
"Will, you've got to have some breakfast!" My mom was yelling at me, but I was too preoccupied with my own thoughts.
The only thing I cared about at that moment was Mike...
