Run Away

The Next Morning >> Your POV

I awoke to the sound of the boys shuffling around. I began to try and open my eyes, the light was blinding, for the first time in my life I had awoken to sunshine gleaming in my room. When I had finally successfully opened my eyes I saw I was alone. The room looked like a storm had blown through.

"D-Dustin?" I called out. No answer... "Guys? Anybody?" Still, no one answered.

"Hi..." A small voice said. I quickly sat up. It was a young girl, she looks to be 4 or 5. She had golden, blonde hair. She was beautiful. "Who are you?" She smiled.

"I'm 0 0 6," I said smiling. She giggled at me.

"You're pretty..." She said as she approached me.

"T-Thank you..." I stumbled. She then pulled herself up and sat on my lap. "What's your name?" I asked playing with her pigtails.

"I"m Holly!" She giggled. "Why are you down here?" She asked, her smile had disappeared.

"I'm not sure... Holly? Can you do something for me?" She nodded.

"Go tell Dustin, you know Dustin?" She shook her head 'no'. "Okay, the boy with curly hair?" She began to nod, "You know him?"

"Mike's friend!" She shouted.

"Y-Yeah! Him, can you go tell him it's six o' clock?" She nodded, and hopped off my lap and began up the stairs. 

Dustin's POV

We had all begun to eat, except me. I sat there staring at my food. I had to save it for Y/n.

"Something wrong, Dustin?" Mrs. Wheeler asked cutting a pancake.

"No, I-I'm not hungry. I'm gonna eat at home."

"Are you sure? You need your energy... You're a growing boy, you've started pub-" Immediately she was cut off.

"Mom!" Mike yelled with a look of disgust.

"Oh, boys.." She laughed. Suddenly we all heard the tiny stomps of baby Holly running down the hall. She quickly ran over to Mike.

"What's wrong, Holly?" He asked picking her up.

"Which one of your friends is Denis?" She asked giggling.

"You mean Dustin?" He asked.

"Uh, no... I mean yeah!" She announced shaking her head. Mike pointed to me.

"That's him." He laughed, immediately baby Holly ran toward me.

"Up, up, up!" She said begged. I quickly picked her up.

"What's up Holls?" Suddenly she leaned over and began to whisper in my ear.

"It's six o' clock..." My eyes widened.

"Who told you that?" I asked faking a smile.

"0 0 6!" Holly chanted at the table.

"Awe, I think she wants to learn more about numbers." Mrs. Wheeler smiled. I laughed nervously.

"Excuse me, everybody." As I walked past Mike and the guys. I quickly tapped their shoulders getting the attention, I then gestured for them to come on.

"Excuse us," Mike said as him, Lucas, and Will stood up.

"B-But boys?!" Mrs. Wheeler whined.

"That was awesome, thanks, Mrs. W!" I said running down the hall. I quickly ran down the basement stairs to find Six. "Y/n? Six? Y/n?" I called.

"Dustin?" I heard Y/n whimper. I turned around to find her hiding under the staircase.

"Y/n what's wrong?" I asked approaching her, she didn't move, she just sat there hugging her knees.

"I was all alone..." She said puffy eyed, and pale.

"I was just upstairs. I'm sorry, I should've told you." Another tear fell down her face. "I'm so sorry Y/n..." She slowly stood up, this was it... She was gonna leave, I had already ruined our friendship. Suddenly she wrapped her arms around my neck and hid her face in my chest.

"I don't wanna be alone anymore..." She cried. I stood shocked, I quickly snapped back and wrapped my arms around her, and held her close.

"You'll never be alone again." I whispered, "I promise." Slowly she pulled away and looked me in the eyes.

"Promise." She whispered, smiling slightly.

Time Skip >> Dustin's POV

"Guys, I'm gonna take Y/n to my house," I announced.

"What? Why?" Each of the guys asked looking worried. It finally seemed like they all had a connection to Six, I'll admit it. Her personality was addicting, to be near her was to love her. Wait, not love! I don't love Y/n... She's my friend!

"We can't keep her here. Holly found her, and then chanted her name at the table." From that point on, no one objected anymore. After about an hour, I helped Y/n gather clothes Mike said she could wear then we snuck out the basement door.

"Where are we going?" She asked biting her lip.

"My house," I said picking up my bike.

"I can't..." She mumbled.

"Six, what's wrong?" Her eyes began to fill with tears.

"The bad people will find me..." She continued to gasp for air. "They're looking for me." She cried, shaking her head. "I-I have to stay here. I c-can't go back..." She stuttered.

"Hey, hey. It's gonna be okay. I promise they won't find you." I said cupping her cheek in my hand, she quickly grabbed my hand and held it in her own. "We can take the back roads through the woods, they won't see us. No one will..." 

Slowly, but surely she had calmed down. "Here," I said patting my bike seat. She sat down and soon we were off, I peddled fast so that we could get to the back roads without being seen. Throughout the entire ride, she held my waist tightly. Never letting going. When we reached my house, I set my bike in my garage. As I opened the door to the house, she took hold of my hand. I smiled at her.

"Dustin..." She whimpered. squeezing my hand.

"It's okay y/n, I don't think anyone's home." She hesitantly nodded her head. I began to walk in the house. "Okay, Y/n. I'm gonna go have you sit in my room. I'm searching the house really fast, okay?" Again she nodded. Quickly we sped through the halls, never once letting go of the others hand. Once we had reached my room, I opened the door hesitantly... 

 Your POV

Slowly Dustin opens the door, in the room was a single bed. The wall his bed was placed next to was painted dark blue, every other wall was a pale, tan shade. All around the room was clothes, and game pieces. I had turned all around looking at the room. On one of the walls was a rather large shelf that held tons of books.

"Oh Jesus, sorry." He yelled as he pushed through me, and began to pick up clothing. "I'm not used to having girls over..." He blushed. I gave a slight grin and then continued to look around the room. The room was rather big, much larger than the room I had in Hawkins lab. In my room was a single mattress, that was all. Nothing else...
