Dustin and I ran up the stairs after Will to make sure he made it to the car alright. When we caught up to him he was making his way down the driveway. He was swaying to and fro, Dustin out Will's arm over his shoulder to help him out.
When we got him to the car, his mom looked extremely concerned. "I might take you to the doctor alright?" She told Will. He glared at her, but said nothing.
What is happening is so crazy! Everything is crazy! How did I get myself into this? What if they find out about my dad?
I was snapped out of my panicked daze by the car door slamming. Dustin put his hand on my shoulder, startling me a bit, "Hey are you alright?" He asked me in a concerned voice.
"Um, yeah." I said hesitating.
"I know it's really weird, but it's us." He said giving me a small smile, making me smile back. Sure everything here is strange but I have a feeling these guys are going to be great friends.
We walked back inside and down to the basement. "So when you said powers, what did you mean?" I asked Dustin, he smiled and looked to El. "Do you want to show her?" He asked and she nodded, everyone in the room was smiling but me, I had no idea what was going to happen.
Suddenly the ground underneath me was gone and I was floating up in the air. I screamed in shock and heard the boys laughing. How is this possible?!
"Holy shit!" I shouted as I floated around, then I drifted slowly and gently to the ground.
"That was amazing!" I couldn't stop smiling, this was so incredible.
Then I saw Eleven's nose bleeding, she wiped the blood away with her sleeve. "Oh my God, are you ok?" I asked her anxiously, she nodded "It happens." She replied and smiled gently.

Over the next few hours I got to know everyone really well, they went into more depth about the weeks Will went missing and how they found Eve. I could not have asked for a better first day.

Narrator

"Ok Will we are going straight to the doctors, right now." Joyce told her son looking down at him beside her as they drove through the almost empty streets. She was worried about him, she had been for a while now, she had insisted that he sees a doctor before but he had always shrugged it off and said he was fine.
Today was different, she wouldn't take 'fine' because she New for sure he wasn't.
She drove with haste to the towns doctor. Upon arriving she discovered a note on the door, 'Sorry for the inconvenience, we have relocated!' She read then jotted down the new address. It was oddly familiar to her but she kept the thought at the back of her mind.
She got back into the car to find her son murmuring to himself, too quiet to make out.
She furrowed her eyebrows and backed out of the parking space. Joyce eyed the crumpled paper she had written the address, she knew where it was, just not what it used to be.
As the car turned the final corner and arrived at its destination Joyce let out a gasp as she looked up at the familiar building. Workers were outside taking down signs and putting up new ones.
This was the old Hawkins lab. This is where Joyce and Hopper had risked it all for Will. This is where the gate was that had let in the monster had been. This is where Eleven had spent the first twelve years of her life.
Joyce slowly got out of the car and stared up at the evil building, she shook her head then went round to the other side of the car so help her son out. They walked in together slowly then up to the reception desk, "Hi I was wondering if my son was able to see a doctor?", the receptionist smiled and handed Joyce a form to fill out, "The wait shouldn't be too long."
Joyce took the forms back up to the desk then proceeded to sit back down in the waiting room with Will.
"Buyers?" Joyce stood up and pulled her son to his feet. He was pale, very pale. They walked up to the desk, "Miss Brenner will see you now."
"Brenner?" Joyce whispered to herself before a figure appeared in front of her.
"Hello, my name is Dr Amy Brenner, please follow me." She said and smiled sweetly.
Joyce walked faster to catch up to the woman, "Brenner? Why is that name so familiar?" She asked hesitantly. The woman laughed, "My father used to run the old lab here before he was," she paused for a moment to composed herself, "before he died last year. I inherited the land and with my degree, decided to turn it into a doctors surgery." She explained.
"Oh I'm sorry." Joyce looked down, she didn't know what else to say, she wanted to say 'Your father is a monster!' But she couldn't, she was too kindhearted.
And in her head she was praying to herself, praying that this woman wasn't half the monster her father was.
That is not what this town needs.
Another monster.
