DUSTIN'S P.O.V
Me, Lucas and Will all sit in Will's bedroom in awkward silence. Mike told us he has something REALLY important to tell us. It's almost midnight and we are all tired. I really care about Mike, but I really think the whole eleven thing is getting to his head. I look at Lucas and Will. Lucas looks really pissed, and Will looks sad. I don't know what's wrong with him. All night he just sat on his bed staring at his wall. He looks flustered. I sigh and put my head in my hands.

WILL'S P.O.V
I don't want to tell the other guys what happened. I understand why he was mad, but it still hurt my feelings. Also I haven't been feeling too good lately.. my stomach has been squirming all day. I clench my stomach, grit my teeth, and take a deep breath. I hope they don't come back...

LUCAS'S P.O.V
It's almost midnight and I'm tired. Whatever Mike has to say, it better be important. Mike keeps saying that el is alive, when we saw her die in front of our eyes. I think he's literally going insane. But I do care about him, so here I wait in the Byers home, staring at my feet. After what seems like a century, we hear a light tapping on the window. Will looks back, then turns back around. What's his problem? I stand up, walk over to the window, and open it. In comes crashing Mike, stumbling over nothingness, and falling to the floor. I roll my eyes and look down at him. "What's so important that you had us all wait here at midnight?" He stood up and dusted himself off. "So when I was at my physiatrist I saw this weird little girl and she said my name and then when I left I saw her again and she had a 12 on her wrist and then she said she knew eleven and then she disappeared and now I know for a fact eleven is alive!" He said all in one breath. My jaw dropped and I raised an eyebrow. "Nah, this isn't happening again. I'm not dealing with another little girl." I say and I start pacing around the room. Dustin smiles. "What are you smiling about?" I ask.
"You're pacing. You used to make fun of me for that and now look at you!" He giggles. Mike giggles a little too.
"Whatever." I say and I sit down. "The important thing is that we stay away from that little girl as much as possible!" I say. "Why?" Mike asks. "She said she knew who eleven was!"
"I bet that was all part of your imagination. Maybe you need to go back to that psychiatrist"
"No way!" "Yeah, go back to the psychiatrist." We hear Will mumble. We all look in his direction for a second. He lifts his eyebrows. "What? Lucas is right. Mike is going insane and he needs help." "What the hell did I ever do to you Will?" Mike says.
"You know exactly what you did Mike!"
"Will you're my friend! Why would I ever want to make you upset!?"
"Yeah well friends dont yell at each other when they are trying to help you!" "would you all please shut up before you wake up Joyce or Jonathan?" Dustin says.

MIKE'S P.O.V
Oh shit. I forgot about our argument over the walkie-talkies. I feel regret devour me. Will turns back to the wall. Dustin continues. "Look Mike. We wanna help, but we don't wanna be caught up in the whole bad men thing again. Why was there another little girl there anyways?" "I don't know for sure." I say. "At first I thought she was just normal until she showed me the 12 on her arm."
"12? Why was there the number 12?"
"Because you nitwitt." Lucas says. "12 was the next test subject." I raise my eyebrows. "So you do believe me?" I ask.
"No. I'm just being a good friend okay."
"Aw you DO believe me!" I say and attack him in a hug. Dustin starts laughing. I even hear a chuckle come from Will.
"Ew! Gross get off of me! " Lucas says as he pushes me. I laugh as he crosses his arms and rolls his eyes. As Dustin is laughing, we are all stopped by a creak. "What the hell is going on?" We hear a distant groggy Joyce say. "Shit! Everyone hide and Will act asleep!" Lucas says as we all hide under the bed. Dustin turns off the lamp as he tries to squeeze in. Will covers up with his blanket and Lucas pulls Dustin under just as Joyce walks in. We are all silent. I could barely see Joyce walk over to the side of the bed. "Aww, he's so cute." We hear Joyce say. I then hear her gently place a kiss on his cheek. We then hear her slowly walk out the room and quietly shut the door. After the coast is clear we all climb out from under the bed and stand up. Will uncovers and wipes his cheek. Dustin laughs and says "aww! Will got a kiss from momma!" Lucas plays along. "It's probably his first kiss too!" And we all start laughing. Will slaps Lucas's arm. "Shut up! You guys better go before you get caught." "Ok" I say whispering. "Here's the plan. Tomorrow after school we all meet in the woods by our carving tree. I'll be waiting there until you guys arrive." "Why won't you be at school?" Lucas asks. "Because my mom wants me to clear my mind" I say making air quotation marks. "Just stupid crap. But she'll let me go out. Ok?" I say. "Okay" Lucas and Dustin say. We all turn to Will. "You're gonna be there, right?" I say. "Yeah" he says shakily as he grabs his stomach. "What's wrong? I say. "Nothing." He says. "Probably has the love bug." Dustin says. Lucas punches his arm. "Ow!" He exclaims. "Okay. Well we're gonna go now. See you tomorrow." I say as I slowly open the window. One by one we creep out, and of course when it comes to my turn, I slip and fall to the grass. Lucas rolls his eyes again and lifts me up. I slowly close the window back and scurry away.

WILL'S P.O.V
My stomach hurts like hell. I grab it as I feel something climb up my throat. Oh no. I slowly open my door and tip- toe to the bathroom. I close the door and turn on the light. It blinds my eyes for a second. When I can finally see, I look at my reflection. My face is pale, and you can see my veins. I start to breathe heavy as I feel something come up my throat. I bend over the sink and puke up big, slimy, slugs. They came back. I wipe my mouth and the world turned hazy. I look around and... wait. This isn't home. My bathroom curtain is torn and there is goop and slime everywhere. I feel dizzy. I'm back in that same creepy place I was a few months ago. I panic. "HELP! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! IM LOST! I DON'T WANNA DO THIS AGAIN!" I say tears falling down my face. I sit down in the corner and turn into a ball. I start sobbing into my knees until I hear a familiar voice. "WILL?" I look up and see Jonathan and Joyce standing in the bathroom doorway breathing heavily in my normal house, in this not so normal town, in the normal world.
