➵CHAPTER FIVE.
'trust me, okay?'

"nancy?" mike whispered, walking into her bedroom.

nancy turned on the lights and looked up at mike.

"mike?" she said in a raspy voice.

"are you okay? come here" she tapped next to her, moving her body to make some space for him.

"no, no. nancy. i'm fine. listen. when you went into the upside down a few years ago, what forest was it?"

"what? why do you-"

"nance. please."

nancy rubbed her forehead.

"um, near mirkwood i think" she let out a shaky breath.

mike bit his lip and nodded.

"okay. go back to sleep" he said, standing up.

nancy grabbed his wrist.

"wait, where are you going?"

"i don't have time right now. but i'll come back in a few hours. the boys are coming with me"

"mike"

"please nancy. just trust me, okay?"

nancy looked at mike for a few seconds before sighing.

"okay. but don't do anything out of the normal"

mike left out a chuckle.

"i don't think i can find anything normal in my life anymore, nance." he kissed her cheek and quickly ran out of the room.

"okay grab your compasses kids!" dustin said, hopping off of his bike.

everyone hopped of their bikes (except max, who hopped off her skate). mike handed a couple of compasses to will, lucas and max.

"okay, so if we follow north, it should lead as to nancy's gate" mike said.

"what if it's closed?" max asked.

"let's hope for the best" mike sighed, starting to walk across the woods.

the gang started walking, following the compasses direction. after a few minutes in silence, dustin spoke up.

"don't you think we should've called hopper?"

"no dustin, we can do this" lucas said.

and well, let's just say mike kind of zoomed out from there, obviously knowing that they where going to start a discussion.

-

"mike!"

mike looked at will.

will pointed at a tree from a few meters away from them.
