come home ; WILL BYERS

36

I finished my sandwich and washed the plate, putting it back to its cabinet then back to the room.

"(Y/n), come here, is this the right one?" Joyce asked, showing me a photo of will, his bowl cut done neatly and he wore a red t-shirt and smiled brightly. I smiled and replied.

"Yeah, that's perfect," I handed it back to Joyce and Jonathan and her chuckled a bit, I could see the slight wetness underneath johnathans eye.

The phone rang.

All our heads snapped towards the phone and Joyce ran after it and answered it immediately.

"Hello?" She asked into the line, she got no reply. "Lonnie? Hopper? W-who is this?" She stammered, realisation kicked in and she gripped onto the phone with both hands. "Will?" She asked the phone, begging for a response.

"Mom who is it?" Johnathan asked,

"Will?" She shouted at the phone, looking at me and johnathan.

"Is it will, joyce?" I asked, she kept screaming into the phone.

"Will?" She asked again and the phone  sparked, burning the phone out.

Johnathan picked up the phone and tried asking who was it, Joyce was speechless, her hand covered her mouth.

"Who was it?" I asked and she starting looking at me and Jonathan cluelessly.

"It was will!" He annoyced, her voice broke and she reached out to the phone, pulling back again; unsure what to do.

"What did he say mom?" Johnathan asked, putting the phone back looking at his mother.

"He was just breathing," she said, reaching for something, most likely will, but he wasn't to be seen, she was reaching for nothing but air.

I could feel tears sting in my eyes. Will byers, known as joyce byers son whose gone missing, johnathans byers younger brother and my boyfriend/ best friend has been missing for over 24 hours and has just breathed into phone. Still no answer to where he is but at least we know he's alive. Gosh that feels awful I say, but he's alive, he is alive god damn it.
