           I was sitting alone in the woods. It was about 10:50 PM, and it was freezing. I ran away from my house due to complications. "WILL?!" "WILL?!" "WILL!?" A few voices yelled over each other. I saw three flashlight glares along the cluttered trees. "WHY DID WE EVEN BOTHER COMING IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IT JUST MAKES IT TEN TIMES HARDER!" One yelled. I saw one of the glares of the flashlights spin around until. *SMACK* "OW!" I yelled while rubbing the part of my head it hit and rolling in a ball, which then caused me to roll down the hill and hit a tree. "owwww..." I whimpered.
         "Guys, someone's down here!" I heard one whisper-yell. One of the flashlight glares were down the hill, which hints that I was just hit in the head with a flashlight. The other two lights were slowly moving down the hill until they pointed at me. "Are you okay?!" One asked. "Other than being hit in the head by a flashlight and rolling down a hill, hitting a tree, yeah I'm pretty dandy." I replied sarcastically as I sat up. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know anyone else was down here. I wouldn't have thrown it down the hill if I knew you were here." The one who I presume threw the flashlight apologized. "It's fine, but can I get some help?" I asked. One ran over and helped me up. We walked back up the hill and I didn't exactly travel on anything so they just walked their bikes and we talked. "So what's your name?" One asked, "y/n. but my friends used to call me y/n/n." I replied, "used to?" Another asked, "I don't have any friends anymore." I replied quietly. "We can be your friends!" One replied. "Thanks." I laughed. "My name's Lucas." One said. "I'm Dustin." Another said, "I'm Mike," the last one stated. We stopped at Mike's house and went to his basement. I took off my glasses and noticed a huge crack in one lens. "Oh nononononononoooooo" I whined. "What's wrong?" Mike asked. "My glasses cracked." I replied. "Can't you get them fixed?" Lucas asked. "I can't, my dad would- nevermind." I stopped myself. "Well Mike I'd love to stay but my mom is making macaroni so I gotta go." Dustin stated as he left the basement. "I have to leave too, I still have to do my science homework. Bye y/n/n!" Lucas excused himself and left the basement with Dustin.
       "Why were you in the forest earlier?" Mike asked. "I just- I can't tell you." I replied. "You can trust me, I won't tell anyone." Mike tried to reason. "My parents, they hit me, and they take out all their anger on me, and they blame everything on me, and they will do anything to make my life horrible, just because they can't fix their own." I spilled out the truth as I began to cry. "Hey, hey, it's okay. Have you told anyone?" He asked as he rubbed my back. "I've told my friends but they accused me of lying and then I got beaten up when my parents found out. Please don't tell anyone." I replied, still in tears.
"We can't just keep this quiet, y/n. This is serious! Your parents should be in jail by now!" Mike stated. "They always get away with it." I said quietly. "I tried to tell the police,but my parents caught me before I got to the station. They've unhooked the phone, and they cut themselves from anything that puts them in danger." I added.
"Do you want to stay here for the night?" Mike asked. "Really?! I'd be happy to, but what if my parents find me?" I asked. "If they are hiding from the cops I doubt they would have a search party or anythin-" Mike reasoned but stopped. Tears started to form in his eyes. "Mike?" I asked, looking at him. "The reason we were out in the forest was because our friend Will Byers is missing. No adults are doing a good job looking for him, so almost every night we go biking into the woods to look for him." Mike replied with a shaky voice. I looked into his eyes and then hugged him. "It's okay, you'll find him. I know you will." I comforted, still embracing him. "I'll set up your bed." Mike stated as he pulled away from the hug. "Thank you." I replied then I kissed his cheek. He began to blush. He sat back down, put his hands on my cheeks, and kissed me on the lips. They began to move in sync at a slow pace. We then pulled away. "I love you, Mike." I stated. "I love you, y/n/n." He replied.
