The five kids were walking down the tracks, Dustin carrying the compass and leading them the way.
Jess was walking next to Eleven's right, Mike on her left.
Eleven was breathing heavily and Jess figured it was from the walking and she couldn't say they were almost there if she didn't know it herself.
Eleven grabbed onto Mike, looking at him.
"Mike."
"Yeah?"
"Turn back," she says, looking now also turning to Jess to let her know she was also included in this conversation.
"What? Why?" Jess asked, furrowing her eyebrows together.
"I'm tired."
Mike sighs.
"Look, I'm sure we're almost there. Just hold on a little longer, okay?"
Jess noticed she stopped to look back.
"¿Once? Are you okay?"
Eleven looked at Jess, frowning.
"I'm okay Jessie...just tired."
Jess sighed, looking down and Eleven took the chance to wipe her nose quickly from the blood that was running down her nose.
"Just...hold onto my hand and lean on me if you get too tired okay? It's what I do with the boys when I get really tired and we still have to keep a move on."
Eleven nodded walking towards her and grabbing her hand, both of them catching up to Mike.
Eleven grabbed onto Mike's hand and he looked at her before looking down, blushing as he intertwined his fingers with hers, just as Eleven had done with Jess' hand.
The three continued on following the tracks.

They were walking through the junkyard, Jess still holding onto Eleven's hand.
Dustin stopped, looking up.
"Oh, no."
"'Oh, no'? What's, 'Oh, no'?" Lucas asked.
