"oh, shit!," i murmur, furrowing my eyebrows at the TV. el gently hits me with her free arm, but has a small smile on her face. "language," she teases. i felt my heart almost jump out of my chest, leaning in to kiss her forehead as she places her hand on my cheek.
but, she turns her head, and i gently press my lips against hers, as she pulled away, giggling. "i love you," she whispers, entertaining her hand with mine. "i love you too," i smile, squeezing her hand.
then,
i wake up to the sound of intense crying as i look beside me. "el?," i ask, turning my head to see her, her arms tightly against me but also starting to kick me away, which wasn't a good combo.
"el," i say, wincing at how hard she was kicking me. i felt myself roll over and off of the couch, holding my arm that felt like it smashed into a million pieces, seeing if i could move it.
when i could, i leant on it to sit up, el still tossing and turning. i bit my lip, and grabbed her arm, then hoisted myself over her as i held her arms down. "el, wake up, it's a dream," i said, loudly.
then, will woke up. he wiped his eyes and quickly shook dustin awake as el started to calm down. her eye flew open, full of fear.
"mike!," she said, sitting up, quickly. i fell back onto the floor, hitting my head roughly. my eyes widened, and so did el's, as i put my hand behind my head feeling something warm and sticky.
"shit," dustin said, and i sat up, groaning. will looked at my head, and dustin's face grew pale as he sat next to el. "what's up," he murmured.
el was silent for a second, and then she looked down. "i s- saw mike, and lucas."
dustin's eyes widened, his legs shaking as he grabbed el by the shoulders, tightly, startling her.
"where, el? where were they!"
"f- forest-" el said, gently, dustin cutting her off.
"what forest, el?"
"i don't- don't know."
"you have to know!," he practically screamed. "where were they? are they in danger? was it the upside down? el, come on you have to know this!"
i grabbed dustin by the shoulder, throwing him away from el, who was shaking. "asshole!," i shouted. "you're scaring her!"
"shut up, mayfield!"
"guys, calm down!," will yelled, glaring at the both of us.
"i haven't seen lucas or mike in three days now, have you guys? or even heard of them?"
"nope," max said, looking down.
"no," el murmured, gently.
"i- i know something," dustin said, and crossed his arms.
"a night ago, they contacted me," he continued, and looked down.
"it was on the walkie talkie, but the connection was shit. they were screaming and running from something. i don't know where they were, but they were terrified."
then, everyone was silent.
"what if i try to find them in the void?"
"what if you can't?"
