Monday, Assday

Four's POV
Today is Monday, which means school. But the bright side is that I finally have a bike, so I don't have to look like an overly attached girlfriend.

We had Mrs. Prescott the first class, she's our pain in the ass english teacher. I've always had hate for teachers like her, strict, stubborn, hell
Of a pain. The whole package.

Once school ended, me and the gang biked back to the house and started blasting some music, lots and lots. I started dancing on the table until Mike also came on the table and carried me in a piggy back on his shoulders, I was screaming and laughing at the same time for him to put me down because I was afraid he was gonna drop me, especially since we're on a table.

He finally put me on the floor gracefully as I chuckled at his beautiful, symmetrical face. He was truly The one for me, and I was the one for him.

I told El to meet me at the backyard outside, I had to tell her about the mind flayer. I knew I said I wouldn't but I had to, I can't face this alone.

I said: "Hey, El. I need to tell you something important, its about you." "Yes?" She curiously asked. I told her everything about the dream aka the black out I had.

She had a look of worry and sorrow on her face, I hugged her so tight, so long. I looked her in the eye and said: "Don't worry, we'll defeat it...together."

She had the weakest smile on her face that made my heart shatter, I just wanted to hug her for hours and tell her that it'll be alright. She's my sister, but also my best friend and the bestest.

I told her: "give me your hands." She gave them to me, then I continued: "now close your eyes and focus on the upside down, 3...2...1"

I heard sounds of crashing as me and El appeared in the upside down, I held her shoulders tightly and looked her dead in the eyes and whispered: "it'll. Be. Ok. I'm right here with you." We went in Mike's house I then whistled to get the mind flayer's attention, it came towards the house, I used my powers and held El's hand, if I held someone's hand while I was using my powers they could be invisible too, but they could actually see me, so I ran down the stairs, out of the house and into the woods. As I stopped using my powers and explained the plan: "Can you make me fly or something to that big tree by It? Because there is this red thing in his brain thats glowing maybe if we kill it it can actually die." she nodded as I used my powers again and we came from behind it, she put me on the tree branch peacefully, I was about to jump on its head, until it saw me and before I could even think to use my powers it knocked me down, before I hit the grass, I screamed to El: "WAKE UP!" Thats when she ran into the woods and screamed as hard as she could. I only saw a bit of her, then she was gone. As I was blacking out too, not waking up from it, but dying in the upside down.

I felt my eyes open to six figures around me in a circle, My vision cleared up as I saw it was the gang. I felt a huge pain on my arm, just like when I fell on it from the tree. It started aching, it wasn't broken that was the good thing. Mike then said: "Y/n? are you ok?" I said: "what? Y-yeah I'm fine, I'm ok."

I went inside Mike's room, Mike following me and he said: "Y/n, are you sure you're ok?" "No." I said as I was currently crying running into his arms for his comfort. I said: "Mike, the mind flayer is still here, its after El, a-and I don't know what to do, how to help her. I mean I kinda did, but I just put here in more trouble."

He pulled away from the hug and said: "Y/n, don't ever think that. That isn't true and you know it! Look, I might not have been with you but I still know that if you could you would do anything to help her or anyone."

I smiled at his cheesy, yet sweet comment. I loved how sure of myself he made me, I've always doubted myself for what I could or couldn't do. Who I should've and shouldn't saved.

I just had his positivity, at my hands that was valuable every moment of the day, and I wouldn't know what to do without him.
