TROUBLE • WHEELER [✔︎]

[Chapter Nine]

Winter.

It was winter. Not sure what day but it's winter alright. Me and El have been doing fine. The chief found us and is hiding us, I'm guessing he doesn't want Eleven to be around since we both disappeared but what I don't understand is why keep me? I'm not special like her, I don't have a power nor a number. But I'm getting ahead of myself, let's begin the night we disappeared. We walked around the woods to Mike's house. I peeked through the windows and Eleven was by my side looking at the vans. My lips formed a small smile as I saw Mike but I was heartbroken just seeing him all broken. He looked at the window and saw me. I put my hand over the window and let a few tears escape. El tugged on my sleeve and pointed at the vans. We started to run away, why am I with her? I should be at home. But she needed me so I had to stay. We spent a couple months out in the open, the winter kicked in even more and we needed shelter. Fortunately we found the chief who took us to his cabin and gave us a home.

"Y/n you will not believe what I found." I turned around to find Hopper holding some papers I'm guessing important files.

"What's that?" Eleven asked. I started to teach her some words when Hopper was gone.

"Well I found them on Hawkins lab when we went to save Will." He took a seat and set them on the table.

"Y/n you're special, meaning you're like Eleven." I was surprised, but how? I don't have my powers or a tattoo.

"Then why Have I never used my powers?"

"Your parents didn't teach you to use them. You entered the lab as a toddler and were pulled out of it two months later. Your parents were threatening the lab with suing them and revealing their dirty secrets." Hopper explained.

"Then why don't I have a tattoo?"

"Because your parents didn't let the lab. They let you inside without adding the tattoo." I was shocked. So I do have powers.

"I'm not hungry." I stood up and walked to my room. I locked myself and cried on my bed. How did I not know? Why keep this a secret if I was going to find out anyways? I stood up and wiped my tears away. I walked to my closet and searched for my Walkman.

"Where is it?" I looked under the bed and found it. I grabbed it and heard Mike just like I did every night. Sometimes eleven would play with it and leave it in some place hidden.

"Oh Mike, how much I miss you."

MIKE'S POV

It's been months since Eleven and N/n disappeared. If I just had stopped her she wouldn't have disappeared. Will is alright and he's at the hospital. Right now we're waiting for the doctor to tell us if he's okay.

"William Byers?" We walked into the hospital room to find Will laying on the hospital bed.

"Hey guys." He smiled. He seemed weak but he obviously is, he's been stuck in another dimension for a week. The boys bombarded him with events that happened while he was gone.

"Wait wait! Where's N/n?" My heart stopped and I looked down.

"She's gone.." Dustin rubbed my back.

"What do you mean She's gone?"

"She grabbed Elevens hand before she disappeared and now..She's gone."

"But she would've loved to be here with you Will." Lucas said.

"She'll be back, I just know it." Will reassured.

"I hope so Will, I really do hope so."
