Forwards sequel

I need you

Mike POV

I held the flashlight tightly in my grip.

"We have to find her tonight. Are you sure you saw her come this way?" I asked as I faced Jonathan and Nancy. Jonathan nodded his head.

"We'll find her Mike. I called Steve up, he's collecting my brother and the rest. Need all the help we can get." Jonathan mentioned, I agreed with him and continued walking.

As Jonathan wandered off to wait for Steve and the others, Nancy stood next to me.

"If we find her... what's going to happen between you two?" She asked me. I rubbed my neck nervously and shrugged my shoulders.

"What do you mean?" I mumbled, Nancy rolled her eyes and gave me a look.

"You love her. But, you're still with El. You guys have to sort something out, specially you." Nancy mentioned. I scoffed and just stared at the ground.

"Are we involving Hopper in this?" I asked Jonathan, Jonathan just nodded his head.

"No. Not until we find her." He replied, I exhaled and examined as car lights pulled up in front of us.

Y/N POV

I began eating my food and just stared at the bonfire I made. I didn't mind being alone, over these past weeks I've taught myself to hunt and to set traps. I've been practising fighting, and by fighting I mean punching tree's... Well just punching the bark off the tree. My knuckles were bruised but it was worth it, I could no longer care about pain when I defend myself with my fists.

I learned how to roll myself over when I have seizures, It's scary but I have to live with it.

I finished my food and fiddled with the my knife in my hands, yeah I stole some knives as well. Also stole Mom's gun when she wasn't home. A girl's gotta do what she has to do...

*talking in the distance*
"Be careful guys. There's wire and rope. There's traps set up." Someone spoke. I scoffed as I heard that.

I raised my brow and stood up looking around. I clenched my jaw and gripped onto my knife. I slowly made my way into my house and decided to grab my gun. Peaking slowly I tried looking for the intruders that were coming my direction, my breathing was intense and my heart beat was fast.

I saw the silhouettes of  people coming my way, I made my move and headed out sneakily. I made sure to hide behind a tree.

"You got this." I mumbled. Step by step the person heading my way got louder, I held onto my knife properly and prepared myself for what was going to happen next.

The walking got louder as this person came near the tree I was hiding behind, I snapped quickly and grabbed them by their arm and placed it behind their back. I let them feel my sharp knife along their back, I dragged the blade gently down.

"Leave" I whispered. Then I looked at this dudes hair, the familiar hair. Steve.

"Just let me go Y/N." Steve mentioned, I rolled my eyes and let him go. He turned around slowly and gave me the biggest hug.

"YOU'RE ALIVE YES WE KNEW IT." He yelled as he spun me around, I chuckled slightly and then heard the other footsteps gather to where we were.

"Y/N?" A voice murmured, Steve placed me down and all the flashlights faced me and Steve. I blinked and stared at the party, then I saw Mikes face.

He gave off a small smile and looked like he was going to cry. I gulped and watched as he stepped forward to wrap his arms around me.

"Why didn't you tell us you were alive? Why didn't you tell me you were alive? I missed you. And you allowed us to think you were dead." He whispered,

I missed him too.... but did he actually miss me? He was all over Eleven at my funeral...

" I thought it was best for me." I replied, Mike nodded a no and held me closer.

"I need you." Mike whispered. I pulled from his hug again and stared at the group behind him, they all smiled and were all happy to see me. Was I happy to see Mike? Or was I jealous again?..
