I've had enough.
There's a voice in my head, says I'm better off dead.
And I believe it.
It's all set.
I ran away, everyone will just think I ran away.
I walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the water down below.
Deep breaths.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
It's okay. After I do this, I'll be free. Maybe I'll be okay.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Everyone will get over it. I know they will. This is just a small obstacle for them to overcome.
Deep breath.
In out.
And then I jump.
Lights out.

Three days after he went missing, Mike was found unconscious in the lake.

- W I L L -

I can't help but think it's my fault.

- D U S T I N -

I can't believe he did this....

- L U C A S -

I thought he was better. Okay. At least okay.

- MAX -

this is fucking bullshit.

- ELEVEN -

But he'll get better right?
He has to.
He has to be okay.

But maybe he won't be. I wasn't good enough. I couldn't help him. He'd probably just try it again if he lives.

This is my fault.

" So are we all going to sit here and cry all day or actually be productive and do something? " I hear Max say.
I want to respond.
I want to be mad.
But I just cry more.

- W I L L -

I snapped.
" You know what Max, not everything is about you! So stop being so fucking selfish for once! Your friend could die and you don't even give a shit! Maybe try for once to be a little bit caring or understanding! "
" It's not my fault you're in love with him or something, Byers! " Max crossed her arms.
" You wonder why no one likes you, well it's because you're a bitch! " I yelled, staring into Max's eyes.

" Can you both just shut up?! " Lucas yelled. We both looked over at him and then to Dustin and El. Dustin was crying into Lucas' shoulder and El was holding Mike's hand, staring at him, almost in a trance, tears pouring from her eyes like a waterfall.

Max sat back as did I.
" I'm sorry Will. I just don't know how to deal with shit like this honestly.... "
" It's fine, I swear. I'm sorry I snapped at you. "
Max nodded.
We both looked around the room.

After another long half hour of silence, tears and helplessness, Lacy walked in.
I wiped my eyes, trying to sound okay.
" Hey babe. " ( you heard right, Lacy and Dustin are dating now ) I said weakly, unable to even smile at her.
" Hey. Are you guys feeling any better? " Lacy said, looking at everyone and then at Mike, I could see she was holding back tears.
" Hell no. If anything we feel worse. " Lucas said, I could see how tight he was holding Max's hand. They must be the only thing holding each other together right now. A few more tears escaped my eyes.
Will nodded weakly.
" I'm so sorry...this is just...it's so terrible. " Lacy said, she was crying now, but she wiped her tears as best as she could and sat next to me, letting me be the one to cry into her shoulder.

- ELEVEN -

This is all my fault.

- W I L L -

This is all my fault.
