"It on her neck!" Mike shouted. "Any further and it's in her brain" he said.

The room was filed with fear and worry. Tension that she might not survive.

I started to choke. With it closing my air way, breathing was becoming impossible. The veins were coming into my throat, burning everything in its way. I looked at my hands realizing that they were gone. The skin color wasn't there. I was shaking. I felt defeated. I was weak, useless, and gone at this point.

I took my last breaths until I saw myself in the mirror. I saw the black beads in my eyes. My blue eyes were gone.

"No" I whispered.

"NO!" I shouted trying to stand up.

"Yo-you c-can't do this to m-me. You're the one that is w-weak! Not me! You can't maniple me. Let's kill you instead!" I said finally on my feet raising my left hand I pointed it to the mirror.

Screaming with all my might, he was trying to reach out to me. Screaming on top of my lungs I relived every memory I had. All the experiments done on me, all the monsters that I faced, all the lonely places I've stayed. The feelings that this has put me through.

But on top of that, all the amazing friends I had made, the amazing boy that I saved and would literally sacrifice my life for. And then Steve. The brother/ mom I never had. All the love that made me live a normal life. One where I wasn't experimented on, one were I could feel loved by someone other than me. It was as if the emotions were going from my mind down to my hands. And into the monster. Killing it, making sure it was gone forever.

All the power going in, killed him, cracking the mirror was a sign of success. The mist and veins coming back down and out of the scar. Still tear the opening though. Being killed by the air around it. In that moment I knew I had done it. I saved my family, my friends, and Will. With all the pain I felt, I fell to the floor.

"She's not shaking any more" Dustin said.

"Take the blind fold off." Eleven said.

After Steve removed the fold, tears stained my cheeks. Blood turning my skin red. Laying in Steve's arms.

"Is she ok?" Will said coming up to me.

The tension that filled the room consisted of fear and the thought of something they love, might be gone.

Joyce holding the hand of Will.

"Nicole, pl-please wake up. I need y-you" Mike said stuttering on his words.

"We all need you." Max said eyes tear up. With one blink, a tear rolled down from Lucas eye.

"Wake up, wake up please." Steve in tears.

It was if everything was in slow motion. What was minutes seemed to feel like hours of tears staining the rugged floor.

And with the final word, final silent, final tear drop I inhale waking up. Breathing heavily.

"NICOLE!" they all shouted.

"We were so worry." Joyce said hugging me.

With each of them giving me a reply, they all hugged me.

I was normal and with the same people who saved me. The feeling came back. Love was back in my heart and I knew that I would never have it lost again.

2 months later:

Going back to school was finally a relief to me. Seeing all my friends again made me extremely happy. Being back in Mr. Clarks class was all full of smiles. No one was going to bother me from that day on.

When the bell rang we all hangout by the lockers.

"Hey today we should go over to my house." I suggested.

"All right." Max said.

As we all walked down the stairs and into the sun light they all raced to my house.

"I'll be right there" I said. Just me and Will.

"I don't know how you did it, but you saved everyone." Will said looking into my eyes.

"You help me." I said.

"What? How?" Will questioned.

"You made me realize how strong I was."

"Really-" before he could finish I leaned it.

Stopping him from talking. Even though it took him by surprise, he also leaned in. Feeling his warm soft lips against mine made me feel like I truly won. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I could fell his arms slowly wrap around my waist because of how surprised he was.

After what felt like an eternity I stepped back. We exchange smiles before being interrupted.

"Guys, come on! Let's go" Dustin joked.

After one last look at each other we laughed and ran off with them.


Arriving at Steve's house we exchange our hellos to Steve.

"Hey were going to the arcade so I'm just getting my money." I said to Steve.

"Wait, will you be save, will you eat on time." Steve said with a kitchen towel over his arm.

"Yes mom!" I said teasing him.

"Come here." Steve said wrapping his arm around me.

I rested my cheek on his chest. He care about me very much and to be honest I didn't want to let go.

After parting I ran off with my friends.

"Hey Nicole." Steve yelled back.

"Yes" I said turning my head from my bike.

"Have fun!" he said with the biggest smile.

"Will do!" I chuckled. Finally riding away with my friend to the arcade.

My past may have been rough but I just needed the right influence and inspiration to make me stronger. My friend and family were here and from this day on I was never going to be alone. No matter how hard I would try they always had my back. And that was the way I liked it. Max still my secret keeper even though I didn't need to hide the fact that I liked Will anymore.

Eleven still like my sister. Understanding everything I go through.

Mike still my rock. Always having my back.

Dustin my brother. If you didn't know Steve apparently adopted us.

And Will and Steve being my everything. Always there for me.

Everyone not scared anymore. And for me not alone or frighten to face my fears of the stranger things.
