Boom; a Byler Fanfiction

{~Chapter One~}

:Will's p.o.v:

Drop, drop, drop.
That's what I've been hearing on Mike's basement window for the past two hours, playing D&D. I haven't been paying attention to the game though, because I've been focusing on the upcoming storm. Why, you may ask? Because I hate storms. I hate them, because storms remind me of that place. I'm a whimp, believe me, I know. I'm a whimp, because I let the smallest things remind me of that nightmare that I was trapped in for far too long, mindlessly calling out for help, for Mike, for anyone. I was weak. I still am. Everyone treats me like a toy now, they've been doing it ever since I came back. I hate it. It makes me feel the time weaker than I already know I am. Then, the first roar of thunder rips through the air. I jump, and hide my face into my hands. The memories of the upside down come flooding back to my mind, the coldness, the feeling of losing hope, and slowly dying. The demogorgens, how dark and evil everything felt. Having no one there. It all comes back, and the tears start to form. I could feel the lump in my throat.
Boom
Boom
Boom.
"No..." I barely whisper. " No, no, no. Not again, not ever again...no... " I whisper again, y voice cracking. I hear faint voices around me. I curl into a ball.
"Lucas..." Fade. " Dustin... " faint. "Go home..." Fade. "Got this..." Faint.

I feel a hand on my shoulder, pulling me back into reality.I
"Will?!" Mike. " Will?! Will are you okay?! What happened?! " he asks, worry, and confusion mixed together in his voice, lacing it.

"The storm..." I start. I look out the window in his basement. " it made me remember that place... " I said, tears still in my eyes.

"Oh Will..." Mike says, pulling me into a hug, one of which I immediately return without thought. Mike has always made me feel better, or less tense, just by talking or touching me. He always has, ever since kindergarten. I still don't know why, but he just does. and whenever he laughs, or hugs me, or if he just smiles, I get all warm and fuzzy inside. Is this what having a crush is like...? But I'm not..... gay...... Right?
