ill be missing you - stranger things

Chapter Two: The Weirdos On Maple Street - Part 1

Two of the boys gave us their coats to dry up and then took us to one of their houses. Wait. I recognise this house. This is mikes house. The boys! Mike, Lucas and Dustin! I can't believe it. I've found them again. I don't think they recognise me. I stayed silent, just like my sister as we were sat on the couch.

"Is their a number we can call, for your parents?" Mike asked, I'm sure that was mike.

"Why don't you have hair? Do you have cancer?" Dustin, I think, asked.

"Did you run away?" Lucas, I'm pretty sure it's Lucas, asked.

"Are you twins?" Mike asked.

"How are they twins? They look nothing alike!" Lucas stated.

"They kinda do." Dustin said.

The thunder outside grew louder and startled both me and eleven.

I stayed silent. I don't know if it's a good idea to ask if they remember me or not.

"Are you in trouble?" Mike asked.

"Is that blood?" Lucas said while leaning in to eleven since she had blood on her shirt from killing the bad men. Mike whacked his arm away.

"Stop it! You're freaking them out!"

"They're freaking me out!"

"I bet she's deaf" Dustin wondered. He clapped his hands infront of our faces and we obviously flinched, we aren't deaf.

"Not deaf."

"All right that's enough! They're just scared and cold." Mike finally said.

He ran over to a pile of clothes and picked up some dry, clean clothes for us.

"These are clean, okay?" Mike said while handing them to us. Eleven rubbed them on her face, she always does that with fresh clothes. She then began to take off her T-shirt from benny in front of everyone, luckily mike stopped her and I grabbed her wrist.

"No, no, no!" They all said.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" Dustin yelled while looking away.

"See over there? T-that's the bathroom. Privacy. Get it?" Mike told us.

Mike's POV

They walked into the bathroom and they were both looking around, I began to close it but they both suddenly stopped it.

"You don't want it closed?"

"No." We both said.

"Oh so you can speak?"

"Okay...well, why don't we just keep the door...just like this?" I moved it so it was almost shut but not fully.

"Is that better?"

"Yes." They both said again.

I smiled at them. I feel so bad, something terrible must of happened to them for them to both be acting like this.

I don't know why, but I recognise the girl in the blue shirt, maybe? I don't know but she seems so familiar, I'll ask the rest of they feel the same way.

"Lucas, Dustin!" I called.

"What? Are we going to talk about how she just tried to get naked?!" Dustin asked.

"Calm down, Okay? Don't you think the girl in the blue shirt seems...familiar?" I asked.

"I was kind of thinking that..." Dustin began.

"No, what the hell! Have you ever met a girl with a buzz cut before? Because I sure haven't." Lucas said.

"C'mon man, she seems really familiar." I said.

"She reminds me of what Sev looked like." Dustin added.

"Oh yeah! Sev! It could be her! She looks a lot like her!" I said.

"Why would it be Sev? Sev was kidnapped like, 6 years ago! She didn't have a bald head, she and she definitely said more than 'yes' and 'no'. Your three year old sister says more." Lucas exclaimed.

"You never know." Dustin said.

"Exactly, look they will both stay over here tonight." I began.

"You're letting two girls stay..." Dustin said.

"Just listen! They will stay over here tonight. I will ask the girl if she is Sev, in some way. And tomorrow, they will go out front, knock my door and my mom will help them out, okay?"

Dustin and Lucas just looked at each other with a weird look.

They both left and the two girls came out of the bathroom.

Seven's POV

Mike started to make us a 'fort' he called it, he is letting us sleep here.

"Here you go, This is my sleeping bag, and this is a spare sleeping bag." Mike said handing them to us inside the fort.

We were setting everything up, making it comfortable.

"Hey, um I never asked your names." Mike said.

We gave each other a glance and we decided to pull our sleeves us, showing our '011' and '007' tattoos.

"Is that real?" Mike said leaning in, we both pulled our wrists away from him and gave him a little bit of a dirty look.

"Sorry...I've just never seen a kid with a tattoo before." Mike laughed a little.

"Eleven, Seven? What does it mean?" He asked.

We pointed at ourselves.

"That's your names?"

We both nodded.

Mike's POV

Seven...seven...sev! It's got to be her.

"Sev...I-is that you?" I asked her.

Her eyes grew wide, so did elevens.

Seven's POV

I guess I should just tell him, he understands, unlike the others.

I sighed and then said, "Yes...y-yes."

"I can't believe it! No way!" Mike said hugging me. It took me a few seconds before I hugged him back.

I gave a weak smile.

"What happened? You were kidnapped, right?" He asked.

I don't want to tell him everything, but I'll try.

"People...they took me and...me and my sister escaped." I said.

"Did they shave your head?" He asked.

"Yes."

"So, Eleven is your twin sister? But you look completely different..."

"Yes."

"I can't wait to tell the others!" Mike exclaimed.

"C-can I tell them, myself, soon?" I asked.

"Sure, um of course! We all missed you, especially Lucas, he still talks about you to this day." Mike said.

I missed them all too. I always talked about them, especially Lucas to eleven.

"Oh, yeah, sorry Eleven. I'm mike, short for Michael. Since Sev is short for seven, maybe we could call you el, short for eleven." Mike suggested.

Eleven nodded.

"Well, we can talk more tomorrow, when we tell the others, night el, night Sev."

"Night mike." Me and el said in sync. He then pulled Ive the blanket on the fort to hide us.

We soon drifted off to sleep, feeling overwhelmed from everything that has happened today.
