Eleven screams and sobs, still laying down on the floor but only holding my hand. Mike doesn't seem annoyed about it, more scared that she is in pain. Everyone sits there not knowing what to do as she wails in pain, gripping my hand tightly and squeezing it hard.

"What is that?" Erica asks.

"There's something in there." Mike states.

"In her leg?" My eyebrows raise.

"No!" She wails.

"Jesus Christ." Dustin gasps. Her leg looks red, disgusting with the thing inside it.

"Keep her talking. Keep her awake, okay?" Jonathan orders getting up. I watch as Jonathan runs off as she continues to cry and wail.

"Hey, hey, hey. Stay awake, stay awake. Let's get her on this side, on this side." Mike hushes.

"Easy, easy, easy, easy."

We lift her up and move her around to try and help her.

"It's, uh..." Robin says, trying to make things easier. "You know, it's not actually that bad. There was a...The goalie on my soccer team, Beth Wildfire, this other girl slid into her leg, and the whole bone came out of her knee, six inches or something. It was insane."

Not the same...

"Robin." I speak up.

"Yeah?"

"You're not helping." Steve says.

"I'm sorry." She stammers.

Jonathan instantly runs back as El continues to grunt and whimper. "Okay. All right. El? This is gonna hurt like hell, okay?"

"Okay." She sobs.

"Need you to stay real still." He puts a rubber glove on and that's when I see a burning knife next to him.

"Here, you're gonna want to bite down on this, okay?"

"Jesus Christ." Dustin mutters as she hands Mike a wooden spoon which El chomps down on.

Eleven continues to whimper as he has the knife near her leg. Everyone sits in silence seeing the blade in his hand.

"Do it." Mike and I say at the same time.

"Okay." Jonathan hesitates.

Jonathan cuts the blade into her leg which El begins to raise her voice in pain. She screams, squeezing my and now Mike's hand again. Everyone watches shocked as she continues to scream and wail in pain as her leg bleeds.

Jonathan seems so disgusted to do this and Nancy seems sick. I look away from it and right down to El. Mike does the same. I glance up at him, and he glances at me. We both care about El. He nods, I nod as well.

We allow her to squeeze our hands as much as she wants through her pain as Jonathan cuts nto her leg.

El screams and sobs, Jonathan drops the knife to the side. Jonathan shuts his eyes, before lowering his hand to her leg.

Eleven screeches in pain and Mike and I gasp in shock as Jonathan puts his fingers into her wounded leg. Everyone seems so displeased with this, especially Will and Jonathan.

Eleven whimpers, rising her body a little bit, hands shaking.

"Jonathan!" Nancy snaps.

"Stop talking!" He snaps back. He quickly moves his hand in her leg which hurts her even more.

"Goddamn it!"

"No! Stop it!"

We look down to El.
