When Hopper got to your house, he put on the lights to make sure someone came out to carry you in. Jonathan came out first and approached him. "I have your sister. She's in the car. She had a rough day." Hopper explained. Jonathan did nothing but nod and went towards the truck. He saw your sleeping body and picked you up carefully and into the house. He took you to your room and layed you down on your bed. 

You woke up an hour or two later to the sound of your mother's voice. She sounded like she was talking to someone. You wiped your eyes, which were crusty from dry tears and got up. Your legs were sore from all the walking, but you managed. You exited your room and towards the sound of voices. 
"-Mom, come on, please." came Jonathan's voice.  "You've gotta stop this."
"No, maybe he's-"
"It's after him!" your mother explained. You peeked your head from around the corner to listen. She was talking to Hopper. "He's in danger. We have to find him! We--"
"What exactly was this thing?  It was some kind of animal, you said?" Hopper asked. 
"Uh, no, it was...It was almost... human,but it wasn't. It... It had these long arms and...it didn't have a face." your mother explained. Jonathan walked away crying and when he turned the corner, he saw you. "you shouldn't be up right now." he sniffled. "Go back to bed."
"But, mom-" you say, trying to go to her, but Jonathan held you back. "Mom isn't well right now. Just, please...go back to bed."
You looked into his brown eyes and saw how hurt they were. You nodded and hugged him tightly. You started to softly cry in his arms. He picked you up again and carried you back into your room. He tucked you under your covers and gave you a hug. "I never got to say g-goodbye." you sniffled. "Neither did I." Jonathan replied. "But, it's been a year since I've seen him. This is different," you say, dropping your head. "I know," was all Jonathan could bring himself to say before getting up and walking back into his room. 

You closed your eyes and tried to get some sleep....

You were surrounded in darkness. You couldn't see even a speck of light. Was this a dream? Or something else?...

"Should I stay or should I go now. If I go there will be trouble. But, if I stay there will be double." a voice sang softly. 
"Will, is that you? It's Mike! Do you copy? Over." came another voice. "Will? Mike?" you asked yourself. "Will? Will! WILL!" you screamed.

"-Y/N."
"-Aah!" you burst awake with a hard gasp. You were face to face with Jonathan. "Hey, hey, hey. You okay?" he asked. "Bad dream." you reply. "Come on. Get up. We're gonna see Will." 
"What?" you asked. "For an autopsy."
"Oh..." was all you could bring yourself to say. "Will I get to say goodbye?" you asked. "Yes." Jonathan replied briskly. "Okay." you reply. "Take a shower, get dressed. Then we'll go, okay?" 
You nodded to him. He left your room and closed the door. You striped from your clothes and put on a bath robe. You took out some clean clothes and went to the bathroom.

You haven't showered for days and the hot water felt good on your body. Once you soaped, rinsed off, and dried, you put on your clothes which consisted of a f/c flannel and jeans. You brushed out your hair but kept it down. 

When you came out of the bathroom, you heard something from Will's room. With caution you started to walk towards his room. You opened his door and saw a walkie talkie. "Y/N, do you copy?" came a voice. It sounded like Dustin. You went to the walkie talkie and grabbed it. "Dustin?" you asked. "Y/N, do you copy? Over."
You pressed down on the side button and spoke into it. "This is Y/N." you reply. "Can you come to Mike's house? It's urgent. It's about Will."
Your eyes squinted with curiosity. "What do you mean?" you asked. "I don't know. Mike just said to come and bring you. Lucas is coming too. Can we pick you up? Over."
"I-I don't know. Jonathan said that we were gonna see Will. For an autopsy." you say. "Oh. Well, if you can't-"
"-I never said I couldn't." You say, cutting Dustin off. "Be here ASAP. I'll talk to them."
you say into the walkie. "Okay. See you in a bit. Over and out." Dustin said.
