Chapter 9

(Quickly edited)

I blink my eyes open slowly, a blurred vision melting into a somewhat clear one. An unknown pressure on my right index finger drags my arm down slightly. I reach up slowly with my other hand and place my palm on my temple and rub it slightly in attempt to reduce the pain.

A few minutes pass and I find the strength to look around. I tilt my neck up and in front of me, bringing my right hand towards my face. The unfamiliar pressure is a pulse oximeter. I rest my hand back down slowly and painfully and look around. A blue and white spotted hospital gown drapes over my body and buzzing machines surround me in an unfamiliar room. A door clicks and opens up, making me jump. My expression stays blank, I just stare deeply at the woman who had just entered the room. Short, white and overweight , maybe about 20 years of age from what I can tell through my still slightly blurry eyes.

"Miss L/N. It's nice to see you finally awake." The woman's quite obnoxious actually, her accent maybe of the Texan kind?

"Wh-where am I?" I manage to stutter out softly. "What hap-happened?"

"You are at Hawkins General Hospital, I'm your nurse - Olivia Marsh. You were admitted here last night after fainting." I slowly nod. How did I even get here? What made me faint?

"How long was I out?" I ask in a whisper, not really wanting to know the answer.

"Almost 24 hours, Miss. Aproximately 23 hours and 14 minutes. It may be longer as it wasnt recorded how long you were unconscious before admition" I widen my eyes in shock while tempting to sit up. I lower myself down again after a strike of pain rages through my body, I wince at the feeling. "Would you like to takes guests?" I nod slightly.

Olivia stumbles out of the room, carefully shutting the door behind her with a click. Not even two seconds later, the door bursts open with a loud bang and running footsteps approach my side.

"Y/N!" I hear a voice yell. I instantly smile and sit up, its as if all my pain had magically gone at the sound of this persons voice.

"Will!" I whisper-shout back. He engulfs me in a careful hug, making sure not to hurt me. I giggle at how gentle he is.

He eventually pulls away and I scoot over on the bed to give him space to sit beside me.

"Will." I look forward at the medical posters in front of me as it pains me to turn my head at all. He hums to say go on. "What happened last night?"

"You fainted." Will says with a sigh.

"Yeah, I know that. But why? What made me faint? How did I get here?" I hear Will shakily exhale.

"We were at the sauna, doing the sauna test on Billy. It was your idea, remember?" I nod slightly, only a few bits and pieces are put together like a puzzle in my brain. "Then, once it was over and Billy had run away we began to leave but then I realised that you weren't with us. I told the party but they just kept walking, so I went back in to find you blacked out. I carried you out and back to my house where Joyce took you here." A few more puzzle pieces are put into place, yet some gaps are left. It still doesn't make sense why I fainted. My heart melts though at the though of Will being kind enough as to take me home, even passed out.

"Thank you Will." My voice breaking a bit.

"Y/N!" I shoot my head towards the door where Joshua had just run in. He bounds over to me and hugs me tighter then ever before, hurting me in the process but oh well I guess. "You're okay!" I laugh at my big brother.

"I'm fine Joshy." I let go of my brother and go silent. I don't move, the same feeling from last night washes over me -nothing.

"Are you okay? Y/N? You there? Y/N!" Josh and Will both shout over my zoned put body. I snap back into reality.

"Thai." I whisper.

"What?" Joshua and Will say in unison.

"I want Thai food." My voice still a whisper. The two boys look at me confused. "Now!" I almost shout in an extremely sassy tone, didn't know I had it in me to be fair. They both turn to each other terrified and aggressively nod. They dart off and out of the room.

----

The car pulls up at the Byers' house and Will and I run inside with the bags of Thai food, immediately separating the meals onto each plate and setting the table. Will and I obvioualy gave ourselves the most. Before i settle at the dinner table, I take some Excederin with some water (because when you got a head ache this big [----------], it's got Excedrin written all over it).

I sit next to Will and Joshua at the table and get stuck into the delicious Thai food in front of me, occasionally stealing from Josh and Jonathan to annoy them.

After dinner, I wash my plate and follow Will to his room where he puts on a mixtape Jonathan had made for him.

Should I Stay or Should I Go begins playing, we both get up and start dancing to the music, screaming the lyrics as loud as we can.

By the end of the song, we both collapse on the Will's bed in a fit of laughter. It dies down after a minute or two and I turn towards Will, giggling still.

"I love you Will." I stop giggling as soon as I realise what words had come out of my mouth. Holy shit fuck shitshitshitshit. I Go red from embarrassment.

"I love you too Y/N." He whispers as he sits up. I do the same. We face each other, knee to knee. I blush madly and look at my feet.

A cold finger pushes my head upward from my chin, another hand on the side of my neck with the thumb on my cheekbone. I lock eyes with the boy in front of me, he's perfect. The blush on my cheeks is probably going mad crazy. He starts leaning closer to me, inching in little by little as a song by The Police booms through the casett player. I begin leaning in too, I close my eyes and continue, and soon enough...

A pair of soft lips connect with mine. About a million sparks fly in my stomach as the slow and soft kiss continues. I reach my hand up and push Will's hair out of his face and drag my hand to his shoulder. The kiss lasts a little longer before we slowly and reluctantly pull away from each other. We both smile like crazy at each other. Our faces both crimson red and burning up.

"That one's getting framed!" Jonathan shouts attracting Will and I's attention. He holds his camera up for us to see before running away. Will chases after him and I can't help but smile.

"That was really cute. It's beautiful to see you both so grown up." A voice speaks softly from the doorway. Joyce stands there, wiping a tear from her cheek. I get up off the bed and hug her happily before heading of to bed.

It took ages for me to get to sleep, my mind only thinking about the kiss i shared with Will today and the ones we will hopefully share in the future.

I love him.

(A/N)- Well well well, you and Will hey (; That's cuteeee. This chapter is kind of fast paced, but we all needed this don't lie :)

Lotta love <3
