Will's POV

Monday, midnight

I'm fucked up. I'm stupid. So damn stupid... What have I done? Why have I done it? It sounded like a better idea when Troy threatened me in the woods. But... Now it's done. I can't talk to El, I can't see Mike, and obviously that includes the rest of the party... Great. Awesome... I'm really weak. I'm not strong enough to keep my friends safe.... Neither my own self. But... I'm protecting them... Right? That was the deal. El won't be in the lab, and Mike will be alright... It's not that bad. I just have to avoid them... For ever... I wanna die. Seriously. And tomorrow I was supposed to meet El to buy Mike's present! Shit... I'll have to fake a flu. But what with the rest of the days? I have to think about something. But for now, I'll better go to sleep and forget this has happened...

"Will? Will can you hear me?" I'm in this dark place again: El

"El? I can't see you. El?!"

"Will! Here!" I follow her voice as fast as I can, and when I find her, she vanishes like dust

"Eleven?! Where are you El?!"

"Oh you really thought it was that easy?" That fucking voice... I turn around and face the one who has put me into this shit, grabbing El by the arms, not letting her go

"Troy, let her go, I-I haven't said a thing! I promise!"

"Yeah but you saw him. Besides of what I told you. You saw that nerd"

"M-Mike?"

"Oh sure, Mike. And now, it's time"

"What?"

"Will?" Oh no, shit. I hear him behind me, and he's being hold by another Troy... I'm in the middle

"M-Mike..."

"What is this? What have you done?" he says, with a serious gaze stuck on me

"M-Mike I can explain, I swear. But you have to believe me okay?"

"Will!" I look at El, and the girl is with a tall old men, dressed up in a suit

"E-Eleven"

"Will don't let me go, he'll take me to the lab, don't let him Will! Don't let him!" Now she's crying out, and in the moment I try to help her-

"Will! Help! Ugh!" Mike groans in pain as I see Troy passing a knife through his neck

"TROY GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

"Try me zombie boy, c'mon. I'm right here" I don't know what to do... I hear the two of them calling me. Their voices resounding in my head. Fuck... What should I do? What should I do?!

"Troy... I'm with you... stop this... I'm... I'm with you. On your side. Please don't hurt anyone... Please"

"Huh, okay. I accept" Troy disappears, and so the man who was holding Eleven

"Thanks god you're fine!" I run to Mike and give him a hug, trying not to sob anymore, but Mike gets away from me as soon as he can

"You're a coward"

"Wh-What? No... It is not like that..."

"Oh, yeah it is." -El goes with Mike, and both of them try to corner me- "You're weak, Will. That's why you can't beat Troy up"

"Eleven I promise I would if I could but-"

"But what? It's better to form an alliance with the guy that bullied you for ages? Sounds really sensible, right El?"

"Yup, I agree, Mike. I wouldn't be able to see my friends again and that makes total sense to me"

"G-Guys...  Y-You don't understand..."
