Chapter 7 ➵ Missed you

Will's Pov:

After the few hour plane ride, we landed in Indianapolis.

We were all really excited to see all of our friends again, after a month.

Mike was the only person I have had contact with since the move, so it's going to be more surprising when I see the others.

Funny because I was more excited to see Mike.

Hopefully he was excited to see me.

Well, obviously he would be excited to see me, but he would give Eleven the first hug.

First hug means a lot.

It pretty much means that you hugged that person first because you care more, or missed them more.

Haha, Mike will hug me first only in my dreams.

Anyways, we are now in the baggage claim, waiting for El's and Mom's suitcases.

EEEEEE this is so exciting.

"I can't wait to see my mikey!" El lets out a girly shriek.

"I bet you do.." I give her a sideways smile.

"Yep! Mikey and Max. Miss them more than anything." She smiles.

"What about Lucas and Dustin?"

"Well of course I miss them, but I REALLY miss Mike and Max." She explains.

"Ohhh makes sense." I laugh.

"Mhm."

-

El picks up her blue and purple suitcase and carries it with her to the place the cab will pick us up.

"I missed Mike and Max too." I say out of the blue.

"Huh? Cool." She says.

"Yep." I say.

The cab pulls up to pick us up and we all pack up our bags into the trunk.

"Yayyyy Im so excited, Im so excited, Im so excited!" El screams and punches the air.

"Calm down El-Eleanor.." I catch my mistake.

"Will." She gives me the look.

"Im sorry." I frown.

"Just be careful.." Jonathan whispers.

I look over El (who was sitting in the middle) and see my brother staring at me.

"I'm sorry.." I say again.

Jonathan sits back in his seat and sighs.

Im glad I caught myself there. If I hadn't, we could have been in some pretty deep shit right about now.

"Soooo.. Will." El trails off.

"What?"

"I'm bored. Wanna play Rock Paper Scissors?" She grins.

"Uhh sure." I say turning towards her.

"Rock, paper, scissors." I lay my hand flat out for paper.

Since she chose scissors, she pretended to cut my "paper".

"Congratulations." I chuckle.

"Rock, paper, scissors!"

I chose rock, which beats her scissors.

"C'mon Eleanor. Pick something else besides scissors." I say.

Oh, I forgot to mention.

Since we are in Hawkins, we have to call her Eleanor because none of the "bad men" would notice that.

They would notice El or Eleven or Jane (since Brenner knew that Jane is El's real name)

So we call her Eleanor when she here.

"Okay. Get ready. For me. To kick. Your butt." She giggles.

"Rock, Paper, scissors!"

I throw out my fist and see that she chose paper.

She places her hand ontop of the rock for a second, then takes it off.

"Good game little sis." I laugh.

"You too." She smiles.

I wrap my FRIENDLY arm around her shoulder and inhale a deep breath.

"I know you're a little scared, I am too, but everything is going to be okay. Okay?" I whisper.

She nods her head and leans her head on my shoulder.

"Thanks bro."

"No problem little sis."

-

Eventually we get to the Wheelers after 30 minutes of boring driving.

That's one thing I remembered about Indiana.

It. Is. So. Freaking. Boring!

There's literally nothing to look at besides trees and grass.

You'd be lucky to find one fun thing to do.

This place is hidden with monsters all over the place.

(No pun intended)

-

"Yay! We're here!" El lets out a girly shriek.

I slowly step out of the car.

Ready to be a third wheel!

Ugh.

I'm really not looking forward to watching El and Mike make out the ENTIRE time we are in town.

"Yay..." I trail off.

I study my surroundings.

Looks the exact same as it did a few months ago.

Which is funny, because usually put up orange or white lights around Fall time.

"Hey Will! Are you coming or what?" I hear El calling for me.

"Coming!" I say running over.

I step onto the small porch thing and knock on the door.

"I'm nervous." I admit.

"Don't be silly! This will be super fun." She smiles.

"Yeah. You're right." I nod.

Hopefully....
