(So some juicy shit's gonna happen this chapter, so pay attention 😏)
-Next day-
I got up early, still shaken up about last night.
It was around 9:00 AM. But right now, did I care? No.
And it's early for me and my family, okay? I'm a teenager, what do you expect?
Because of everything that just happened last night, I need to get my mind off of something.
Practicing. Sattler's quarry.
That's where I should go.
And yes, I do still practice there. Daily, if possible.
But I can't find anything else to work with at the quarry right now...
I sneaked into the laundry room, and stole some of the lint from the lint trap thingy.
It's flammable.
(I learned that at camp several years ago, okay)
I grabbed a plastic bag and stuffed as much lint in it as I possibly could.
Then, I left a note on my bed for my parents to find.
Went to the quarry. I'll be back by 10.
Would 1 hour be enough? I mean, I hope. Maybe I'll be back by 9:30, who knows?
When I finally got there, which was only a few minutes later, it seemed quiet and peaceful.
I'll just have to make do with the lint that I have with me right now.

-Mike's POV-
Oh, shit.
What am I supposed to tell El?
Hopper threatened me! To stay away from her!
What am I supposed to do at all?
My heart was thumping, trying to figure out what to do.
Would I have to lie? And if so, about Nana?
I was down in the basement when my mom called my name.
"MIKE!!! PHONE!!!"
"OKAY!" I yelled back.
Oh, shit. Was it El?
I nervously walked to the phone.
I then answered without hesitation.
"Hello?" I'm about to die. And if not now, El will.
I heard a sigh. "It's 9:32. Where are you?" She asked, impatiently.
Ugh, I don't know if I can do this!
But Hopper... he'll force me to stop seeing her.
"Sorry, I-- I was just about to call," I stammered. "I, um... can't see you today."
Ugh, those words hurt deep.
"What-- why not?" She asked.
"It's my Nana. She's VERY sick,"
I felt so bad lying, I swear. I mean, El was my girlfriend, what am I supposed to do?
"But-- Hop said that your Nana was okay, that it was a false alarm," She said, as I mouthed t myself, shit!!
"Yeah," I said. "That's... what... we thought it was at first, but then she took a real turn for the worse."
"Oh," She said, dully, and confused.
