DESPERATE PLEAS FILLED THE TENSE AIR as they looked at the ground with wide teary eyes, staring at the body that was about to hit the hard and cold ground.

The boy stumbled over, catching the person before they hit the ground. He sobbed, feeling his heart shatter as he held the person in his arms, watching the blood fall from their mouth and the life slowly drain from their eyes.

"It's okay..." their raspy voice echoed in his ears as tears ran down his face, and he screamed out and the group behind him watched with teary eyes not believing what was happening.

"You're okay! Stay with me! Please!"

A few days earlier...

Levi sat on his bed, back against the wall, knees arched as his sketchbook sat on his legs and the pencil in his hand quickly moved across the paper gracefully.

Every once in a while the boy would glance over his sketchbook to gaze towards Five who sat on his own bed reading two books at the same time, one about math and the other about science; and not the ones Levi learned from Nancy, no those equations were easy, the ones Five was reading about were more difficult and Levi didn't understand any of it.

So he just focused back on his drawing, not really knowing what was on the paper anymore, he wasn't really paying attention. He really couldn't when he heard the music blasting from El's room and her and Mike's laughing.

It made him slightly down when he heard Mike and El's giggling since he couldn't see Dustin because the boy was away at science camp.

Even if Dustin still called as much as he could which was one call a week, it made Levi sad that he couldn't see the boy, even when he loved listening to Dustin ramble about science things Levi didn't understand, or how Dustin met one of his new best friends named Suzie, who Levi liked by how Dustin described her.

Even with those Levi still missed Dustin, a lot, which was why he wasn't bothered as much with the giggling coming from the other side of the thin walls because Dustin was coming home tomorrow and with that thought his heart started beating quicker.

Levi snapped his head up as he heard the red phone on the table between the two beds ringed loudly, he knew it could be one of three people, he and Five glanced at each other before Levi through his drawing stuff to the side and flung himself to get the phone first while lying on his stomach.

"Hello!" Twelve squeaked into the phone as Five jumped and landed on Levi's back, straddling it as Levi tried to glance back to look at his friend.

"Whatcha doin?" A familiar voice rang out causing Levi's face to light up.

"Richie!"

After the whole upside-down thing, things had become somewhat normal. Max and Lucas had an on-again-off-again relationship, Mike and El got together, Dustin and Levi didn't put a label on it but knew they were together too, which surprised Hopper.
