~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will's Pov
It was summer time
Meaning no school meaning I could do whatever I wanted
Jonathan wasn't home probably out with Nancy
Mom was gone probably at work
And Eleven was most likely with Mike
I still hated walking these hallways alone it gave me chills it reminded me of the day I changed the day everything changed
*The phone rings*
I began to hyperventilate with each ring it felt harder for me to breathe
Eventually I found the courage to pick up the phone
I felt like they were
Back like they were coming for me wherever I went and nobody would be able to save me
I picked up the the land line and twirled the cord in between my fingers gripping onto it tightly
"H-h-hello" I stuttered
"Hey Will it's Mike..."I didn't wanna have this conversation but I had no one else to talk to
"Uh hey..."
"I haven't seen you since the battle at starcourt and I know we haven't really talked since...I hope you know that I'm sorry"
"Yeah" I think he could tell I was upset over the phone
That moment kept replaying in my mind:
"It's not my fault you don't like girls"
"It's not my fault you don't like girls"
"It's not my fault you don't like girls"
Each time I thought about it hurt
I was angry not at him but at myself
Why couldn't I just be ""Normal""

"Will?" he said with concern
"Uh yeah sorry I zoned out"
I zoned out a lot more than probably anyone else
"Um well Lucas and Dustin are coming over do you wanna come hang out?"
"Sure what time?"
"Probably around 12:00"
"Ok I'll be there"

12:15

I made it to Mike's house
That day was the last time I'd been here
we were best friends once
I remembered those days but I think they were starting to fade from his memory
I walked up to the door and twisted the knob
I knew it'd be open
Mike turned the corner
"Hey Will everybody's downstairs I'll walk you down before I go get more snacks"
"Alright"
We walked down towards the basement
"Hey Will" they all said one after another
Three extra people were in the basement
Max,Suzie, and Eleven
I thought it was going to be just us I thought that it'd be like old times
But that's when I realized it'd never be like old times ever again...
