Regrets

« Uh ... Jo- Jonathan?

- Oh well, I have a few things to tell you Nancy.

-Emm yes me too but I think what I have to say to you is much more important ...

- go ahead I listen to you
Jonathan was slightly pissed off

-Yesterday ... my- my mother was arguing Mike because of what happened with Will and ...
Nancy's voice started to shake and her eyes started to fill with tears

-Wait, what happened? Jonathan was really worried

-I- I- I went into my brother's room because I heard him begging my mother to stop ... it was it was ... it was really ... ho-horri-
Nancy started to cry, trying not to make any noise, she wiped her cheek, then went on:

My mother was in the process of .. she ... put her deodorant in ... in ... finally you understand ... And it's all my fault! I was the one who went to tell my mother ... I ... I don't know what to do ... I'm afraid she'll do other things like that to Mike ...!

-WHAT? SHE RAPE MIKE ?? But you have to tell the police it's his mother! And Mike tried to talk to you about it ???

Jonathan was completely panicked, he felt bad for Mike, but he was afraid for Will, because if she was able to do this to her own son, would she be able to do worse to other people's children ...

-No ... I don't think he wants to talk about it ... my father isn't even aware yet!
And even the police didn't care! Everyone is homophobic here you know!

-Yes ... you for example!

-Uh .. no I ... I'm not, I'm just doing what my parents always taught me ... they always told me that gays, lesbians and everything are just people against -nature and disgusting but otherwise me ... I don't care ...

-Duh it is time that you learn to think for yourself!
Jonathan got up to leave the room

-M.BYERS CAN I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING? Asked his teacher

-I will settle something! »

Nancy also got up and followed him.
They went to their little brothers' class and lied to the teachers saying that their mothers had called.
Will and Mike were not at all calm and wondering what is going on.
So Will asked Mike, whispering:
« Do you know what's going on ???

-No I don't know at all but I'm afraid ... imagine it's because of yesterday ?? You told me that your brother didn't mind!

-Yes Jonathan is not against! But maybe Nancy told him anything so he couldn't agree with me anymore!

-It's possible ... it's a plague! »

They had been walking for 10 minutes, Nancy offered to sit on a kind of picnic table.
Jonathan began to speak:

« Nancy explain to me what happened last night with your mother Mike ...

-I ... you told me that you stayed in your room all evening .. What happened ??? Will was quite stressed because he had already noticed that Mike was really not well

- WHY DID YOU SAY IT ?! PLUS IT'S YOUR FAULT! DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT I WANT TO SHOUT THIS ON ALL ROOFS? YOU SHOULD JUST HAVE THOUGHT BEFORE TALKING NANCY! "

Mike started to cry and scream with all his might, he was trying to run, but he could only take a few steps, he was in too much pain.
Nancy started to cry too, because she knew it, she should have kept quiet.
Jonathan went to get Mike, and carried him to the bench.
And he didn't let go, he held it tight, Mike felt weak and didn't want Will to find out.

"Fuck but explain to me! What happened with your mother Mike ???
Will started to cry too, because he couldn't stand to see Mike suffer so much, and he felt guilty because it was all because of him.

-Mme Wheeler to rape Mike. Because apparently she can't stand the fact that her son loves a boy ...

-What? But ... Mike ... I - I - I'm really sorry ... it's my fault! Will was shaking when he heard that.

-No ... it's mine I just shouldn't have told my mom ... but I didn't think she was capable of doing that ... I just wanted him to fight ... but not to this extent ... »
Nancy was trying to reassure Will.
Mike did not even answer, he pretended not to hear ... he did not want to hear this word: "rape".
Will went to hug Mike repeating that he was sorry.
The school called the parents to report that their children had left school.
Panicked Joyce and Karen met to go and try to find them.
As Joyce had worked all evening, she was unaware of Will and Mike.
Karen was not going to be shy to tell her:
