You should have opened your eyes

« So what do you think about?

-Well it's not their habit to skip school so I think something serious is going on ... said Joyce worried

-No but I'm not talking to you about that .. I'm talking to you about Will and Mike!

-What?! What happened to Will?

-Will and Mike were kissing in my basement ..

-Oh? Really? said Joyce laughing slightly

-Do you find it funny? Your boy is shoveling my son and are you kidding? Said Karen pissed off

- They're almost teenagers, I don't see the bad in all this ...

-These are two boys, that means they are gay. Mike loved Eleven but because of your son, it became a fag.

-I forbid you to blame my son, and if you opened your eyes a little, you would have seen how close Will and Mike are. Question yourself a bit and get out of my car now. I'm going to find Will and Jonathan myself and tell your kids to go back to school.

-well. »

Joyce stopped her car, let Karen down, then drove off.
She continued to drive around the college to find them.
After about ten minutes, she saw Mike, Will, Jonathan and Nancy.
She parked a few meters from them and walked to join them.
Mike was still in Will's arms, Nancy and Jonathan were talking a little further.
She arrived at the two boys:

« Are you okay? You are fine? Why did you leave school?

-Mo- mom? Said Will scared, he let go of Mike right away

-It's good Mike's mother told me about it and I don't hold it against you .. Said Joyce giving them a big smile

-She ... she told you what? Asked Mike panicked

-Oh ... the basement ... and what happened in it ..

-Oh okay ... Mike tried to smile at her

-I think you should go back to school ..

-No mom please, just today ... Mike's mom was really ... mean to him and-
Mike cut him off

-And she doesn't want me to see Will anymore ... I ... please ... just leave us today, Nancy will tell her that we're all going back to class ... he said with a trembling voice

-You can't lie to your mother like that, I wouldn't have liked her to lie to me about this stuff, so I'm not going to do that to her .. If you want to stay here a little longer but after you go back to school.

-But... »

Meanwhile Nancy and Jonathan were still talking:

« You really shouldn't have told your mom ... anyway, what did you get out of it? Nothing. Except for Mike of course who was raped.

-I don't know either ... I feel super guilty ... and in addition I did the same thing, except that he was not there to tell my mother ..

-Wait what?

-Barbara and me ... sometimes when I slept at her place we slept together but I didn't really have feelings for her, it was just for fun ... but I think that she wanted more ... Nancy was trying to keep herself from crying

-Oh Nancy ... I really don't know what to say to you because what you did was how to say ... a whore.
But on the other hand, you couldn't know that your mother would react like that.

Nancy started to cry

-Mike is no longer safe with us ... my mother can start again at any time ... I'm really afraid for him ..

-Stay with him in his room all the time until you're sure your mom is sleeping. Or ask your father? Maybe he will do something?

-Nan but did you see my father? I'm pretty sure even a vegetable would be more effective ...

-It's clear .. and Hopper? He's the chief of police, and it seems to me that rape on a minor is a crime, isn't it?

-Yes and he is also the adoptive father of Eleven, and Eleven is not yet aware of what happened.

-Wah ... it's shit ... You don't want us to go back to Will and ... wait, why is my mother here?

-Hmm I do not know...

They walked over to Joyce and the boys

-Mom? What are you doing here?

-I got a call from your school ... then with Karen we went to get you but, her thought process makes me desperate, so I left her on the sidewalk. She said with a sneer

-You did well Mrs. Byers ... Nancy smiled embarrassed and turned to Mike:
Can I talk to you Mike?

-No .. leave me, I have nothing to say to you ...

-Mike ..? Are you bleeding ..? Asked Joyce
