Confusion. That's what all the parents were feeling on that night. They had no idea what journey their kids went for them to get their friend back. For the kids, everything was a blur that night. They remember screaming and running all around the school. They remember the 'bad men', the demegorgen, and her. The one who saved them all from death. Though it was a crazy night, it was one they hope they'd never forget. They new they weren't ever going to forget. Lucas and Dustin were so baffled and bewildered. But, Mike was hurt.
He felt a pain in his chest that grew every time he thought about the girl he loved. Crying was the only thing that helped so, he did. He cried and cried until he made himself sick. Nancy had also lost someone she loved and cared about. Her best friend was dead and she knew it was all her fault. She just hated knowing that she would never see her best friend again and it was all of her fault.
The Byers family on the other hand were not feeling great but, relieved. Joyce could finally breathe now that her son was back home. She had missed hugging here and messing with his hair. The week without him had felt like hell. Jonathon was happy to have his brother home. He was glad that his mom wouldn't go insane everyday because of his absence. He was excited to continue to show his brother new things. Music, movies, book, and more. Will was happy to be home. He had felt so cold in the Upside Down but at home, he was warm.
Will, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Nancy, and Jonathan got school off for 2 months. Mike and Nancy becoming closer, but also giving each other space to mourn the loss of there loved ones. Mike had gotten sick most of the time with colds, the flu, and stomach aches. Everything was just so messed up in his body and his mind. One day he was so sick he had thrown up about 5 times. Nancy was mostly sad and also became very curious. Since everything happened, Nancy had become more interested in Science. She would go to the library and check out books. She would read them when she was home alone or watching her brother.
