Hi guys! So this is my first FanFiction so it's most likely going to be cringey but I hope you enjoy it and I will try to post as often as I can! ️️️

People don't say anything about it. In public at least. They know what happened in the fall of 1983 and they know that their small town of Hawkins will never be the same. They don't bother to tell newcomers what happened.. they're to scared too. They don't talk about the Byers boy and how he's more quite. They don't talk about Hawkins lab mysteriously shutting down. And they certainly don't talk about how distant the Wheeler boy is.They don't talk but they notice.

1984 part one

It's been a year since the events of the fall of 1983. Mike lays awake in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He glances at his clock and it reads 3:15am. He frowns.

The world is mocking me. He thinks.

Everywhere I look and everything I do I see her..

He rubs his eyes and reaches for his walkie talkie. He calls Lucas.

"Lucas, are you awake? Over."

No response.

"Lucas. You there?"

Static.

"Huh- Wha.. Mike it's 3 in the morning." A groggy Lucas mutters.

"Sorry, I just-" Mike stops, he tries to swallow the lump in his throat.

"You thinking of her again?" Lucas asks quietly. Mike would call him when he couldn't sleep.

"Yea.. do you ever wonder what happened?"

"Mhmm"

"She couldn't have just disappeared completely right? I mean she could've-"

"Mike." Lucas stopped him.

"Look, we don't know what happened and I'm not gonna tell you that she's gone because I don't know that. I've learned not to say things that I don't know are completely true. But I do know that it's been a year. An entire year and nothing has happened. Doesn't that say something?" Lucas asked.

Mike looked at the ceiling and let out a sigh.

"Yea... I guess. Thanks Lucas, over and out"

"Anytime, over and out."

Mike put the walkie talkie back on his nightstand. What Lucas said circled in his mind. He didn't want to believe she was gone. He didn't want to think about if she was alone. He just wanted her to be happy. She deserves all the happiness in the world. He lay back down and closed his eyes.

"Mike! Time to get up!" Karen wheeler called up the stairs.

Mike rolled over and yawned. His clock read 7:00am. He groaned and wiped the tiredness from his eyes. He quickly got ready and went down stairs.

"Morning!" His mom said as he walked in. She was making pancakes with baby Holly on her hip. Holly laughed as Karen put whipped cream on her nose.

Ted wheeler was fidgeting with the TV antenna.

"What are you doing dad?" Mike asked as he sat at the table with his pancakes.

"TV started sparking and showing static and I want to watch the news." He said grumpily as he moved the antennas around.

"Time for school lets go!" Karen ushered her kids out of the door. Mike got onto his bike.

"Have a good day!" Karen called as he biked away.

Mike was lost in thought as Lucas and Dustin appeared next to him.

"Hey mike!" Dustin said, giving him a smile.

"Oh, hey guys." Mike said, looking a little startled.

"Looks like you're in your only little world, Wheeler." Lucas said as they pulled up to the school.

"Uh. I didn't get much sleep last night." Mike said as he locked his bike at the bike rack.

"Well if it isn't my favorite nerds." A voice came from behind them.

"Max!" Dustin said, he greeted her with their signature hand shake.

"Good to see you guys, wheres Will?" She asked as they started going into the school.

"Oh he's having one of his episodes." Lucas said, frowning.

"Ah, I see. You guys ever figure out what's wrong with him? I mean you could've found something over thanksgiving break right?" Max asked.

"Nothing. We researched so much my brain is practically fried. All we know is that it's not good." Mike said, rubbing his face.

"Hm, how about we talk about this later? At Mikes?" Dustin suggested.

The others agreed and hurried off to class.

It's cold. She's never been this cold before and she hates it. She missed the warmth of her world. She missed the food and she missed her friends. Especially Mike. She wanted to hold his hand and eat eggos. She lay in the fort he made her. The blanket was draped over the entrance, her only protection.

"Mike.." she cried softly, tears falling down her face.

"Mike. Mike. Help!" She cries louder, clapping a hand over her mouth after realising how loud she had yelled.

She knew that there was something else out there. She was scared and alone. She cried harder. She hates the dark. She just wanted to go home.

That was part one of 1984! I hope you liked it and I'm going to have every chapter be a part of a year. More to come, I have so many ideas! ️
