Mike sat down at lunch waiting for El to join him. As he sat looking around for her he also noticed that Troy and his gang also wasn't in the lunchroom. Mike had always thought the worst, but Eleven had told him to stop worrying so much so he let that horrible thought pass.

He started getting worried after almost half their lunch had gone by and she still wasn't there.

"Do you want to go look for her Mike?" Dustin asked also concerned.

"Yeah, do you guys want to help me?" He gestured to the party. They nodded.

They split up into pairs of two, Max stayed in the lunch room and waited for her. Two looking in the building, two looking around the building. Mike wanted to check around the building with Lucas.

Mike and Lucas had approached the side of the building where the gym door led outside to the small ally.

" Holy shit!" Lucas shouted and pointed. Mike followed the point to find El laying passed out on the ground. Blood. All. Over.

"El!" My God Mike was terrified. He ran up to her and knelt down.

" Lucas go tell Max, Dustin, and Will to get over here now." He said calmly. Lucas was already halfway there.

" Oh El. Oh my God." He gasped really noticing why she was bleeding so much. She had a slash atleast 3 inches long starting at her elbow, a broken bloody nose, and a almost-deep-enough-to-kill-you cut right around her tattoo.

" Who could have done this to you? I don't know anyone who could-" He stopped realizing who it might have been.

" Troy. God that son of a bitch is gonna pay." Mike mutterd. But Eleven herd him.

" Mike." She breathed and let out a cry of pain.

"El! Oh My God. We are going to get you help, just hold on." Just then the party came running over. El was sobbing.

"M-my arms." She cried.

" She needs medical attention! Now! Hurry!" They picked her up and hurried her to the nurses office.

" Good God, what happened?!" She almost yelled as she frantically grabbed the phone to dial 911.

" We don't know." Will said, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at her arms.

When the ambulance arrived they claimed that the kids would have to stay at school.

They really wanted to come and support Eleven but understood that the could go visit her right after school.

4 hours later after school, Mike, Max, Dustin, Lucas, and Will found themselves beside Eleven in her hospital bed.

El let out a small groan and opened her eyes. Everyone gasped in relief.

" I'm guessing you guys want to know what happened?" She said lifting her arms in the air wincing slightly.

" Yeah." They all said synchronized.
