1984 part 10
Flashback
It was a week after El had dissapeared. The boys were over at Mike's house for a campaign and Lucas and Dustin had just left. Mike was alone in his basement. He sat in front of the fort he made her, holding his supercom. His throat was tight and he was looking at the ceiling, trying not to cry as Will was still there. He had gone up to get some snacks since he was spending the night. Mike turned around as he heard Will coming back down the stairs.
"Okay so I got Pringles and coke." Will said, laying the snacks on the table.
Mike smiled at him, trying to shake off his sadness. Whenever he was alone, even if it was for a minute, she would immediately make her way into his mind.
"Hey, you okay?" Will asked, kneeling next to mike.
Mike gave a small nod but when he glanced at the fort again he lost it. Tears fell down his face and he threw the supercom at the fort, causing the blanket to fall.
"It's not fair!" Mike yelled, covering his face with his hands.
"What.. what's not?" Will asked, although he felt as though he already knew the answer.
"What happened to her. All she did was help us... and then she just... she's gone and.." mike trailed off, wiping his eyes.
"Hey, it's okay. Just.. talk to me." Will sat down across from Mike.
"What the lab did.. it was so wrong and she didn't deserve this. She just.. she helped people she barely knew because... they didn't treat her like an animal. We... I should have helped her more.." Mike whispered, pulling his knees to his chest.
"Mike, I know that you liked Eleven. A lot. And she does sound like a great person.. but you can't keep pulling yourself down because of what happened. You're right, You guys treated her like a person, a human being and that probably meant the world to her. You did help her, a lot. And if she's as strong as you say she is, there's a chance that she's still out there. But... sometimes... you just have to move on. We can move on but we'll never forget her. She doesn't deserve to be forgotten." Will said, holding on to Mikes shoulders.
Mike looked up at him and smiled, "How the hell can you not even know someone but still make an incredible speech about her?" He asked, lightly laughing.
Will shrugged.
The two stood up to get the snacks and start a movie but Will suddenly dropped the chips and rushed over to the bathroom.
"Will?" Mike asked, running after him.
He opened the door and fell back in horror.
Will puked up a large, green slug that fell down the drain. Will stumbled back and fell against the wall, breathing heavily and looking around wildly.
"What. The hell. Was that?" Mike asked.
Will finally focused and took a deep breath, his face pale.
"Uhh.. those- those have been coming up- since I got... back." He explained between breaths.
Mike stared at Will in shock.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I thought it would go away but it didn't and then I didn't want people to worry or-"
"Will, this is serious. Whatever happened to you down there... it's still effecting you." Mike said as he helped Will up.
"Please don't tell my mom or anybody, please. I don't want to cause anything, again." Will begged.
"Wha- no- No, Will. We have to tell your mom and our friends because.. this obviously isn't going away and if we wait.. it could get worse and then people will find out but it might be to late then. You need help, Will." Mike said.
Will looked scared and ran his hands through his hair. He paced around the room for a bit, processing what Mike said.
"Okay... okay you're right. Ok.." Will agreed.
"Thank you." Mike sighed.
"So um, can we get back to the movie?" Will asked, trying to lighten up their small party.
Mike grinned, "Yeah."
WhooooOoo okay so that's how they found out about Will and there's going to be more flashbacks so stay tuned!! Bye!
