'I had always seen myself as Michael Wheeler's best friend, but ever since Eleven came into the party's lives Mike has been obsessed with her. They're even dating now, which I almost hate, wait not almost I do hate it. It's honestly not her that I hate, it's just the love between them. Call me jealous if you must, because in all honesty I am jealous. Sometimes I wish that it was me holding his hand, not her. Maybe the only reason I'm jealous is because before her I was the one he was obsessed with. When I got out of the upside down he told me everything about her, and I thought it was cute, funny, and it was even ok! But ever since she came back, it's been her, it's been what she wants, everything has been about her! Mike used to ask me what I wanted, what I wanted to do, but now it's just her!'

Will sighed looking up from his notebook to the couch which El and Mike were sitting on in Mike's house.

'I can't really be mad at her, because it's not her fault that I'm jealous, nor is it Mike's. It's my own fault. I can't help it. It's hard to love someone so much and then watch them fall in love with someone else while you're just third wheeling. You're probably thinking, this kid is just a crazy jealous hot mess, but I promise I'm not trying to be. It's just so much has changed and I want to go back to the way things used to be. God, I wish that it was me talking to him like that. I wish we could go back to the way it used to be. Mike and I used to go kayaking at Lovers lake. We used to watch Avengers and Star Wars all the time. Now it's Mike and El doing everything and leaving me behind. We used to sit in fields and talk until the night fell but now it's just him and El doing it. I can't sit here any longer.

I'm done. . .'

"I'm going home El" Will went upstairs and left a note on Mike's bed before leaving. Will quietly walked home, "W-Will?"

Later El went home and Mike went to his room. He noticed the note, picked it up, and began reading.

'Dear Michael Wheeler,

For the last year since you and Eleven have been together I've been so jealous. It pains me to tell you this when you're so happy but; I love you. I've loved you since forever now but it's hard to say. Do you even know now how hard it is to love someone and then watch them fall in love with someone else while you're sitting here third wheeling? Sometimes I hate you loving her and I know I sound like a bad person but it's the truth. I'm sorry Mike, I really am so sorry but I'm in love with you and I can't change that so I'm done trying. I'm just done

Sincerely,

Will Byers'

Mike sighed softly, "Oh Will, I'm sorry" Mike's eyes began to fill with tears. Mike dropped the letter on his bed and ran out of the house and all the way to Will's house. Mike didn't care, he just threw the door open and ran to Will's room.

Mike knocked on the door, "Will! Please let me in!" Mike begged as he tried to open the door which was locked.

There was no movement behind the door, no sounds, no nothing.

Mike stopped for a moment before getting down and looking under the door. Mike saw nothing, there was no one in the room. He heard the water running in the bathroom and he walked over to it.

There was nothing behind the door.

Mike noticed that the door was barely open, "Hey, Will, I'm coming in, ok?" Mike heastited before opening the door and walking in. There Will was sitting down on the floor next to the bathtub with the water running. Blood occasionally dripped on the floor from the wound in Will's neck. A bloody knife laid in Will's now blood covered hand.

Mike stopped as tears flooded his eyes. He walked over to Will, dropping to his knees in front of Will, "W-Will?! Please, no!"

Mike pulled Will into a hug not caring about the blood staining his shirt. He knew everything was over, he had just lost his best friend.

'. . .Goodbye, Mike. . .'
