Halloween was creeping around the corner. It kept coming closer and closer. But Will seemed more worried about something every day.

I couldn't let it go. Even though I already asked him like seven hundred times if something was wrong. But he always said:

'I don't want to make you worried about me again.' I just couldn't let go.

And Mike started about it too. We both knew something was wrong. And now you're probably wondering.

Where are Lucas and Dustin in this story? Well, they have been busy, with spying on Max. I think they wanted her in our party.

But Mike didn't seem so sure about her. And time flew by. Until the day of Halloween. The five of us decided to go as ghostbusters.

I wouldn't actually wear a costume because my mother was still gone. And with gone I mean like still not back home. She didn't die but I think she forgot about me. Not that I minded, she was a lazy b*tch anyway.

At school, we actually found out no one was wearing a costume except for us. Then I realized we screwed up again. We tried to blend in. But that didn't go as well as expected.

'Lucas!' Dustin came to see us.

He ran towards us and sat down between us. Mike was sitting on a chair right in front of me.

'What if we asked Max out for tonight with Halloween?' he asked.

'Great idea!' Lucas said.

'No, absolutely not!' Mike said.

'Why not?' I asked.

'Because she is too annoying,' Mike said.

'Well not to us,' I said.

'Come guys, let's go ask,' I said.

Me, Dustin and Lucas stood up and walked through the hall to Max her locker where surprisingly Max was putting away her stuff.

'Hi, Max, I'm Dustin and this are…' Dustin started.

'Lucas,' Lucas said.

'(y/n),'  I said.

'Yeah I know, the stalkers,' Max said.

'What, no I wasn't stalking you, they were,' I said.

'No, we were just concerned, cause you're new and all,' Dustin continued.

'Yeah for your safety,' Lucas said.

'Look there are a lot of bullies around here,' Dustin said.

'So many bullies,' Lucas said in the background.

'Is that why you're wearing proton-packs?' Max asked.

I stood there and was laughing my brain out of my head.

'Yes, but we were thinking about tonight, you're new here and you don't have any friends and you are scared of bullies so, we would like to ask you to come trick or treating with us,' Dustin explained.

'Really?' Max asked.

'Yeah, our party is a democracy, and the majority voted that you could come,' Dustin said.

'I didn't realize it was such an honor to go trick or treating with you,' Max said.

'Yeah, so you'll come?' Lucas asked. She closed her locker and walked away without answering the question.

'Why didn't she answer?' Dustin asked.

'Cause you were really stupid,' I said. Before they could answer I took them with me.

The night fell really fast. I still didn't have a costume. I decided to make a proton-pack too. When it was finished the doorbell rang. I put on my costume and opened the door. There stood Will.

'Are you coming?' He asked.

'Yeah,' I said. I grabbed the keys of the house and left with Will. We couldn't go with our bikes because no one could have carried the candy. We gathered at Mike's house as usual. Then we started trick or treating.

'Look at all our candy!' I said when I looked in our basket. It was almost filled and we had gone to like four houses.

Then out of nowhere, Michael Myers attacked us. I startled. Mike started screaming like a girl. But then Michael Myers took off his mask. It was Max.

'Holy shit you should have seen the look on your faces,' she laughed.

'And you, who screams like that?' She turned around.

'Come on, I know the best place to get candy!' Max, Lucas Dustin and Mike ran off. I wanted to follow but some bullies showed up and started mocking on Will.

'Stop it guys, it's not funny,' I said.

'Yes it is!' One of them laughed.

'No it's not okay!' I said. I punched one. Then suddenly I fell. Not literally but in my mind. I heard Eleven. She screamed. I heard glass breaking. I startled. But then suddenly I got angry. I was back in the real world. The bullies were against a brick wall. Blood was coming out of the back of their head. What happened?

I turned around. Will was gone! I started searching. I found Will in the garden of Mike's house. He hid from something. He was scared.

'Are you okay?' I asked.

'No,' he said and started crying. I didn't ask why. I put my arms around him. He cried in my arms. I gave him all the love I had. I think he felt safe in my arms.

Then Mike, Max, Dustin and Lucas showed up.

'Are you okay Will?' Mike asked.

'No, but please don't ask, he already has a hard time,' I answered. Max sat down.

'Well at least someone can care for one another,' she laughed while looking at the boys.

I liked Max as a friend. She was kind and could protect us from bullies or something. But she wasn't connected as long as she didn't know the story of last year. Will finally stopped crying.

'You okay,' I asked.

'I guess,' he smiled but still scared. We stood up and then continued our trick or treat round.

When we finished we gathered again at Mike's house. We shared the candy. And then it was time to go home.

I decided to walk Will home. He needed a friend after what happened tonight. And when Will was home I went home, ran upstairs to my room and went to bed.
