Everyone slept at Mike's cause of the craziness that was going on. The next morning we had to go back to school. Our break was over.

But I decided that I couldn't go back to school. They would understand it. But before Mike was going to school he took me apart from Eleven, Lucas and Dustin.

'Hey, look, I am so sorry from yesterday, I get it, know that you can always talk to me,' Mike said.

It made me cry again. I put my arms around his waist and cried on his shoulder again. He put his hand on my head.

Dustin and Lucas saw us. They didn't try to interrupt us. I would have been crying for days if Mike wasn't supposed to go to school.

Mike, Dustin and Lucas biked to school while I stayed at Mike's to watch on Eleven.

She was back in her chair. It was nice to finally see her comfortable after two days ago.

I walked to the living room and sat on the couch. There I grabbed the remote and changed the channel. Eleven startled from it.

Then she saw me using the remote on the television. She looked at the television. And then it happened again.

Suddenly the channel swapped. But I didn't touch the remote. I started to think that Eleven maybe has psychic abilities.

That is how she closed the door or swapped the channel. There was only one way to find out. When Eleven was focused on her show I switched the channels of the television. Then I threw away the remote. Eleven looked mad and then again the channel swapped back to where it was before.

'Magic is real?' I asked.

Eleven looked at me questioning everything. Well of course magic exists cause why would Will otherwise throw a missed fireball in the game and then disappear that same night.

Then I realized what I just thought. Will the Wise getting killed by the Demogorgon. Will being the smartest of the whole group.

Eleven using the Demogorgon to explain where Will is. Will is captured by the Demogorgon but got away. I tried to think about where Will could be. Then I realized it.

Will wasn't h… The doorbell rang suddenly out of nowhere. I looked at the clock and saw it was 3:15. That was the time when we would meet to go and find Will.

I totally forgot what I was thinking about. I took Eleven outside, grabbed my bike and the five of us biked our way to Mirkwood where Eleven would lead us to Will.

And Eleven led us to the train tracks. We had to put our bikes away because of the pebbles. We would never be able to bike over them. So we started walking.

We were like walking for two hours straight. No one said anything. I felt the group falling apart slowly since Will disappeared.

It was Lucas who didn't trust Eleven. Then suddenly Eleven started talking.

'Why are they hurting you?' She asked. I turned around and saw she was talking to Mike.

'Who are you talking about?' Mike asked.

'They, they hurt you, that is not nice,' Eleven said.

'Is she talking about…' Dustin wanted to say but Mike interrupted.

'Troy, he is a bully, bullies aren't nice,' Mike explained to Eleven. I was happy for Eleven. She didn't know anything about the world so Mike was there to help. Just like how Lucas and Dustin are buddies.

But now that I think about it. Mike has Eleven. Lucas has Dustin and the other way around.

I have no one. I needed Will. I wanted to tell him how I feel about him. I wish he was here.

Eleven then appeared next to me. She hugged me as if she knew I needed it. I hugged her back.

'What is going on?' Lucas asked Mike. Mike looked at me. I nodded. Mike told Lucas and Dustin them about my feelings for Will. Eleven asked me if I was okay.

'Yes, it is just, a hard time… seeing you with Mike and Dustin… with Lucas, it is just, I feel alone without Will,' I said.

'And that is the reason why we are going to find Will!' I said. I turned around and walked further. We were almost at Will. I could feel it. Eleven grabbed my hand.

It was at 8:15 P.M. when we arrived at the place where Will would be. We were at Will his house. Eleven led us to a small house in the backyard.

When we opened the door we found nothing. I couldn't believe it. After everything we have done for Eleven, she betrayed us and doesn't even say sorry.

Then suddenly Dustin screamed. Another scream followed. It was Joyce Byers with an axe.

'What are you doing here?' she asked.

'We are just…' Mike wanted to lie but I didn't want to become the same monster as Eleven.

'We are searching for Will. We know he is alive,' I said.

'So do I, come in the house, maybe we can figure out together were Will is!' Joyce said and led us to the house.
Inside I thought I was crazy.

Everywhere, yes, everywhere were Christmas lights. On the ceiling, the walls, the floor, the tables, the chairs. And in the living room, above the couch was an alphabet painted. Above every letter hang a light.

'What is all of this?' Mike asked.

'I can talk to Will,' Joyce said. I couldn't believe my ears. Before anyone could talk I started.

'Will, ppplease come bbback, I, I need you!' I said. 'I, I,'

I couldn't speak anymore. I lost it again. Will was right here and I still couldn't be happy. He wasn't really here. Then suddenly a light turned on.

'D,' I read. The rest followed soon.

'O, N, T, C, R, Y,' Joyce read out loud. I threw my head against the wall. I needed him.

'Please, come back!' I yelled. But then Joyce read something else.

'R, U, N,'
