Will

November 1983

You, Mike, Will, Lucas, and Dustin are playing D&D all together having fun. You put down the Demogorgon figure of the board and everyone tells you to fireball so you roll the dice but the go on the floor so everyone gets up and starts looking. Mikes mom calls that it’s time to go home but Mike insists for 20 more minutes but both his parents disagree for how late it is. When you’re getting in your bicycle you look at Mike and tell him the dice was a 7. You and Will race each other back to his house, but you go another way thinking it’ll be quicker. You see a very weird creature shadow figure standing at the top of the hill looking to the side, you swerve to the side and land on the grass and run away. You make it to Will’s house and he’s still not there, so you run inside and run to the phone trying to call your mom but then Will’s dog starts barking at the front door so you look and see the same figure walking across the door. You run outside into a wooden shed and grab a rifle, putting bullets inside, your hands shaking and you’re looking at the shed door in case it opens. Once you got the bullets inside you point the gun at the door, ready. That’s until everything goes black.

Summer of 1986

You wake up in a hospital with doctors scattering around the room, but one doctor runs out of the room to tell your family and friends in the waiting room. After a couple minutes you see Will, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin. They look a little different, taller, but with Mike you see a girl that you never seen before “This is my girlfriend, Eleven, but we’ve been calling her Jane” Mike says. You look at Will, noticing him looking at you, he caresses it your hand and sits in the chair by the hospital bed and he looks at his friends “I’m staying here for a while” Will says. He looks back at you with love, and worry. 5 hours has passed and Will is still there, holding your hand. A doctor rushing in holding a syringe. “Can I please speak to you for just a moment” The doctor says to Will. Once outside the room Will hears this from the doctor “We need to put this liquid into her arm to make her sleep, it’s a sedative. But the demogorgons got out, it’s completely dangerous, so please bare with me” The doctor opens the door for Will and closes it, the doctor walks to you and is about to poke you with the needle but you move your arm. “I can do it, my mom has done it before, she was a doctor” Will says. Once the doctor hands Will the syringe, Will carefully injects you with the liquid and after a couple seconds you fall deep asleep. While alarms go off and the power goes out, Will picks you up bridle style, wanting to get out quickly. After around 30 minutes he escapes the huge lab with you still safely sound asleep in his arms. Will sees Mike’s mom car and rushes over, placing you in the back seat so your properly laying down, and he sits in the passenger seat, holding your hand and rubbing the pad of his thumb over your skin. When you start to slowly wake up you realize your in someone’s bed, but sees Will

It’s Christmas Eve and you and Will are in Mikes basement doing gift exchanges, you got Lucas, and Will got Mike. Dustin got you, Lucas got Will. You’re sitting on Will’s lap watching Mike open his present. Will has his arms wrapped around your waist, his chin on your shoulder and whispering sweet nothings in your ear
