NEVER SURRENDER || mike wheeler

I tried to open the basement door but it was locked, they were obviously discussing Billy or something "Guys let me in!" I heard footsteps walk up and then the door was open Mike was standing there, "Hey Mike" I mumbled, "Hey" He muttered back and moved aside so I could walk down, We both walked down the stairs and I sat on the couch next to Lucas

Mike filled me in on what's happened and Max and Eleven were in the bathroom, "Something's not right I can't get Hopper off my back all summer now all of a sudden he's hiking with Will's Mom to Illinois and Dustin's MIA too? I mean this can't be a coincidence!" Mike ranted

I thought back to the last time I saw Dustin he had just heard a secret Russian code or at least he called it that, I thought about telling the group but that wouldn't be the reason he's not talking to any of us, that would just be stupid

"What does it matter, the bottom line is they're not here, its up to us" Lucas stated

"Up to us to do what exactly" Mike questioned

"Find Billy and stop him"

Mike and Lucas started going back and forth about what could happen and I was just getting tired of them already maybe Jamie was right

"We got the mind flayer out of Will before and he just came right back, we don't just have to stop Billy we have to stop the mind flayer"

"How the hell are we supposed to do that?" I preached

"I don't know!"

"Maybe El does." Will commented

Mike turned to the door, "What are they still doing in there?" Mike questioned whilst staring at the door, Lucas got up from the couch "I don't know girls just like hanging out in bathrooms"

"Why?" Mike turned around to look at me, I got up and stood next to Lucas "Because sometimes you guys are boring" I remarked holding in my laughter, "We're not boring! They're just conspiring against me" Mike whispered

"That's what you're concerned about right now?" Will whispered to him, I furrowed my eyebrows and looked back at the door, "I'm not concerned about it!" Mike argued

"I thought it was already over" Will commented, I turned my head to them but kept quiet I didn't really want to get involved with this it would just be awkward

"It is over!" Mike whispered, "They're just taking a break, Mike clearly wants her back" Lucas stated, Mike elbowed him Lucas pulled a confused face at Mike

"It wasn't! You guys do realize we can still hear everything you're saying right?" Max yelled

"See!" Mike whispered to Lucas, There was a knock at the basement door "NOT NOW MOM!"

"Mike open the door!" A voice that was definitely not Karen, It was Nancy, Mike furrowed his eyebrows and walked up the steps and opened the door to reveal Nancy and Jonathon standing behind it, Mike questioned them and then let them in 

-.-

Nancy started to explain everything that was going on to us and she knew that we knew what was going on, "Look at the body temperatures" She pointed the body temperature out, I was too far to look but I could guess it was bad "He likes it cold." Will muttered

"Okay so this crazy old woman who was eating fertilizer- 

"Mrs Driscoll" Nancy corrected Mike, "Right yeah Mrs Driscoll what time as the attack?"

"Last night"

"Right, but what time last night?" Mike questioned "Around 9:00" 

"You waited all night to call?" Jonathon asked Nancy, "I was waiting for the doctor to run some tests" Nancy answered, "You weren't there?" Will asked Jonathon in disbelief, "Well I'm here now aren't I?"
