Walkman (byler)

Chapter 7

Mike pov:

"El?" I ask
"Yeah"She replies
"Do you think we should check on Will he's been in the bathroom for so long" I say
"If you want to" El explains walking out of her room towards the bathroom.
"Will are you in there" I say banging on the door "Will!"
El bangs on the door even more before turning around to me " Do you think that something is happening to him"
"You really think that Will would ignore us?"
El shrugs in response
"Move back" El commands looking at the door and suddenly flings open
"Holy shit, what happened to him" I exclaim running up to Will and shaking him hoping that he will wake up
"Is that blood on his sleeve" El questions
"Oh it's probably from California. Someone who works for Owens got shot and ma and Will were trying to save him"
Out the corner of my eye i see El roll up Wills sleeve but I think nothing of it.
" How do we wake him up El" I ask desperate to save my bestfriend
"Don't worry Mike we just need to wait"
Despite El's words I continue to shake Will
"Come on Will wake up"
"No...No...you are not Mike" I hear Will whisper
"What? I am Mike
I try shaking him once more but theres no response.
"Should I get Joyce" El questions
"No Will wouldn't want that"I look and see El look down in sorrow " Don't worry we will if he doesn't wake up soon it's just that...Will..wouldn't want that"
I grab Will by his chin and look into his ghostly white eyes.
"Mike hes going to be fine" El reassures
Soon, I hear a gasp escape Wills mouth
"Oh my god I was so scared. Are you okay" I say pulling Will towards me and hugging him

"I'm fine"
"Are you sure" El says "Friends dont lie"
"I'm not lying " Will says in a loud and defensive tone
"Sorry I didn't mean it to come out like that"
"Will" I say "stop with the sorrys"
"Sorry...I mean yeah sorry..ugh ill shut up" He says laying back against the wall
"Don't say that" El says
"Okay" Will says in a whisper
"Should we go to sleep now it's already 9 and we need to be awake at 5 tommorow." I say
El says yeah under her breath whilst Will comes up to me "I know you don't want to her me say it but I'm sorry for all of...this"
"Will stop it's not your fault"
Will stays silent and goes into Els old room grabs a blanket and pillow and lays it down on the floor (El is sleeping on the couch because her old room keeps reminding her of Max, Jonathan is sleeping at the Wheelers and Joyce is sharing a bed with Hopper)
"Woah you stop right there" I say
"What"
"There is no way that after all that your letting me get the bed."
"It's fine it doesn't matter."
"Please Will take the bed."
"Fine"he says taking his pillow and blanket onto the bed

~~around an hour later~~

"Mike. Are you awake?" Will asks
"Yeah"
"Can I ask you something but you have to be 100% honest"
"Sure"
"Do you think that I..I'm going to end up like y'know...Max or worse"
"No of course not hey would you think that?"
"I mean if you think about it she had the same thing happen to her and I have a connection to Vecna so yeah"
"Don't worry about it Max only died because one of Lucas' stupid basketball friends broke her walkman."
"Lucas has basketball friends?"
"Shit you don't know about Lucas..Well he ditches me and Dustin and Eddie for basketball practice even if he was on the bench the whole time" I say laughing
"Eddie?"
"Yeah he was the dungeon master of the Hellfire club."
"This is going to sound stupid but what's the hellfire club?"
"A dnd club at Hawkins High if you stay in Hawkins you can join."
"You said that you wouldn't join another party" Will asked
"Shit well yeah...Dustin kinda forced me...to...join."I was now sitting on the edge of the bed next to Will
"Chill out I'm messing with you."Will laughed punching my shoulder lightly
"Did you join a Dnd club in California?" I ask
"No they didn't have one i mean maybe they did but El insisted that I join the Art Club."
"That's cool but you were probably the best artist there." I say with a smirk on my face. What am I doing?
"Thanks Will replies
Soon I go back to sleep on the floor and Will goes to sleep on the bed
