I was pacing around my room not knowing what to do or even what to believe. I hear heavy foot steps running up the stairs and my door open to reveal Mike, he quickly shuts it and looks at me.

"Wills still alive" he whispers to me

"What?"

"El did something to the walki-talki and I
heard Will singing that song him and Jonathan like"

I knew exactly which one

"Should I stay or should I go? By The Clash?" I say more as a question "So wait, then who's body is that?"

"See that's the thing. It's not a body" Mike tells me

"Then what is it?"

"I'm not sure, but I know definitely it's not Will"

I wake up in Mikes bed. I mean we have to make it believable to Mom and Dad that we actually think Will is dead. Me being the big sister, I helped him stay home today. Mom walks in and looks at us.

"Michael? Samantha? Hey honey, how you feeling?" Mom asks directing it at Mike
"I, uh - don't think I can go to school today" Mike tells her

"That's fine sweetie. I need to drop off Nance, then I'm gonna check in on Barb's parents. Why don't you grab a book or something and come with me? We can stop by the video pick out whatever you want. Even R-rated" Mom says to Mike

"I think I just want to stay home today. I mean, if that's okay? And Samantha is here so we'll be fine"

"Well, are you sure you're gonna be alright here by yourself? I know Samantha is here but..."

"Mom, we'll be fine" I tell her

"Alright. Well if you need anything call Dad at work"

"Okay" Mike and I say together

"Okay" she says back

"Bye"

"Bye guys"

Once Mom leaves I look at Mike and get out of bed.
