????????! [??] ?.?/?.?

September 30th, 1985, HAWKINS, INDIANA
Your POV:
Today Mike said Richie would start school with us, I put on some jeans with a oversized faded pink, orange, yellow t-dye tee. I rolled up the bottom and I let my hair down.

<< y/n! you there? Over.>> Mike called through the comms.

<<<yeah, over.>>>

<< get ready, we're meeting at Mirkwood. Over and out.>>

I looked outside and saw Will, Dustin, Lucas, Mike, El, and Richie waiting.

"Kate, you coming?" I asked.

"No I'm going with Troy," She smiled.

"Ew." I gagged.

"Shut up." She said sticking out her tongue and flipping me off. I returned the jester and walk out the door. I get on Will's bike, kissing him on the cheek.

"Well damn, are all getting kisses y/n?" Richie teases.

"Shut up," I blushed.

Time Skipppp

"What took you guys so long?" Max smirked.

"Yeah, we've been waiting forever for you guys." Tanner adds.

"Well we worked to get all the way over here, in 15 minutes, and how long was the car ride?"
Mike asked sarcastically. We start heading into the school.

"We'll meet you guys in a bit." Will said, holding my hand.

"Tell me that your not leaving me," I begged.

"I won't,"

"Seriously?"

"Anything for you y/n"

"y/n..." I turned around to see our original setting has changed, we were no longer in Hawkins High or Hawkins for the most part. At least I was with Will, right? I look around but no Will anywhere. I panic, the darkness isn't helping either.

"y/n," I start walking towards the voice and I end up falling into muddy water, someone pulls me up. I wipe my eyes to see Richie he leans in and for some reason I don't move, feeling the same way.

<<<<y/n you there? Copy>>>>
Lucas blared through the walkie.

<<<shit I overslept sorry I'll be there in 15, over and out>>>

I sat up, stretching my arms. I walk past the mirror before running back to it. My hair looked messy, I brushed it up a bit. I could already see myself crying. Today he's leaving me. I rode my bike for the first time in a long time. I miss him already. I make it to Will's, I open the door seeing the furniture gone Max, Dustin, and Lucas were teasing each other.

"Hey sleepyhead," Lucas smiled. Max had already gotten up seeing my tear-stained face. She hugged me, we walked to the bathroom finding El and Tanner crying too, then we were all sobbing.

"Guys we can't split up," Max says wiping away her tears.

"Never ever, you are all like my sisters, irreplaceable." El smiles.

"Holidays, come Christmas, come Thanksgiving, come Easter, and summer break, okay?" She nods.

"Screw holidays come whenever the hell you want, I got space in my house." Tanner laughs. All of a sudden the boys burst in.

"We heard crying we thought something happened," Will said rubbing his neck.

"We'll give you guys time," Dustin blushed in embarrassment. Richie closed the door

"SEE I TOLD YOU!" Richie yelled, the others laughed, my cheeks heated up.

"You okay?" Tanner whispered.

"Yeah, just upset." I lied. After another fifteen minutes or so, we came out the bathroom and started packing.

Will's POV:
"Whoa dude, that's the donation box," Mike says handing me the D&D box.

"I know, I'll just use yours when I come back. I mean if you still wanna play

"Yeah, but what if you wanna join another party—"

"Not possible, I won't ever."

"What about y/n?" Mike asked, I sighed,

"I know, just promise me something,"

"Anything."

"Just make her happy,"

"I promise,"

Your POV:
"Y/n?" Will asked.

"Yeah, zombie boy," I replied, he smirks.

"I'm seriously gonna miss you,"

"Me too, but long distance can work," I blurted out unsure of my statement.

"But I want you to be happy, and I don't want you to be sad and miss me all the time—"

"So you're saying—"

"I just don't want you hurt you,"

"Then don't do this to me, to us!"

"I love you, y/n. I really do but, I have to set you free!" He shouted, he was shaking and crying. I could tell he didn't want this either. He hugged me as I sobbed harder and harder into his chest. The car outside honked twice, letting us know it's time.

Everyone was crying once again, I sobbed uncontrollably. One by we all said goodbye to El and Will, I was the last to say goodbye. I kissed Will one last time, we hugged for what felt like hours. Mike basically had to pry me off of Will. I could see he didn't want to go. The car slowly pulled away, Will refused to look at any of us, El faked a smile and waved. Mike was not crying anymore, I guess he was too busy trying to get a hold of me.

"Y/n, y/n, y/n. Stop!" He says, someone grabs my hand and gently holds me. My sobs turned into silent tears, we all stared at the Byers house, soo many memories, some good, some bad, even some paranormal but this was the place most of us felt was home, in an odd way. We all sat on the porch in silence as the day grew darker. The same hand lightly tugged on mine, I look up at Richie. I honestly thought it was Mike or Max, I haven't even realized Max, Lucas, Dustin, and Tamryn had left. I quickly pull away remembering the dream I had earlier.

"I'll meet you at home, okay?" He tells Mike. Mike hesitantly looks at me, and I lightly smile.

"You love this place don't you?" He asked. I nodded slowly.

"Why?"

"When I was younger, my dad hit me a lot and I would ride my bike over here and stay with them. Sorry to make you uncomfortable or anything."

"No, don't I understand, my dad, er foster dad," He stuttered, showing a dull, purple-blueish bruise.

"Sorry, that's terrible—"

"Don't be, I'm just glad I've told someone,"

"You haven't told, your mom or Nancy—"

"Not even Mike, for some telling you felt natural."

"I only ever told Mike and Will that, I guess it felt natural too."
