Mike's POV:

I finished writing in my diary and put it back under my dresser. I have a lot of stuff on my mind so I should definitely write it down. What, it's not girly or anything, boys do it too. I lay down on my bed, the others are asleep in the basement. I'm in my room at 7:30 am in the morning.

I decided to walk around the house a little, the only people here in my family are my dad and Holly. Dad has to take her to a play date at I don't know, but I do still have the house to myself. They're still sleep I'm sure.

I walked downstairs and went straight to the basement. As I see him lying down on the ground, I couldn't help but just come closer. I walked over to him and layed down on my sleeping bag next to him. I caressed his hair as he doesn't even move a little. I guess Will is a deep sleeper when it's finally peaceful. I kissed Will on the forehead, I carefully get on top of him. Is this weird?

As I leaned down for a kiss, I heard the door opened. As I turned around I see my dad. I was paralyzed, my dad is a religious man. I couldn't move, not one bit I just stared at him as he looked at me with anger.

"Micheal Wheeler, what the hell are you doing?!" He whispered yelled because of my sleeping friends.

"Dad, it's not what it looks like!" I said to him with panic all over my face.

"Get your ass up!" He said pulling my up and dragging me upstairs.

"Dad, let go!" I screamed.

I heard him saying words to himself, he's probably praying over me. I couldn't help but breathe rapidly and try to escape his grip.

"You go to your closet and you pray. For all you done, repent." My dad said as I saw his closet that he was bringing me into.

"No, no! Please let me go!" I screamed at the top of my lungs trying to get out of the closet.

As he closed it I screamed and screamed for help. I stopped until he came back and full on slapped me in my face. He took off his belt and started whipping me with it. (Wade in the water😮‍💨)

"Keep your damn mouth shut!" He yelled stopping. He slammed the closet door and locked it.

I was trembling with fear, my legs, my thighs, my stomach, my arms, they all are throbbing with pain. I was so scared, I couldn't even cry. I couldn't move not one limb in my body.

I softly layed my hurt body down on the bare wooden floor and closed my eyes. I felt so dull but filled with fear. I've never been so scared before, this time that he hit me.

I was fighting to go to sleep. My eyes were trembling, it wouldn't let me sleep.

I just layed there until my dad comes back. He won't be back until 12:00 am because of work. I know none of my friends will even know I'm in here.

Will's POV:

I wake up to someone shaking my shoulder. Hoping it was Mike, I opened my eyes to see Dustin.

"Dude, it's 2:00 pm!" Dustin stated.

"And?" I said putting the sleeping bag over my head.

"Are you serious? It's time to wake up!" Dustin said flipping me out of my sleeping bag.

"Dustin!" I groaned.

"Get up dude, we're planning to go to the skating rink!" Lucas said coming in.

"Hey, do you guys know where Mike is? He isn't here in the basement like he should be." Max said coming out of the bathroom fully dressed.

"He's probably in the kitchen hanging out like always." Lucas rolled his eyes.

I got up, grabbed some clothes, and walked to the bathroom like a zombie.

"Move Bitch." I said with my raspy voice, pushing Max out of the way to the bathroom door.

"Damn, rude much?" Max said as I shut the door in her face.

I groaned as I started brushing my teeth and washing my face. I put on my clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

"Okay, I'm ready." I said walking out of the bathroom with a smile.

"A whole mood swing." Max said as she walked up the stairs.

"Guys, don't we got to find Mike?" Dustin questioned.

"He's probably with his mom or dad or Nancy. It's none of my business. Let's go!" Max exclaimed as she opened the door with no hesitation.

"Guys, did any of you hear someone screaming earlier this morning? I didn't move cause I thought it was another nightmare." I asked the party while we were walking out the door.

"Wait, you heard screaming too? I thought I was the only one?" Lucas stopped walking and turned around to me.

"Yeah me too." Both Max and Dustin said.

We all gave each other worried looks but Max broke that.

"Maybe, Mike were watching a scary movie early in the morning." Max said with a reassuring look on her face.

"I think we should just check the house, to make sure Mike is anywhere." I stated as we all went into the house to look for Mike.

Everyone spread out as I went to his room. I opened his door and he wasn't there. I got really worried. Where is Mike? Is he okay? Did someone break in? Was that him screaming?

I look over at his dresser and noticed something sticking out under it. I went to see what was there and it was his diary. I know I shouldn't be nosy but.. I don't give a fuck.

I grabbed it quickly and went through the pages. Thinking to myself that I would be finding something juicy, it's actually really sad.

"April 4th, 1986. Dear Diary, I thought about killing myself?!" I said in disbelief and in worry , that was the night where we fought.

"Will, you okay?" Max yelled from downstairs.

"Yeah!" I said stuffing the diary back under the dresser and exiting his room.

We all gathered around the living room and sat down.

"We should call his parents and Nancy." I said worriedly.

They all nodded in agreement. And we all went to the phone.

I dialed his mom's number and called it. I tapped my food rapidly waiting for her to pick up.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hi Ms. Wheeler. Is Mike with you?" I asked.

"No, Ted said y'all were all at home and asleep." She responded.

"He's not here." I said worried.

"Did you check everywhere in the house, even in me and Ted's room?" She asked.

"We didn't check in your room, we aren't allowed in there." I said.

"Okay, go in there. He might be there just sleeping in our bed like old times." She said.

"Okay, thank you Miss!" I said in relief.

"Okay, bye bye!" She said as she hung up the phone.

We all rushed into their room and Mike wasn't in their bed. It was even all made up, I could tell nobody was even there. I walked over to the closet and saw that it was locked.

It needed a key. Luckily, I saw the key on top of a dresser. I grabbed it and slowly opened the door. Hoping not to see adult toys, probably that was why it was locked.

There was crosses everywhere, I saw Mike laying on the ground. I looked at him in shock.

"Mike?!" I exclaimed.

The others all rushed over to the closet where I was. They all had the same reaction as I did. I quickly went down to him, thinking he was sleep, I shook him, he winced in pain as I did.

"Call Nancy." I said to the party still looking at Mike.

I heard their footsteps all fade away as they ran to the phone.

"Mike, what's wrong? Why are in this closet, and why is it locked?" I asked him.

"It was dad. Will, I've never been so scared in my life. Everything hurts, I can't move." He said with a raspy voice.

I sat there, I didn't know what to do. All I could think of was beating Ted's ass. I was so mad. Words cannot describe how bad I wanted Ted dead.

"Mike, let me help you up." I said as I was going to pick up up but he stopped me.

"Will, please, it hurts." He breathed.

"Mike, you gotta get through this. Let me help you." I said facing him.

He finally looked at me, his eyes, they were not the Mike I even knew anymore. They were so dull, the light couldn't even reflect off of them. It was like I felt the hurt he felt when I looked in them. All I could do was tear up, I couldn't control the tears from falling out of my eyes.

"I'm so sorry Mike!" I cried.

"Don't cry, Will. None of this isn't your fault." He managed to smile and his hand trembled across my face.

I held his hand and saw the scars on his arms. They looked like belt marks, I try not to show the sadness on my face from it and just smiled at Mike.

"Guys, Nance is on her way." Max said coming back into the room.

"Okay, I got him." I said looking at Max.

"Can I pick you up?" I asked Mike, he nodded in advanced. I picked him up as carefully as I could, he still groaned in pain but he was fine.

I carried him to the couch and placed him carefully on it. I put a blanket on him as he layed there.

I gather the party together at the kitchen table. Lot's of worried looks were given.

"We need to call an ambulance." I whispered.

"Yeah, he's right. Mike's badly hurt, he can't even move." Max agreed with me while whispering.

We all agreed we and everyone got up to go to the phone. I went over to Mike, I placed his hand in mine. Nancy bursted through the door and ran up to Mike.

"Oh my god, Mike?! Who did this to you? I swear, whoever did this to you will di-"

"It was Ted." I cut her off from making a scene. I saw as her face softened but turned into rage. She went back outside trying to keep it together. I saw her pacing back and forth as she tried to cool herself down.

"Guys, the ambulance is on the way." Lucas yelled so that me and Nancy could hear.

"Okay, Mike you just have to hold on a little bit longer. The ambulance is on the way." I said looking at Lucas than looking at Mike.

He nodded and with that, we just waited until the ambulance came. Nancy finally cool off and went back in the house. She sat down on the couch next to Mike, trying to comfort him.

I went back down to the basement to calm myself down from everything. I just.. It's just.. Ugh! I don't know what to say! Or think! Why does this happen, Mike has gone through everything! Everything bad has happened to him this spring break! And how shitty it's been.

I heard footsteps running downstairs, I turned around to see the ginger you all know and love.

"Will, you okay?" She said coming up to me.

"No, yes, I don't fucking know?! Do you think I'm okay?!" I yelled.

"Jesus, I clearly didn't know you were *this* upset." Max said.

"Mike is hurting. And his fucking dad is FUCKING INSANE!" I screamed at her. She quickly covered my mouth and looked around the stairs.

"Will, you gotta learn not to scream that loud. Your making yourself sound like Neytiri." Max rolled her eyes.

"How can I not when I am freaking out?! This is serious!" I said.

"Well-"

"This is Mike's second time going to the hospital, THIS WEEK. One because of me, and one because of his shit of a dad!" I yelled.

"Will-"

"I'm hating myself more and more everyday because of this. Is my relationship with Mike healthy? This is all happening because of me!" I screamed.

"Will, oh my god!" Max covered her mouth from the information I just gave her. I realized what I had said and quickly turned into 😧.

"I-"

Just before I could say anything, I heard the sirens and I knew that the ambulance was here. Me and Max ran up the stairs and saw Mike being carried away.

"Wait!" I said running up to the ambulance as they shut the back door in my face.

They immediately drove off as they did. I scoff in disbelief and grabbed my bike.

"Will, where are you going?" Max said running up to the door.

"Where do you think I'm going?" I rolled my eyes.

"At least let me come with you." Max said running up to her bike.

As we both got on we started to peddle all the way to the hospital where my love would lay at.

~*~

As soon as I got to the hospital I rushed in. Max came running after I ran into the front counter.

"The name is Mike Wheeler, where is his room?!" I yelled at the lady up front.

"Hey, you look famili-"

"Just where is his room?!" I yelled at her, cutting her sentence off.

"Jesus Christ, let me take a look at the sheet." She rolled her eyes and looked at her sheet.

The ambulance got here before us, obviously. So, Mike must have a room. Right?

"Same room as last time. Hope you can remember, you stress me out kid." She said slamming the paper down, looking at me with a death stare.

Me and Max ran but the lady stopped us.

"You have to wait, the staff is with him." The lady reminded us.

"Oh..Okay." I said going to the same chair I was in last time when I was here.

"I'm finna head out, I'll tell the party to come here. I just need some air." Max said walking up to me.

"Oh, okay." I said looking at her as she walked out the main door. I sighed and reacted my head on a wall.

After I knew it, I was fast asleep.

~*~

I felt tapping on my shoulder, I snapped up and saw the same nurse as last time.

"Are you.. Will Byers?" She said reading the sheet. Woah, Deju vu.

"Yes, is Mike ready?" I quickly sat up.

"Well, almost. Some nurses are talking with him and his mom." She smiled at me.

I groan as she told me that information, thanks a lot. For nothing!

As I sat down I saw Ms. Wheeler come out looking sad but angry. I walk up to her but she quickly ignores me. Rude much, damn.

"Oh! Seems like their little conversation is over! Now it's time for yo-"

I ran as fast as I could to Mike's door. I check in every door to see which one was Mike's. I reached the same door with the same Mike.

I burst in with a huge smile on my face. Mike looked at me and smiled softly.

"Hey Will." He smiled.

I closed the door and quickly hugged my so called best friend.

"Mike, your okay! Oh my god, I love you so much man." I said pulling him into a hug for the second time.

"I love you too Will. But.. I have to tell you something. You have to promise me that whatever I say will not effect our relationship." Mike said sternly and looking at me in the eyes.

"Yes Mike, I promise. Nothing will tear us apart." I said connecting our eyes.

"Will I'm... I'm going to a Mental Hospital." Mike said breaking our eye contact.

My heart dropped, right then and there I knew his mom was sending him away.

"It's two hours from here, I'm sorry Wi-"

"No, no. They can't send you away! Mike, I need you." I said with tears filling up in my eyes.

"Will, please don't cry.." Mike said looking away.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for everything I've done to you, just don't do this to me." I sobbed with the tears falling down my face.

"It's not your fault, it's my dad's." Mike said with tears in his eyes, looking back at me.

"Don't leave me Mike." I sobbed as more tears started to fall. I couldn't control myself. I couldn't stop crying.. and I couldn't stay strong for Mike.

Mike pulled me up on the hospital bed and slowly moved his hands around my face and hair, wiping the tears from my eyes. I saw tears fall down his face.

"Make this last, Will." Mike stated as he leaned in and kissed me. I kissed back, every single trouble I had seemed to slip away when I'm kissing him. I tried not to cry when I was kissing him.

He added tongue that made the kiss more passionate. He got on top of me and slowly started to unbutton my shirt. I tried to push him off of me, but he just smiled and took off my shirt.

"Mike.." I said softly, breaking the kiss.

"I want to make this last, make us last Will. Please?" Mike said.

"Fine.. but don't take it too far like a drunk rapist asshole would do." I rolled my eyes, Mike chuckled and kissed me again.

As he kissed me, he ran his hands through my chest. I blushed slightly as he went down to my torso. I slowly started pulling Mike's shirt off. I'm not dirty or anything I'm just rolling with it, the flow. He smiled as I did so. I completely had taken his shirt off and we were both topless.

I ran my hands through his body as he kissed me harder with more tongue. Okay, I think you know where this is going but that's not gonna happen, we're freshmen are you seriously thinking about that?

We slowly pulled apart to catch our breath. We still looked each other in the eye. He leaned down for my neck and started kissing it. Why, when you see boys kiss your neck, does it seem so horrible yet.. feel so right? I shouldn't let this crap happen that's not who I am, but with this kid. Daaammnn.

I held onto his waist as he started sucking on my neck, which was a foul move but like any man I can take it. I tried not to make any noises so that the staff would hear, but he was doing it so well. It's like he's experienced or something. I let out a quiet gasp as he softly bit my ear, I heard him chuckle a little bit. I just rolled my eyes and he moved to my lips again.

I slowly run my hands through his back as he does so. As I felt his tongue appear on my neck, we heard the door handle rattle. We quickly put back on our shirts as Mike went to go unlock the door.

The party and Nancy walked in the room. They all crowded around Mike like they were smothering him.

I'm still sad about Mike leaving. But, we have to what happens next.
