Mike
1:06pm
The previous day had really affected Mike, Seeing Will the way he was at the hospital, That was not the Will Byers that Mike knew, Jonathon had told Mike that Will wasn't lying about him being gay, Jonathon told Mike that both him & Joyce were the only two Will had told before he told Mike, Mike beileved him, Mike always wondered why Will didnt have eyes on any girls, even at the Snowball the previous year Mike got the impression that Will was not comfortable dancing with girls in the way he had too that night, Will had also hinted the day after the dance he didnt enjoy it.
"It was ok..nothing special"
Mike could still remember them words but He always thought that it was Will's life and he could do what he wanted with it, Mike was so shocked by how Will was at the hospital that his attiude and his coming out didnt seem true..like he was possessed again like the previous year, That anger..it scared Mike, Will didnt have a bad bone in his body, Nor could Mike recall Will ever swearing either like that, Mike knew he needed to give Will some space, Jonathon had reasurred Mike he would keep him updated on how Will was.
Mike had spoke to El the previous night and told her about what had happended at the hospital, He didnt tell her about Will's coming out at first until she hinted that he had told her & Max a few days previous at school, Which then made sense to Mike why Will,Max & El had been so secretive that day at school, Mike then told her that Will had told him he was gay, El finally admitted she and Max knew as well, Mike then arranged to get El and Max to meet him today to talk more about it.
Mike was sat at the top of a hill looking out towards Hawkins, The kids had spent a lot of time there in the summer and Mike thought it was a good place he could talk with the girls about Will, Mike sat with a small frown on his face, He was deep in thought and of course Will was on his mind, He just wished he could help him. Mike sighed, his eyes then fell down towards the woods below his eyes at the bottom of the hill, He saw El & Max emerge out of the woods, Mike then allowed a smile to come to his lips as the two girls came walking up the hill towards him, Both looked like they had a seirous conversation about something and Mike could guess what it was already before they even spoke a word.
"Hey" Mike called down to them as he stayed down on the ground.
Both girls looked up towards him. "Hey" Both said a few seconds after each other, El walked over to her boyfriend and placed a gentle kiss onto his lips as she sat down beside him, taking his hand while Max sat on the other side of Mike.
"You ok?" El asked him, She didnt say it quietly cause she knew Max was probably going to ask Mike the exact same question and didnt care about how loud she was talking, All three were going to talk about the same thing so being secretive between the three of them didnt really matter at this point.
"I've been better.." Mike replied as his plain facial expression was a give away, El looked down at his hand and squeesed it gently, feeling such sadness for her boyfriend, She too felt sad for Will, El even knew how much Will had been through, she could relate to it, She had been through hell herself.
"Any news or?" Max asked with hope in her eyes as Mike quickly ended that by shaking his head as he gave her the 'sorry' look quickly after, Max frowned and glanced out towards the woods in thought.
"So do you want to talk about it?" El asked him slowly, She asked with the possiblity Mike would probably say no.
"I..I just cant get over how angry he was, Will is never angry..never"
