  Summary

  After losing El in the final battle and all of his friends leaving for college, Mike Wheeler closed himself to the world, his mind making him believe that he was not worthy of living anymore. He stayed locked in his room, writing stories, hoping for time to pass faster.
  Seeing Will back after long months brought back his breathe, and makes him slowly realize that he may be allowed to start living again.
  He just needs to get his shits together, and to finally heal.

   

  A story about Mike's healing journey, struggling with mental health and internalized homophobia, before realizing his feelings for his best friend.
