Summary
“Don’t do that. Don’t be nice about it. You can be mad. It’s okay.”
“I am mad,” Will said. “But not about her. I’m mad you disappeared. I’m mad you stopped calling. I’m mad you didn’t show up when I invited you to my graduation. I’m mad that I had to hear from Jonathan that you got married. I’m mad you cut all of us off like it didn’t mean anything. But mostly I’m mad that you waited until your daughter was ten years old and missing to let me see you again.”
“I’m sorry.”
Will didn’t answer. The pause dragged too long. But then his voice came, even and low. “I know.”
; Years after trying to outrun the scars of Hawkins, Mike Wheeler is dragged back when his daughter vanishes without a trace. The past isn’t done with him — and neither is the boy he once braved the dark for.

Summary
“Did you know?” he asked at the last moment, voice cracked and warbly from crying. He hadn’t sounded that young in years.
She hesitated for one painstaking moment, and at last replied, “No, Mike.”
She almost closed the door, but stopped again.
“I am sorry,” she whispered, remorse staining her voice, and quietly closed the door behind her.
Three days after graduation, Will disappeared in the dead of night with nothing but a note left in his absence, and Mike's heart left with him.

“Where’s the tape?! Where’s-” Lucas was shouting, his hands clambering frantically at the pockets of Mike’s jacket, trying to pull him down in the process. “If Max were here- she’d know, goddammit she’d already have it-”
The mention of the redhead’s name sent a fresh spike of terror through the group. They were failing; they were losing Mike just like they’d almost lost Max.Fuck.

Summary
Will jumped as a deafening bang erupted from the building, echoing through the surrounding trees. The sound was so sharp it made his ears ring.
He didn’t need to hear it twice.
Panic surged through him as he scrambled for his bike, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry. He just needed to get out of there, something was about to happen and he didn’t want to be around when it did.
But when was life ever on Will’s side?
