   Summary

   “It’d been about two weeks since the Byers’ left for California and Mike was… handling it. In a way.

   Mike swore he was fine, Will being gone was a good thing. He was safe now, away from this hell-hole of a town that’s been nothing but terrible to him.

   And Mike was happy from him.

   Except now, the whole party was starting high school in seven hours and Mike wasn’t handling it.”
