Alora's POV

when I got to the Arcade I went to the bathrooms and changed into my uniform before heading out to the counter. As I stood behind the counter I see Keith come and stand next to me.

"hey, Keith how has your day been?" I asked as turned to face him

"it's been ok it's just the same as every other day. How about you do you have any AP classes this year" he said

"Uhh yeah I do I have AP English and AP Science" I responded Keith was about to say something back when all of a sudden I hear someone whisper my name in a worried tone

"Alora. Alora" little Will Byers whispered to me looking quite scared I quickly grabbed his hand and led him into the back room as he looked like he couldn't breathe.

"Hey Will just sit down here and look at me ok? I want you to take some deep breaths ok I will do them with you" I said as I knelt down in front of him with my hands on his knees and we both took some deep breaths but Wills were very shaky. I have known will since he was 3 years old and I first met Jonathan, I used to babysit Will for the Byers before Johathan and I broke up a few weeks before Will went missing. Jonathan was my first and only boyfriend and it was a hard break up but before Will went missing I still made time to hang out with him and let him know that if he ever needed me I would be there in a heartbeat.

Will took a few more shaky breaths before he launched himself at me and gave me the biggest hug I have ever had while whispering in my ear

"thank you, thank you Alora. it felt like I couldn't breathe what was that?" he asked me as he pulled away

"you had a panic attack Will" I explained

"but I haven't had one of those in years" he explained,

"yeah well sometimes they can happen at random times do you know what set it off?" I asked him he just looked down and shook his head no

"ok well do you feel ok enough to go back out or do you want me to call Jonathan to come and get you?" I asked him

"could you call Johnathan please I'm tired and want to go home?" he asked me I just nodded and got up off the floor before taking Will's hand and leading him back to the counter and taking him behind it with me and over to the phone. I filed the Byers number and let the phone ring. After a few rings, I hear someone pick up.

"Hello?" I hear Jonathan say

"hey Jonathan it's Alora please don't hang up, I'm at work at the Arcade and Will asked me to call you because he wants to go home" I explained awkwardly I haven't spoken to Jonathan since just after Will went missing and that conversation didn't go very well

"oh ok I will come and get him now than thanks Lora," he said before hanging up. I hung the phone backup before I went back over to Will who was sitting in my chair eating some chips

"hey Jonathan will be here in a little bit do you want to go and tell your friends that you're going home," I told him

"yeah ok I'll be back in a sec," he said getting up from the chair and heading over to his group of friends

After a few more minutes I see Jonathan walk up to the counter.

"hey, Alora where is Will at?" he asked awkwardly

"he has just gone to tell the boys he's leaving hell be back in a second," I responded

"so uhh how have you been?" he asked while scratching the back of his neck

"I have been good. umm Will had a panic attack and I had to calm him down I just thought you should know that's why he asked me to go home" I explained to him and his face went from a tired to one of worry
