Chapter 11: Visions

Will's P.O.V

''She's not here.'' Mike says, walking out of the automatic doors of the supermarket.

Lucas, Dustin, and l sit on our bikes waiting out in the front.

''Do you think she was here?'' Dustin asks.

Mike shrugs and throws his leg over on his bike.

''Maybe she went back home.'' I assure him.

"Maybe." Mike says unsurely.

''Alright we'll go to Mike's and see if El is there, if not- " Lucas shakes his head.

"We keep looking." I look over at Lucas.

Mike sighs and bikes through the parking lot onto the main road. I pedal after him and Dustin and Lucas follow.

''Wait up, Mike!'' yells Dustin.

Mike continues  to pedal faster down the road.

Dustin groans. "My legs!"

I pedal up faster towards Mike.

All I could think about was how I was going to tell them about Eleven. How was I going to tell Mike?

I focus on catching up to Mike unaware of Dustin and Lucas calling my name.

"Will!!'' Lucas yells faintly.

I snap out from my thoughts and glance back at Lucas and Dustin far behind me, waving their hands in the air to me. I turn forward and see that Mike is coming towards me. 

''Will!'' Mike calls out.

Tires screech against the asphalt and I turn to see a red car coming over on my left side. I squeeze the brakes on my handlebars tightly and watch as the beaming headlights blind me. The horn roars through the streets and echoes through my head. 

Eleven. 

**

''Do you have any idea how much trouble you could've been in?

Hopper glances over to Eleven sitting beside him in the passenger seat.

Eleven shrugs.

Hopper turns his attention back at the road.

''And why aren't you at Mike's?''

Eleven shakes her head. 

''He hates me.''

Hopper sighs and grips the wheel. A red car passes by them.

''What happened?''

Eleven shakes her head and tears form from her big brown eyes and fall against her cheeks.

''It's okay.'' He says calmly. 

Eleven stops crying and closes her eyes. Her hands shake and she jumps up in her seat, slamming her hands on the passenger side window. A rush of anxiety hits her, and she beings wailing out loudly. 

''Turn back! Turn back!!'' She yells trying to open the passenger door. 

Hopper looks over quickly and stirs the wheel with one hand as he reaches over trying to stop Eleven from opening the car door while moving. 

''What the-- Eleven, don't do that!''

Hopper pulls the car over to the side of the road and turns Eleven towards him.

Eleven mumbles under her breath and squirms in her seat. Hopper can barely comprehend what she is trying to say. 

''Sarah, speak to me!'' He blurts out. 

 Eleven stares up him baffled by the name, but naturally calms down.

''Will. Trouble.''

Mike's P.O.V 

''Will!'' Lucas yells. 

I turn around and see Will racing up toward me. A red car honks the horn and Will looks over. I turn around quickly and race toward the scene. 

''Will!'' I call out. 

Will looks toward me and back at the car. The headlights shine on him and the car..

Freezes. 

I stop and watch Will slowly glides pass the front of the car. He pedals towards me and tumbles over onto the road. I bend down toward him and he grabs my hand. 

''I'm alive?'' he asks. I nod. 

The car unfreezes and speeds up, sliding against the road.  The horn honks and the tires screech.

  I glance up from Will and watch as the car drives away. 

''El?'' I whisper. 

Will sits up and glances across the other side of the road. 

Eleven lowers her hand.  Hopper, Lucas, and Dustin stand beside her. 

''Holy Hell.'' I mutter.
