Mike's POV
Tuesday, next week
Three days after, all is still paralyzed. The party is destroyed, Dustin told me about the fight between Lucas and Will, and what he said. How did Lucas dare? He wasn't right... he just... wasn't. El has disappeared, I don't have any kind of new of her, and neither of Lucas. Max is with him so I have the same information. Dustin is... Well, he has come around a few times, just to check if I was fine. I would just answer that yes, even if I'm still dying inside. And of course, there is no sign of life of Will... Was what I had last week just a dream? Maybe it was just my conscience telling me to stay calm... But what if it wasn't? My life is not the most normal actually, so I wouldn't be surprised if Will decided to talk to me via the void or something... But why not in person? Why haven't I seen him since that day? At least... Something has been distracting my mind, you know? Times pass by easier with this person which name I still not know. Through the week, we've exchanged three letters, and it's so exciting! For now, I know that he's a boy, and that he goes to school with me, so maybe I know him! But then why is this 'Anonymous' thing about? ... I just hope is not a joke of Lucas or Dustin... but. Let me think. If this guy knows my address is because someone told him! So maybe those two know who I'm talking to! 'Why are you excited for a stranger?' You may be asking. My answer: I have no idea at all, but I mean, if you had a secret admirer you will be glad and amazed too... Or you would freak the shit out, I don't know. The point here is that this person is super cool! Yesterday I received a drawing of him, Will likes drawing too... But this is not him, I know his pictures quite well and this is a different style. It's like, it represents another thing, or feeling. I need to know who is writing to me, so I ask Dustin to come over and he accepts. A few moments later, he knocks my door and pass in
"Hey!"
"Uh... hey, I see you... different? What's up Mike?"
"Nothing, I'm just... in a better mood. How are you by the way?"
"I'm... fine I guess"
"And what with the rest?"
"Lucas is still furious, Max trying her best to calm him down, and you know... the other two"
"Still not news? "
"I'm sorry Mike, the last time I saw El she was too weird and too distant to have a proper conversation"
"El? With you?"
"Not just me, with Lucas and Max either"
"...Do you have any idea what is wrong with her?"
"I thought you did, and that's why you called me"
"N-No... I called you for another thing"
"Oh... alright"
"...By the way, how is Will?"
"Locked in his house, like the recent days... Why do you even care?"
"Excuse me?!"
"I-I mean, El told us he needed some space, I decided to forget about him until he remember us"
"He hasn't forgotten us, you jerk!"
"Then why is he not here already?"
"Maybe he's going through something"
"In that case he would have told us, wouldn't he?"
"No, not necessarily. Will doesn't like to be the center of attention, and you know that"
"No, but he still trusts you, doesn't he?"
"..."
"If he's not talking to anybody, is because he doesn't want to, not because he can't"
"...You can't know that if you haven't talked to him"
