was all i heard when my eyes fluttered open, squinting them from how bright the room was, everything was dizzy, the room was spinning-
wait- where am it? and god does my chest hurt everytime i fucking breathe
i looked down to see me in a hospital gown, cords all around me and on me and a heart moniter next to me
"what the fuck?" i mumbled, i then heard a loud thud on the ground making me jump and jolt my head twords the noise, but before i could process what it was, arms were wrapped around me tightly, i didnt even have to look to know who it was, i knew by the smell of her
it was robin
i hugged her back, ignoring the pain that came as i did so, "mel" she whispered, tears hitting me from how happy she was,"im so fucking happy you're awake" she whispered
"wha- what happened?" i whispered "why does everything hurt? my- my eyes- my chest- everything" i said confused, "you- you don't remember?" she asked with a worried look, scared if i forgot more things
"can i tell you later? can we just be happy right now?" she asked me, i nodded for a response, we finally ended the embrace and i looked behind robin, dustin was passed out asleep with his hand in his head, snoring obnoxiously "how long have i been out?" i asked
"two days" robin answered holding my hand, i tried to think back to my last memory- and it suddenly hit me
eleven walking into my mind
vecnas hand peircing my eyes
not feeling or seeing
robins sobs and cries
"i love you so much"
"mel? whats wrong?" robin asked, i didnt reply still lost in my thoughts, "mel!" she said, which made me snap out of it, "how did i survive?" i whispered
"the- the doctors say it was a miracle- d- do you remember? what happened?" robin asked, i slightly shook my head
"i- i dont want to think about it right now- we should just be happy right now like you said" i softly smiled, "yeah of course" robin said, "can i ask something first though?" i said looking up to her, she shaking her head, tears still rolling down her face from excitement
she nodded her head yes, i sighed, scared for the answer, "how- how badly hurt am i? i didnt break anything did i? and how can i see? and wh-" i was now ranting nervously, robin grabbed my other hand
"mel, stop stressing, everything will be okay- i promise, an- and you didnt break anything, you're badly bruised up- and scratched- and you may have scars under neath your eyes- and- right when yo- you- st- stopped breathing- your eyes, they went to normal- before your eyes were how they were like in the trance but- yo- you died right whenever the others killed it- so right when they killed it- i guess the blindness went away? oh my god im sorry now im the one ranting" robin said nervously which made me laugh
"no your good, i missed your rants anyways" i smiled, we sat in comfortable silence just looking at each other when robin spoke up, "so- dustins a heavy sleeper?" robin questioned, making me laugh"yeah he sleeps through anything and everything.. we should probably wake him up anyways, kinda want a hug from him.. super badly" i said smiling, mumbling the last part

i was sitting up on my hospital bed smiling and talking to dustin, we had woke him up and he gave me the fattest bear hug ever. the nurse had came in and took out all the unnecessary tubes and shit and asked me some questions like on how i was feeling, what part of my body hurt, last thing i remembered
[in which i had to lie about because obviously i couldnt say 'oh this guys named vecna who lives in a different dimension showed me his hand and then i couldnt see or feel anything only the person standing to the left of mes cries as i died but somehow was brought to life']
as the nurse just left, we were all talking and laughing when footsteps approached the door, i rolled my eyes, "i swear to god if its that nurse again i will make whatever miracle kept me alive and un-do it" i whispered to them
"i disaprove of that" robin said, "yeah me too" dustin agreed, the door shot open, only to reveal the best people in the world
"holy shit" i smiled, expecting just the people who went on the vecna journey in hawkins, i saw steves eyes widended when he saw that i was awake, running over to hug me, me tighfly hugging him back, "i left to check on the kids and this shit happens" steve mumbled "love you too" i whispered, he took me out of my embrace and my jaw dropped when i saw eleven standing there
not to mention mike, will, and jonathan
eleven smiled and ran over to hug me, "jesus fuck i wouldnt be here without you" i whispered, "it was you wasnt it?" i questioned, pulling away to look at her face, she just smiled and i knew from that that it was a yes "i love you" i whispered and she whispered back
lucas and erica practicly ran up to me after, i then realized they both saw me die, maybe not the exact moment but still. "i hope i didnt tramatize you guys" i laughed and pulked out smiling
i saw mike and will in the corner, "mike, will, come here" i demanded as the walked up to me both hugging me, "mel! i have so much things to tell you- and i have to show you something" mike smiled still hugging me, i pulled away to look at their faces, "i promise we'll hang out soon" i said to mike, i then looked at will, "you've grown so much" and pulled them into another hug, and pulled out
"max.." i smiled big, she walked over and tightly squeezed me, i already felt her tears, "its okay max" i whispered, "i thought you were gone" she whispered, "im still here" i smiled
me and max were left in our embrace for a about 30 seconds when eddie decided that max had enough
"oh man thats enough" eddie said, max pulled away as eddie slammed his arms around me making me laugh, "best drug dealer" i whispered, "best buyer" he whispered back

that was yesturday
before i go any further my mom came soon after we called her, she just happened to be out getting dustin and robin food when i woke up, and we also never knew when i was going to wake up so it was reasonable
anyways, i had just got let out of the hospital as they wanted to keep me in for the night, during the night robin had stayed with me, i assured her she should go home and get rest but anytime i did so she would isntantly stay home, dustin wanted to stay too but i practicly forced him to stay home with my mom
i was now sitting in the front seat of steves car, looking around my body finding new marks of some sort anywhere i looked, robin was in the back of steves car
"jeeeesus, look at this one" i said reaching out my arm to reveal a big purple burse on the back of my arm
"i swear to god that thing better me dead" steve mumbled, joy divison playing in the background, steve was pulling onto my street when love will tear us apart, turned on, everyone turned to me when it turned on reconising it scanning my expression for a reaction
i instantly got a 'flash back' of running away from it while seeing everyone panicking as i was fucking floating, i heard steve asked something faintly but i was too focused on the recent memory, i was brought back to the real world when i realized i was zoned out "mel?" robin asked, you could hear her worriedness in her voice
i shook my head and looked up, "what? sorry- i- i zoned out" i looked at steve and robin, steve clicked the music off, "you okay?" steve asked worried, i just lightly shook my head, "you sure mel?" robin asked placing a hand on my shoulder, i felt whatever that was whenever she did so
"yeah- s- sorry for scaring you guys" i whispered "no need to apologize" steve said, glancing over to me to check if i was still breathing
i sighed deeply as we now pulled into my driveway, robin got out fast and opened my door as steve also got out, robin reached out her hand pulling me up "so sweet" i said sarcastically "anything for you princess" robin whispered sarcastically back [poor steve]
not letting go, me and robin walked too my door with steve closely behind, i slowly twisted the handle open, dustin slamming the door fully opened and tightly wrapping his arms around me, making me lot go of robins hand as i hugged him back "MEL!" he yelled, "DUSTIN!" i yelled back sarcastically
he finally let go of his embrace and i was met with my moms eyes, she placed down clues [our cat] and embarced me, "i am so happy to see you home, i love you so much" my mom mumbled into me making me smile "im happy to be home, love you too mom" we pulled away from each other
i felt clawing at my pajama pants i looked down to see clues purring at me, i reached down and picked him up, petting him softly "i missed you too"

steve and dustin both had just left my room from all 4 of us hanging out, steve leaving saying 'i should go now, call me whenever you're ready to hang out love you' and steve whispering something to dustin before dustin dustin leaving saying 'im gonna go to my room, love you mel'
it was now just me and robin.
we both sat on my bed shoulder to shoulder
i had a pretty fullsize bed but we still seemed to be squished together, "hey mel" robin whispered, "yeah?" i whispered back turning to her, our faces super close, but without robin saying anything, she just wrapped her around around my waist, and pulled me into a hug, her head in the crook of my shoulder and head, "im sorry" she whispered
"sorry? for what?" i asked confused, "for everything, i'm sorry i couldnt protect you better, im sorry you- you had to go through that- i should have thought about 'oh what if something happens and somehow the headphones break, what happens then?' i should have brought an extra pair or- or something and-"
"wha- what happened?" i asked softly as i still never was told the full story, "jason- that fucker- he came in here, punching the shit out of lucas as his other jock-ass friend was after erica and he smashed the headphones with his feet and- god did i just want to kill him right there but the fucker knocked both of us out- me first- so when he was after lucas i was conscious again and i kicked him in the balls and then he got knocked out and-" robin was now ranting out of pure stress
i pulled away from our hug, looked at her in the face, "robin, its okay, stop stressing, im okay, you cant control what that asshole was doing, dont blame yourself cause' its not yours or lucas's fault" i assured her
