Chapter Ten
Joyce's pov
I open the door with my key and we all rush in
We see him run out the window, shirtless
"WILL! COME BACK" Mike yelled
I see something on the floor
"Mike.. Jonathan.. where did he get that..?" I point horrified to the bottle on the floor
"Oh shit.." Mike spoke
"I thought you dumped them out!" Jonathan yelled at Mike
"We must've forgot one!" Mike said
"He must be drinking now.." I said
"We have to find him before he gets in trouble!" Mike said
We run out the house into my car and drive off
Wills pov
"Shit" I slurred
"I'm almost done with this stupid fuckin bottle" I added
I decide I'm gonna lay down in the grass when I heard a car
I didn't bother to look, until I heard my name
I saw Jonathan, Mike and my mum run towards me
I jumped up and used an empty bottle of Whiskey for protection
"Don't you fuckin dare come-hic- close to me" I slurred
"Will. Come here" Mike tried to lure me
"NO! IM NOT FUCKING COMING" I yelled
I see at the corner of my eye Jonathan running towards me
I fling the bottle at him and make a run for it
(That's so funny to me for some reason)
"OW FUCK" I heard Jonathan yell
I look back and see Mike chasing me while my mom helps Jonathan with his bloody face
"Your not gonna catch me fucker!" I yelled
I flew to the ground when I felt Mike tackle me
"I fucking caught you. Your coming home" Mike said pinning me down and straddling my hips
"Let me go you asshole" I whined and wiggled trying to get free
"No!" Mike yelled
"Fuck you" I slurred
"You guys are so fuckin stupid" I laughed
"Why?" Mike looked at me confused
"You guys forgot two bottles in the wall! And you stupid fuckers missed a bottle I hid under my bed a few weeks ago" I slurred and laughed
"You had one under your bed this whole time?!" Mike yelled
"Yup" I said popping the 'P'
"You coming home now. I'm looking through your room when we get there" He pulled me up to my feet
"NO!" I screamed but he ignored me
He started dragging me to the car while I whined and kicked to get free
"Please. Let me go! I just wanna be happy" I cried and squirmed in Mike's arms
"We will get you help! That's how you can be happy without putting yourself in danger!" Mike said
"But I want to -hic- to drink!" I hissed
"No! You are not drinking!" Mike yelled
He picked me up and faced me towards him to stare into my eyes
"Will, look at me." He said sternly and tried to look into my eyes
"What do you want, idiot?" I said, trying not to make eye contact
He grabbed my face and forced me to look at him
"Will! Fucking look at me!" He yelled
I finally decided to look into his eyes
"Fine" I mumbled
"I love you so much. I will try my hardest to make you happy and to help you. I will help you as much as I can to get you out of this. No cutting. No drinking." He spoke and stared into my eyes
"Mike.." I whispered
"Please.. try and stop" he asked me
I nodded hesitantly
"I will help you through this. It's my duty as your boyfriend and your bestfriend" He assured me
"Mike.. I'm sorry.. I don't know what came over me" I cried
"It's okay. Let's get you home" he said
I nodded and got into the back seat of my mom's car
Eventually Jonathan and my mum came in the car
I noticed Jonathan's nose was bleeding
"What the fuck happened to you?" I slurred
"You just threw a fucking bottle at me! Do you not remember?!" Jonathan yelled
"S-sorry.. I-I don't know what came over me.." I apologized
"It's fine. We have to get home" Jonathan said
Mike's pov
After a while I noticed Will fell asleep on me
"He's sleeping" I said
"Good. He can't fucking do anything else" Jonathan mumbled
"We really need to help him. But I don't know how.." Joyce stated
"A few day after the party found out, I saw him googling things like AA and therapy" I replied
"Okay.. I'm pretty sure they do daily AA sessions at like 6:30 pm - 8:45 pm just at the corner of Olive Branch rd" Joyce spoke
"We can get him there tomorrow. He probably won't be able to go today" Jonathan cut in
"Yeah.." I mumbled and look down at Will, who had his head on my lap
I played with his hair and watched as he slept
I didn't even notice I was crying until a tear drop landed on his cheek
At the Byers house
3rd person
A few hours later
Mike carefully placed Will in his bed and walked out to the living room
"Hey guys. How are you doing?" Mike asked
"My nose is fine. I'm just really worried about Will. I never saw him drunk before.." Jonathan said
"I-I can't believe my baby boy cuts himself and drinks!" Joyce cried
"Mom.. he's going to be okay.." Jonathan tried to comfort Joyce
"Are you going to get him into therapy? Counseling? They have a rehab where he has to stay there for a month and they watch him to make sure he doesn't drink. They have daily lessons and stuff to help people recover" Mike suggested
"Rehab seems good. I just don't want to be away from him for that long again" Joyce sniffled
"It will be good for him" Jonathan said
Joyce just nodded
"I-I'll see what he wants" Joyce said
"What about his.. Um.. cutting?" Mike asked quietly
"If he doesn't stop.. I'm sending him to a.. pysch ward" Joyce sighed
"I'll help him get through this" Mike said
"Thank you. You make him very happy" Jonathan said
"He makes me happy" Mike replied
"Does anyone know that your gay? In your family?" Joyce asked
"N-no.. I'm planning on telling them soon" Mike said
Joyce nodded and smiled slightly
"I'm going to go see Will now, okay?" Mike announced and left to Wills room
Mike's Pov
I walk into Wills room but I see no one in there
"Will?" I call out
"Will? Where are you?" I start panicking
I hear thumping and banging coming from the bathroom
(He's raging😁)
"Will? Are you in there?" I knock at the bathroom door
I hear crying and I start to worry
"Will? Are you okay? Let me in" I said, jiggling the doornob, but I don't think he can hear me due to the banging
"I'm so fucking stupid! I can't believe I did that! I'm such a stupid idiot!" I hear him cry and continue thumping around
"Will!" I spoke a little louder for him to hear me
Will said nothing but I can hear him crying loudly
"Will.. let me in please" I begged
He still said nothing, but I hear the lock click and I rush into the bathroom
"Will.. why are you crying?" I hug him
"I'm so fucking stupid.." Will cried
"No.. why would you say that?" I asked
"I-I fucking relapsed. I'm a fucking idiot" He said
"It's okay.. I'm here" I comforted him
"I'm so fucking stupid! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fucking stupid bitch.." He cried and hit his head over and over again
"Hey! Don't do that! Stop hitting yourself" I said and grabbed his hands and held them down so he couldn't hit himself
"I-Im sorry Mike" he apologized
"No.. don't apologize" I said
I pulled him into a tight hug while he cried into my chest
After a while I heard him gag and he pulled away
He quickly lifted the toilet seat and puked
"Get it out. All of it" I said and patted Wills back
He was vomiting for a few minutes until he threw himself against the wall and wiped his mouth, crying
"It's okay.. stay here. I'll get you some water" I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of water
"W-was that him vomiting?" Joyce asked from the livingroom
"Yeah.. he's started to get it out his system." I Said, filling up a cup with tap water
"Good." Joyce smiled slightly
As I walked to the bathroom I quickly peek in Wills room and see him laying down
"I thought I told you to stay in the bathroom?" I chuckled
"Sorry" Will said
"It's okay I'm just teasing" I sat down beside him and gave him the water
"Fuck.. Mike I might need a bucket" Will sighed
I got up and grabbed a white pail from the bathroom
"Thanks" Will smiled as I placed it beside the bed
"Here. Just so you don't get it in your hair" I tied his hair up with a little elastic band
"My hair's too short to get vomit in it" he giggled
"I know. Your just cute with it on" I smiled and kissed his forehead
Me and Will lay down and I big-spoon cuddle him
We were laying in silence when Will suddenly broke it
"Does you family know your gay? Or dating me?" Will asked me
"No.. they don't even know I broke up with El. I haven't been home in weeks" I said
"Oh. Maybe you should tell them tomorrow. Or whenever your comfortable" Will suggested
"Yeah.. I'll do it tomorrow" I sighed
"Do you want me to come with?" He asked
"N-no.. I think you should stay here and try and talk to your family" I quietly spoke
I felt Will nod
"You don't have to answer this, but.. does your breath still linger of alcohol?" I randomly asked
"Kinda.. not a lot though. I tried to get it out. I brushed my teeth a lot" He whispered
"Okay. Can I kiss you? I haven't kissed you since early this morning. Like what 6? 7 am? It hasn't been long but I miss the feeling of your lips on mine" I chuckled
Will giggled and turned around to kiss me
We kissed for a few minutes until he pulled away
"What time is it?" Will asked
I sat up and peered over Will to his clock
"It says 8:21 pm" I said, laying back down
"Okay. I'm really tired" he sighed
"Me too.. come here" I held my arms open, signaling Will to come in
Will dug his face into my chest as I wrapped my arms around him
"Y'know... it's okay to relapse.. you just have to understand that just because I said that, doesn't mean you'll get to keep drinking and we'll just be okay with it. It also doesn't mean you get to try less to recover" I said
"Okay.." Will replied
I kissed his forehead and closed my eyes
Just when I closed my eyes, I heard him crying
"Oh.. Will it's okay. Your going to be okay" I said, rubbing his back
Will said nothing. Instead he just nodded and continued to cry
After a while he stopped crying and I heard light snoring
"I love you.. " I whispered as I closed my eyes
I slowly drifted off to sleep

If this doesn't make sense it's because I wrote half of it at 5 am and I'm also sick so my brain feels like mush lol
Fuck is also a word I use a lot so it's in here a lot :)
