Sitting in Wills car in the backseat. Jane was up at the front just scrolling through her phone.
The car smelt like him, pine wood but also a mix of peppermint. Most people use peppermint to drown the smell of cigarettes. I hopped he didn't smoke.
Looking around the car, seeing it was all tidy, only a blanket bundled up in the back next to me. It was a pale yellow. Looking up into the rear-view mirror, seeing a pair of hazel eyes looking back at me.
Sinking into the leather seat, feeling my cheeks grow warm and a tinted red. Then he flashed a smile. A billion air smile, I turned my head away.
"So Mike?" The man spoke making the TikTok music pause on Janes phone. "Our house or you going to actually give me an address-"
"He's coming home with us Will." Jane turned off her phone letting it slip into a cup holder in the middle console.
"I was asking him Jane-"
"Stop trying to get him to talk to you Will."
Yeah the ride was now awkward or it was just me feeling unsettled in the back as the two step-siblings looked completely normal.

Once we parked up on the road in front of the white two story house, seat belts were undone and car doors swung open. I was the last one out of the car. Will locked it up and walked right to the front door, leaving it open for us.
Jane grabbed my hand, pull me into the house. It was the same as last time I was here. The sofa had an extra blanket on this time.
Walking more on the wooden floor, letting Jane close the door behind me. There was a man in the kitchen where I could just about see Will slip between him and the door frame to get to the stairs, hearing his light/heavy feet walking up.
"Come on let's get started, let's do biology first." Jane walked over to the breakfast bar, stilling in the right stall like last time as well.
Placing my bag on the floor, leaning over grabbing my biology book and pencil case. Sitting on the circular stall as Jane puts on music on quietly.
"Jane who's this?"
Shit I forgot about the man in the kitchen.
"Dad, this is Mike, Mike this is Jim my dad." I waved lightly. I remembered his name from somewhere then I scanned over his outfit. He's wearing tight blue jeans and a flannel shirt. He used to be Hawkins police, Hopper, well that's what I read on the news.
California was so different from there. There is too much sun here.
"Nice to meet you Mike, you better be treating my daughter right." He winks at me. That's when I released he was holding a mug in his hands as he sips on the hot liquid.
"DAD."
"Hey stop with the yelling Jane." Then he just left, looking back at me again.

Checking my phone- shit it was at one percent. I turned my whole body to Jane and tapped her thigh gently. She turned to be with crimson red cheeks looking down at my hand. I only just noticed what I did.
"Umm do you have a phone charger what I could use please?" I asked.
"Yeah- you have an iPhone right?"
"An X Yeah." I smiled sheepishly.
I hated how much richer my family was compared to hers but I knew she didn't care. She always just wanted love and friends around her. Money didn't matter to her.
"In my room." She smiled and faced back to her work sheet.
"What room is that?" I asked making her smile slightly.
"The one next to Wills."
"Right."
Thanks for the help Jane.
Walking up the round staircase only to be met with a long hall. The walls were a beige mixed with a pale green. The lights on the ceiling were a yellowish good colour and one bight one in the middle.
There was photos of the family, all in order. The more you walk up the hall the more older they got.
I couldn't help but look at Will, seeing his smile faded over time but the sexier he got- no the more broad he got. His muscles growing, slipping through his shirt. His chest poking out-
Before I knew it the bathroom door opened followed by a lot of steam. Then the tight chest I was looking in the picture was the sight in front of my eyes.
The wet splotches around his chest, slowly leaving a wet trail down. I watched one as it rolled over his harden nipple and then down to his abs, slowly going over one then the over. Seeping to his v-line getting lost in the fabric of the towel around his waist.
"Lost?" The voice made me jump making me look up at the man. His eyes boring into me, his hair letting drops of water fall to the floor next to his feet.
"J-Janes room?" I asked making him point to the door opposite us. Turing to the way his finger pointed. "Thank you."
Will walked past me and I couldn't help but watch him walk into his room. It was dark. I looked down at his body again and that's when he took off his towel letting it fall to the floor showing off his bare ass.
It looked smooth and curvy. There was also a small little mol on the left cheek.
I froze as he kicked the door closed with his foot.
After a couple of minutes I looked down at myself, the same tent in my jeans just like last time. I ran into Janes rooms. It looked like a unicorn just threw up all over the place. It was mainly pink, and some tints of black and blue.
My face said it all as it pulled a disturbing face. It was too girly- Max would die if she stepped a foot inside of here.
Walking over to her bedside table, picking out the right cord to charge my phone with. Taking the plug out and running out of her room. I stopped out of Wills door. Reaching for the doorknob slightly.
Swatting my own hand away. Slowly moving away from the white glossed door. Making my way to the stairs.
***
It was about 6pm.
Shouting was coming from upstairs making me and Jane turn to each other in confusion.
"MOM." We heard a yell.
Will came running downstairs, he looked pissed but really fucking terrified. He locked eyes with me just for a second before running to the living room.
"He won't stop." I heard him say. I peaked slightly seeing Joyce jumping out her seat walking to her son who backs up slightly. "He won't leave me alone."
"Will, hun it's okay. He can't hurt you-"
"It's non stop fucking messages after messages. He wants me to go back to fucking- mom. I can't. He's ruined my fucking life. He tried to kill us."
I heard Jane huff turning back to her work. I wanted to do the same as it's none of my business. Not wanting to intrude but I couldn't help but listen.
"Will calm down please."
"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO CALM DOWN." He yelled making me jump at the sudden voice change.
Soon there was stuff getting thrown around. Hearing his mother slightly cry. Trying to get him to calm down. Soon a sound of glass broke making everything go quiet. Only heavy breathing being hung in the air.
"I'm sorry." He whispered before making his way over to the door.
He slammed the front door shut.
Not hearing a car unlock or drive away. He must be on foot.
The house was quiet.
Joyce came into the kitchen grabbing a paper towel and wiping her under eyes what had mascara running down her cheeks.
"Why can he just leave him alone." She muttered to herself.
Hopper soon came into the kitchen grabbing the dust pan and brush. He let his hand rest on her lower back whispering into her ear just before kissing her temple.
He turn to me and Jane.
"Maybe you should leave. Come back another time." He spoke to me making me nod my head lightly. Getting up from the stall I was sitting on and picking my own books up. Unplugging my phone what was now on 69% and handing the cord to Jane.
She smiled at me.
"I know it's not any of my business." I whispered to her. "But where does Will go when he gets like this?"
"Just to an abandoned swing set. It's just round the corner of our house he's being going there ever since he was a little boy-"
Jane was cut off with a ding I from her phone. She read the email over and over, the more times her eyes lit up the more she read it. Then a squeal.
"DAD! JOYCE! MIKE! I MADE THE CHEER TEAM." She jumps holding the device close to her chest.
I knew it.
