Summary
“Come to NYU,” he says. Mouth moving before he really knows what he’s saying, what he’s offering. Thinking not about Mom, or Mike, or the ghosts of this town, but of himself, and what he wants. “With me. You and Lucas. Let’s all go. I’m sick of Hawkins.”
(or: will byers and the art of moving on.)

Summary
Family is not always who you are born with. Family is not always blood. Family is who you die for. Family is who you live for. And this is what Max lives for: Will’s quiet shy smiles, Dustin’s toothy laughter, Mike’s eye rolls, and El’s look of wonder at a good story. She lives for Steve’s hair ruffles and affectionate dumbass, delivered with a smile.

Summary
Suddenly, all at once, the grief hit her in a wave so fierce that her knees buckled. A sob tore itself from her lungs as she crumbled to the floor, her skateboard slipping from her fingers and hit the tile with a loud clatter. Mike jolted and grabbed her as she fell, and without really thinking, she latched onto her friend and hid her face in his shoulder.
Billy was dead.
Billy was really dead.
Mike’s arms wrapped around her after a few seconds, his chin now resting on her shoulder as she sobbed into his.
It felt like she was dying.
Or
Max and Mike find comfort in each other after witnessing Billy's death.
