"El? Are you there? Come in." Mike Said into the supercom. "It's been 353 days, I can't keep doing this, not knowing if you are out there has broken me. It has made me numb. If you are not in this world, then I don't want to be either. If your out there, meet me a lovers lake." "Over and out."
El quietly came out of her room, hoping not to disturb hopper, asleep in his room. She grabbed her jacket and left the cabin for the first time in almost a year. She did not know what came over her, she just New she had to see mike. It was urgent. She had no idea where lovers lake was, so she walked until she found a sign saying "lovers lake, 3km." That's close! She thought to herself, and walked down the road, ready to see mike.
MIKE
She's not coming
Stop thinking she is
She's dead
Your alone
These were only some of the thoughts in mikes head, the rest were along the same lines.
Mike took off his watch and left it with a note for El.
Eleven Hopper. You were the most important person in my life. I could not live without you, I'm sorry. If you are alive, and you find this, I love you, so much. And I am sorry you will never get to hear me say it. I leave you with my watch, I hope to see you soon.
-Mike
And with that, he eased into the lake, fully clothed, rocks in his pockets. Slowly, the water rose up... up... up... until he took his final breath and went completely under.
Eleven
Finally! She thought to herself when she started to see sand. She ran into the beach screaming for mike. "Mike! I'm here! Where are you?!?!" She frantically searched for him until she saw his watch, she ran to it and read the note. She got up and ran to the waters edge. She saw bubbles coming from the lake. She used her powers to pull whatever was making the bubbles to her, as it came to her, she saw a mob of dark brown hair and immediately knew who it was.
Mike.
