Eleven
It's been 5 years since she disappeared. I miss her Horribly. I'm 17 now and I still don't have a girl friend. I don't think I ever will if they're even the slightest of her being out there. Dustin is dating Max, Will is dating a girl named Lily, and Lucas is dating a girl named Alex. None of us have changed, but they all dress differently I never stopped dressing the way I did and I have had the same hair style for years, I want El to recognize me if she ever comes back.
I was always afraid to look for her so I never did. But now I have been planning a 1-man search party for almost 4 months now. I'm going to go tomorrow night. I'm really scared what if I can't find any gates? What if El is not in Hawkins? What if…. she's dead… Oh I couldn't even imagine that *Chokes back tears* "Don't worry Mike, you'll find her." I kept telling myself. And I had almost lost hope at that point so if I hadn't left the next night I would have lost all hope and given up. And I'm glad I didn't. J
