"I dump your ass."

The voice of the love of his life echoed in Mike Wheelers head as he stood in front of the mall in complete shock. He felt the world closing in on him and his vision became blurred as the tears started pouring down his cheeks. Mike felt like his life was over and he knew he couldn't live like this. Meanwhile Eleven sat on the Greyhound with her new best friend Max and she felt powerful, but that all went away when she caught a glance of Mike having a breakdown in the front of the mall.

"Don't sweat it El he has to be a man and own up to his mistakes. Maybe he'll think twice about lying again."

El and Max eventually made it back to her home in the middle of the woods and they were currently watching a soap opera, when El heard the door open. El knew it was her adoptive father Jim Hopper the chief of police and paid no mind to it.

"HEY! THREE INCH MINIMUM!
Hopper practically bust the door down expecting for Mike to be in his adoptive daughter room. Hopper froze when in fact he saw a redhead and not the teenage boy he has despised since the summer begun. Hopper immediately excused himself and walked out of the bedroom with a grin on his face. The hours passed and hopper ended up treating the girls to pizza. El and Max were talking when static came from El's supercom.
"CODE RED EL! CODE RED EL!"

Lucas and Dustin were practically screaming at the top of their lungs in unison. El had a panicked look and was about to grab the supercom when Max stopped her.

"El you can't go running the second he wants to talk; remember you dumped his ass. El you must control this situation, give him a couple of days of suffering and then talk to him.

Max was giving El a real stern but genuine look. El couldn't stand the fact that Mike could be hurting right now because of some dumb words. El's thoughts were cut off by Hopper busting in her room for the second time today with a scared look on his face.

"Do you knock creep?

Hopper ignored the insult he was just given by a fifteen-year-old child and turned to his daughter with a sympathetic expression.

"Uhh listen kid that boyfriend of yours, Wheeler, he uhh he shot himself in the head and they don't think he's going to make it."

Hopper removed his hat and put a hand on his daughters' shoulder to comfort her. El was speechless and felt empty inside.

"Come on kid, we have to go now if you want to say your goodbyes."

At that one statement right there El began crying at an uncontrollable rate and the furniture in her room started to lift off the ground. Hopper rushed Max out of the room and picked up El in his arm to put her in the truck. The crying did not cease for the whole ride and when they finally made it to the hospital, El was able to calm herself to walk in on her own, tears still coming down her face. When she finally made it to the emergency room El saw Karen, Nancy, Lucas, Dustin, Will, Johnathan, Joyce, and even Steve. They all seemed to be in a daze, and everyone had surreal looks on their faces. El decided to sit next to the rest of the party and she just cried into her hands. Seconds began to feel like minutes, minutes began to feel like hours, and hours began to feel like days. After about four hours of waiting a female doctor exited from the back and they all looked up at her, her facial expression was unreadable and El could feel the tension in the room.

"Are you all the family and friends of Michael Wheeler?"

"YES! Is my baby, okay?"

Karen was not happy at the four hour wait with not one update and it shows.

"Okay ma'am the good news is we were able to stabilize Michael and he should be fine."

The nurse paused for a minute to let everybody soak in the good news and let out their sighs of reliefs.

"Unfortunately, though, Michael has entered a coma due to the injury and head trauma and we can't seem to get a clear insight on when he might wake up. He's now open for visitors, I'll leave you all to discuss amongst yourselves, two at a time."

El immediately knew she had to see him grabbing Max by the hand and giving Mrs. Wheeler a pleading look she nodded and gave El a thumbs up. Truth is Karen Wheeler couldn't see her child like that, so she wanted to be last to enter. El was now standing at the door of her boyfriend's room hand in hand with Max as she was very hesitant to enter. Max gave her a reassuring look and they entered the room Max visually cringing when she'd seen Mike's head wrapped in bandages. El on the other hand started to feel tears well up in her eyelids at the sight of Mike incapacitated. All she wanted to do was run her hands through his curly black hair, kiss all over him, and just feel safe with him. Since Mike hadn't woken up and the hospital didn't expect him to survive the night he was still in his regular clothes, which were the same ones he had on when she dumped him. El went to grab Mike's hand when she noticed a piece of paper sticking out from his shirt pocket. She grabbed it and noticed it was an envelope and on the front it read To Eleven the love of my life. Eleven hesitated to open the letter, but she knew he had to be strong for Mike, so she opened it.

"To Eleven the love of my life, when you dumped me today, I felt the world close in on me and felt like my life had come to a stop. I felt alone and empty without you and it was a type of pain I couldn't handle it. I know I told you a lie for the first time today, but here is the truth, Nana was never sick, and Hopper felt like our relationship was unhealthy so he told me to stay away, or he wouldn't let me see you anymore. Truth be told I wanted to spend the whole day with you but, he wouldn't allow it. It breaks my heart to had seen you so upset about being lied to but, I did it for the sake of our relationship. Not once in my life did, I think I would hear those words come out of your mouth, it was painful, and I couldn't live with it. So today I decided to take my own life to free myself and I'm sorry I couldn't be stronger and more of a honest boyfriend for you. Until we meet again, Love Mike.

El felt nothing but rage and guilt and she knew the first person she'd have to confront is standing right next to her.
