El was looked at the paper as her blood started to boil and tears started to fall.
"Why did you tell me to dump his ass? Why didn't you tell me this could happen? Why do you treat my boyfriend like SHIT when all he does is care for me!"
El was screaming at the top of her lungs at the redhead standing next to her and Max was completely in awe. El stormed out of the room putting the paper in her pocket. She returned to the waiting room to see the shocked faces of her friends and the parents that were there. El plopped back down in her seat, no one dared to speak a word to her, they did not need every window in the hospital to break.
"I think we should go." Hopper stood up finally breaking the silence.
El didn't acknowledge anyone and she just stormed out of the hospital heading towards the truck of Chief Jim Hopper. She couldn't understand how three words could send Mike over the edge to kill himself. El had to know why he did what he did, she was confident there was more to the story. The drive was silent and uncomfortable, El seeing a clear look of guilt on Hopper's face but she knew if she wanted to confront him, she had to know what it was he said. The car came to a halt as they arrived at the very familiar entrance to the woods on the side of the highway.
"Hey kid if you want to talk, I'm he—."
Hopper was cut off by El using her powers to bring the T.V in her room and slamming the door after the TV was fully in her room. El knew she had never tried to look at people's memories, but she had to give it a go for Mike. She flipped to a channel with static and put on a blind fold with one thing on her mind Mike. El quickly found herself in the very familiar void as she started to hear voices.
"Michael how are you feeling today" A strange man asked Mike as they were seated across from each other in some type of office.
"Well to be honest Doc I feel depressed. I'm constantly picked on and nobody treats me special and I just don't want to be here anymore." A small boy who was clearly Mike in between the age of seven and eight said this before breaking down into tears.
El had to swallow a lump n her throat as the memory faded and another started to come in.
El watched as twelve-year-old Mike who she recognized stood in his bathroom and started cutting himself with a razor blade.
"Why doesn't anyone treat me like I'm special, why doesn't anyone make me feel like I have a purpose to live." Mike was practically sobbing as he continued to cut himself.
The memory faded away and El had tears streaming down her face as the next one started to fade in.
"Doc if were being completely honest my girlfriend El she saved my life. She was the light, the purpose, and my strive to live. If I lost her Doc, I wouldn't be able live life as it is. I haven't told her because I don't know if she feels the same way, but I love her Doc."
Mike said this and El knew it had to be this year because they've only ben officially dating for five months. El thought about the words had Mike had confessed to a man who was clearly his therapist and broke completely down as the next memory started to fade in.
"Listen kid, I don't know how you are manipulating my daughter to move at your every command, but it stops now." A furious Hopper said while driving.
I'm not manipulating her. Mike shot back defensively catching the chief of police off guard.
Hopper pulled over and instantly jacked Mike up.
"Look you little shit if I catch you my house tomorrow or any other day this week, I will make it my mission that you never see El again. Hopper said this clearly pissed by Mike's tone in his previous statement.
The memory faded away and all she could feel was anger, with a little bit of hate for the man only one door away from her. The next memory faded in and she could see Mike sobbing in his room as he wrote letters with Nancy's revolver next to him. He walked out of the room and handed a letter to his mother who was cooking, and he ran back to his room and put the gun to the side of his head.
"I love you El, but I can't live without you."
"Michael no!"
There was a loud noise as El watched Mike pull the trigger in front of his own Mother. She had clearly read the letter and tried to stop him but was a second to late. Mike's body laid on the floor lifeless and limp as a puddle of blood started to form. The memory faded away and El was now sobbing on her knees as she had to watch Mike endure so much pain. She was quickly back in the void as a hospital bed was visible in the distance. She practically ran up to it and sighed seeing that it was only Mike in his current state.
"Mike I'm sorry and I want you to know I- I love you too.
El gasped as Mikes hand stated to twitch and his eyes started to flutter open, and he slowly turned hi eyes in her direction.
"El?"
