Hi! Here is another chapter! I'm super excited for this one! This is about Mike telling the others what happened that night at the school, before El disappeared with the demogorgan. Also, if you have any ideas or requests for me, that'd be great! I love hearing your ideas and getting inspiration from them. Enjoy!

*Spoilers from season two, episode two*

Mike's P.O.V

"Well what happened then?!" Lucas said pushing My temper. My hands curled into fists and my jaw clenched so tightly that it hurt.

"Yeah! Come on Mike! We deserve to know." Dustin yelled. Will nodded in agreement. I felt like screaming out. It hurt every part of me to think about that night. But it also made my heart swell in the thought.

"Come on!" They all chanted in unison. I felt my face get hot with anger.

"It doesn't matter!" I shouted. It had been 276 days since El left. 'No! Not left. Just went away for a while.' I had to keep telling myself that to keep me sane. I wanted to shout and scream and curl up in her fort holding the super com and cry. Everyone being in the room demanding answers was overwhelming.

"It doesn't matter..." I said softly. "Not anymore." I felt defeated.

"Yes. Yes it does. We are your friends. We deserve to know." Dustin said simply. I took a sharp breath and sighed. 'Can't they see that it kills me to talk about this?'

"Okay." I gave up. They smiled triumphantly. I scowled.

"While you two were getting pudding, I talked to El and umm... asked her to the snow ball." I felt like I was being stabbed in the heart. Like I was melting away. All I wanted was El. To see her again. To see her small smile, and her eyes! Those shimmering hazel eyes that carried so much emotion. I felt like I was forgetting them.

"You what!?" Dustin exclaimed in surprise.

"I knew it! I knew you liked her!" Lucas said pumping a fist in the air. Will smiled and chuckled. He tried to act like it was a good thing, but I could see the fear in his eyes. Every little time, a comment or the slightest reference was made about that week. It was hell for him. I mean... it was hell for us too. I simply nodded as they danced around the room chanting "Mike loves Eleven! Mike loves Eleven!" Over and over.

"Is that all?" Will asked, curiosity getting the best of him. I mumbled a no. Dustin and Lucas whipped around and shut their mouths to listen.

"W-we, Uh... kissed." A second of silence, then an uproar.

"You did what?!"

"Wait What?! I can't believe it!"

"Wow. Mike!"

"You kissed a girl before me?!"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I can't believe you like Eleven!"

I couldn't take. The questions. The judgement. Not even their expressions. I jumped up from my spot on the couch and stomped up the basement stairs as quickly as possible and ran straight to my room, Slamming my door shut. I thought about locking my door for a second. Eleven had locked that door. 'Damn it! Why does everything remind me of her?!'

I threw myself on my bed and let a couple tears escape my heavy eyelids. I buried my face in my pillow. I wished everything would just go away. I sighed. A gently knock came from the outside of the door. I didn't say anything. Slowly, it creaked open, to reveal Dustin's head.

Without talking, the three of them shuffled into my room. Lucas sat on the edge of the bed. Will sat down in the desk chair and watched me carefully. Dustin was the first to speak.

"Mike... I'm- We are really sorry about rushing you. We didn't know you had this kind of relationship with El."

"Well..." Lucas started to speak, but got instead a harsh glare from Dustin. I gave a small nod. I still wanted to hide away from the world.

"Mike the point is, we are all here for you. You're our friend and part of the party. You can tell us stuff." Will said standing up and walking over the me. I sat up. I started to feel a little better.

"You good?" Lucas asked. I nodded.

"So... What was the kiss like?" Dustin asked with a goofy grin. For the first time for what felt like forever, I smiled.

"It was..."

That night...

El's P.O.V

The static rings in my ear. The odd black and white fuzz on the TV makes me dizzy. I pull the black cloth from my coat pocket. "Mike." I whispered. I tie the cloth around my eyes creating a wall of darkness. I don't like darkness. It's scares me. It reminds me of being with papa. And the bad men. I shake the thought away.

I sigh and focus on Mike. His face. His hair. His eyes. His smile. His voice. Then, there he was. In my fort. He still kept it up. For 276 days. I smiled and started to walk towards him. The slash of water make sure my ankles cold. Then I hear him.

"Hi El. It's me. Mike. It's day 276... Uh 11:39 p.m. I know that you're out there. If you can here me, please give me a sign. Even the smallest. Just so I know you're okay. I care about you to much, El. I need to know. Anyway, today was a boring day. I rode my bike. And slept. And ate. That's about it. I did talk to Lucas, Dustin, and will today. They asked me about what we talked about at the school. You know... that night. I told them about the snow ball. If-When you come back, I still promise to take you to the snow ball. I won't ever take anyone else. Only you... sound okay? Promise me that you'll answer if you can hear me? Okay... goodnight El. Stay safe. Be strong. I will never give up on you."

Tears ran down my cheeks. I want to hold his hand. My hand itches to touch it. But I know it's not real. That makes me cry harder. I whisper his name. Then say it firmly. Then I scream it. I hate. HATE, how he can't answer me back. All I want is him. Nothing more. Hopper won't let me. I cry.

I take off the cloth. Tears stain my cheeks. I feel empty. Nothing is left. The odd black and white fuzz makes me dizzy again. The static once again rings in my ear.

Sorry for the feels. Hehe. I will post again soon. Please give me some ideas. Until next time,
