(Sorry For The Wait Guys Been Busy With School Starting More Chapters Coming This Weekend!)
Lucas and Will searched the Wheeler house for a pillowcase, rubber bands, and rice. The heated up the rice in the microwave and placed it in the pillowcase. Lucas used the rubber bands to seal off the diy heating pad. Will and Lucas walked downstairs and Will gave it to Eleven.
"Here El this should help with the pain." Lucas explained.
El replied, "Thanks guys."
"No problem. We are always here for you. We are your friends." Lucas stated.
"Yeah. We always have your back." Will stated.
Eleven replied, "You guys are the best."
Meanwhile, Dustin knocked on Audrey's door. She answered fairly quickly.
"Hey Dustin what's up?" Audrey asked,
"Well you see…" Dustin stuttered.
Audrey said, "C'mon Dustin what's bothering you?"
"I need you to assist me in helping Eleven." Dustin stated.
She replied, "Why me? You know her better than me."
"Well she kinda just got her woman thingy and we are trying to make her feel better. I was asked to get snack and I thought maybe you'd know what she'd like since you are a girl." Dustin explained.
"Oh I see. Okay let's go to the store. I know exactly what to get her." Audrey said. Dustin was relieved she agreed to help and they headed to the store.
At the same time, Mike had just arrived at the store. He made his way to the feminine aisle and stood confused there was so much to choose. Of course he had no idea what to get he was a guy. Just then Troy walked into the store and Mike ducked down. Unfortunately, Troy saw him as he was trying to squat down.
"Oh look who it is Frogface. Where is Midnight and Toothless?" Troy asked.
Mike replied, "None of your business. Shut up and leave me alone."
"We always knew you were a girl Wheeler. You proved us right standing in the girl section." Troy stated.
"Troy you are so lame I'm trying to be a good boyfriend here." Mike yelled and then covered his mouth realizing he just told El's secret.
Troy knocked over some of the product in front of Mike and said, "Oh you are here because of the freak. Well goodbye Wheeler."
Mike began to pick up what Troy had pushed down when Joyce who worked there spotted him.
"Umm. Mike what are you doing in this aisle?" Joyce asked.
"Trying to be helpful." Mike said.
Joyce asked, "Wait. Are you here for El?"
"Yes. But there are so many options I'm confused. I have no idea what to get her." Mike explained.
"Oh, tell her I said congratulations! Ummmm… these should work." She said as she pointed to a hot pink package. She picked it up, rang it up at the counter, and placed some of her money in the cash register.
"Thanks !" Mike said, because of her help and because she paid for the stuff.
"Oh and Mike I know she would love some cuddles from her boyfriend." Joyce suggested.
"How did you…" Mike began to say.
Joyce interrupted, "Mother's intuition I guess."
Mike passed Dustin and Audrey as they entered the store. Audrey lead Dustin to the aisle with candy. Audrey took a while to decide what she thought El would like. Dustin just stared while waiting for Audrey.
"I bet El would like this the best." Audrey stated. She picked up a box of chocolates and Dustin picked up some chocolate pudding also.
"Thanks Abi! You are always helpful. I love you." Dustin said.
"I love you too Dustin. You are such a sweet guy to help your friend with this." Audrey stated.
Dustin replied, "If you ever need anything I'm here. Even if it's girl related."
"Thanks I mean it's actually my time of the month too. I would love some snuggles later." Audrey begged.
"Of course Audrey. I'll come back to your house after I give this stuff to Eleven." Dustin agreed.
Joyce praised Dustin at the counter for being such a good friend to Eleven and then paid for their stuff too. They thanked her and headed back towards Audrey's house to drop her off.
Back at the Wheeler's house Mike had just arrived and was heading down to the fort El was resting in. He saw that Eleven looked like she was sleeping. He sat the bag down gently trying not to wake her. El opened her eyes to see Mike as he was trying to go upstairs.
"Mike." El said.
"Sorry El. I was trying not to wake you." Mike stated.
Eleven replied, "It's okay Mike."
"Your stuff is over there." Mike said pointing to the bag beside the fort.
"Thank you." El said.
Mike replied, "Ummm...El I want you to know you can talk to me about anything even girl stuff. If you ever need anything I'm here even if I have to face Troy at the store again."
"I love you Mike." Eleven said and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"I love you too Eleven" Mike stated.
She replied, "Well there is one thing I need if you don't mind."
"Whatever it is I'm here El." Mike stated.
"Will you lay in here with me?" She asked.
He replied, "Of course El."
Mike got into the fort and Eleven rested her head on his shoulder. She held him close and the both of them fell asleep. Dustin woke up Mike five minutes later while bringing the snacks for El. He left quickly to go back to Audrey.
The next day there spring break continued like normal. It was filled with popsicles, movies, ice cream, and D&D. Sadly, Monday had came and it was time for the boys to go back to school and Eleven to return to her tutoring. Nancy was also supposed to return to school but...
