Knock... knock... knock... KNOCK!

"WHAT?!" Mike yelled at he sat up in his bed, his curls falling in front of his face. The door opened to reveal his mother.

"Micheal, you need to go to school today. You've missed way too much, it's unacceptable." Karen said firmly with her hand on her hip. Mike pulled the covers over his head and groaned.

"I can't mommmmmm." Mike said, his voiced muffled from the covers.

"You're going." She said closing the door behind her.

"FUCK!" Mike yelled pushing the blankets off his bed. He sat there with his head in his hands. He felt like shit all the time. He had no motivation to do anything. It was now 1986, 6 months after El and Will had left. Mike was in absolute agony, the only thing that made it ok was knowing that he could call her every day after school.

He pushed down his feelings and got ready for the day. He met Dustin at the front of the school.

"Ready my lord?" Dustin asked bowing to the tall boy. Mike just rolled his eyes and walked past Dustin and into the school.

*California*

"El, you need to get up now. You're going to be late." Will said with the door slightly open. El groaned and sat up.

"Do I have to go?" El said as Will shook his head.

"Come on, it'll be over soon." Will said as El stood up and got herself ready. Will and El have gotten pretty close since the move to California. They didn't really have anyone else. She has been struggling a lot in school, the social and academic parts. She thought about Hopper daily, he was always on her mind. She just had to push through until 4:00pm, her daily phone call with Mike and sometimes Max.

Will and El were in all the same classes so it was a little more bearable. They arrived to their classes and sat in their seats.

"Hey... Jane..." A girl whispered to El behind her. El turned and it was Angela..... she absolutely hated her.

"So i got a call from your boyfriend, he said he doesn't want to be with you anymore." Angela said laughing and in a mocking tone. El just rolled her eyes and continued on with her day.

The second El got home she ran to her walkie. She checked the time on her clock... 4:00pm. A split second after she heard a deep raspy voice come from the walkie.

"El?"

"Mike thank god. I miss you so much." El said falling back onto her bed.

"I miss you too. How was your day?"

"It was fine, boring. I just wish you were here."

"Me too."

"How was your day?"

"Fucking boring, it would be so much better if you were here."

"Language Micheal."

"Sorryyyyyy." Mike said laughing. Suddenly El heard a high voice.

"Max go away, i'm talking to her." She heard from the other line.

"No she's my best friend."

"And she's my girlfriend so i have top priority." Mike said.

"Let me talk to her for a second?" El said softly

"Ok" Mike said not wanting to say no to her. He handed the phone to Max and the girls talked for a while. After a bit Max left and it was just Mike and El.

"El?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"57 more days."

"57"
