Binary Star ~MILEVEN AU~

chapter nine

'Even if there wasn't gravity on earth, I would still fall for you.'

Eleanor sighed, satisfied, as she snuggled her head further into Mike's bare chest, feeling him rest his cheek on her honey waves. The sun was glistening into the room as the phone went off for the hundredth time that morning. Afternoon to be exact.

"Mike!", Nancy calls out as she shook his shoulders with force.

Mike groaned, slapping her hand away making her sigh in frustration.

"Eleanor! Your dad's been trying to call you all morning!", she claps, earning nothing in response.

That's when she lost it. She used the pillow that was rested underneath her brother's head to hit them right on their faces, yelling.

"GET UP YOU TWO!"

"Nancy!", Mike whined in annoyance, kicking his legs like a child.

"Wha-What time is it?", Eleanor mumbled, half awake.

"Its almost noon! Your dad's been trying to call you all morning! He must be worried sick!", Nancy exclaimed, handing Eleanor her phone. Eleanor's eyes widened in shock as she removed her head from her boyfriend's chest.

"62 missed calls?!", she read out, shaking her head in horror. Mike gasped, groaning after, running his hand down his face. "Fucking hell."

Eleanor quickly slipped her shoes on, Mike doing the same, sliding his t-shirt over his head before grabbing his girlfriend's hand and dragging her downstairs.

"Good luck!", Nancy waved at the couple, knowing that this wasn't going to end well.

Eleanor hopped off the bike as they reached the Hoppers' residence, seeing her dad stood in the porch with a cigarette stuck in between his lips.

Hopper's eyes filled with anger and rage as the threw the cancer stick on the ground, stamping it with his foot before approaching his daughter.

"WHAT THE HELL, ELEANOR?!", he roared, making Eleanor step back, terrified.

"I've been trying to reach you all day and you were-", he stopped himself as his eyes landed on the curly-headed boy, standing not too far behind his daughter. "-goofing around with Wheeler.", he finished, his dark eyes stuck on Mike.

"Dad-", Eleanor tried to stop him but with his yelling made it impossible to.

"I can't believe you snuck out to have sex with this guy!", he barked, veins popping out of his forehead like it was about to explode.

"We didn't have sex! I called her, okay?", Mike a snapped back, having had enough with his outrage. Hopper stabbed him with his glare as he walked up to him, pulling him by his collar, their faces inches away.

"Do not fucking talk to me like that. Understand?." he growled, his face growing darker by the minute.

"Dad, can we talk about this inside, please? Please?", Eleanor begged with pleading eyes as the panic in her body grew.
