Eleven glanced down at the pink watch on her wrist, tapping her foot.
It's 3:16, he's late.
As soon as the thought passed through her mind, the rumbling of a motorcycle engine filled the cul-de-sack and Mike pulled into his driveway.
She watched as he pulled off his helmet and shook out his hair, unable to help herself from thinking about the boy she used to know...and how far he's fallen since that night.
He jogged up the small hill and stood in front of her.
"You're late."
Mike huffed and looked down at his watch.
"It's 3:17. That's barely late."
She rolls her eyes. "Whatever. You've never been timely, I know that."
They look at each other for a moment, eyes drinking in each other's matured features.
"So..." Mike started. "I guess I'll start by asking, what happened to you?"
El took a deep breath before telling him her version of that night. She told him about waking up in the Upside Down, how she found the opening and climbed out of it, and how she ended up with Hopper.
"Wait, your dad is Hopper? Like Chief Hopper?"
She nods. "The very same."
"He's married to Joyce now, does that mean that Will and Jonathan knew about you?"
Uh oh.
"Yes, they knew. They've known for, uh, about two years now."
His face fell into a confused rage. "So they knew, and they didn't tell me?! What the fuck is that?!"
She flinched and squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for his explosive reaction to come, but it didn't. Instead, when she opened her eyes, she found a teary-eyed young man staring back at her. He was clearly hurt by her actions.
"I...El..."
He took a deep breath before lowering his voice and continuing, relaxing more when he saw her relax.
"I guess I can understand why Will didn't tell me, we're not really friends anymore, in case you hadn't noticed."
Eleven nodded. "Yeah, I noticed."
Mike turned to face her and reached up, almost like he wanted to hold her face, but quickly put his hand back down in his lap.
"Why didn't you come back to me? I would've kept your secret and I could've helped you."
