REGRET, mike wheeler

CHAPTER 5 - INTENSE D AND D

INTENSE D AND D

(mikes pov)

I looked at y/n and she hasn't changed. Still the same face and body posture. I took a good look at her before Will waved his hand in front of my face. I zoned out looking at y/n. As we started walking out of the mall, we walked over to the bike rake and all of us picked up our bikes. I saw that y/n still had her old bike since Will went missing. The more I look at her, the more she hasn't changed. Will and y/n started creating small talk in the back while me and Lucas were deciding what to get for El. "Lucas, we only have $3.50 how do you expect us to buy chocolate and a teddy bear-" in the corner of my eye I see El with Max swapping their ice cream. I look at them in awe. "oh you gotta be shitting me" Max said. I always despised her. "isn't this a nice surprise." she said once again. I dropped my bike managing to only say, "what are you doing here?"

"Shopping"

"This is her new style what do you think?"

"What's wrong with you. you know she's not allowed to be here."

"What is she your little pet," Max shouted. El copied her saying, "yeah. am I your pet?"

"What? No"

"Then why do you treat me like garbage?"

I heard snickered in the back. Looks like y/n and Will enjoy seeing us fight.

"You said nana was sick."

"Yes she is she is sick" I lied Lucas followed along.

Then I explained to her that we were shopping for nana and for her but no success.

"You lie"

"Why do you lie? plus you have y/n back so now you can enjoy her."

"What? I don't like y/n, I like you"

"well that's a shocker," she said sarcastically. I shouldn't have said that.

Then the bus came. El hesitated but she said it.

"I dump your ass"

then they started walking off.

"can we play d and d now?"

(your pov)

I soon as we got to the Wheeler Residence, my stomach exploded with butterflies and not the good ones, thinking about our memories here. I still couldn't look Mike in the face after he said that. How could he be so insensitive toward my feelings like that?

Will was way too excited to play D and D that he even dressed up as Will the Wise.

"Do you guys hear that? It sounds like... thunder. But, no, wait. That's not thunder. It's... a horde of juju zombies!" Will said excitedly.

Sir Mike, your action."

Lucas and Mike were not interested whatsoever. They were too worried about Max and Eleven.

We play some more with disinterest and then the phone rings.

"No! It's a distraction! A trap. Do not answer it." Will yelled. He took this seriously.

"Guys, seriously wait until we're finished!" I joined in with arguing.

I've had enough. I ran up the stairs and out to the garage. "y/n wait!" Mike called from behind me. I had enough of his bullshit. "y/n you cant go, it's raining."

"Yeah, well I'm leaving so you can call your El and makeout," I said as tears formed in my eyes.

"You think you're sad? You left us alone in the tunnels and left without saying anything, we could've gotten hurt and you, you just left to your house. You left the day after the Snowball, not saying goodbye to any of us."

"You dumped me before the Snowball, who does that?" I said crying my eyes out "You're still hung up on that? Because I went to the cheesy school dance with El instead of you?"

"That dance might have not meant anything to you, but for me, I waited for the day the whole year. That dance was everything to me. And yes I might've left you guys in the tunnels, but no one acknowledged me and you forgot all about me the second Eleven stepped inside the house."

"Exactly, you seek attention every time. You wanna be in the spotlight all the time."

"This is why you are not in the party anymore.
This is why we don't want to tell you everything
This is why I don't love you anymore..."

"Mike, you don't mean that.." My face froze at his words. I couldn't take it anymore. I got on my bike and biked home. This felt like the 20th running away from him. He was never like this. He used to be sweet and cared for other's feelings.

"Y/N WAIT!!" he said. I didn't stop until I reached home. I should've stayed in California and never came back so none of this could've happened. This was unforgivable. I rode home and the rain hitting my face blended with my tears. My eyesight was slowly becoming blurry, not looking where I was going.

I eventually fell off my bike and hit my head pretty hard. My leg was bleeding and so was my hand. I started screaming and shouting waiting for someone to come and help me up. I biked far enough to reach Dustin's house, which I surprisingly remember. "HELP" "DUSTIN" "MS.HENDERSON" I yelled. After a few more yells, I see Ms.Henderson running out of her house. "Oh my gosh, y/n is that you?" She yelled. "Yes, it's me, Ms.Henderson, I fell off my bike and hurt myself pretty badly," I said still sobbing. "Oh my gosh ok dear, I'll help you here." she started by my picking up my bike and placing it on her lawn. Then she picked me up and placed my hands on her shoulders. "thank you so much, Ms.Henderson." I said slightly feeling better. I was still trying to comprehend what just happened between me and Mike. He was my first crush. My first real crush. I've known him since kindergarten. He was my first friend, and so was I. After that we met, Will then Lucas then met Dustin in 4th grade. After that Max then El.

After Ms.Henderson gave me an ice-pack and cleaned my wounds, we started talking about California. Ms.Henderson was one of the first people to know about us moving. After Max, she told Lucas then Dustin then Mike. After that, they all told their mothers. Mrs.Wheeler was devastated because she really liked me as one of Mike's friends instead of Troy's troublemaker sister. Ms.Henderson and my mom were friends until Troy attempted to kill Dustin and take out his teeth. But their mothers still liked me.

"So uh, did you make new friends in California?" she asked. "um, I had a couple of close friends, but they turned out to be back-stabbers. Other than that, I had no other friends there. Some 'friends' here can be rude and mean too, but I mean I like some are really sweet like Dustin, and Will." She looked confused. "wait are not friends with Mike Wheeler or Lucas Sinclair?" she asked curiously. "well, I was but now we kinda got in a fight. I don't know how it's gonna turn out but I guess we'll see." "is Dustin not home?" I asked "oh he's with some friends at Starcourt, they're trying to decode some foreign language. Looks like he's also not hanging out with them as well. who knows"

"well, I'm feeling better now, I should go visit Dustin and say hi to him. Thanks for everything, Ms.Henderson." I said limping out of my seat and to the door. "of course, want me to drive you there? You obviously can't ride your bike."

"oh, thank you so much, I would love that," I said, yet I was still pretty traumatized as to what Mike said.
