                         6 Months Ago
I get up as I hear the phone ring which I know is Mike since he told me he would be calling me at 6:30 and it is 6:00 but he usually calls early which I find so genuinely sweet!

As I get the phone I feel so ecstatic since our phone calls haven't been very frequent considering he's been busy with the party I believe.

I pick up the phone to reveal Mikes voice but it sounds so withered as he simply says "Hey El how was your day?"  I straightforwardly reply "pretty shit." I say due to the fact that I got an f on my algebra  test.

"El... I'm gonna get straight to the point and i am so so so fucking sorry but I-I-I cheated on you with Kelly.. the cheerleader Max told you about. I was influenced by her she was like a drug. El words cannot explain how sorry I am do you think you can forgive me?" He says lowly

I'm just frozen on spot as I hear those words that just replay in my mind over and over again constantly. 'I cheated on you' 4 words that caused El to start sobbing uncontrollably and lose vision due to the tears. " No. No, I will not get back with you Mike. I have been nothing but good to you and this what you do to me? I thought I was good enough to be a thought in your mind while I was not. Apparently, another girls actions took over your mind because she was a 'drug''. That shouldn't fucking matter Mike I am.. I was your girlfriend you should've thought of me instead of her." I say in a derogatory manner right before hanging up.

I simply just run to my room before sobbing and quickly falling into a thoughtful and restless slumber.

Flashback over

I wake up with a wet pillow due to the fact that I kept waking up sobbing, every hour. Those 4 words 'I cheated on you' just simply cannot leave my mind and it hurts so fucking bad despite it being 6 long months since Mike and I have spoken. Will has been keeping me comforted by not speaking about him, so has Joyce and Jonathon which I am so grateful for.

After a quick shower I leave my hair down passing the flat iron slightly just for a nice straighter and shinier effect, I slip on my light green jeans and slightly cropped white shirt. Grabbing my backpack and sweater I quickly go down the steps to be met with silence and Joyce making pancakes. I realize Jonathan along with Will are no where to be seen meaning Jonathan has most likely gone off to school early while Will is most likely still caught in a slumber due to it being only 6:45.

Joyce catches my eye a second before she finishes the last pancake, quickly putting it onto a plastic plate and handing it to me. "Good morning!" I say with a smile walking to the table then putting my pancakes in front of me then sitting down.

"Good morning" Joyce replies happily. I do not understand how the fuck she is so happy at 6:45 am in the morning AND on a Monday?  A FUCKING MONDAY. But that's just my thoughts right now I guess.

I am halfway through my second pancake when  Joyce says her goodbyes then quickly leaves off to her job.   

I clean up my pancakes leaving the rest of them out for Will once his lazy ass wakes up.

But I guess I spoke to soon since I see him come down the steps quickly taking a seat and taking a big bite into his pancake while I just continue to browse through different tv channels.

"Morning?" He says sarcastically since I didn't say it first. "Morning" I say with a huff.

"I heard you getting up at like 4 am. Bad dream?" I say with honesty since I did hear him ruffling around with cereals probably picking one out.  "No just hunger and I couldn't sleep. But how did you know that if you weren't up?" He says with a smirk I just know he was smirking. "When am I not up at that time?" I say genuinely because it's so hard to sleep now without memories of Hopper and Mike coming to mind.
