Theres More Than Just Stranger Things (Mike Wheeler x Reader)

Selfish Ways

Eddie entered my house as the sky became darker. We talked and he twirled me around. I landed in his arms and o could feel his hair on my cheeks. He was everything to me. "I have to go use the restroom." He planted a kiss on the top of my head and my heart fluttered. I followed him but went into my room upon reaching the top steps. Soon after Eddie entered my room with a scared look on his face. "What's wrong?" I asked him as I stood up off my bed. "Who's clothes are those in your bathroom?" His face was stuck looking down and I could here his breaths from feet away. I could only imagine who's clothes he found. I wanted to find a way to lie but I was tired of treating Eddie like this. "There mikes." I folded my arms and faced down. "When was he here?" Eddie began to walk backwards toward my door. "The night I said I was studying. But Eddie you have to listen to me!" I looked up and before I could say anything he ran out of my room. "Eddie!" I called. Tears began to form in my eyes. I ran after him. "Eddie please listen to me!" He opened the front door and paused. "Listen? Listen to you about what! You had Mike over theres nothing more you need to say!" I could see the anger and pain in his face as he was crying too. He slammed the door behind him as he exited the house. I wanted to chase after him but I knew even if I did he would just yell at me. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. All I saw was Eddie's face and how much I had hurt him. I cried and cried and couldn't stop. I was glad my parents visited my grandma that night.

The next day I heard footsteps downstairs. "Mom, dad!" I lifted my head off my tear soaked pillow. I walked downstairs and found Mike sitting on the couch. "Mike?" I was shocked. "I got a visitor last night." He sighed. I went and sat next to him. "Eddie banged on my door last night and basically scared the living hell out of my parents. He was angry and he was crying too, he couldn't have looked worse." Mike placed his head in his hands. "He told me what he had found, he was angry but not so angry he was going to beat me to nothing though. Whatever is happening between us can't continue if your going to be with Eddie. He was so hurt it made me sick. You either need to break things off with him or not ever see me again." Mikes words were cruel to my ears. I wanted so badly to tell him off but I knew he was right. So right that I wasn't aware that Mike had gotten up and headed for the front door. "What's your answer?" He asked as he held his hand placed on the knob of the door. "I can't just let go of Eddie." I mumbled. I knew he heard as he turned the knob. "I wish things with us could've worked out." He opened the door and left without shutting it. My whole life was falling apart and I had no one to blame but myself. I had hurt two great people because I was selfish with my feelings.

I decided to call Jane. It would be a great way to get my mind off everything and no one has better advice than her. The phone rung loudly and than stopped. "Hello?" Janes voice could be heard on the other end. "Hi Jane it's Y/N. Can we hang out today?" I heard Jane's squeals on the other end. "Of course I've been dying to actually hang out with you and just you!" Jane clapped and started rambling on and on about all the things she had planned out for us. We soon ended our call and I hopped in the shower. Maybe today could get a little better.
