Uptown Girl (An Elmax AU)

Eleven's Mixtape

Summer had finally come to Hawkins, which I was very happy about. The start of summer meant the end of school, which meant that my best friends and boyfriend would be home every day! It was so exciting to see everyone, especially Mike-my boyfriend; I love that word. Boyfriend. Mike is a very nice boyfriend. He is funny and sweet and he makes me smile, and he visits me every day. He also brought me gifts sometimes and called me or talked to me on his super-com every night.

Tonight Mike and I were on my bed kissing as we listened to something that Mike called a Mixtape. He said that it was full of songs that he had picked out just for me.

Just a little more time is all we're asking for

The person on the mixtape sang as Mike and I softly kissed, our hands brushing against each other's shoulders, necks, and faces.

'Cause just a little more time could open closing doors

Just a little uncertainty can bring you down

"And nobody wants to know you now! Dun-Dun! Nobody wants to show you-" Mike tried to sing with the mixtape.

"Mike! Mike, stop! Stop!" I softly told him as he held my hands.

"So if you're lost and on your own-"

"Mike! Stop! Mike! Mike!"

"You can never surrender!"

"Stop!" I laughed as my boyfriend tried to dance with me from his seat on the bed.

"What, you don't like it?"

"No!" Mike never failed to make me smile, no matter what he tried.

We started our kissing again as the mixtape continued its singing until...

"HEY!" Hop shouted from the living room- why was it called that anyway?- as I slammed the door to my room closed with my powers. "Hey! Three-inch minimum! Leave the door open three inches!" Mike and I quickly jumped apart and grabbed some of the comic books from beside my bed. "El, open this door. Open the-" I opened the door with my powers as Hop continued to rattle the doorknob. His face was red, and he looked very mad at us when he entered. He often did this when Mike visited, and I thought it was weird. I asked Mrs. Byers, my friend Will's mom, why he did that when she visited once; and she said it just means that he cares about me, and wants to keep me safe. Why would Hop want to keep me safe from Mike though? Mike never lied to me, and he would never hurt me.

"What's wrong?" Mike asked as Hop stood near the door to my room.

I had to lift the comic book over my face to hide my smile.

"My God, that was priceless!" Mike said over the super-com. Hop had made him leave after he saw us in my room, but Mike said he had to leave anyway to go see a movie with some of our friends and Lucas' girlfriend Max. "Did you see his face?"

"It was like a tomato!"

"Yeah, a fat tomato."

"I wish I was still with you."

"I know. Me too. But I'll see you tomorrow, all right? First thing."

"Tomorrow."

That night, like all nights, I fell asleep in my bed with the mixtape playing beside me; dreaming of tomorrow.
