mike was taking pretty long and hadn't been out in about twenty minutes. i went to go check my room and mike was passed out on the floor, bandages on his arms with blood bleeding through. what had he done to himself..? i ran to him and pulled him close.
"mike please wake up!!" he breathing was faint. i looked back at his wrist and the bandages were now soaked with blood.
"JONATHAN HELP!" i yelled, and he ran into the room.
"oh shit, will come on let's get him to the hospital!" me and him picked him up and took him to jonathan's car and gently place him in the back. i went up to the front seat with jonathan and held mikes hand the whole time.
"it's gonna be okay mike." i kept repeating, i was gonna end up having a panic attack. we finally got to the hospital after a few minutes but felt like hours. why would mike do this?- we brought mike inside and we were told to wait in the waiting room. i was terrified. el and max came running into the hospital worried. i didn't explain, but jonathan did. the girls tried to talk to me, but i couldn't. if i talked i would break down into tears. everyone had fell asleep in their seats but i couldn't. nancy came in and sat beside jonathan. i just stared at the ground. it had almost been an hour. what is taking so long? i want to see mike.
"uhh, will byers? michael wants to see you." a doctor finally came out and said. i quickly got up and ran to follow the doctor. and there mike was, laying on the bed, he looked so pale and tired. i walked over to him and pushed his black curly hair out of his face.
"mike..? why..?" and there came the tears. he sat up because he was able to, it was just cuts on his body. but he could've died from blood loss. he didn't have any bandages on his arms anymore, and i gently took his hands and examined his arms.
"will, it's no big deal. i've done this before. i'll be okay." hearing mike say that breaks my heart. i sat on the side of the hospital bed with him and hugged him.
"don't say that mike. it is a big deal. i'm sorry i wasn't there for you when you-" he shushed me.
"it's okay. you're here now, plus it's my job to be there for you. and i'm always gonna be here by your side. i'll be okay. i promise." he hugged me and i felt his tears on my shirt. i hugged him tighter.
"i'm sorry mike. i'm gonna stay here with you until you get out of here." mike rubbed my back.
"i'll be out of here soon. and then we can go on our date, okay?" i smiled. a doctor walked into the room and we pulled both pulled away, and he took my hand.
"michael, you can leave tomorrow. don't do that again. i've already notified your parents and you father will be picking you up tomorrow." mikes eyes widened and i saw the fear in his eyes. i squeezed his hand tighter, and the doctor left the room. mike stared down at the bed.
"mike. i will get either my mom or jonathan to pick you up from your house. i won't let you stay there. i promise. everything will be fine." i took his hand and smiled at him. he gave me a sad smile. mike laid down and i was still holding his hand. i sat back on the chair beside the bed and moved it closer to the bed. i fell asleep holding mikes hand.
i woke up and mike was awake staring at the ceiling. his hand was shaking while i was holding it. i stood up and sat on the bed with him, he laid his head on my shoulder and i wrapped my arm around him. mike had to leave today, which is why he was so panicked. i kissed his cheek, he started to fall asleep but then his dad walked into the room.
"mike. come on we're leaving now." as mike got ready to leave, i walked outside with him and he hugged me. his father glared at me.
"bye mike. i'll see you soon. i promise." mike nodded and got into the car with his dad. i felt so bad for him, and i missed him already. they drove off, nancy and jonathan walks out and he stands beside me.
"mike won't be safe if we leave him there too long." nancy said softly, i nodded. but we'd just have to wait. mike said he'd call me. jonathan drove me and nancy back to the house. i went to my room to go lay down. i accidentally fell asleep.
