El falls asleep that night crying. Why is she crying over a boy she doesn't even get to see in real life.

Mike couldn't sleep that night. He knew he messed up... But he just didn't want to get hurt. She was definitely on a higher scale then he was. Which is why he got so defensive. He couldn't text her now. She'd never forgive him

Day went by with no texts between her and Mike. Neither one of them wanting to break.
Eric had asked El to go out a few times since. She didn't think it was a good idea. But today she broke. Mike wasn't talking to her. So fuck it! Tonight she was going out. To a party. With drinks. And she planned to drink until she couldn't remember who Mike was. Which she figured should be pretty easy seeing as he hasn't messaged her in days.

Mike's phone dinged. Facebook. Eleanor Hopper posted on Facebook.
Ughh. Why was he getting that notification. She never posts.

Mike sighed starring at the photo. Absolutely breathtaking.. and who knows who she was going with.

El showed up to the party with Eric by her side.
"You look great tonight" he whispered.
She smiled "Thank you..."
It wasn't the same. She liked it when Mike called her beautiful. Not Eric.
