Twos to a heart

The game of love

This is part two of "Twos to a heart" it consists of a lot of cool plot lines and a cliffhanger! This chapter is a bit longer than the last but not by much, sorry for not updating! I've been super busy sense im in a theatre production at the moment but anyways Trigger warnings: harsh language (nothing bad just some insults) pain, mention of depression and the town breaking down (I think that's all as always let me know if I shoukd add anything else.). Please Enjoy "the game of love"

The sun is high now, So is Jonathon I don't understand why nobody can tell it's very obvious. So here we are, Me, Mike, Jonathon, Mom and El cramed in the wheelers car that we are borrowing for the day. I guess we're going to the arcade, great. We are meeting Dustin and Lukas there but to the looks of it Lukas isn't coming, some emergency max situation.

I look at Mike hopefully, god he's so pretty. He looks at El, I look away less hopeful. "Soooo boys" mom starts , El jolts toward her "plus el.. what's the best game at the arcade?" " I really like dig dug, still" Mike commented now looking out the window, I wonder how to become one.

Mom parks into the third rouged parking space,so warn away you can barely tell it's there anymore. We all unload from the car one after another, I say goodbye to mom and head toward the warn down building. Memories flood my head, I remember this place, I had a vision here. "Will? Will are you alright?" Mikes innocent words rang through his head just like that night. That night... that night was the night Mike helped him through it all, god that was just the beginning. I look over at Mike, he doesn't seem to remember. "It's only me, only me".

Everybody runs of somewhere to do their own thing, I don't, sitting alone again. The thoughts of me and Mikes childhood together flood my head like a Florida hurricane. "Crazy together" he said, now I'm going crazy, but Mike is falling threw my fingers like sand. Funny how people make promises just to forget them. How he promised to stay by my side? No,Not anymore. I scan the Arcade for Mike, I spot him in the back corner with El. It's always El isn't it? I wonder how to morph into her, just for a day, maybe I'd have a chance.

Suddenly the arcade door opens and I see Dustin, he looks around at first probably looking for somebody he recognises. "Dustin?" I say, he spins around quickly and his eyes light up when he sees me. "Will!! Hi! How've you been?" Dustin says, now sitting next to me "uhhh well I've been alright, getting used to stuff again is kinda hard" I look away awkwardly, I haven't seen Dustin in awhile. "Oh, I can understand that, I bet you'll adjust again soon enough!" He says smiling at me again "yeah, what about you?" I say looking back at Mike. "Good! Things have been alright other than the whole town falling apart thing" Dustin said still smiling, I wonder how he's always so positive about everything "oh yeah, I heard they've been fixing the library?" I commented now more interested in the conversation "yeah! It's almost fixed and glad it is. I have this book reserved and I'm sure it's late by now, is anyone else here?" He said looking around, I laughed a bit." I think your book is gonna be fine dustin and yeah everyone's here but Lukas, I'm sure you can guess why" Dustin's face had a concerned expression on his face then he stood up "well, nice seeing you again will,I'm gonna go find the others wanna join me?" "Im fine here, thank you though" "okay! See you later!" Dustin said walking away.

Left alone again, great. The sounds and smells of the arcade is overwhelming me so I thought I'd take a step outside but as I turned around for a second I saw a nasty glare coming from Mike, fuck. He's probably mad at me again. I quickly stood up and scurried toward the door. The cool fall breeze hitting me suddenly gave me goosebumps as I sat on the lonely wooden bench. I stared into the distance wondering why I agreed to come here, it was nice seeing everybody again its just... all so much to take in. The place I've lived forever has been fractured now and im ruining my own friend ships with the only people that ever made a attempt to hang out with me. My life is being torn apart and pulled away from me like the rips on my jeans.

The arcade door quickly flung opened revealing a agitated Mike, he looked around quickly before he spotted me and started stomp-walking over to me. Oh no. "What is wrong with you?" He said In a loud tone. "Nothing, why" I said looking at my shoes "why? Your asking, you've been in a shit mood all day thats why, today is supposed to be fun and your ruining it" he said again, ouch. I stood, "ever even stop to think that maybe im having a bad day and i don't wanna be here again? This arcade holds a lot of memory's that you wouldn't understand Mike." I commented "no will, that's the thing your NEVER
In the mood for anything anymore its annoying, your always acting shitty now a days" "yeah Mike im not happy here, i don't wanna be in your little sisters room in a town where I get harassed every second of the day" Mike stood for a moment and had a funny expression on his face "well maybe i don't want you here anyways" my face dropped and my eyes started to water. Leave... leave... LEAVE he DOSE NOT want you here, it would be better if you were gone. I listened and I ran as fast as I could, I could here Mike shouting for me but i didn't care, the wind stung my teary eyes as I ran toward a place I "belonged"
