Synopsis/plot: El takes a pregnancy test
(Age 20)
........................................................................
El sat on the bathroom counter top holding a piece of plastic that could change her life forever, she didn't know what to say or do, she just stood there and looked at it.
Mike stood outside of the bathroom, "El? Knock knock, you in there?"
She dropped the test on the floor, "Uh- yeah.. one second!"
"Okay," he walked away from the wooden door.
El bent over to pick up the test, still no results. Her goosebumps felt like Braille, her palms were cold and sweaty, and her cheeks were as red as her nosebleeds. El bounced her leg and waited for an answer, she didn't know what to do if the test was positive or negative. What if she was just ill? Or what if she was pregnant?! She was only 20 what would she do? Hopper would blow up!?
She took another look at the pregnancy test, two lines had formed.
She stared at the test thinking of whether to be happy or upset, she didn't know what to think. What would Mike think?! Crystalline tears fell from her hazel eyes, she threw the test in the trash can and wiped her tears away.
"I'm back," She sniffed.
Mike noticed something was wrong, but what was it? "Hey! You okay?" He asked.
She nodded and sat on their bed next to him.
He smiled, "okay well I need to use the restroom real quick so-"
"WAIT-" she interrupted him. "Uh- there isn't any soap in that one.."
He knew she was hiding something so he purposely went inside the bathroom and looked around, El followed him.
"Uh- El?" He asked.
She nodded, "yes..?"
"Are you gonna watch me pee or something?-" he laughed.
She got irritated with him, "Shut up."
"Okay, okay, but why are you in here?" He smiled.
She started to quiver, "well- I don't know."
"Really?" He raised an eyebrow.
She nodded.
"Okay, well I'll be out there in a second-" he proceeded to walk further into the bathroom but then he looked at the trashcan.
He turned to her, "El?"
Streams of tears fell from her eyes she never looked so scared in her life.
Mike kneeled down to kiss to poor girl, "what's wrong?" He frowned.
Eleven tugged at the bottom of her silky pajamas, "I'm sorry."
"What?" He questioned.
El shook her head, she didn't know what to say.
Mike started smiling, "I'm gonna be a dad!"
El looked at him and thought how ridiculous he looked, "yeah. I guess."
"Well I need to pee- stay there! I love you El! I'll be out in a second." He ran to the bathroom and slammed the door making some of the things on their dresser fall onto the floor.
