Nothing More- Mike Wheeler

Lando

Dustin and I were on the couch while Mike was helping Eleven freshen up in the bathroom. The both of us were exhausted from running for our lives.

"Thanks for almost dying for me, I knew you loved me," I turned to Dustin and he gave me his big goofy smile that I love. 

"Of course I love you, I would do anything for our party." Dustin came closer to me and gave me a big hug. This was the happiest I felt in the last couple of days. This week has been such a shit show. I hope nothing ruins this moment.

A sound from Mike's walkie interrupted our moment. We both got up and held the walkie to our ears. We looked at each other once we heard Lucas' voice. "You don't think he found it do you?" 

I ran over to the bathroom and whipped it open. Eleven and Mike extremely close to each other, it looked like how Mike and I almost kissed the other day. 

I'm so glad I interrupted them

"G-guys! Lucas is on the Walkie, it keeps cutting in and out but we think he found the gate."

Mike walked passed me leaving Eleven and I staring at each other. I shouldn't be mad at her because she has no idea that I have had a crush on Mike forever, but I just can't help being angry. I'm just glad I didn't catch their kiss because who knows how I would've reacted.

I turned around and walked over to the walkie.  "Lucas if you hear us, slow down, we can't understand you,"

"Yes, I copy! Do you? They know about Eleven! Get out of there! They know about Eleven! The bad men are coming! All of them! Do you hear me? The bad men are coming!"

Dustin turned to me, "Mad hen? Does that mean anything to you?"

His voice blared through the speaker, all choppy again, but I was able to make out what he was saying, "Bad Men. The bad men are coming!" Mike and Dustin ran up the stairs while Eleven and I stayed downstairs. I was running around putting everything in my backpack we might need. I grabbed Mike's walkie, I hid a knife in the basement once in case anything happened, I'm not sure why I did that but I'm glad I did. I grabbed some of the snacks that Dustin laid out on the table, and I brought an extra wrist rocket. 

"Guys come on! Let's go" Dustin's voice came from upstairs.

I grabbed Eleven's hand and ran up the stairs. We headed to the backdoor to meet the boys. I couldn't get on the back of Dustin's bike, this was life or death and I couldn't drag Dustin's bike down. I have no idea where my bike is, my mind is scrambled from hitting my head. Luckily, Nancy's old bike was near me. The last time I saw her ride this bike was before she started high school, before she was too cool for me.

We looked to our left and saw a tall man with white hair walking towards us, his minions following closely behind him.

"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!" We rushed in the opposite direction, and the tires screeched behind us, making it known we were being followed.

"Dustin! Dustin, do you copy?" Lucas' voice came out of the walkie, "Yeah, Lucas, they're on us."

"Where are you guys?"

"Cornwallis."

"Meet me at Elm and Cherry!" 

"Copy, Elm and Cherry!"

The vans were close behind us, "Shit, shit, shit! Guys, they're right behind us," I want to cry, I can't move any faster, I feel trapped.

Mike cut a corner, "This way, come on!"

We ended up in a backyard, there were two girls playing patty cake, and Dustin was about to run into them both, "Out of the way! Out of the way!"

I looked back at the girls after we passed them, "Sorry!"
