Will Pov
It's been a few hours since El and Mike fought.
I'm glad Mike finally told her. Well, he didn't even tell her. She just saw. And honestly, I'm pissed that he didn't tell her sooner. He cheated on her. But I can't help but think it's my fault. Isn't it?
I should have told her.
But I didn't.
'Cause I'm a shitty friend. I try to distract myself from my current thoughts so I just ask the first question that pops up in my head.
"How far are we from Hawkins?" I ask.
"We're about, uh-uhm, couple days, hehe, you know?" Jonathan slurs.
Right. He's still high.
"No, dude, it's a couple years, remember? Hah, this idiot." Argyle says back.
Mike and I just look at each other and scoff, confused.
"Ok, but actually, how far are we?" I ask again.
"I don't know, Will, it takes 22 hours from Utah to Indiana so just do the math." Jonathan says.
"Ook." I reply.
"Haha, ook. That's a funny way to say that, ook. Ooook!" Says Argyle.
"OOOOKK!" Jonathan laughs, and chuckling to himself.
I roll my eyes, and shake my head, turning to Mike once more.
Slowly, I reach out to grab his hand, squeezing it gently.
I just look at him, take his beauty in. I sigh, wanting to stare at him forever. Mike is very handsome. Although he never admits to it, he knows he's gorgeous. His dark, black, fluffy hair, his deep, dark brown eyes, that turn dark caramel in the sunlight, and his freckles, his freckles were oh, so pretty. (HELP LMFAOAO BAHAHAH)
"Will?" He says, though I didn't really hear him.
"Will?" He yells.
"Yeah?"
"Is everything alright?" He asks.
"Yeah, yeah, everything's fine." I speak up.
But it's not. There's something different. A shift in the energy in this car, and where we are. And I can tell there's something very wrong.
"Ok, just checking." He says sweetly.
I squeeze his hand and just look at him. Again.
"I honestly could just look at you forever." I say, and gassp. I didn't even mean for that to come out. SHIT!
"I-i uh, sorry, I really didn't mean to say that."
"It's okay, I liked it." Mike says, and I just smile at him.
"You know how I feel about myself, and the way I look." He says.
"I know, and you have no reason to feel that way, okay?" I say.
"Okay." He replies.
I lean in to kiss him, and as our lips touch, I remember who is here. I open my eyes during the kiss to see El.
And I can't help but feel guilty. So I pull away.
"Will? What's woprong?" Mike questions.
Instead of giving him a straight answer, I just jerk my head towards El.
He nods, as if saying, "Ohh."
I could tell he looked pretty sad. Now I feel terrible. Great.
I'm about to say something but I'm stopped by something.
A force. I feel a tingle. My hand immediately goes to my neck, feeling the goosebumps raise.
Then I know.
I turn to face the window, startled by what I see.
