Synopsis/plot : *read to find out *
Week after season 4 ends
...................................................
This past week, a lot has been on Eleven's mind. Her father had recently just come back from the unknown, her boyfriend decided to say how much he loves her on her death bed, her best friend ended up in a coma, and Hawkins is under attack.
Mike had been checking on her about 4 times a day whether it had been a phone call or even a visit. And for El it had been a tad bit overwhelming. She had always loved Mike's company but for some reason she's starting to get a little sick of it.
"RING RING!" El rolled her eyes guessing it was Mike.
She picked up the phone with her slim fingers, and answered the phone. "Hello?" She said.
No answer.
"Uhm.. is anyone there?" She asked.
On the other side on the phone was Mike, (of course it was,) "oh! Hey!"
El sighed, "uh- hey?"
"How are you doing?" The hyper boy asked.
"You asked me that 20 minutes ago," her tone spooked him.
"Oh- right."
El adjusted her fingers, "can I come over, just for a couple minutes?"
The boy's face lit up, "of course! In fact, you can stay as long as you want to."
"Okay, bye."
Mike sat patiently (totally not) in his room while he waited for El to make an appearance. He spent his time drawing some pictures, it made him feel relaxed. Will recommended it to him, he even gave him some of his extra paint from his paint sets. Before Mike could finish his drawings he heard a knock at the door.
"I'LL GET IT!" He charged.
He opened the door to see El standing there shyly.
"Come in!" He said.
El made a face, not a good one, it looked like the face Hopper makes whenever the door is less than 3 inches shut. "You know.. I'd prefer if you came out here instead. Let's go on a walk."
Mike nodded in agreement, he tried to take El's hand but she had forced his away.
"Soo.. whatcha wanna talk about?" He asked.
El turned to him, "well you know with all that's been happening.. I just don't feel like a relationship is the best place for me. You know?"
Mike looked at her, his heart dropped. "Oh, I get what you mean." He in fact did not get what she meant.
She smiled knowing he had 'understood.' "Yeah. I think we should take a break."
The concerned boy started to walk slower, "what does a break mean?"
El shrugged, "we can just stay apart for a while, see where that takes us. I still love you of course. I just feel like i need time to myself and start learning how to love you better without getting annoyed I guess."
"You've been annoyed with me?" He asked in concern.
She shrugged again, "I don't know, yeah I guess. The calls and visits are just suffocating sometimes."
Mike looked down at his dirty shoes, "I'm really sorry."
El took his hand, "it's fine. I should be the one sorry."
Mike didn't look at her, he didn't know what to say or do.
Mike let go of her hand, trying to hold back salty tears he said, "I love you, El. I always have."
"Yeah, me too." She replied, "I think I have to go, I'll talk to you whenever."
Mike nodded.
