Mikes POV

Why is Will so close to max? Does he have a crush on her or something? He probably doesn't even know what a crush is.

I am sat down next to El, and she rests her head on my shoulder.

I had forgotten we were dating to be honest.

"I.. Think we need to speak when we get home." I told her.

I feel her entire body tense and I hold her hand and squeeze it to try and calm her down.

"Oh.. Okay." She whispers.

I instantly feel bad, and I think we both know what I'm going to say to her.

The bus stops just a little further away from the Byers house, so we all get off and start to walk down to Wills house.

I see max, Lucas and will all holding hands, and I feel jealous. Very jealous. I've known him the longest. Why isn't he holding my hand.?

I see will reach his hand out and place it on Max's head.

"Will what are you doing?" Max looks confused.

"Red.. Pretty red." He told her, and Max smiled softly at him.

"Thank you." She chuckled, and she started swinging her arms around.

"Max what the hell are you doing?" Lucas groaned.

"Lighten up stalker!" Max grinned, placing a kiss on Lucas's cheek.

"Why do that?" Will asked her.

"Do what?" Max and Lucas looked confused.

"I not know how you say." Will frowned.

"Show us!" Max told him, and will gave max a kiss on the cheek.

"Ohh! That's because I love him." Max told Will, and Lucas went red.

"Who I love?" Will asked her, and she glanced back at me.

"I think there's a boy back there you could love." She smirked at me and I went completely red.

"Shut up max." I mutter, trying to hide my face.

"What? We all know you'd never tell him." She shrugged, and I went even more red.

"Max he has a girlfriend." Eleven spoke, sounding upset.

"Oh yeah I forgot." She shrugged, turning back to Will.

We all made it to the Byers house and we realised we don't have a key to get in.

"Wait how do we g-" Dustin started but was cut off by the door flinging open and Will skipping inside.

"Oh yeah.." Dustin looked at Will and chuckled as we all followed the smaller boy inside.

"I am getting loops." Will told them, running over to the kitchen.

Everybody just watched him, and I turned to eleven.

"Can we.. talk?" I ask her, and she nods and pulls me into Wills room.

"I-I think we should break up.." I tell her, and she just sits down on the bed.

"Mike.. We've been together for three years? Come on.." She looks up at me, and I instantly feel bad.

"I- uh.. I know but I just.. I don't think I like you anymore." I tell her, trying to look every where but at her face.

She bursts into tears and I just stand there, unsure of what to do.

"Uhm.. Sorry. I'll give you some time.." I try and get out of here, unsure of what to do.

I walk back into the kitchen to see Max, Lucas and Dustin playing out an argument that happened the other week and will sat down in front of them, giggling at them all.

"Hello!" Will looks over at me, smiling.

"Hi." I try to smile, but he can tell something is wrong.

"Are sad?" Will looks at me, frowning.

"I mean, sort of." I shrug, and he gets up.

"I get tiger, he makes happy." Will gets up and heads to his room to get some tiger, and Max, Dustin and Lucas look over at me, confused.

"Dude why are you upset?" Lucas asks me.

"I just broke up with El." I told them, and their mouths form an 'o' shape.

"Yeahh." I sigh, and I look down.

"I mean, I feel bad for making her upset but I'm not necessarily sad about it." I shrug, and they all share a glance.

"And why are you not sad about it? I mean if Lucas broke up with me after three years I'd be heartbroken." Max told him, and Lucas went red.

"I don't know, I don't even know if I ever loved her to be honest." I admit, and they're eyes widen.

"What!?" They all yell in sync, and I shrug.

"I mean, don't get me wrong, I do like eleven but I don't like like eleven. I think I was just happy that a girl wasn't grossed out by me I guess." I tell them, and I see their faces soften.

"It's fine, dude. Just talk to her and you can just explain what happened and I'm sure you both can be friends." Dustin tries, and I nod.

"Wait, where's Will?"
