(Mike's POV)
Ugh. I was scared of what she was going to get out of Eleven. I mean, I don't care if El accidentally says something, I don't blame her, it's just, Nancy will know. And if Nancy knows, mom is gonna find out sooner or later.
I waited and waited, fiddling with tiny objects scattered on the floor. We never really cleaned our messes up. It's always my mom who does it. She never really told me to do it myself either. Maybe she enjoys cleaning. That's what moms do.
I was playing around with the D&D board game pieces when I heard footsteps coming from upstairs. It was Nancy. Great.
"What do you want from me?"
"Mike."
"Yeah?"
"Did you say you loved her?"
"Uh...uhhmmmhhh.", My face got really hot.
"Well, damn Mike. You are really into this girl, and you can't even tell your own sister?! Funny.", She laughed.
"Jonathan lover!"
"What did you say?"
"You told me your dating Jonathan! So...Jonathan lover!!!"
"Exactly. I told you. Now it's your turn to tell me everything. Everything Mike."
"Ugh......Fine. I told her something that I shouldn't have. I know. She doesn't understand it yet, but I'll tell her. I'll tell her when I think she should know. Just not right now, okay?!"
"Yeah. Fine. Well, she thinks you hate her and--"
"What?! No! Never! Why would I ever hate El?!!! She's my--", I stopped there.
"Okay...well, why don't you tell her that? Come on.", She made a waving motion with her arm and started walking back to her room.
