Tell Me Something Good

015

Congrats to @DaMythicOreo for guessing song number 2!! This is the last song so don't be upset if you don't get it. I might do it again, who knows ;)

Song #3

We laughed at the darkness
So scared that we lost it
We stood on the ceilings
You showed me love is all you needed

Ok but this song makes me cry and if you know it, imagine it playing in the scene where Eleven kills the demogorgon ;"( AWWW here come the tears.

Mikes POV

My mom called us for dinner, and I was beyond scared to show my face. I had bruises on my arm and my lip was busted. I needed to come up with a lie and quick. Nancy could already sense something was wrong by the way her eyes followed me. Eleven was acting weird too, and I could tell Nancy was going to burst if I'd don't say anything to her. I pulled her into the living room.

"Look, I'll explain after dinner. Just don't say anything." Nancy narrowed her eyes at me and didn't speak.

Every little noise seems to be startling El. Chairs screeching on the floor, silver wear clattering onto ceramic plates, and the sudden awkward statements made by my mother trying to make conversation. She looks up at me for a second, but does a double take.

"Mike, what happened to your lip?" I suddenly started to sweat.

"Uh," I played with my green beans on my plate and Eleven turned her head to me slightly, her eyes are pleading for me to lie. "I fell down a few stairs earlier, no big deal." I played it off pretty well.

"Are you ok? Why didn't you tell me?"

Please stop asking questions

"Yes I'm fine." I say this with a bit of an attitude and she sighs. Eleven barley touched her food. She moves around bits and pieces on her plate, separating all of the foods from each other. This startles me so much that I actually feel my heart race. She normally finished all of her food. Now I know something is definitely wrong.

School is in a few days, and I sit with Eleven, setting up folders and notebooks. She writes the subjects on the front, and her name. She writes "El Byers," passing off as Wills cousin. She begins to write "Science" on the front of a notebook when she stops. She doesn't look up, she stays completely still and I can barely hear her breathing. I didn't notice her turn completely grey before falling off my bed. Her body lays completely lifeless on my floor. I rushed to her side and shake her.

"El?! EL WAKE UP!" I begin to panic. I listen for a breath and she's barley breathing. I burst out of my room and scream for my mother.

"Mike please get 911 on the phone." She says this calm. It makes me mad because she's so calm. Shouldn't she be freaking out? I run downstairs and frantically dial 911.

"Yes hi uh my uh...girlfriend just passed out. We need an ambulance." I try to stay calm but my voice shakes with fear. The dispatcher says they are sending an ambulance. I hang up the phone and dash back upstairs to check on El. My mother has her sitting up. I'm taken aback because she looks dead. Her skin is grey and her eyes are wide and alert. Her hands shake and her neck struggles to hold up her head. I slide next to her to help my mother. She turns her head to me slowly. I'm honestly scared to look at her; she's acting completely catatonic and statue-like. She stares at me until the paramedics bang on the door. My mother rushes to let them in.

Eleven looks around frantically, as the stretched rolls down our driveway. I speed walk next to her, telling her she's going to be fine. Her porcelain body's still shakes from pure fright.

"Mike." She looks at me and begins to cry. I rub her hand and shush he gently.

"El you're going to be ok. I promise you." I sit next to the stretcher in the ambulance and my legs bounce. My mother jumps in next to me and they shut the doors.

"I told Nancy and Jonathan to meet us at the hospital." I nod my head and focus my attention back to Eleven. The paramedic is asking her questions and El seems to be refusing to answer.

"Eleven, you have to talk to her. I know you're scared but she's going to help you" El looks to me and nods. She answers the paramedics questions, but simple yes or no answers. We get to the hospital and things seem not as rushed or panicked anymore.

"I'm scared Mike." She looks at me with a quivering lip and I want to cry. I hate seeing her like this and it's tearing me apart.

"El, you only fainted. You will be ok." I kiss her forehead and they take her away. I'm nervous because this could trigger something in her; being in a hospital setting. She gets worries when I'm not with her, and right now is the worst time to be apart from her. Even thought I told her she only fainted, I know for sure something else is going on, and it isn't normal.
