ghosts

"sometimes i feel like i still see her."

mike wheeler has had a hard year. he became sad and angry for the most part and all his friends noticed. he never said as much anymore.

he was just the person you kind of saw around.

he missed her.

mike doesn't know why it hurts so much or why the universe is so harsh and fucked up enough to do this to him- no her. on some level he thinks he may be in love with her but, nancy likes to say he's too young to love or to have loved her.

for a year things had been so off. him and lucas fought more than normal; they were usually over small things but, he knew deep down it was more than that.

the boy was angry.

not at eleven but, at himself for not trusting her and, being nice when he should have because, she was a true friend god damnit - and he had only realized it when they had barely any time left.

dustin tried to keep everything going for the most part. he was still his wonderful cheery self except everyone could see the bags under his eyes. he often spent his nights dreaming about his lost friend and how she had sacrificed herself for them.

and the most troubled of all, will byers, who could not look at mike wheeler on some days.

there was an insistent guilt almost throbbing in his chest whenever he saw the way his friend grieved so intensely for the girl.

the girl that saved him and everyone else.

eleven was like a ghost to most. sometimes mike swears he could feel her as, if she was in the same room as him.

"i'm sorry dude... she's gone you've gotta learn to accept that." dustin and lucas would say because they were right.

eleven was gone.

until-

one day she wasn't.

at first it started with will, whom everyone discovered had been puking slugs since his visit from the upside down.

and then the hawkins energy department showing up again.

and then even worse; the lights started to flicker once more except, this time it wasn't the demogorgan.

no it was something no one could ever comprehend.

but, amongst all this mess it had finally happened.

eleven had returned.

she wasn't able to connect with physically but, verbally was good enough for everyone through the super-com; especially mike wheeler, who practically almost sobbed with relief at hearing her voice after a whole year.

his guts sprung back to life and his chest was filled with the same old familiar warmth he missed.

"we're coming for you el. i promise."

the storm was coming for everyone and no one could prepare for what was about to come. but, everyone knows that there is light after the rain and, where there is light there is rainbow.

eleven was the rainbow after the rain for mike wheeler and she would no longer be a ghost.

she was coming home.
