I've Already Told You Everything // Stranger Things

Ocean Eyes

To start off: HEY! Sorry I too so long to update. I had to take a little break, but I'm back now! I may not be updating as frequently as I was before, but we'll see!!

Eleven really didn't like New York. It made her chest tight and her knees lock whenever they took a walk in the city. When she held Mikes hand, her palms grew slippery and clammy. She didn't like the huge crowds of people; or everyone running into her for that matter. The fact that she was happy they were leaving made her upset, because she knew Mike enjoyed New York. She smiled artificially, and nodded when he asked her,

"Did you like the city?"

But, deep down she really wanted to say that she prefers Hawkins over anything.

The plane ride back was no different from the plane ride there. Eleven curled up into a ball and closed her eyes so tight, her eyelids might have fallen off when she opened them. Mike soothed her by rubbing her back and talking to her occasionally. When she finally fell asleep, she dreamed about Nancy. She dreamed about when she bought Eleven all her nice clothes that she no longer fits into. So it wasn't really a dream, more like a memory.

When finally back in Hawkins, Eleven let out a dry breath of air that she had been holding in since they left. She breathed in Indiana and felt a since of security. This was where she wanted to be; no where else. The bantam, noiseless town gave her all the room she needed to grow, and Mike knew that. He knew that if they wanted to move away, Eleven would either stay behind, or be completely miserable. Not that Mike wanted to leave, anyways.

Mike lay his feet up on the coffee table, and Eleven scurries around the house unpacking and cleaning up. Mikes heart rate suddenly increases when he knows he has to talk with her, and he knows she's not going to be happy. Eleven ambled by him, attempting to clean up the rest of the house. Mike gulps and opens his mouth, but he wishes he didn't.

"Eleven I have a question," he waited for her to sit next to him, like she usually does when they talk. She ran into the living room and plopped herself down on the couch.

"Anything. What's up?" His eyes frantically looked to each of hers; unable to pick an eye to focus on.

"Do you ever um, think about dating other people?" Her face fell. Her eyes darkened before him and he regretted even speaking up.

"Why would I ever think about that? It's you, Mike. It's always gonna be you." She became a little softer, which terrified Mike even more. He wasn't done talking yet.

"While you were gone," she leaned in closer to him. Being attentive and angered at the same time. "I was in a relationship with someone else." Eleven remained a slapping distance away. Her eyes welled up with tears and her fists shook.

"You told me you didn't date anyone while I was gone." Her voice was little and shaky. She was teetering over the edge.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I just thought that wasn't the time to tell you." She stayed silent. She stared at Mike long enough for him to question if he should just kill himself before she does. Her body flung off the couch and up the stairs. She remade her mess and began packing things into her suitcase. Mike tramples up the stairs and tries to stop her from packing, but fails.

"Mike, let me go." He wrapped his arms around her but she flung them off easily. She slid on her boots and threw her hair into a ponytail. The tears collecting in her eyes prevented her from seeing but she still managed. Before she could grab her keys off the table, Mike slammed his hand down and snatched them before she could. He held them out to the side while he panted.

"Please," he began "Please don't go." Eleven shook her head and stomped her foot.

"Give me my keys Mike." She could barely speak, and he wished he wouldn't make her talk anymore.

"Eleven you don't even know the story. You don't even know what happened!" He pleaded. She shut her eyes and balled her fists.

"I don't need to know the story. You lied to me." He stayed silent this time. She reached over and grabbed the keys out of his hands while she had the chance. She stormed out of the house and drove away with a screech. Good thing Mike couldn't get to the part when he says,

"We should see other people."
