Mike+Eleven || I Found You

Nancy
I watched as Jonathan walked out the house. I turned around to see Mike standing at the bottom of the stairs. He put his arms out for a hug. I nodded and ran down the stairs and hugged him tight.

"Don't worry about Steve, he's a mouth breather." Mike said as I pulled away to look at him.

"Mouth breather?"

"Yeah. A word me and El loved to use about people we don't like." He said as his face turned a little red.

"Well you better get lots of sleep, big day tomorrow." I said as I saw Mike run upstairs but he stopped and turned to me.

"Thank you, Nancy."

"For what?" I asked, truly confused at what he was thanking me for.

"Being my sister." He said as I watched him walk away.

Mike
I walked into my room and go into bed. I looked at the clock; 8:30, I decided to stay up a little longer. I sat up against my bedpost and decided to talk to Lucas by the radio. I turned it on.

"Lucas? Lucas do you copy?" I asked as the radio was silent. "Lucas? Lucas do you copy?" I waited a further 5 minutes for a reply. "Lucas? Lucas do you copy?!" I nearly shouted.

"Yes. I copy. What's up Mike?" Lucas said.

"Big day tomorrow huh." I said, almost being cocky.

"Yeah. We'll all be fine man, don't worry."

"Why would I be worrying?" I asked.

"Well this is the girl you've loved for just over a year, who we thought was dead but isn't, and we are going to try and save her tomorrow. There are two possibilities of this. And you know both possibilities."

"Yeah." I said.

"We all know which one you want. But it might not happen, so all I'm gonna say is, if we can't save her, I'll always be here for you man, no matter what." He said as a tear escaped my eyelids.

"Thank you bro." I said. Lucas knows how to cheer me up, we've been best friends for a long time. After that, we talked about school for a while, since we had two weeks off and we're in the first week of it. Next week Friday is the Snowball... "Who are you taking to the Snowball?"

"I have an eye on this one girl but I don't know if she'll go with me." Lucas said.

"Hmm. Tell me more." I said in a devilish voice.

"Well her name is Max Caulfield."

"Oh! I think I know her. Has she got brown hair? Glasses?"

"No. She's ginger."

"Oh... Not the one I'm thinking of then..." I said, immediately feeling stupid.

"I think you're talking about Millie Brown, the new girl in our science class from England." Lucas said. "Well I'm thinking of asking Max, but I don't know when since it's next week."

"You'll have to think fast." I said as there's a bit of silence. Until, Lucas broke it.

"I would ask who you're taking but that's obvious." He said.

"Who? El?"

"Bingo." Lucas said.

"Well... I did kind of her ask her remember?"

"I know, that's why you're taking her. Only if we get her back." Lucas said as I looked at the clock, we had been speaking for 3 hours!

"Lucas, have you seen the time?!" I said.

"SHIT." He said.

"See you tomorrow, Over and Out." I said as I put the radio to the side and immediately went to sleep.

Tomorrow's going to be a big day.

Will
I threw up a couple more slugs and splashed lots of water down the drain. This happens almost every day now. Ever since I came out of the upside down, I've been spewing slugs. It's horrible... I tell my mom that I'm sick every couple weeks and she thinks I have the flu. So I take a week or two off school. But this is a daily problem.

I walk out the bathroom and see Joyce on the phone to someone. I decide to eavesdrop. Because I'm a child, every child eavesdrops.

"Yeah that would be lovely." I first heard her say. "Next week? Um..." She said, getting up to look at her calendar. "How about Monday night?" She said as there was a short silence. "Okay... How about Wednesday?" Another silence. "Okay, Wednesday 7pm. See you then. Bye." She hanging up the phone. She immediately caught me looking at her. "Will?" I said, running to my room and jumping into my bed and pretending to fall asleep. I heard my mom come in and shut the door. "Will I know you're up."

"Who was you on the phone to?" I asked.

"I'm going on a date next week." I said as my head shot up.

"Say what now?"

"I'm going on a-"

"I heard you mom. With who?"

"I can't tell you that just yet. You'll find out soon." She said, leaving my room. I couldn't care less as I started to get reeeeally sleepy.

I really want to get El back. I want to meet the girl that saved my life. I want her and Mike to be happy... So so happy. I think they're the cutest couple. I wish I had something like that. Too bad Jennifer doesn't like me the same way...
