Mileven - Fluffy oneshots

A Bruise

El's POV

"Well well well. Look who it is."
I tried to push past them and catch up with Mike, Lucas, Dustin, and Will. Troy grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me back in front of him.
"No. You're not going anywhere."
"Please just leave me alone"
"Well am I surprised. It speaks"
"Stop"
He grabbed the collar of my emerald green dress and pulled me up to his chest.
"So where's your little frogface?"
"Leave me alone Troy"
"Where is he? Hm. He's not here to save you this time. I can do what I want."
"Troy please"
He held me up in the air by my dress. He raised his hand and struck me across the face leaving my cheek stinging.
I gasped at the sudden pain. He threw me hard on the ground. I landed on my right ribs and I lost my breath.
Troy kicked me in the stomach and I rolled onto my chest.
"freak"
He stepped on my back and stayed there.
"Your little boyfriend can't save you freak"
And he walked away.
I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. I tried to scream for my friends.
"M- M- Mi-"
I couldn't do it.

Mike's POV

I realized El wasn't walking with us.
"Where did El go?" Will asked me.
"Uh, I don't kno-"
I heard a loud smacking sound and turned around.
"You don't think?" Dustin asked
"Definitely"
We turned on our heels and ran to where the noise was. I heard a slam and something hit the ground. I found Eleven. A cloud of dust surrounded her.
"Eleven?"
"El"
"Are you okay?"
"What happened"
"El?"
"B-baby?"
Silence. And then a very quiet
"Mi-"
"What happened Eleven? What's wrong?"
"Tr-"
"What?"
"I think she's trying to say a name."
"She's probably out of breath"
"Here"
Will reached out and gave her his hand. She tried to reach it but clearly, she couldn't.
"You need help?"
She nodded a bit and I leaned down. I grabbed her under the arms and picked her up so she was at least sitting up.
"Now tell me what happened baby"
"Troy"
My head was white hot. My heart filled with rage. My gut was set aflame. My mind pounded.
I stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm gonna go kill that fucker."
"no" I heard Eleven whisper.
"What?"
"No"
"Eleven I have to"
"Please."
"Please what? Please don't kill that worthless sack of shit? When he hurts me I don't give a shit. I wouldn't touch him." I pointed at my friends, "They don't care when he hurts them. When he hurts you, I care."
"Don't"
"What exactly did he do to y-"
I stopped.
"What the fuck"
I crouched down and pulled her hand away from her cheek.
"God"
She looked at me pleading not to hurt him.
"What else did he do to you?"
"He dropped me"
"What?"
"He threw me on the ground."

I thought for a moment before making a decision.

"Come with me"

A MINUTE LATER

"Trust me Eleven. I need to see what he did to you"
I took Eleven into one of the bathroom stalls and locked the door.
"I promise I won't hurt you. I wouldn't do that."
"Okay.
I lifted her dress just above her belly button. I only saw a small bruise on her right side but the dress was covering part of it. I lifted slightly higher and the bruise kept going. It didn't end. It came up to the middle of her ribs where it was dark.
"Oh my God"
I turned her to the other side and tried to see if there were more bruises. One small one above the knee. I bent down and pointed at it.
"Coffee table"
"Oh"
I turned her around and looked at her back. I noticed two small dimples on her lower back. I slowly drew my eyes up her back. Directly above them I saw a big bruise, but not as dark as the one on her ribs.
I gasped. Nobody can hurt my baby. Nobody can touch her.
"What's this bruise here?"
"When he- when he dropped me, he stomped my back"
"Bastard."
I had a feeling there were more. Like Troy was hurting her but I didn't find any. I set her dress down. And she turned looking at me.
"I told you. You can trust me"
I looked at her dress and saw the dirt powdered on it. She won't want to go to class like this. Besides, she's in pain, and she has a class with Troy.
"You know what. Why don't we go home?"
"Yeah."
"Sounds good?"
"Sounds good"

AN HOUR LATER

"El come here. Say bye to Lucas Dustin and Will."
"Bye"
"Bye"
"Bye"
"Bye"
"Bye, you guys. Alright. Follow me."
I led El to my room. I picked her up and laid her on my bed. She shuffled slightly and I laid down next to her. She pushed her back into my chest and I put my arms around her. I made sure to be careful of her bruise. I very lightly ran my fingers up and down her side, carefully. She rolled over and looked uncomfortable and I realized she was still in her dress.
"Follow me"
"Um"
I handed her a tank top that belonged to my sister and a pair of cotton shorts. She put them on in the bathroom and went downstairs to get a glass of water.
When she came back she laid back down on her left side, back facing me. She rolled up the shirt so I could hold an ice pack to her side. She clenched her teeth together at the chill, and I took it away.
"No no Mike. It's okay."
So I put the ice pack back on her side. She relaxed a little bit.
After about five minutes she fell asleep. I put the ice pack on the night stand and fell asleep too. Holding her.
