Mike+Eleven || I Found You

twenty six

a/n: surprise... double update😛

Max
Me and Eleven are walking back to Mike's house.

"Hey, El?"

"Yes?" El asks, as she looks over at me.

"Are we going to be friends forever?" I ask.

"Of course! Why wouldn't we be?" El says with a huge smile on her face. She nudges me and I smile back.

"It's just... I'm not used to... Having friends." I slowly said.

"How come?"

"Well... I moved to Hawkins around three years ago." I said, beginning to tell my story of Betty. "I used to live in a town called Riverdale. Which isn't far from here! I had lived there since I was born. My parents had lived there since they were in their early 20s-"

"Get to the point Max." El laughed off. I laughed too. I do waffle a lot. I've noticed...

"I went to Riverdale Elementary and I had only one friend. Her name was Betty Cooper. We had been friends for a while until she met this guy called Archie. She'd always been with him and... Leave me out... And I'd get really hurt because Betty was my best friend until Archie stole her from me." I said, remembering it all as if it was yesterday.

I continued; "So one day, I decided to talk to Betty, and ask why she left me. When I asked her, it was in the cafeteria at lunch. She started shouting and screaming at me and we got into a fight... She beat me up hard... And nobody wanted to be my friend... So I had to roam the halls of Riverdale Elementary with no friends. For 3 years. So I left. And I moved here. Simple as that..."

"Max... I-"

"I don't want your pity El. But just know... It feels great to have you as a friend, whether it's forever or short-term... I appreciate you." I said as El smiled.

Her face soon changed as we arrived back at Mike's house.

"You'll be fine. Just talk to him." I said to El as she nods.

Joyce
"Why do the kids have to argue at this time?" I said to Hopper.

"I don't know, but it was pretty pointless." Hopper said, taking a puff of his cigar.

At this point I just started crying.

Both of my sons are in trouble.

Will has been taken.

Jonathan could be dead!

"Joyce. Calm down, okay?" Hop says to me as he puts me into his embrace. "I love you." He whispers in my ear as I pull away to look at him. "Too much?"

"No..." I said as I smashed my lips against his. I pulled away. "I love you too Hop."

At that moment, Nancy walks back into the room and stops infront of us.

"Am I interrupting something?" She asked slowly.

"No! No!" Me and Hop both said as we blushed and looked down at the floor.

"Well... I'm going to see Jonathan... So I'll see you guys soon." She said, leaving me and Hop, alone.

This could get interesting.

Will
I'm locked in a room. I'm strapped to a chair. There's a guy who looks like he has a cocaine fro, he's looking right at me.

"Will. My name is Dr Brenner." He said, holding out his hand for me to shake. He then laughs. Realising I couldn't shake his hand since I've been strapped to a chair. "You are going to die." He suddenly said as I felt scared.

I can't die yet. Not now.

"Unless you convince the group to trade you for Eleven." He said as I shake my head for no. "And why not?"

"YOU BASTARD! GET ME OUT OF HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I shouted as Brenner's eyebrows were raised.

"Don't raise your voice here Son-"

"FUCK YOU." I interrupted as Brenner's eyebrows raised again.

"You've got quite the attitude, ay boy?" He said as I gave him a dirty look. "Now now... No need to look at me like I'm the boogeyman."

"Oh you're no boogeyman. You're a cocaine fro-"

"ENOUGH." Brenner shouted, slamming his fist onto the table. I felt scared all of a sudden as Brenner slapped me and left a red mark, as I could feel heat rising in that area.

For the next 30-40 minutes. Brenner just abused me.

He gave me a black eye, few bruises on my left arm, a cut on my face, my right arm felt weak and my hair was all messy. I think Brenner pulled some of it out...

I need to leave this place.

Someone help.

Eleven
Me and Max walk in from the back door, which leads into his basement.

Max walks infront as I see all three of them, standing looking in our direction.

"Finally." Dustin says as him, Lucas and Max immediately walk up the stairs, leading to Mike's kitchen. Leaving me and him alone.

I'm looking at the floor as I can't look at him. I don't want to look at him. I hurt him. Bad. And I didn't mean too.

I hear Mike get up off his chair and slowly walk over to me. I see a pair of feet infront as my chin is raised.

I look at Mike's face, I could tell he had been crying. I feel really bad. I wouldn't want to make him cry. I look into Mike's eyes as I feel at home.

"Mike... I'm sorry... I should have listened-"

"No! El! You were right! Hopper is trying to save Will! And if you have to use your powers to get him, then we'll have to use them, unless you don't want to-"

I interrupted Mike by smashing my lips against his.

We pulled away after a few seconds to look at each other.

"I don't want to argue ever again. Even though we kinda needed it." Mike said as I nodded in agreement. "I'm so sorry El."

"I'm sorry too." I said as he hugged me tight. He buried his head into my shoulder as I felt wet patches behind to grow on my shoulder. "Mike, are you crying?" I ask as I lift his head so he's looking at me and he's balling tears.

I wipe them away with my thumb and he smiles at me.

"God I'm in love with you." He said as I smiled.

"We push and pull like magnets do." I said as he tilts his head.

"Book quote?" He asks as I nod.

I read a book the other day and ever since I've been using quotes from it when I talk to someone.

"You genius." He said with a cheesy smile.

"No. I'm your genius." I added.

"Oh, how could I forget? Of course you're my genius." He said as we both laughed and walked back upstairs to the others.

"Right what's the plan?" I ask Dustin.

***

I'm sorry I didn't drag the argument on longer :(

I wanted for them to have a little argument but then make up because WHY NOT😂

I love you all!!!
