SAFE // Mileven (ON HOLD)

004

Troys POV
Eleanor was looking hot today. She should stop crying over that Mike dude, he's dead. James parents are away for the weekend so we decided that we would throw a party. That way, I can get with El and James can get with whoever he wants. We have everything planned out. Now we just have to find a way for El to come.

Wills POV
Class was horrible, as usual. The bell rung signaling that class was over. I stuffed my books in my bags as I tried to rush out of the class. "James is throwing a party tonight, it's going to be great!" I overhear from a girl talking to her friend. I make my way to lunch thinking about this party. I know James is bad, but the party isn't. "Hey will" Max says catching up to me with El and Lucas following after her. "Hey" I reply "Did you know James is having a party tonight". "I didn't know you partied" Lucas says walking on the left of me. "What's a party" El says behind us. "I'll explain at lunch" I say opening to the doors to the cafeteria.

Everyone stares. Not because I'm with Max and Lucas, but because of El. I turn around and see El wearing makeup. "Did Max do your makeup" I whisper trying not be awkward. El nods as we walk to an empty table. "A party is where you go to have fun" I explain to El, sitting across from her. "Where's Dustin" Lucas asks looking around for him. Me and Max shrug since we haven't seen him all day. "So it's settled we're all going to the party" Max says with excitement in her voice. "Sure" Lucas says. El nods in response. "Cool" I say getting up from the table.

"Where are you going" El says grabbing my sleeve. "I'm going to find Dustin and ask him if he wants to go to the party" I say smiling. El lets go and I walk out of the cafeteria to the football field. I push open the metal doors too see Dustin smoking against the building. "Hey" he mumbles, dropping the cigarette and stepping on it. "When did you start smoking?" I ask looking at my shoes. "I don't know, I just did and please don't lecture me on how bad it is" He says pleading. "I'm not" I say chuckling "Are you coming too James party tonight". "Probably, but just for the drinks" Dustin says. "Me to" I say smiling to my self that our group might actually come back together.

Lucas' POV
"So Max can drop you off at the Wheelers house so you can get ready" I say. "I don't live there anymore" El says looking at her shoes. "Why not" I asked confused. "I felt to guilty living there, so when I turned 16 I left and moved into an apartment" She says turning the corner "Well this is my class". "Wait what's your address" I ask before she opens the door. She pulls out a pen and writes her address on my hand. Mirkwood Apartments Door 3A. I look at her with a raised eyebrow before she enters her class.

I go to my class and sit next to Max. "Write this down" I say showing her my hand. She tears out a page from her notebook and writes it in cursive. "What is it" Max asks grabbing my hand and inspecting it. "Eleanor's address, so you know where to drop her off" I say as the teacher walks in. "Get the boys together at your house so I can pick you guys up" Max says before the teacher starts his lecture.

Look, it's a totally real apartment complex in Hawkins, Indiana *nugde, nugde* + 500+ views?!?! I'm honestly speechless because this book is sort of trash but thank you so much for the support ilysm!!!
