Chapter 12: Love

Nancy
I can't believe she's back, I really can't. I didn't know her much in the week she was here, because Mike didn't tell me. But I did know her for about a day, and we grew quite close in that time. It felt like more than a day, we talked. I helped her with a few words and I immediately liked her as soon as we met. She's a lovely girl, she's just broken and she needs someone to help fix her. And thats exactly what Mike and I are going to do. Help her, show her the way and teach her about life.

I know Mike loves Eleven, what they have isn't just your average teenagers liking each other. They have a connection, a special connection. I can see the way they look at each other, their expressions light up, their mood instantly rises to happy as can be. I've never seen anyone make Mike this happy. It's truly amazing to see. He loves her with all his heart, and seeing him that happy makes me happy. And at the end of the day, that's all I want.

As for Eleven, I can see her feelings for Mike are mutual, but obviously she doesn't understand it. I mean, I wouldn't expect her to. She's never experienced anything like this and this is all new for her. Even though she isn't sure what it is, I can see she loves him. They care about each other, Mike makes her feel safe from the bad men, and I'm pretty sure he's the only one who can do that. I can see her physically relax when he's around.

I will admit, I am slightly jealous. Not jealous as in I'm in love with either of them and want the other for myself, because that would be so wrong on so many levels. I'm jealous of what they have and that my 13 year old brother can have this kind of love at such a young age. I have Steve, but he doesn't treat me in the right way. I want him to look at me the way they look at each other, hug me the way Mike hugs Eleven, treat me like a princess as Mike does. But I feel that Steve doesn't really care about me in that way, he just wants a girlfriend because it's good for his reputation. He doesn't care about me. My best friend went missing and died and he couldn't care less, he made fun of Mike's depressed state when Eleven went missing because 'he's just a kid, what could a kid possibly go through that could lead to actual depression?' A lot, actually, what Mike has been through is worse than what most people will ever have to go through. Especially with his best friend stuck in another dimension for a week. He doesn't understand. I can't even begin to comprehend what he was feeling during the time Will was gone and then losing Eleven as soon as he gets Will back. I really don't want to be with Steve that much anymore, honestly he's a complete dick, but truth be told, I am too scared to do anything about it...
