I've been focusing a lot on Mike and the boys. I thought I might tell this chapter from a different point of view. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Hopper's POV~
I stepped over the trip wire, and up to the door. I did the secret knock, and waited for El to open the door. At first, nothing happened, but after about a minute or so of waiting, the door swung open.
I walked inside, and set a bag down on the table.
"El! I brought some donuts from work today! The guys at the police department bought over three boxes of donuts! I don't know how they manage to consume so much. I brought home some for you."
The frail girl walked out of her room. I could tell she had been crying. Her eyes were all red and puffy. She walked up to the table and puller out a glazed donut. She turned around to walk to her room, but I grabbed her by the arm.
"What's up with you?"
Her head shot around, glaring at me.
"I-I mean, I know you've been crying. What's wrong?"
El was silent. She looked down for a second, then back up. Tears filled her eyes.
"Mike."
"Oh no. You haven't been trying to contact him, have you?"
El broke into tears. I walked her over to the couch, and we sat down.
"I want to see Mike."
"You and I both know you can't. It's too dangerous."
"I hurt him."
"What?"
"Mike. I hurt him."
"What do you mean you hurt him?"
"I NEED TO SEE HIM!" Eleven snapped.
"EL, WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG WITH YOU? JUST GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER!"
El broke out into sobs.
"I'm sorry El, I shouldn't have snapped like tha-"
"No. It's not you. It's me."
"What?"
"You asked for a straight answer, so..."
"Well...?"
"Every night I check on Mike!" Eleven cried. "I see how sad he is! I hurt him! He's always crying, because of me. He's sad because I LEFT HIM!" El sobbed even more.
I pulled her into a hug, and she cried into my chest.
"Don't worry kid, you'll see him. Soon."
