Life Savor (Mike Wheeler x Depressed! Suicidal! reader)

Bullying Gets Out of Hand

You'd always go to school and see Troy bullying the guys and you would also always stop him. Weather it be promises to full blown make out sessions, you'd always stop it. Your depression got worse after El left for a second time and Mike was upset. Plus the guys just completely gave up on talking to you or trying to hang out so you were also friendless with a boyfriend that you didn't really like.

You were only dating Troy because he would force himself onto you (not in a dirty way) and told everyone that you guys were dating. You actually liked Mike... a lot. Life was just shit at this point. Hopefully it would get better but you doubted that.

Time skip. A couple months later

A couple months had passed and your depression just got worse. You were always down in the dumps and even tried to kill your self once plus El came back!! You were sitting in your room crying when your radio goes off.

"Hey, (Y/n) do you copy?" it was Mike. You didn't know why but your grabbed the radio and responded.

"I copy. Over," you answered.

"Could you meet me at the cliff over by the lake? Over." he asked and you thought about deciding to go.

"Yeah sure. Over," you answered.

"Okay. Thank you! Over and out," he ended the conversation. You got ready and went to the lake where Mike was but so was Dustin, Troy, and James. You were scared once you saw Mike walking over to the cliff like he was going to jump. Troy had a knife held to Dustin's mouth while James just watched. You couldn't let them do this. Especially since Dustin had his adult teeth!! You ran over pulling Mike away from the cliff.

"Don't!!" you yelled and all of them went silent.

"Troy, if it's blood you want. Then it's blood you'll get!!" you yelled turning to the cliff about to jump.

"(Y/n)!! Don't do it!!" Mike yelled. He ran to try and stop you but it was too late. You had already jumped, falling to your death as he yelled. You suddenly stopped falling as you heard Mike yelling at Troy.

"Look what you did!! You asshole!!!" Mike yelled at Troy, shoving him to the ground in the process.

"Me!? What about you!?!?! You've been ignoring her and that made her so upset!!!" he yelled, pulling Mike's legs out from underneath him. Mike was silent which made Troy continue.

"She's been crying and cutting herself over the fact she lost some of her best friends!! Now look what it's caused her to do!!! She was upset over so much because of you!!!!" he was practically screaming at Mike by this point.

"At least I didn't force myself onto her and told everyone that she was my girlfriend when she wasn't!!! Do you have any idea how upset she was from that!?!?! She just laid in her bed crying for 2 weeks straight!!!!!" Mike retorted. Suddenly you started coming back up and landed on the ground with a 'thud'. No one knew how but you didn't fall and die. Out of no where El came up, wiping blood from her nose while Troy and James ran like Hell away from the scene. Mike hugged you while crying.

"I thought you died!!" he sobbed into your shoulder. You hugged him back.

"I thought I was going to but El saved me, I guess," you whispered into his ear while mouthing a 'thank you' to El. All she did was nod.

"Why'd you do it!?" he yelled at you while giving you a small push.

"Life, Mike. Life," you told him.

"That's not good enough!" he started shaking you.

"Not here. Some private. Just me and you," you walked away towards your bike. Mike quickly followed you once you started riding off leaving Dustin and El at the cliff. You made it to your favorite place, getting off your bike to sit inside the abandoned building.

"(Y/n)? Where are we?" Mike asked following you inside while looking around.

"It's my top secret hide out. Whenever dad and mom fought or life was just shit, I'd come here to relax and just let everything go," you told him while sitting on a pile of pillows and blankets that you had brought a while ago. This was practically your home.

"Want some?" you offered him some (fav. chips).

"No thanks," he declined and you just shrugged.

"Your lose," you ate some while Mike grew impatient.

"Why'd you do it?" he finally asked.

The dreadful question that you were just waiting for him to ask.
