Eleven p.o.v
"Kiddo, I need you to be ready in 15 minutes we are going to the Wheelers for dinner. We also need to go help Joyce with the food she made" Hopper said.
"15 MINUTES ARE YOU KIDDING? Why are you telling me now? I need more time" I yelled from my room.
"Sorry I forgot to tell you this morning" Hopper apologized.
"Can Max come?" I asked.
"Sure thing" he said.
"Okay Max you got 15 minutes. Work your magic" I said.
"Honey, me out of all people" she laughed.
"You are the only one here right now, so help me" I said desperately.
"Okay okay" She said and we got to work.
30 minutes later and I was decent enough.
"EL WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Hopper yelled.
"We are coming, hold on" I said helping Max in one of my outfits.
"You look great!" I complimented.
"You look stunning" Max said.
"Thank you" I said and we walked arms linked.
"Beautiful. Now let's go" Hopper said holding the door for us.
It took about 10 minutes to go to Joyce house. You see dad and Joyce are kinda a thing but they don't want to say anything. Everybody knew though.
"Hey Joyce" Hopper said
"Hello!" Max and I said in unison.
"Come on in" Joyce said stepping away from the door.
"Thank you" I whisper.
"Hey El, how are you feeling?" Will asked as he hugged us.
"Much better, thank you" I said.
"Mike was worried" Will mention.
"Was He now?" Max asked sarcastically and I elbowed her.
"Of course. He wanted to go see you but Mike's mom had to drop off Bella at her house" Will said.
"Isabella?" I asked.
"Yes Bella for short" Will explain.
"He took her home?" I asked trying not sound hurt.
"Yeah, Mike didn't want her to walk home, so he offered to taker her home on his bike. But you know his mom. Plus guess what? Bella it's his new neighbors. You know the ones that moved in last week. Who new they would live so close." Will said.
"Well that's great!" I said faking a wide smile.
"Okay you guys let's go, we don't want to be late" Hopper said and off we went to Mike's house.
"It's okay El, she can't do anything" Max said.
"Sure she can. She can steal him from me" I whisper angrily.
"She can't have something that is not hers to take" Max said.
"Maybe this is the best for him" I said sighting and looking out the window.
"She loves you, El. Don't forget that" Max reminded.
"Yeah but loves changes just like everything else" I said. I didn't speak for the rest of the car ride, I just nodded and sometimes 'yeah'.
"Okay kids on your best behavior, we are welcoming the new neighbors from Karen house"Joyce said sternly.
"Yes ma'am" we all said and quickly got off the car and into the house.
"Hello!" Karen said opening the door.
"Good evening Karen how are you?" Joyce said hugging her.
"I'm fine thank you. The new neighbors are in the living room." She said opening the door for all of us to come in.
"This is crap" Max whisper.
"Wherever we goes she goes" Max said.
I quickly scan the room for Mike but I could only see some strangers and Nancy with Mike's dad. Isabella wasn't there either.
"Where are they?" Max asked scanning the room as well.
"Not here" I stated coldly.
"I can see that El" Max said.
"Let's sit down. I don't feel good" I said sitting down in the couch.
"Hello, good evening" I said sitting down in the couch along with Max
"Well hello, what's your name?" A pretty lady asked.
"Jane, and you?" I asked.
"Elizabeth, Bella's Mom. You might not know her since she just started school today" she explain.
"No I know her" I said.
"Oh that's great, are you guys friends?" She asked.
"Classmates" I said.
"You guys want to eat dinner now?" Karen said coming into the room.
"Whenever you are ready dear, want me to help?" Elizabeth asked.
"Oh no no, it's all set up. MIKE DINNER!" Karen said. I hear footsteps coming from upstairs and soon enough I see Mike's face and behind him, Isabella hiding.
"isn't it cool?" Mike asked.
"Yes I love it" Isabella said smiling. Even her smile is pretty.
"Hello Michael" Max said loudly to get his attention.
"Oh hey Max, you came?" Mike asked.
"Well El invited me so of course, I will always be there for her." Max said.
"El is here?" Mike asked walking downstairs.
"Well why else would I be here?" Max asked.
"El?" Mike asked approaching the living room, with Bella hot on his tail. Did I use that right? I think I did, anyways. What I mean she was right behind him. 
"Yes?" I whispered pulling Max down to the couch by the arm.
"How are you feeling?" He asked softly kneeling down in front of me and looking at me worriedly.
Well is he was that worried, maybe he could have just gone to my house and checked up on me instead of taking Bella home on his bike! Instead of making sure she got home safely.
"I'm fine" I said suddenly feeling anger in my stomach.
I got up an moved passed him to go to the kitchen.
"Karen, do you need help?" I asked.
"Well if you wouldn't mind places those cups on the table sweetie that would be lovely" she said taking something out of the oven.
"Of course" I said and proceeded to take the cups and taking them to the dining table.
"El, you okay?" I heard Mike say from behind.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I said my voice sounded more fake by the minute.
"I don't know, you are acting weird" he said.
"Well I am weird, what other way would you expect for me to act, I'm not normal" I whisper irritated.
"What are you talking about?" Mike asked closer to me then before.
"Just move, I need to help your mom" I said shoving him out of my way and picking up the rest of the cups and placing them in the table.
"El, what happened?" Mike asked as I finished setting up the cups.
"Nothing" I said moving away from the table to walk away from him but he grabbed my arm.
"El?" He asked softly.
"Mike you should call Bella, tell her dinner is ready" Karen said from the kitchen.
"Yeah go talk to Isabella" I said yanking my arm off his hold.
"MAX DINNER IS READY" I yelled.
"Well that's great I'm starving!" She cheered grabbing my arm and pulling me to a chair.
"You are gonna have to talk to him at some point, might as well be now" she said.
"You are right, I will" I said.
Dinner went by pretty quickly. Will, Max and I talked about nonsense. Mike sat next to Bella and Jonathan.
I noticed that she would keep touching him or punching his arm once in a while and I didn't know what it was exactly but she was too close for my liking. I couldn't eat much, it only gave me a feeling of throwing up but I couldn't just leave the food Karen cooked so I forced it down my throat. Dinner had finished and everybody was still talking, when I see Bella leaning into Mike and placing her head on his shoulder briefly  before laughing. That about made all the food that I had try to keep in my stomach say 'IM COMING!'
"I need to go to the bathroom" I said in a rush getting up and running downstairs to the basements bathroom.
I HATE THROWING UP!!!!!!!
Soon enough I was hugging the toilet  feeling my life going down the drain, feeling like I had thrown away a month worth of food. It took me a while to compuse myself, I washed my hands and my mouth with water and once I felt well enough to leave the restroom I opened it.
"El, are you okay?" Mike asked as soon as I opened the restroom door.
"Yes" I said trying to walk pass him.
"Hey what's wrong?" He asked grabbing my arm.
"Nothing Mike" I said looking at him.
"Then why do I feel like you are mad at me?" He asked.
"I don't know" I said trying to get off his grip.
"No! I know you El, what's bothering you?" He asked.
"Mike I'm weird, I'm a freak. I'm not normal, why would you want something like me. I'm not pretty, I'm not like everybody else" I said looking at him.
"Why are you bringing this up now?" He asked.
"Because it's true!" I said frustratedly.
"You are pretty El" he said grabbing my cheek and stroking it lightly.
"No Mike I'm not, and deep down you know that" I said looking away from him.
"No El, you listen to me. You are pretty, so whoever it was who told you otherwise, don't listen" he said.
"Mike?" Someone said from upstairs.
"Yes Bella?" He asked looking over my head.
"Your mom wants you guys upstairs" she said.
"Okay we will be up there in a little bit" he said softly.
"She wants you guys upstairs now" she said more clearly this time.
"He said we are coming" I said coldly.
"Yeah... ummmm Sorry" she apologize
"You don't need to apologize" Mike said giving her a smile. A smile that I knew all too well and the one that broke my heart into million of pieces. It was the smile he gave me when he saw me at the snowball, the smile he gave me when we first met, the smile he gave me when I came back from the dead. That's when I knew Mike had feelings for her, just like he had for me.
"You hurt me without even knowing" I whispered to myself.
"Huh?" Mike asked obviously distracted by Bella.
"Nothing" I said.
"Do you feel bad? Does something hurt?" He asked.
"Yeah something inside of me hurts bad" I said looking at him in the eyes.
"Stomach?" He asked.
"Yes Mike" I lied
"It's okay, maybe you ate too fast" he said.
"Let's go upstairs before your mom gets mad" I said.
"Okay" He said giving me a gentle kiss in the forehead.
We walked upstairs in silent, Mike was holding my hand and rubbing circles with his thumb.
"Let's sit down" he said. We sat down on the couch. He was talking to Bella, I knew she was looking at our hands. I saw her eyes change when she noticed. She stiffing and I was kinda happy about that. I laid my head on his shoulder and Mike looked down at me and smile. The same smile he gave Isabella and it reminded me I wasn't the only person in his heart.
"Are you feeling better?" He asked.
"Yeah a little" I lied.
"I'm glad" he said returning back to his conversation with her.
He promised he would never forget me
But what if he does??
