El's screams echo through the house as she sits up, running her hands through her hair. Usually sleeping at Mike's prevents her dreams because she knows she's safe with him right beside her, but not tonight.
She hears Mike move behind her as he wraps his hands around her waist. "What's wrong love?" He asks as he rests his head on her shoulder. Her dream flashes through her mind. Mike hitting her. Hurting her.
"Get off me" She states coldly as she gets up. "What?!" Mike asks as he gets up to follow her, now fully awake. "I said get off me! Go to sleep Wheeler!" She yells as she runs from the room.
Nancy hears the confrontation from her room. She untangles herself from Jonathan's arms and tiptoes downstairs to see El sitting on the couch, hugging her knees and sobbing. She rushes over and puts her arm around her as El cries into her shoulder. All of the Wheeler's are well aware of El's nightmares, Hopper having briefed them on it, incase she ever had one whilst she was staying there.
Nancy hears the stairs creak behind her and turns to see her brother's heartbroken face as he stares at the girl he loves, tears silently streaming down his face. El's cries have subsided now, so Nancy draws her attention to Mike, and silently gets up, leaving the two alone in the dark living room.
"El?" Mike says cautiously as he sits down on the other side of the couch, looking at her with those loving eyes. "I know you had a nightmare. I'm so sorry. If there was anything I could do to stop them you know I would. I would pull all the stars from the sky if it would make you happy. I love you so damn much." he whispers as more tears trickle down his face.
El takes one look at his loving eyes and sees the Mike she's always known. He would never hurt her. She shuffles over to him and buries him in a hug. A few minutes pass until El speaks up "I love you too. More than you could ever know or I could ever express. You're my whole world." She states lovingly, lifting her head to stare into those chocolate brown eyes.
He kisses her, and the world seems to melt away. It's only the two of them and their undying love. Mike pulls away and stares into her eyes for a minute before picking her up bridal style and carrying her upstairs. He places her on the bed and climbs in after her. She snuggles into his chest, and he places his arms around her waist. "Night El" he whispers into the darkness. "Night Mike" El whispers before she falls asleep.
At 7:30am the next morning Karen Wheeler pops her head around her son's bedroom door to see him and El snuggled together under the blankets. She smiles to herself, knowing her son is finally happy. She turns to leave, but not before seeing Mike place a quick peck to El's lips as he slowly begins to wake up.
