Paradise; Byler. DISCONTINUED FOR NOW

-6-

After we were done I started getting dressed to go to the arcade I told Mike I'd change in the bathroom and he nodded.

I went into the bathroom and locked it I changed into a sleeve shirt and put back on my different shades of brown jacket on I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't like what I saw I saw a broken ,confused, sad person. I snapped out of it and unlocked the door on my way to my room.

Mike turned and looked at me "ready?" I nodded and he followed me out while my mom chose to drop us off I sat in the back with Mike so he won't feel lonley. I sat on the right window side and Mike sat in the middle close to me. I looked out towards the window I felt mikes stare on me and I turned and looked at him he smiled a little and then turned back.

We got to the arcade and my mom said see ya later to us we made our way inside and saw Dustin,Lucas 2 new girls I furrowed my eyebrows and Mike spoke. "Uh hey guys.?" They all turned and the one with short hair smiled at Mike while the red headed girl, Dustin and Lucas turned back around focusing on the game. She walked up to us "hi I'm Jane" she smiled at me but looked back at Mike. He smiled back and I felt horrible atm for some reason. Was it Jealousy?

I walked away from them and went towards Dustin and them Dustin and Lucas smiled and greeted me "hey will!" I fake smiled "hey guys" they finished their game and smiled and laughed "YES WE WON" I turned and saw mike and Jane sitting at a table talking and laughing.

I felt so alone atm not knowing what to do now instead of Mike me Dustin and Lucas. It's mike and Jane and Lucas,Dustin and the red headed girl. And me well I'm alone.

I didn't notice Lucas shaking me like mike did. "You okay will?" I nodded "just tired.." he nodded slowly still unsure and Dustin was looking at me too.
I looked away and muttered "I'll be right back.." I went into the boys bathroom and washed my face a little. I looked at myself in the mirror again and felt the anger coming I felt my eyes water and punched the mirror with my hand I stepped back I looked at my hand and saw it bruised a little I ran out of the bathroom past Lucas, Dustin and Mike and Jane. I heard Dustins and Lucas's voice calling me but ignored it.

I ran to the phone hung up on the lamppost and called my mom telling her to pick me up.
"M-mom uhm I'm getting pretty bored c-can you pick me up?" "Okay sweetie be there shortly are yo-" I hung it up and saw mike looking at me. He stepped closer looking down at my hand. "Wi-" I cut him off "don't mike I have to go.." I walked past him but he grabbed my arm looking at my hand "WILL?! WHAT HAPPENED?!"

"LIFE HAPPENED NOW LET GO OF MY ARM" he shook his head "NO STOP MOVING STOP HIDING EVERYTHING AND TELL ME WHATS WRONG". "NO YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND MIKE"

I felt my eyes get watery and my voice got lower "you don't know what it's like to feel so in the dark mike you don't know how it feels to be abused you don't understand what it feels like to be loved my only two people you don't know what it's like too be alone." He let go of my arm.

"You're right I don't know what it's like to be abused but I do understand to only be loved by a little bit of people I do know what it's like to be in the dark and I know how it feels to be alone but I don't feel like that anymore because I have you and Dustin and Lucas..."

I heard his voice shaky and stopping because how much he wanted to cry but he didn't. And at that moment I knew what it felt like to be an asshole. Because I made mike wheeler cry.
