Mikes POV
I ambled into the house, wills true statement ringing in my head. Wait... maybe he was implying that he was gonna snatch el off of me, I mean he was more than capable of doing so. He was so...heroic. I was just there in the corner for her to cuddle and kiss when she felt like it. Maybe she thought of him as more than an imaginary brother and they-
"Hey," I heard as I felt little arms snake around my waist. She pecked my neck and circled around me, facing me.
"I-I'm tired can we go to *yawn* bed?" She asked innocently. I chucked as she smiled sleepily up at me.
"Yeah," I said softly. "My room or...?" I asked. She looked at me like I was crazy.
"Basement." She said firmly, grabbing my hand and leading me to our blanket fort. I now knew what she meant when she said we were home. She didn't mean literally, this was the place she felt safest. The first place she knew she was alright and I like to think it was partly because of me. We made our way down into the blanket fort and cuddled up. I lay spooning her, whispering and playing with her hair for a bit until she leaned up and gave me a small  kiss on the corner of my lips. I could tell she was tired so I fought every singe thought in my head and every bone in my body to not just kiss her and forced myself to settle for an intertwinement of an array of arms and legs. I slid one hand to her waist and held her hand tight with the other. I could feel myself drifting of into sleep.
Lucas's POV
I felt so bad about mike and will. And el and Dustin too for that matter. As I lay in Max's bed I thought about my friends. How apart from a few waves and smiles I barely interacted with the single most important bunch of people in the world to me. They weren't even my friends anymore at this point. They were my family. And I intended to renew that connection no matter what it takes.
Mikes POV
The orange light from the rising sun enveloped me in a wave of warmth and happiness as I slowly fluttered my eyes open. Where was El? Oh shitttt. Maybe she had just gone to get breakfast? I wandered upstairs and looked for el in the kitchen. Nothing apart from an empty box of eggos on the counter. Oh ok so she had probarbly just gone into the living room to eat it. I saw a sticky plate full of eggo residue rested on the armchair of the layZboy and a half empty glass of orange juice on the floor beside it. She was ok then, probably just in the bathroom. As I turned to leave I saw two people looking suspicious on my driveway. Upon closer inspection it was....... el and will?! I wanted to just go outside and prove all of my suspicions wrong but a small yet very strong, jealous bit of me wanted to stay behind and watch what would happen. I turned to go outside but saw Will hug el and the tiny jealous bit of me got its way. I stood watching from the living room window as will pulled away slightly. He then moved his hands from Els back to her hips and face. Oh shit. El just stared up at him, it didn't look like she said anything. She put her hands on his shoulders as if doing so instinctively like she did with me. No no no this can't be happening. Will lifted her chin and leaned in and kissed her I was distraught. It carried on for a while until I burst out of the door ready to kill myself right there and then. El pulled back in shock and looked guilty. Will in the other hand kept his hand in Els waist.  What the hell.
"Will what the fuck?!" I screamed. He seemed expressionless.
"What?" He asked as if he didn't seem to see what was wrong in this situation. "It's not as if she is your girlfriend," he said sounding smug, a smirk playing on his lips as he walked away. He was right. My only hope of getting her back was standing right in front of me. It was eleven.
"El?" I whispered, tears spilling onto my face. She looked upset and shuffled uncomfortably, looking at her feet.
"I'm sorry mike." She muttered looking up at me with tears in her usually happy beautiful eyes. "Will's right." And with that she strode off towards will. I broke down on the floor crying, remembering that perfect girl i could never call mine. I thaught about her chocolate brown eyes that every so often lit up like all the stars in the universe were captivated in her wonder filled eyes. I thought about her curly hair that I could never play with again and about how when she was tired she cuddled in the same spot on my collarbone, occasionally placing kisses on my neck that would drive me wild. I thought about when we kissed and the fireworks that always exploded all around me and how all I wanted was for it to continue forever. I thought about how when she first came back we went to the river at night and danced to the silence and the moon that was our only light on that beautiful spring night. I tried to think of anything el might have done wrong to me but I couldn't. She was the most amazing person in the universe and I had just lost her to my best friend all because I didn't have the fucking balls to ask her out. I sat in the grime of my drive as the sun rose and the world woke up. I ran into the house and threw my dirty shoe at the blanket fort in anger, trying to forget about her. I got mad and trashed the whole basement, including the fort that is now nearing the 3 year mark. Well. Was. I looked around at the messed up basement. Then out of nowhere the weirdest thing happened...

I woke up.
