Mikes POV
I tapped my foot impatiently as hopper signed his name and the doctor told us what room el was in. I tried to control myself and followed quickly behind hoppers large strides. There were about 3 doctors outside her room.
"Is she ok?" I blurted. I must have looked like a mad man, my hair was standing on end from running my hands through it and my face was streaked with tears.
"Yes, Shes awake."
"Can we see her?" Will asked urgently.
"Yes dearie. I'll tell her her boyfriend wants to see her shall I?" The doctor said. I glanced at Will, holding my breath. He hesitated and looked at me.
"Yes, tell her her brother, her best friend and her boyfriend wanna see her." He said looking back at me. I gave a smol smile, the best I could manage. She nodded and let us in.
"Honey, it's your boyfriend, best friend and brother!" She said acting all bubbly. Stupid bitch pointed at Will as boyfriend and me as brother. I'm fucking triggered but ok.
"And your...?" She asked looking at hopper.
"Hop." He said, clearly trying to not crush her windpipe.
"And your hop!" She said with a laugh. I wanted to punch her.
"So do I," a hoarse voice whispered. My eyes widened. I pulled back the curtain to see my baby curled in a bed. No tubes seemed to be attached to her so I hugged her tight and sat on her bed. She slipped her little hand into mine. She greeted Will max and hop but didn't let go of my hand once. After about half an hour, will, hop and max left.
"We'll leave you two alone for a bit." Hopper said. I stared at el in silence for around 5 seconds before lunging forward and hugging her tight, laying down beside her and crying. We sat up and a single tear fell from her eye.
"Mike... am I gonna die?" She asked. I crumbled.
"No no no baby, I would NEVER let that happen..." I said, cupping her face with both hands. She reached up and held one hand.
"I'm gonna have to die at some point." She said.
"Yes, but not here. Not now. You'll be well past 90 and you'll be in my arms, asleep and happy and peaceful. And we'll die together. I promise." I said looking in her eyes. She looked in mine and leaned forward and kissed me. It was gentle and soft at first and we gradually deepened it. It carried on before max came. She cleared her throat on the other side of the closed curtain.
"Guys?" She said sounding sad. I opened the curtain. "We gotta go," she said. I nodded and got off the bed. El moved to get up too.
"Uh... just mike..." she said as tears began to slip down her face. I looked At max and then back at el. She nodded softly, a sad look in her eyes when she smiled and said goodbye. It was at this point my heart shattered. I ran from the room and right into hopper.
"Hop, I know your gonna say no but I don't care, I'm staying here tonight because I can't leave her. I'll sleep on a chair or something but I'm not leaving her in this hell hole on her own." I gabbled.
"Ok," he said quietly.
"Say what you want hop, I don't care, I'm stayi- Wait what? Really??" I said shocked.
"Yeah. She needs you. I'll call your mom." He said. I hugged him quickly.
"Thankyou." I said. And I meant it. I rushed back into Els room where she sat in silence, tears falling down her cheeks.
"Hey," I murmured. She looked up and her eyes lit up.
"Hey!" She said. I sat on her bed. This was breaking my heart. My beautiful, happy girl was sat, restricted to this lonely room. To make things better, her only company was shithead Stacey, the annoying nurse. I began kissing each tear off her cheeks.
'Wait mike, Oh my god Stacey thinks you're my brother!' El said in her head.
'Ha! Get a load of this, bitch stick!' I thought and made out with El. Oh my god I wish I could read her thoughts like el can. She came up and shook my shoulder hard.
"You have to stop that right now, I will not tolerate incest!" She yelled. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I spluttered trying not to laugh.
"I'm her boyfriend! The other dude was her brother!" I said still laughing.
"Oh. Well. I'll um. leave you alone." She said looking bewildered.
"Yeah you do that sweetie," I said, mocking her annoying accent. El giggled.
"Well, I'll see you. Come visit me?" She said. "And talk in your head to me, so I don't get lonely please?"
"What?" I said.
"Isn't hopper waiting for you? I don't want you to get into trouble." She said, smiling even though I knew she was sad.
"Yeah I gotta go, see ya." I said and left the room.
"Bye mike," she whispered as I left. I stood on my tiptoes and looked in through the window at the top of the doors. She pulled her knees up to her chin and turned up face the window. I silently re entered the room and stood behind her.
"I miss you already." she whispered and watched hoppers car drive away, tears falling from her face.
"You don't have to baby," I said. She jumped and spun round, wiping the tears away looking shocked.
"Mike!" She squealed and flung herself at me and off the bed. She buried her head in my shoulder and wrapped her legs around my waist. I stepped back a bit and gripped her tight, smelling her hair and forcing myself not to cry. This is horrendous. I felt her grip tighten around me and I tightened my grip around her. After 5 minutes of silent hugging I set her down on her bed.
"W-why are you here? What's wrong with you?" I asked, the tears I was trying to hold back falling down my cheeks.
"I-I don't know. T-t-t-they won't t-tell me." She stuttered. She was clearly feeling shook up.
"Hey, you're starting to sound like b-b-b-b-billy," I said. She smiled.
"I miss Richie. And Eddie." She said. I knew she was excited for our sleepover and especially liked reddie (rich and Eds' couple name) as we called them. I sighed.
"I know baby, I know." I muttered and lay down with her in my arms. I hated this. I hated it so fucking much. A nurse walks in with a grotty ass sweater and track suit bottoms.
"Come on ella, we have to run a few tests on you honey," she said. I felt confused for a moment as to why she called her Ella and then remembered her fake name. A doctor follows behind her. He looks young, only a few years older than us and he has black hair and striking green eyes.
'Woah,' I hear el say in her head. I nudge her and she grinned and looked guilty.
"Cmon sweetheart," he said. Hm. Ok. She smiled and nodded, leaving the room. I got up.
"No no, just her sweetie," the nurse said.
"Uh, ok, how long will she be?" I asked.
"About 2 and a half hours?" The nurse said. I nodded.
"You can put those on afterwards sweetheart, they're not that pretty, but your face will contradict that, plus it's better than a hospital gown. I can help you with it if ya like," He said, flashing his teeth in a small smile. El mirrored his move. Ok I didn't like this. Not at all. They left and I called hopper.
"Hey hop can you pick me up please?" I asked.
"Yeah, did something happen?" He asked.
"No, I just wanna grab el some more comfortable clothes, cos she's gone for some tests." I said.
"Ok, how long are they gonna go on for?" He asked.
"Bout two and a half hours." I replied.
"K, I'm coming." He said.
I sat waiting for him, thinking about that doctor. Something about him just made me uncomfortable. Hop arrived and I got in. I decided against telling him about the doctor as of now. We all know I'm protective so it might just be nothing. I don't know. We arrived at his new house and I ran in and picked up my hoodie and her favourite sweatpants and sneakers. And I will personally make sure that that doctor WILL NOT help her. He fucking gave me the creeps and the more I thought about it the more uncomfortable it made me. I looked at my watch. 45 minute drive and we had 50 minutes. I figured I might as well be waiting for her when she got back and I asked hopper to set off now.
*very smol time jump*
We got at the hospital 5 minutes late due to traffic but I hope it didn't matter that much. I speed walked to Els room and burst through the door after seeing that doctors black hair through the window and once I got in I dropped everything.
Oh. my. fucking. god.
