Chapter 22: You Love Her

El's POV

I reached out and gently grazed my knuckle across his cheek.

He breathed out, searching deeper into the air where I sat.

"El, where are you?" He questioned, moving closer to me.

I put my other hand on his face, so that I was cupping both cheeks.

He looked desperate to find me, moving his hands up as well.

One slid around my jawline and I leaned into it. He felt it.

Maybe he wouldn't know, but I was going to try anyway.

I slowly leaned in, my lips inching closer and closer to the image in front of me.

Our lips touched briefly. Did he know?

Mike's POV

She was here.

"El, where are you?"

I felt both hands on my face now. I reached out and my hand felt a change in the air. I felt a sudden pressure on it.

I smiled, knowing she was thinking of me back in the lonely cabin in the woods.

My lips felt a strange tingling. Oh my god. She was kissing me.

I smiled as the tingling continued. I hope she saw.

El's POV

I stopped kissing him and leaned back. He had his eyes closed and his lips were turned up in a cute little grin.

He knew.

Mike's POV

The door opened and I stumbled out of the little fort, my face blushing a deep red.

"HEYYYYYY!" I heard Max yell into the basement.

I ran to the door, greeted by four smiling faces. The Party was here.

"Hey guys!"

Lucas frowned at me, "Why is your face all red?"

"Um, nothing."

Dustin and Max ran past me and collapsed onto the couch, already eating all the snacks I had laid out.

Will walked in, glancing up at me then behind me at the rustled fort.

"You saw her," he didn't say it as a question, but more of like a confirmation.

I nodded at him and he smiled, nudging me gently.

Will. He always knew.

"Have you talked to Lauren lately?" I whispered to him.

He shook his head, "No. I haven't had time to go by her house or to talk at school."

I nodded, understanding. I knew how hard it was to never have the chance to talk to the person you loved.

Max's obnoxious voice boomed over the couch, "COME ON GUYS!"

"What're we watching?" Dustin's impatiently commented. Dustin and Max are honestly the best duo I've ever seen.

I rolled my eyes, "Okay okay."
