Mikes POV
This party was amazing. All my favourite people in one place all together. This was literally perfect besides fucking JJ. But I'll just ask hopper to put him on the barbecue. Oh yeah, there's a barbecue now. Mr Clarke brought it over and of course Dustin just happened to have sausages, like you do. I scanned the room for el and couldn't find her anywhere. Hm. Oh. Wait ok I get it now. I headed over to the far side of the room where I knew she'd be. I lifted the blanket opening and sat inside with el.
"Why hello there 16 year old, how are you this fine evening?" I asked, mimicking riches English accent. She laughed but it didn't quite reach her eyes.
"El what's wrong?" I asked. She looked up at me with worried eyes. "El is everything ok? If it's not you need to tell me. Like, now." I said urgently. She looked over at jack and ruby and tiff over by the door to the backyard.
"Is it something to do with jack? I swear to shit I'll break his face. Along with multiple bones." I said mentally and physically preparing myself to kill his crispy ass.
"No... no it's Tiffany..." she said. What? What the fuck?
"What do you mean? Explain. please," I said, confused.
"I... I don't know but there's a kind of thing about her... something important that I can't see. I came in here to see if I could get in her head but I couldn't. She's got a really strong mental wall." El said.
"Ok well whatever may be going on with tiff, you should just forget about it and enjoy your birthday. Ok? Richie and Eddie wanted to see you." I said. Her eyes lit up when I said about Rich and Eds.
"Yeah. Imma go talk to them." She said.
"Ok. I'll be with you in a minute." I said. I went over to hopper.
"So. Who's the party-crasher?" Hopper asked.
"Ugh. Jack, he's Els old friend. They are pretty close. A little too close for my liking though." I said quietly, half not wanting hopper to hear.
"I get you kid. I get you." He said. There was just something about him that makes you just want to pour your heart to him. Hopper I mean, not jack. "I'm just scared you know, I mean. Look at him." I said. We looked over at jack stood with el and ruby. Tiff had gone off somewhere. Jack had his arms wrapped around her waist from behind and was constantly kissing her head. And it was really heartbreaking that he was at least 25 million times hotter than me.
"Jesus," hop said. I sighed.
"He's already said he likes el and there just isn't any competition is there?" I asked rhetorically.
"You're right kid. There isn't any competition, you and el are... I don't know, you're only 16 but it's like you are meant for each other." Hopper said. It was really touching because he didn't like talking about my and Els relationship, I didn't even think he liked it existing but this was very... heartwarming.
"This jack kid, he... he needs to just back off. You know?" Hopper said.
"Trust me. I know." I said. He messed up my already very messy curls. I grinned.
"Ok, present time!" Hop said. There was a table piled with gifts in the corner and hop dragged it over. Mr and Mrs Sinclair sat together, erica sat with my parents and holly, hop and Joyce sat together, Dustins mom and mr Clarke stood by the gifts, el sat between my legs on the floor, the spicy squad sat in their couples all gathered around momma Steve, and tiff and ruby and nat sat together. This is a moment I needed to remember.
"Before we start can we get a photo?" Dustins mom said. I smiled. I'd ask for a copy. I'd just burn jacks face out.
"Hey, jack lad, you couldn't take it could you?" Hopper asked with a subtle glance and smile at me.
"Uh, Yeah, sure," jack said. We all smiled and looked at the camera. She shot a sneaky one afterwards and it was where everyone was natural.
"Ok, open them kiddo," Hop said. She grinned as Mrs Henderson handed her jacks small box. She opened it and as she lifted it out of the box she put her hand to her mouth.
"Jack you didn't..." she said looking at him. He nodded.
"I did." He grinned. They hugged. I don't get the big deal, it's a clearly old charm bracelet that was obviously too small for her. I'd ask later. She got a mini science kit from mr Clarke, something of her moms off of her aunt Becky, a handcrafted doll that looked like her from Mrs Henderson, some pretty shoes off of the Sinclairs, a beautiful music box from the Byers, Sarah's old teddy from hop (that made her cry,) a photo album from the spicy squad and a Polaroid.
"For the blank pages," will said with a smile as she hugged him.
"Here," Natalia said, handing her a little box. She opened it and it was a peridot bracelet, her birthstone.
"Oh my! I love it!" El said. Ruby got her 10 boxes of eggos and of course she loved them.
"Ok well I kinda gatecrashed, so I don't got nothin, but you can't not have a gift for your 16th birthday so here," tiff said, pulling off a silver ring with an elephant on it. El seemed to love it.
"Thankyou so much Tiffany! I love it!" El said. I grinned as she opened the rest of her gifts. She hugged everyone in the room and at around midnight everyone started to leave. She thanked them for coming and once everyone had left, including hopper, she went and changed into her pyjamas. I did the same. My parents took holly and Nancy out with the Byers and the Hendersons and the Sinclairs so we had the house to ourselves. She smiled looking around the basement and looked up at me from the floor. I slid down the sofa and sat beside her and grinned before hugging her.
"So, How was your day, beautiful?" I asked. She closed her eyes and nuzzled into me.
"It was... amazing." She said. I smiled and closed my eyes too and rested my head on hers. She pulled away slightly and began flicking through the photo album. I had my chin on her head and looked with her. I smiled at all the memories, wishing I could relive them. A tear fell onto the page and soaked into the paper.
"You ok baby?" I asked.
"Yeah, I just wish I could go back and do it all again you know?" She said with a smile as more tears fell down her face. She was happy crying. Good good. I squeezed her tight and fell over on my side, dragging el with me. We both laughed and el squealed as I flipped her over and began tickling her ferociously.
"IM THE TICKLE BEAR AND IM PREPARING MY ATTACK!" I yelled laughing and quickly bent down and blew on her stomach hard, making her squeal and writhe around until she was almost blue in the face. I fell back laughing my head off, my sides killing me. I pulled her onto my lap and cuddled her. We laughed quietly for a bit longer before settling down and closing our eyes. I looked at the window. The sky was inky blue and the moon was shining bright.
"Be right back baby," I told a sleepy El as I switched the tv on to occupy her whilst I went and prepared my final surprise.
