Hold on Tight ~ A Mileven Story

The Return Home

3 Years Later:

El's pov:

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I last heard him laugh, saw his smile, held his hand, kissed him, and watched his eyes light up as I walked into the room. I've thought about him everyday, I tried so hard to see him, in the void, I tried to see him in Hawkins Lab but they said he was too much of a risk, a risk my ass, I know Mike, I know he would never intentionally hurt me. I'm 17 years old for god sake, I can take care of myself. Hopper is never home now so I can't go and talk to him. Me, Lucas and Dustin are still very close, and me and Will, well that's a little hard to explain, Will was the only one there that actually understood what it was like to lose something very close to you. We got closer then expected, and well one thing lead to another, and we started dating, but the only thing I can think about whenever I'm with him is Mike, I can't get his beautiful chocolate brown eyes out of my head.

I was with Will when I saw him, my heart was jumping out of my chest and beating a mile a minute, we locked eyes, I swear I saw tears brimming his eyes, then I looked down that's when I realized what he was seeing, me holding hands with his best friend.

Mike's pov:

I was in Hawkins Lab for 3 years, I couldn't go outside, I didn't feel the breeze, I didn't see the sun, for 3 years, that's what really pissed me off the most. The experiments didn't bother me after the first 6 months, what bothered me was I didn't see anyone that I loved, not even my El, they didn't let me even talk about her, god how I missed those cute little curls, and the way her nose crinkled when she laughed, and how I missed her hands that seemed to fit perfectly into mine, and the way her arms squeezed tighter around me when we hit a bump on the back of my bike. 

Her last words haunted me for years, I couldn't get her voice out of my head. I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry, I'll  never forget you, would ring in my head as I was trying to sleep, and while I was forced to do things, they even tried to get me to forget her, but it never worked, she was too special to me to make me forget her. As the days went by, the other part of me slowly went away until there was nothing left of him, whoever he was. I am finally able to go home, under the oath that I would not talk to anyone about what had happened, which wasn't very hard considering I was mute, didn't talk to anyone for about a year. 

I walked outside with the sun blinding me, and a breeze, oh boy was I ever happy to feel a breeze. I walked, then jogged, the sprinted far, far away from Hawkins Lab and all it's horrible memories. I stopped when I got into town, almost everything was the same, almost everything, that's when I saw her she was with Will, I was okay with that until I looked down and saw their hands, locked together, right where mine would have been, tears brimmed my eyes as El and I made eye contact, I kinda stood there, then I ran, I ran as fast as I could home.
