Say you won't let go•mileven

"But I wanna stay with you until we're gray and old."

Eleven's Point of View, fiction, age 22,

I sat on the couch until Will knocked on the door.

"Hey, wassup?"

"Mike sent me. Here wear this dress and complete this scavenger hunt. I'm the first clue, here."

I looked at him, "Okay, does he want me to change into the dress and complete the scavenger hunt first or what?"

"Put the dress in your backpack and wear what you have on, one of the clues will have you change. Anyway, read the clue and go!"

I put the folded dress in my backpack and looked at the clue.

"Go to the place where it started. The place when it was more complicated."

Mirkwood, obviously.

I decided to walk. Knowing Mike and our friends, I would have to walk through the woods.

I got to the woods on Mirkwood and saw Lucas standing on the side of the woods waiting for me.

"Hey, you have the second clue?"

"Yes, here."

I looked at the piece of paper,

"I see you found the first clue.

On to the second, go to the place we share the most memories. Go to the place we share the most smiles," it read

His old house.

I really should have driven. Whatever.

I walked to Mike's house.

I still had my key from when we were younger. I unlocked the door.

"El, there you are."

It was Karen.

"Here's the third clue."

"We sat here on multiple occasions. Lunch was shared here every day for years."

The school, more specifically, the football fields.

I walked there. God, I've walked almost a mile today.

The bleachers were where we ate lunch, I saw Dustin sitting at the top.

I ran up and he handed me the fourth clue.

"Where did we spend the summer of '85?"

The park looking at the stars until Hopper made me come home.

Thank God, that it isn't far from the school.

I reached the park and saw Will sitting on the stage where plays were often held during the summer.

"You again," I said when I saw him.

"Here you go."

"Almost there, clue five," it read," Where did we share every fourth of July and New Years Eve? I'll do you a solid, and tell you, you're very warm."

I looked for the parking lot.

Max was sitting on the hood of her car with a note card in her hand.

I made it levitate and brought it to me, "Sorry! Done enough walking for today!"

She nodded, "I get that!"

I laughed and read the note card.

"Go change into the dress and find the best place to watch a show."

I walked over to the bathroom and changed into the dress.

I pulled my hair out of the short ponytail and fixed it to fit the look of the dress.

I walked over to the area where chairs are set up for the plays.

I saw the note card with a key taped to it.

"Go up to the stage door, open up the doors, for a life-changing experience."

I opened the door and saw Mike standing there.

"A walk in the Park?" he asked me with a smile.

He grabbed my hand. We walked around backstage.

"Tonight, you're the star," he whispered in my ear.

I smiled and he brought me to a picnic table.

Eggos, resees, and ice cream.

He made an ice cream sandwich out of Eggos and ice cream, but there were resees in the middle.

I smiled, "Thank you."

I ate my Eggo sandwich and smiled at him as he grabbed my hand.

Mike grabbed my hand and stood up with me.

"Eleven Jane Hopper, we met by accident. Actually, my mom doesn't know that you and I met like that. As far as she knows, we met at school. Anyway, I have one big question for you. Will, you become Eleven Wheeler?"

I looked at the boy on one knee in front of me.

"Mike Wheeler, I would love to be Eleven Jane Wheeler."

He stood up with a smile.

I hugged him and he kissed me.

"I've been waiting for this for almost ten years now."

He kissed me again and pulled away, "Well the wait is over."

I hugged him again when I heard the song, "Every breath you take" came on, on the stereo on the stage.

"Do you wanna dance?"

"I don't know how," I said smiling.

"I don't either. Wanna figure it out, together?"

I nodded as he grabbed my hand.

We danced to the song, my head on his chest, and us hugging the entire time.

When the song ended, I kissed Mike one more time.

When he broke the kiss, we heard clapping.

Max had opened the curtain while Mike proposed and they were all watching everything.

Mike looked at me and grabbed my hand.

"Bring it in!" we said together.

All of our friends were apart of my literal entire life, and this is the only way I want it.
