before Eleven, Mike and i were best friends. we developed feelings for each other and became a thing. but then one night, he met a girl named Eleven and started to ignore everyone else. i could tell he loved her. he only cared about her. the rest of the party noticed that too, but especially me. he didn't talk to me much anymore. he didn't act like he liked me anymore. and he didn't even tell me that we're over. and one day Eleven left him. both of us were heartbroken. he was heartbroken that she left him. and i was heartbroken that he didn't care about me anymore. but i managed to suck it up and comfort him. when she returned, she hated me even more than usual. Mike was all obsessed over her.
(present day)
"that's for the ride Joyce!" i say to Joyce and walk into the gym with Will. (not hand in hand or anything. we're friends, we're not gonna dance with each other either lol) we walk through the doors and meet up with Lucas, Mike, Dustin, and Max. We laugh and chat. a slow dance plays and Lucas leaves with Max, Dustin leaves with Nancy, and Will leaves with some random girl. Before i could start chatting with Mike, Eleven walks through the door. his eyes move to her and lights up. my heart drops. i turn around and Eleven looks amazing. they both walk over to each other. Mike doesn't even say 'good bye'. so i sit down. i see him talking to her and then takes her hand. they start to slow dance and smile and look into each other's eyes. my eyes start to water and my throat burns. i see Mike leaning in to kiss her. they do. i try to wipe away a tear but they just keep going. he puts his forehead onto hers and smiles. i get up and get out of there before bawling. "hey y/n are you ok?" Mr clarke starts. i don't respond and walk out.
NANCY POV
i see y/n walk out. it's not like her to walk out of a dance. "what happened?" Dustin says, seeing my concerned face. "y/n just left" i say. his hands drop off my body and i let go of him. "i'll go after her, can you round up the group?" i say. "yeah. no problem" i run out and ask me clarke, "did you see y/n?" "yeah. she ran out crying. she headed toward the woods" i glup and thank him. i push the doors open and start running toward the woods.
MIKE POV
I look into Eleven's puppy dog eyes. she's staring back at me. someone taps me on the shoulder. i turn around to Dustin. "what?" i say annoyed. "can i talk to you... privately?" he says. i eye Eleven. "ya. whatever. make it quick." i follow him to the corner of the gym. everyone in the party except y/n and eleven are there. "what's going on?" "y/n left" Max says. "okay... and...." i say. "wtf??? 'okay... and...' ?!" Max hits me in the shoulder. "she's hurt Mike!" Dustin exclaims. "YOU and her were a thing. and then you met Eleven and you never payed attention to her anymore. you didn't pay attention to any of us! you only cared about eleven. and all y/n ever was to you was nice! she comforted you, she helped you, she did everything she could to keep you a part of her. and you just shut her out. and she was hurting Mike! she was hurting real bad! and tonight you just made it worse. you didn't even break up with her. or tell her that you liked eleven more!" Dustin yells at me. i stand there, speechless. "you're actually being a jerk" Will says. i never heard him actually say anything like that before. "well you guys and y/n should have talked to me!" i say. "we tried! but you were to hung up with Eleven." Lucas says. "so now we're going to go find y/n. she's ran away. and it's all your fault." Max says. she bumps into my shoulder as she leaves. so does Will, Dustin and Lucas.
YOUR POV
i keep running. i'm far into the woods. i accidentally trip on a twig and i fall on my face. ugh
i get up. there's scratches everywhere. but i don't really care anymore. i sit down. there's blood dripping from my forehead and almost everywhere on my face. my dress is ripped and my mascara was running. i'm all alone. no one cares about me anymore. i hear footsteps. "y/n! y/n!!!"
Nancy.
i get up and take off again. "y/n! stop! wait!" she yells running after me. "leave me alone!!" i yell back. i trip on a bigger twig and it cuts my ankle. i stumble and fall, causing even more cuts. "ow!" i wince. "jesus!! y/n!" Nancy says, running to me and sitting down next to me. "what's wrong?!" i look up at her, "what's WRONG?! everything's wrong Nancy!" i explain to her everything about Mike. tears streaming down my cheeks. "i'm all alone! no one likes me anymore! and no one ever will" Nancy calms me down and tells me, "one, you are loved by many people in this world. you are amazing. two, i've noticed that too. Mike has been and ass lately." "HOLY SHIT" Dustin yells, running to us. Will and Lucas and Max follow with flashlights, beaming them onto my pale, crying face. of course, Mike doesn't show up. they all hug and comfort me. they take me out of the woods and walk to the car.
i see Mike come out of the gym. "y/n... " he starts. i face away from him and Nancy says, "leave her be, Mike. she doesn't need you right now." his face fades. part of me actually did need him. but i was to mad and depressed to admit i needed him. i got my cuts cleaned up at home and fell asleep.
MIKES POV
i'm an idiot. i had no idea she felt this way. i should have known. i gave y/n time before i went up to her a few days later. i apologized and said i still had feelings for her
YOUR POV
mike came up to me and apologized, "y/n, i'm so sorry. i should've known. i still have feelings for you." i shook my head, "if you really loved me the first time, you wouldn't have fallen for Eleven." i say. i turn and walk away.
MIKE POV
i look down and think. i run after her and grab her wrist, gently. "y/n please. i don't know how to get you to forgive me but you're what i need right now." "i don't need Eleven. i need you. i need you y/n" she doesn't turn to me, nor does she respond. i let go and start to walk away, disappointed in myself. a few seconds later i feel her hand on my shoulder and i turn around. she's crying too. i hug her and sobbed. she doesn't say anything still, but i deserve that. we stand there, hugging each other. what amazes me about her is that she comforts me even when i was the one who hurt her, and she was the one who needed comforting.
