Hold on Tight ~ A Mileven Story

The Party

4 months into the school year.

Mike's pov:

Sarah started to lean in, I tried to push her away but she was too quick. She ended up kissing me, but before I could pull away and yell at her, El's tiny voice could be heard saying my name.  

I turned around to El standing in the mix of people, tears on the brink of spilling over. 

"El......I'm so sorry, I didn't kiss ba-" 

"Save it Mike, goodbye." 

She ran outside, wiping her tears away, I chased after her calling out her name, but she was too far gone. I sat on a curb and cried silently calling out El's name.

6 hours earlier at Mike's house:

"Guy's I don't want to go to a stupid party." 

"Come on Mike, it'll be fun, don't be a party pooper." Dustin exclaimed, trying to reason with me.

"Ugh, fine I'll go but if I don't like it, I'm going to leave." I told them.

"Yes! I'm going to get so drunk!" Dustin yelled, fist pumping the air. 

"You're such an idiot." Lucas chimed in. 

"You love this idiot." Dustin winked. 

Lucas rolled his eyes

"See you nerds tonight." He walked away leaving Dustin, Will and me alone.

"Hey, Will maybe you'll find someone at this party." I told him wiggling my eyebrows.

"Ya, let's hope, I'm pretty tired having to see you and El sucking face all the time." Will laughed getting up.

"I'll see you guys tonight, I need to go home and tell my mom being the mama's boy that I am." Will walked away.

"I'm gonna go because I'm hungry and if I don't eat in the next 5 minutes I'm actually going to die. See ya." Dustin said getting up, and walking away.

He turned towards me and winked before walking away. I furrowed my eyebrows, and out of the corner of my eye I saw El walking towards me. 

"Hey." El said sitting down beside me. 

"Hi, the boys and I are going to a party tonight, it wouldn't be much of a party without you there, wanna come with?" I asked her. 

She gave me a nod in return leaning her head on my arm. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.

El's pov:

My winter vacation was pretty boring, we hadn't even gotten that much snow. I got bored so I decided to walk over to Mike's house.

Dustin was walking away from Mike when I got there, he turned to Mike then turned right back.

"Hey." I said sitting down beside Mike.

"Hi, the boys and I are going to a party tonight, it wouldn't be much of a party without you there, wanna come with?" He asked me. 

I nodded, he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, and kissed the top of my head.

"Do ya want to go inside?" He asked me, I shook my head.

"If I'm going with you to the party I got to make sure I look hot, and that's going to take some time." I told him.

"You could walk into the party with sweatpants and a sweatshirt on and I'd still think you are the hottest girl in the world." He told me, I blushed a deep shade of red.
