Mike POV
I watched as Dustin sat with Y/n on the edge of the field outside. I tried to stop myself from getting up and walking out of class, but it was too hard. She looked really upset, and I couldn't let her think that I had done anything to hurt her on purpose.
I slammed my book shut and slung my backpack over my shoulder.
"Mr. Wheeler-" The teacher had begun, but I was already out the door. I walked through the long hallways and eventually found myself outside, trying to get to Y/n as fast as I could. I felt the chilly air sting my nose, and I could feel the sun on my back.
"Y/n!" I called out to her. She looked up at me, her eyes clouded and puffy from crying.
"Mike? What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be in class?" I walked up to her and dropped my backpack and books on the floor.
"I had to see you. I'm sorry, but I had to explain myself." I looked at her pleadingly, hoping she would give me a chance.
"Mike, I'm sorry. I can't do this right now-" Y/n started to walk away, but I grabbed her hand.
"Please, Y/n!" I could feel tears start to sting my eyes. I looked away and tried to focus on anything but the fact that she wasn't going to give me a chance. She probably hated me. She looked back at me, and I could see that she was hesitating.
"Okay, but you have to make it quick. I don't intend on missing two classes today." She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. I could see a tear slide down her cheek.
"Y/n, you have to believe me. I never meant to hurt anybody. It was a stupid move, and I know that. I'm so sorry." I looked over at Dustin, and he nodded. He walked across the field and into the school. "I never meant to hurt you or El, but I didn't know what to do. It was like I was tearing myself apart, you know? It was like, I loved El, but I was starting to fall in love with you. I know that it sounds stupid, but it's true. " I looked up at her, trying to make a connection. Any connection.
"Mike, there's no doubt in my mind that you regret what you did. Everyone knows that you're sorry. I just...I just wish you would have waited a little longer. You should have talked to El. You should have talked to someone. Anyone." She looked down at our hands, joined together, linked.
"I know. I'm sorry. I just... I started having these feelings for you. They started to take control of me, and I didn't know what to do. I had never felt them with El, and the intenseness of it all made me go crazy inside. I had to do something." I stepped closer to her and cupped her cheek in my hand. I felt a tear slide down my face.
"Mike, I..." I watched as she looked past me. I turned around and saw that El and the rest of the party had come through the doors. They were walking over to us.
"Hey! Hey, Mike!" This came from Eleven. I turned around and started walking towards her.
"Yeah?" I looked away, blinking back more tears from coming up.
"What did I do wrong?" I could hear her voice crack. She brought a hand up to her hair and moved a strand behind her ear.
"What?" I was confused. She thought she did something wrong?
"I mean, what did I do? What happened? What did I do that made you feel like you had to hurt me like that?" I could see tears pouring out of her eyes now, and I had to look away. I could feel Y/n behind me.
"El, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Look, I know I should have done this a lot sooner, but I think we need to end this. Us. I have feelings that I need to deal with, and I don't want to hurt you anymore. I'm so sorry." Eleven tried to speak, but no words came out. She turned and ran off the field. I watched as Max ran after her. I turned back to Y/n.
"Y/n, I know that I shouldn't be doing this, but I have something I need to tell you." I could feel my throat closing up. This was it.
Y/N POV
I gasped as Mike stepped closer to me. I stepped back and tried to put some distance between us.
"Mike, what are you doing?" He was getting way too close for comfort. Suddenly, he was taking my hand in his, and I could feel my heart stop.
"I need to do this. For real. Y/n, I shouldn't have kissed you last night. Or, what I really mean is, that shouldn't have been our first kiss. This should have been our first kiss." I watched as he leaned into the kiss, and before I could even react, he was kissing me, and I was kissing him.
I melted into the kiss, even though I knew that I shouldn't be wanting it this much. I just loved this boy so goddamn much. How was I ever going to say goodbye to him?
I pulled away and gasped for air.
"Wow." That was all I could say. I stepped back and looked away. "Mike, there's something I have to tell you. It's something that you aren't going to want to hear." I took a deep breath.
"It's okay, Y/n. I know that it will be alright." Mike reassured me. I looked around at the rest of the party and tried to control my tears.
"I'm leaving."
Mike POV
That was when my heart stopped. That was when I knew that I wasn't going to make it. Not without her.
