The weirdo's truth

- M I K E -

It's been three months since we met.
El is different. She makes me feel a way that no one else can. Of course my friends make me happy, but this is different.
El makes me feel safe in a way, like when I'm with her I can truly be myself. Even though I know my friends would never judge me there's still paranoia.
But with El there's none. I trust her completely.
It's a weird feeling, I've never felt this with anyone. I can't tell if I like it or hate it...

I got to the cabin and knocked on the door. It swung open and El stood there, looking up at me with a wide smile.
" El.." I smiled at her and she hugged me, I immediately hugged her back.
" Mike..." she breathed out, I could hear the happiness in her voice.
" I missed you..." She said, she stayed home all week due to being really sick. Hopper wouldn't let me go over or talk on the phone with her. I would've snuck in or try to call her but I know she would've gotten in trouble and that's the last thing I want.
" I missed you too. " I said and walked inside with her. I looked at her. Her wavy hair draping over her shoulders, onto the black t shirt she wore which was accompanied with high waisted, yellow, loose fitting jeans and black converse. She looked so beautiful.
I then focused on her arm, at the tattoo I'd always wondered about.
011
What could that mean? How did she even get a tattoo so young?
" Hey El..." She looked at me. " Yes Mike? "
I grabbed her arm, " Uh what's this tattoo about? " I asked, looking at her arm and then at her again. She pulled her arm away and I could see she looked nervous. She hesitated,
" Mike, I've been lying to you. I'm sorry... " I could see how anxious she was, she was even getting teary eyed.
" E-El what are you talking about? " I was now nervous too. What could she mean? Lying? About what?
" Just...just come sit...it's time that you know..." she said, grabbing my hand and taking me to the couch.
El took a shaky breath, " I'm an experiment. " She looked at me. I was confused and didn't say anything. " Th-This number...it's my name...my identification actually..I was an experiment. " She shook a little. " Mike, I came from Hawkins lab. " A single tear fell down her face.
" E-El...I don't...I don't understand... " I was shocked, evidently.
" They used me as a weapon..." she paused
" I have powers. " She said and snapped her finger, causing the tv to turn on.
Holy shit.
She started to cry, " I'm a monster, Mike... "
" El no..you are not a monster. " I said. She's the farthest thing from a monster. She's a princess.
" I-I stayed home this week because I was hiding...I couldn't go outside because the lab was searching for me..." She revealed.
" There's more... " She said after a few seconds.
" it's okay, El. You can tell me. "
" W-Well when Will w-went missing a few years ago...h-he was taken. The Demogorgon, it's real. That whole g-game y-you guys play...it's r-real. That's why whenever W-Will plays it h-he gets q-quieter and more                 h-hesitant, it's not th-that he's f-focused on the game, it's that he's s-scared. " El said.
I took it all in.
The demogorgon, The thessalhydra, the Mind Flayer, it's all real? How?
" T-The Upside D-Down...that's what H-Hopper calls it... " She said.
I looked up at her.
" Mike I'm sorry...y-you probably h-hate me now... " she cried " I ruined e-everything...I-I'm a monster...I'm s-sorry... " She started to break down.
" El, look at me. " She did, tears still poured down her face. " You are not a monster. " She looked confused. " N-No? " She asked hesitantly. " No El, you're a princess. You deserve the world but life isn't fair..." I said.
" You really think that? " She asked. " Yes. You saved me El. " I paused and looked down.       
" The day we met, do you remember what I said to you when I was walking away? "
" Y-You said something about one more night, you were waiting to get there...waiting for me, right? " She looked confused now and was crying still.
I nodded. " I was going to go home and kill my self that night. Then you changed everything. I was waiting to get there, meaning I was waiting to finally go home and be free. But I was also waiting for you. I decided not to do it because I knew you were different and that you'd changed my life. And you did. " I said.
She looked down and started crying even more, I placed two fingers under her chin and lifted it up so she was looking at me. I gently wiped her tears and leaned in, kissing her.
She immediately kissed back, an arm draped over my shoulder, her other hand on my face.
I felt my heart beat out of my chest, I've wanted to do this for so long.
