(you and Mike are a thing but things have gone a little downhill when Eleven comes into the picture)
THIRD PERSON
creeeeeeeeekkkkk
the door opens, revealing Eleven dressed in almost all black.
Mike's face softens and lets out a hitchy breath.
Eleven looks up at the group, but her eyes mainly land on Mike.
Y/n.... on the other hand... just stands there silently, head down, feeling nothing but sorry for herself.
she's been noticing how much Mike had loved her before she left, and when she did, how broken he became. y/n was just a normal girl to Mike then, nothing special anymore.
y/n couldn't stand it anymore, the way he looked at her. she could tell, he loves Eleven. not her.
the heartbroken girl ran outside through the back door, not making a sound.
no one even noticed she left.
MIKE POV
"-353 days" Eleven said to me, my smile dropped.
"why didn't you tell me you were there? that you were okay?"
"i-" she started, but her voice trailed off.
"i couldn't. i just couldn't. but, Mike, i like you. more than friend" she explained.
i did too. of course i did. but then something hit me.
nope it was just the sound of Lucas' voice... "MIKE!"
i flipped toward him, "yeah?"
"i cant believe you right now..." Max told me.
"what do you mean" i rolled my eyes at them, Eleven licked her lips, waiting patiently for me to tell her i liked her too.
"y/n, Mike! have you just completely forgot about her?!?" Dustin yelled.
y/n.
i turned toward where she stood, but she wasn't there.
"guys where's y/n??" i realized.
there was a quick pause before the boys started to yell y/n's name.
"y/n?!?" i headed outside, but was stopped by Eleven.
"Mike... do you like me back?"
"one second, Eleven"
"no Mike, i need to know"
"y/n could be in trouble"
"but Mike, i'm leaving soon to close the gate, there's a chance i might never come back!"
i stopped my panic for y/n, and looked at Eleven straight in her big brown eyes.
"don't say that... please."
"....i'm sorry" she bowed her head, i took my fingers and lifted her chin up, "it's okay. just promise me i won't lose you"
"you won't lose me"
"promise...?"
"promise" the girl in front of me said, and started to lean up to kiss me.
THIRD PERSON
Mike slowly leaned toward Eleven's lips, but was stopped suddenly at a figure standing barely in his peripheral vision.
Eleven saw Mikes's head turn toward the girl, so she looked back as well.
"y/n...."
"no it's fine Mike. i know the way you look at her. the look in your eyes. the way they sparkle when you hear her name. they way you look at her, your eyes practically screaming 'i love you El'. it's okay. i understand i'm not the one you love. i was never." and with that, y/n ran out of the Byers driveway.
(there is a part two)
