Say you won't let go•mileven

"Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most."

Eleven's point of view, age 15

I sat on the floor of my bedroom crying my eyes out.

I had horrible PTSD and Hopper wouldn't let Mike come over, we might have gotten in trouble for cuddling after school one day.

I put the blindfold on and hoped he could find me.

I saw him, he was on his bike.

"Mike," I whispered, choking back a sob.

"I n-need you."

I heard a light tap at the window.

I sprinted toward it and let the boy in.

"What's wrong," he whispered wiping a tear from my face with his thumb.

I shook my head, "I- I think I'll be fine, I have one less thing to worry about now. Your presence makes it better."

He pulled me into a tight hug as I still choked back a sob.

That vision of that horrible place.

Mike's arms wrapped around my body made me smile, I was finally not alone in this complicated world.

He kissed me on the top of the head and pulled me closer, he figured out how to calm me by just one simple touch.

He leads me over to my bed and lays down.

"I love you, I love you, I love you," he mutters into the top of my head as I had my face buried into his chest.

I couldn't respond, but I felt the same, he knows it. We've only said it a thousand times.

I looked up at him, a tear running down my face, I shook my head. He nodded, understanding what I mean.

He pulled my head closer to him and pressed his lips to mine firmly.

Sometimes the thing that would hurt others, could make me feel almost completely better.

As we needed air, I looked at the curly haired boy in front of me.

"I love you too, curly."

He smiled and pulled me into a hug.

I felt complete at this moment. He was always there for me, and I was always there for him.
