"I'm gonna love you until my lungs give out."

Mike's point of view, age 17

I kissed the girl that I held in my arms.

She was unsure of my love, I had to show her I was positive.

She saw me and Max talking about what to get El for Christmas. Then she saw Max and I hug, even after all these years, and having her as a best friend, she was still jealous

"El, I love you, you know that."

"Do I Mike? Do I really?" She sounded distressed.

I held her face in my hands, "Yes, yes you do," I whispered, and kissed her on the lips.

She pulled away, "Then tell me why! Tell me why I saw you and my best friend hug and then walk away together. Tell me why!" She said as she ripped from my arms.

"I can't tell you. I know that sounds bad, but you'll understand in a few weeks El. I would do nothing to hurt you. I wish you remembered that."

"I do, I just don't think it's true right now."

We stood on opposite sides of the room as she shouted at me.

A tear ran down her pretty face.

I calmly walked toward her, "Tell me why Mike, tell me why then."

"Fine, Max was helping me pick out your Christmas gift."

She looked up at me, hurt.

"Mike I'm so sorry."

"I love you El."

"I love you too," she said as she accepted my hug.

She was still sobbing, but this time she was mad at herself.

"Don't be mad at yourself, I would have been jealous too if I saw you with another guy without consoling me. That's why I wasn't so distraught. I will love you forever, Eleven Hopper."

"I love you too, Mike Wheeler. I will never stop loving you."

I pressed a kiss to my love's lips and all I wanted was to not need oxygen to breathe. I wish she was my oxygen source because she kinda is now.
