Love triangle

2. Run and cry

~ WILL'S POINT OF VIEW ~

I get out of the bathroom, the face all red because I cried so much and run straight out of the gym. I don't want Mike to see me crying and ugly like that. I also don't want to see Mike and Eleven. In love. Together. Without me.

I'm outside now, but I have a problem. I told my mom to come get me at 12:00 PM, but it's only 10:30 PM., so she's not here. I'm approximatively 20 minutes away from my house if I walk. I don't know what to do. I don't really want to walk home during 20 minutes, so I turn back and enters into the Snow Ball for the second time in the evening.

My eyes, by themselves, find Mike before my brain tell them yo not look at him because it will hurt me. I immediately see him, laughing with Eleven. The broken pieces of my heart all break again. I run out the gym again. I just can't see them all night. I'll just walk home.

It's the third song El and I dance together, I'm so happy that she came. I thought she wasn't gonna come, because I hadn't see her in a month and I didn't know if Hopper would let her come. But she explained me that she needed to have a birth certificate before having people to see her. But now, she has one and we can hang out together all summer.

- Uh, El, do you want a drink?
- What is "drink"?
- Uh, it's something we drink in parties.
- Okay. I want a drink.
- Okay. I'll go pic you one. Try not to be attacked by a Demogorgon!

We start laughing. I make a step to go see Nancy at the snack table, but something catch my attention. It's someone running out of the gym. And the someone looks just like Will.

I turn around to see if Eleven is looking at me, but she's looking at the decorations. So I run out of the Snow Ball too, because if the person I saw is really Will, I wanna know why he's going away and if he's okay. But when I get out of the gym, there's nobody. It's like if the person had disappeared.

I continue to run and run and run and run for another three meters, then I stop because I feel like I'm gonna explode and I need to catch my breath. Then I continue to walk home during 15 minutes. When I finally arrive home, I'm all red, covered with sweat, and I run out of energy. I feel like there's no longer saliva in my mouth.

I open the door. Jonathan is watching TV and mom is cooking cookies. She turn around and see me.

- Will honey, you're there? she says, then she look at the clock on the wall and continues: It's only 11:00 PM!
- Uh, I know, but... Uh... No one was dancing anymore. It was boring.
- Okay, but... Are you okay? You look sad. Did you cry, honey?
- No mom, I'm okay, I say more agressively that I wanted.

I don't let her the time to answer, I just go straight to my room and slam the door. I'm angry. I'm so angry, but I don't know why. Maybe I'm angry at Mike, for not loving me. Maybe I'm angry at Eleven, for stealing Mike's heart. Maybe I'm angry at mom, because she hadn't guess I love boys. Or maybe I'm just angry at myself because I love a guy that will never want to be with me. Angy because I love boys and not girls. Loving boys is just weird. I think I may not be normal. Maybe I should see a therapist. Should I see a therapist? Am I normal?

Am I a monster?

Suddenly, all the angryness inside me just disappear, and I just start crying. I cry and I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I cry, and I...

I fall asleep crying.
