Mike's POV
We've been walking for quart an hour. The teens are guiding us to- actually we don't know where are we going. Lucas and Max are holding hands now, talking about an experience she had a few years ago in California, Dustin and Will are talking about 'how much fun is going to have Dustin during his camp' and El and I are just... walking. Me staring at the hot ground, and Eleven watching every single thing of the coast landscape. Suddenly, I can feel her fingers trying to intertwine mine's. I let her and smile, while she looks at me and blush a little. I can't imagine losing her again. It's imposible. But the question that Max asked me an hour ago... Will? Or El? I didn't want anyone to be mad at me so I just didn't answer, though it was a really hard question. I know I can't lose El. But... Byers? Losing him? No way. My best friend. The best one of the party. I. Can't. Lose. Him. Either. Fuck. But... if I had to decide between dating El or meeting with Will... I think I prefer spending time with Will... I mean, he's the really one who I'm always with, without counting El now. This will be a nice thing to write about later in the journal. Anyways, a sweet voice interrupts my thoughts
"Hey Mike..."Eleven starts
"Hey El, is anything wrong?" She shakes her head
"Have you ever come to the beach before?"
"A few times, yeah. Why?"
"Cu-curiosity"
"Oh, okay. Sure you are alright?"
"Why couldn't you decide between Will and me?"
"Um... it's difficult to explain El. You both are the ones who I'm closer with and I can't decide between you and my best friend"
"Am I not your best friend?"
"Um... it's... different"
"Why?"
"Do... do you remember that time in the school canteen before the bad men arrived?"
"Yeah, you invited me to the snowball"
"Great. Do you remember why I invited you and not any other?"
"You said... you liked me"
"Yeah! And... um..." Is this the moment?
"Um...?"
"I-I still do... I still like you, El" Now I can see how El's mouth turns to an 'O' and lightly blushes
"Oh..."
"Do... do you like me back?"
"Mike I-" And of course something has to happen in this specific moment. Dustin starts groaning and whining
"Ugh Steeve how much long do we have to walk around? We're tired"
"Correction: you are" Lucas jumps out
"God we are almost there, please don't act like a five year old kid" Our momma Steve answers back
"Great, thank you" -Dustin sighs and continues- "And where the heck are we going by the way?"
"First you better watch your mouth" My sister now is who speaks
"We're taking a bus to go to the mall" And Jonathan finishes the sentence
"Wait, we're going to Starcourt? Guys that's awesome!" Max sounds excited again, seriously this is the best mood I have ever seen her in. She's not even this happy after a break up with Lucas
"Why that happinness?" I ask
"The new mall, you don't know about it?" Will is the first answering me
"Nope" -Lucas face palms himself.- "What?! I didn't hear that name before, for real"
