~El's POV~

I walked through star court mall for the first time in what?....4 years? I'm 18 now and haven't been back to hawkins since one christmas at mikes house. I remember that christmas so clearly.


~flash back~

I sat in the arms of the love of my life mike wheeler, feeling as safe as one could in my situation. I looked around the room at dustin who was sitting across from me, will who was sitting next to mike, lucas who was sitting next to dustin and max, and max who was sitting next to me. I smiled at max as the group chatted about some stupid game in the arcade. they all were betting on who would get the highest score. my best bet was on max. I giggled to myself as everyone denied knowing that max would definitely 'beat their asses'.

"does anyone else hear that" mike looked down at me, he looked serious, I guess I got to lost within my own thoughts to realize the low yet slowly getting louder rumble coming from outside. my heart stopped at sat there, I slowly lift my arm and put my hand on mikes arm. I tighter my grip on him to signal I was worried. Scratch that, terrified.

"what is that?" we all looked at each other, mike suddenly pulled me back behind him. There stood the....bad men. Me, mike, lucas, and dustin knew exactly who they were and what they wanted. Max and will was even more confused then she has ever been as mike cursed at them, screaming saying they couldn't have me. yet a ghostly voice spoke from behind them.

"then we will just have to take you" there stood papa. I ran forward, and stood in front of mike.

"papa." I said. his smile was unnerving and I couldn't stand looking into his dark eyes. He extended a hand. He wanted me to come back with him. shivers were sent down my spine. I turned around to face mike. He had tear streaming down his eyes he grabbed my hands.

"El please, let them take me" he said almost angelically to me. I couldn't, I couldn't let them take him, mike wheeler, the boy who found me in the rain, my first friend, my first kiss, my first love, my first boyfriend, the first person to ever care for me, the boy who's face is covered with stars, the boy whose eyes shined more then any planet or star ever could, the only one who could relax me in even the worst situations, the only one who has ever truly known me.

"No. Mike you were my first friend, the first person i trusted, you gave me a home" i said as i walked toward him and placed my forehead on his while looking into his eyes.

"El please, i can't let them hurt you. not after everything" he said ever so softly. I smiled with tears rushing to the floor. I kissed him in front of everyone, i could feel his love, i could feel him mike wheeler rush through me just once more. As i let go of him and turned to walk toward him. I was suddenly pulled back and fell into max's arms while in front of me stood mike walking toward papa. I screamed I cried, I did everything i could. They started to walk away with him, he looked at me with teary eyes.

"I love you El, ill be back soon." he said with a sad smile.

"MIKE NO, TAKE ME PAPA TAKE ME" I screamed, i tired to run after them but i wasn't fast enough. my powers left me after battling in the star court mall a couple months ago and i wished they never did, or else i would have killed them all. The tears streamed down my face as I ran after the van. I suddenly tripped in the street and fell to my knees under the moonlight. All i could do was sit there and cry. everyone came running out of the house and stared at me.

"MIKE?!" called nancy looking into the distance for the van.

"WHERE IS MY SON?!" called karen wheeler, and at her side little holly who was walking over to me. She sat next to me with tears in her eyes, i was the closet thing she had to mike beside her family. She wrapped her arm around me as her tears fell yet mine fell harder.

Everyone stood there in shock. After holly let go i ran to joyce and begged to have her help me find him. we tried for a week but no luck. I had to go home to illinois where we moved to. I cried for a long time and internally I never think I stopped crying.

~End of flash back!~

I stood in this mall looking around remembering the haunting things that happened within here. I pushed mike so far down into my soul, i made it my job to forget what happened and pretend he was someone i used to know, after that i cut off all contact with everyone here. Will would try to tell me things but even then i cut myself off from him which sucks. I made all new friends in illinios and never went back to hawkins. Will did, he seemed to be there almost all the time to hang out with his friends. I just couldn't bare any reminders of him it killed me inside. Yet something this year made me come back, something was.....different. suddenly i was Lucas staring right at me looking unsure. He was much taller and leaner, He waved at me and i waved back, he walked up to me.

"El?" he asks.

"Hi Lucas" i smiled softly. He gave me a tight hug after a tear filled smile.

"how are you?!" he asked.

"Im good haha I've been working really hard for school and stuff back in illinios." I giggled as i said.

"well its really great to know you are ok" he said with a reassuring smile. Suddenly i saw dustin running over from behind him. He was taller and wearing a scoops ahoy shirt. steve used to work that job haha.

"LUCAS I JUST FOUND STEVE AND RO-..Whos that?" He said staring at me. i laughed at him, I'm not surprised he didn't remember me though.

"are you really that stupid" Lucas slapped him arm.

"Its El" as lucas said that dustin went wide eyed and stared at me like i was a monst- an alien.

"El?! Holy fucking shit dude!" He exclaimed. He engulfed me in a tight hug and almost crushed me in the process.

"Hey Dustin!" I said happily. I love them both and i missed them quite a bit. My tears started to well up and I let them fall after years of holding it in.

"I missed you guys!" I exclaimed. Suddenly though the moment turned sour as I pulled away. I suddenly was forced to remember mike. My fave visually became fearful as mikes face plagued my brain, the way his eye sparkled and the way his lips Felt. Everything just became a lot.

"El are you alright?!" I heard from in front of me. I looked up to see Steve and robin who had join us. I looked at Lucas and Dustin and they understood.

"I know El. We haven't heard anything from him at all, we still can't find him." My heart sank but I just kept trying to push it down lower and lower. Suddenly I remembered something.

"Oh guys, look!" I said as I moved
My hand and made dustins hat levitate.

"Omg your powers they are back!" Said Dustin. Lucas smiled and Steve clapped his hands for me.

"Hey I know this might be really far fetched but...what if you found mike with your powers? You don't have too but..what if." Said robin as she came closer to me. I didn't know her very well but I did trust her. The thought of finding mike was a sweet poison. I knew I could try and maybe even find him but I also know he might now be alive anymore..

Should I try??

~ hello ^(OuO)^ I'm sorry I've been MIA school has just been whack. But I thought I'd let you decide what el should do by commenting for this part one of this maybe little series that will be sprinkled in between other oneshots
If you would like! I love you all!~
