smithereens - twenty øne piløts

—————

It was a spectacular day for El Hopper as she was going on her very first date with her marvelous boyfriend, Mike Wheeler. Twas' the first time she had been out of the house she had resided in. For El's own safety, she wasn't permitted to leave the house for a whole year until it was completely safe for her to exit with no harm done while out.

The lovebirds had been planning a date for a while now and had made a decision to go to the Starcourt Mall. El's escort had finally arrived to chauffer her to the mall. "Goodbye sweetheart, have fun on your first date!" Hopper exclaimed, waving from the leather brown couch, his eyes glued to the television screen. El smiled, blushed lightly, and walked outside to be greeted by her date.

"W-Wow, you look, s-stun-gorgeous!" Mike stuttered. "So do you." El stated, caressing his cheek lightly. "Well, my mom is waiting. We should, uh, probably get in the car." He stammered, lightly taking the brunette's hand and guiding her to his mother's old cruiser. Michael opened the door for El, being the kind gentleman he was described as. After his lovely lady, he climbed in himself and strapped into the backseat chair of his car.

He felt his hand feel touched by a warm, soft one. He looked up into her autumn brown eyes which were gleaming in the evening, golden sunrays.

"I love you." El mouthed to Mike, to avoid the awkwardness of his mother being in the drivers position.

"Love you too." Mike mouthed back, giggling. The couple couldn't help but lean in for a long, great, kiss; but the kissing was brought to halt because of their arrival at their destination. Mike thanked his mother, grabbed El's hand, and ran into the enormous building that lay in front of their eyes.

"Are you ready to have some fu-uhn!?" Mike exclaimed, pumping a fist. "Yes." El replied, simply; hugging Mike and gazing into his dark, rich brown eyes. The couple was interrupted by a group of tweens around their age.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is? Psychotic super freak." One of them said. El gave an anxious look to Mike.

"Psychotic super freak?" Mike asked, steaming up from the amount of anger building up inside him.

"Don't you dare try calling her that or else! She is the most stunning girl I have ever met! She's more than stunning, she's smart, kind, loyal, I could go on and on all day about how she's the most amazing girl I've met."

The boy just laughed in Mike's face. He was much bigger than him, and could beat Mike up in a snap. "Homeboy standing up for his puny girlfriend?" The boy spat, mocking El. Mike glared at the boy's ugly face and punched him right in the stomach. "That's for calling her puny, psychotic, and a super freak."

"Ha! Try me. I can beat you to smithereens." The boy yelled, balling his hands into fists. Mike put his hands up in fear. "Alright, you're too scared? I'll beat up your nasty little girlfriend instead." The boy turned towards an afraid El.

"No." Mike stated, standing up. The boy whipped right around and started punching Mike everywhere. "Ow!" Mike yelped out in pain as it hurt: the gashes of crimson blood all over him.

El stood there in disbelief staring at Mike. She knew she wasn't supposed to, but she had to use her powers. El lifted the boy up and slammed him into the wall, a trickle of blood running from her right nostril. She wiped it away with her hand and bend down to help Mike up.

"Thank you for saving my life." He said, hugging her tightly. "No, I should be thanking you." El disagreed, politely. "You stood up for me when you could have easily backed out and had him beat me to the core. I love you so much." She grasped onto him and kissed him right in the lips, making his bloody cheeks turn a pink shade. "I love you too." Mike said, pulling away.

"I told you! She's psychotic super freak!" The boy shouted. Troy, one of the bullies from 2 years ago stepped up. "Remember me?" He asked, glaring at El. "I won't even give you the option, you broke my arm, I break your face!"

El braced herself for what was about to happen. "No." Mike said. "Your new friend already beat us up so isn't that enough?" He questioned. "Never enough for me!" Troy exclaimed, punching El right in the nose. She started to cry out in pain, out of realization the bullies weren't done yet. Mike jumped in front of her and took the second hit for El, by now he was knocked out on the ground.

   "You don't want to get hurt by how I hurt you again, do you?" El threatened. A fearful Troy shook his head no and quickly backed down. "N-No!" He quivered. "That's good." She stated. The group of teens hurried away, the boy she had slammed into the wall limping from the pain he had suffered for hurting Mike.

  "Mike are you okay?" El asked. "I-I am now that you're safe, a-and here." She lent a hand down to the broken-up boy and he took it and tried to balance on his two feet, but he couldn't and El had to catch him. She began to help him walk and they got some help from the *mall cop (hehe)*.

  Soon, they had Mike resting in the care center at the mall and his mother was on her way.

  "This is all my fault. I'm sorry." Mike cried out to El. "What do you mean?" El asked. "That we came here in the first place! I would do anything for you, if I didn't bring you here; none of this would've happened." Mike explained, throwing his hands out in anger. El frowned, and stepped back for there to be room for the nurse to come and clean Mike's bruises and cuts.

  "Ouch!" Mike yelped out in pain as she dabbed the warm, wet cloth onto his knee. "It's going to hurt, sweetie, I can't change that and I'm sorry; but we need to do this in order for you to get better." The nurse said, continuing to do her work on the knee.

   "El?" Mike called, El snapping out of her daydream about what she just witnessed.

  "Yes?"

  "Can you come a-and sit here?" Mike trembled, locking eyes with the young chesnut haired girl.

"Me?" She motioned pointing to herself.

"I need you to help me get well soon." Mike explained. "Your my medicene, my- El inturrupted his words by kissing him right on the lips, grabbing his hand.

  "I love you, and I can't believe you went through all of this for me. Thank you." El nodded.

  "It's the least I could do for you saving us from the demogorgon and the mindflayer!" Mike exclaimed, chuckling. El smiled down at him.

  "When I get out of here, I want to show you the world. For you, I would get beat to smithereens..."
