"You, me & a new goodbye" (Mileven/strangerthings)

PART 25.-The Last Night (Eleven's POV)

I loved writing this chapter from Eleven's point of view, I loved talking about Mike from her perspective.💕

 Eleven's POV

3:00 am

It was strange to sleep surrounded by boxes, most of my things were already packed, I can´t sleep, my brain does not stop, I do not stop thinking that tomorrow everything will change.

I finally had a life, I thought I could be happy, I had a father, a boyfriend, friends, I was no longer afraid and now I must run away again, my thoughts immediately go to Mike, I wonder if he will be asleep or will go around in the Bed like me, I would like to have my powers and appear in his room, see him, know if he is as sad as me, although if he is not, I don´t blame him...I have been a brat and stubborn, all this time he has only tried to protect me, he told everyone that he loved me and I know that all this time he has tried to tell me and that something that prevents him has always happened, I knew his intentions since that day at the store, even before Max will tell me about the cabin, before she confirmed that Mike yelled at everyone he loved me, maybe he thinks I don't realize it, but I know him, I know when he's nervous because he talks a lot and moves his hands a lot, blinks too much and says bad jokes…that's my favorite Mike and I have no doubt about his feelings for me, he thinks he should still say it, he thinks he should still prove it, but what he doesn't know is that he already did it, in words and actions, he has yelled at me "I love you" since he found me in the woods that rainy night ... And, what have I done? , I didn't trust him, I told him a liar, I left him alone, I didn't want to listen to him and even after that he stayed by my side, trying to recover me, I'm not good at these things and I have no idea what I'm going to tell him but I have to thank him for all his love….

I have all tonight to prepare my speech, I will tell him everything, everything I keep in my heart, I will tell him that he can be sure that everything he feel, I feel it too.

I will begin to tell him how grateful I am to have met him that night in the rain, the night he let me into his house and took care of me, he trusted me without knowing who I was, he wanted to protect me.

Then I will tell him how brave he was when confronting “Papa” and all those bad men that night at school, they were huge and he was so small and so willing to fight for me, a dangerous and stranger girl who had killed people.

I will tell him that it was brave the night he faced Hopp in the cabin the night I returned after 353 days, I remember the afternoon in which Hopp told me that history, Mike was outside waiting for me, it was Valentine's Day and he gave me some cards and the big photograph of that bird that he had in his basement, he said he wanted to give it to me because it reminded him of me, because the bird was free and he knew that one day I would be that free. He prepared a camping day a couple of kilometers away and I remember being prepared for a complete refusal by Hopp, he would not let me out of the cabin, but I remember him seeing Mike out the window, nervous, with a basket in his hands and he said to me:

"Just for today, Kid ... If that Wheeler dared to hit me, yell at me and insult me ​​for you, I think he can keep you safe for a couple of hours ... but I want you back at 5:00 pm"

I will thank him for those afternoons of kisses, the songs that he dedicated to me, all those afternoons watching movies, I'll tell him how nice it was that he didn't bother me because I fell asleep for the first 10 minutes of Star Wars, I knew it was his favorite movie.

I will tell him that I noticed each and every one of the attempts he has made to take care of me and make me feel loved and I will end up telling him that he is also completely loved… I will tell him that I love him with everything I am.

Just a few more hours and he will know…
