"A- and then, I smacked her hand away and I yelled at h-her.. and she looked so scared Will. She was scared of me, El was scared of me." Mike sputtered out, a hysteric mess. Will had seem him torn up before but this was different, because this time it involved El.
But not like the times he was a wreck because she was missing or doing something dangerous for the greater good, no. This time it was because of him.
Will reached an arm around him and patted his shoulder gently.
"Mike, El will forgive you, she loves you. She's just a little unnerved right now. Give her time." Will said softly, gaining a nod in response from the raven haired boy.
"My parents are getting a divorce, Will." Mike said softly. Will's expression changed, feeling quite sorry for his best friend.
"I'm so sorry Mike." He said.
"No, its okay, it was bound to happen sometime. I guess I just never thought that my parents would be the ones splitting up." Mike replied, shaking his head slowly.
"My mom, she's been unhappy for a while. She deserves this, she deserves love just like everyone else. It just sucks I guess, that she couldn't have been in love with my dad." He confessed. Will nodded.
"You're right, and try not to think too much about the future. Just let it happen, it'll be hard for a while but you'll get through it, and so will Nance and Holly." Will said sincerely.
"But hey, this won't be worse than loosing El for 353 days right? Mister "I called you every night. Every night!"" Will joked, imitating Mike on the night El came back. Of course he wasn't awake for the moment, but Lucas and Max had teased him about it afterwards.
"No, that was horrible...oh my god what am I gonna do Will?! She going to leave me!" Mike exclaimed.
"Mike were you not listening to me when I said she loves you and she'll forgive you? I wasn't lying you know, and she's not going to leave you! You dingus." Will chided.
"I need to talk to her, I need to make things right Will, I have to!" Mike said and went to get up, Will grabbed his arm, keeping him on the couch.
"As much as I agree with that statement, you need to wait until tomorrow. It's almost 10:50, she's probably asleep by now." Will explained, standing up from the couch. Mike huffed, he knew Will was right, but part of him wanted to run to her now. To make things right, now.
But alas, he silently prepared for sleep, cozying up on the sofa while Will padded to his room.
And while Mike lay awake, his brain ran 90 miles a minute, thoughts of El and his family consumed him until he fell into a dark, dreamless slumber.
Not even knowing that El was experiencing something quite similar.
time skip yeetum 🤪
Mike knocked the sequence of knocks with a worried frown on his face. What if she didn't answer the door? What if she's still asleep? What if she tells me to leave? What if she's really mad?
Mike stood there for a minute, debating what he wanted to do. He knocked again.
"El, baby, can I talk to you? Please? I need to apologize.." He called gently. Another minute passed before she opened the door.
She lingered inside, opening the door for Mike to come in, he entered the cabin, shutting the door behind him.
"El I'm so sorry, for scaring you. I didn't mean to I promise, and it'll never happen again, I was just in a bad mindset and I took it out on you, and I shouldn't have done that, I never should have done that-" Mike rambled, facing El. His face swept with an expression of guilt.
"Mike it's okay." She uttered softly. "Really.. I understand. I shouldn't have pushed you away." She muttered avoiding his eyes.
"El I don't want you to ever feel like like you aren't safe with me, ever. If I start to act like an idiot again please let me know." He said, a slight joking tone near the end, though he spoke pure truth.
"Okay." She said, cracking a small smile. She leaned forward to hug him tightly. "I love you Mike, so much." She muttered into his shirt. Mike grinned as he wrapped his arms around her small frame.
"I love you too El. Forever." He whispered in reply.
"Forever" El whispered back.
