el hopper sat on her front porch in boredom as she waited. the silence of the seemingly long day making her want to cry, so with not much thought she pulled out her supercomm and turned it on, switching it to the only channel she knows she can reach.

"hey el." Mikes voice echoed on the other line. El paced on her porch and watched a tree in the forest in front of her sway.

"hi mike." she spoke sweetly, twirling a piece of hair around her finger.

"what are you doing today?" mikes voice spoke on the other end of the device. his voice slightly scratchy due to the long but seemingly short distance.

el looked around the long stretch of land in front of her that was hauntingly empty, "nothing. are you coming over today?" she bit her lip softly as she spoke.

mikes loud voice booms over the box that she held so closely to her head, she pulled it away slowly, "yes! i have nothing else better to do today. holly and my mom are our having a girls day and my dad is napping in the recliner as usual." she put it back to her ear as she listened.

"nancy and jonathan aren't there?" she asked with a questionable tilt of her head, her once long hair that she had grown out over the years, cut short again upon recent request.

his voice echoed over the other side, "they are out house hunting in indianapolis." he soothed her questions with just one answer. mike was like that, always seeming to give her the right answers to all her questions.

"oh." she said, her mouth a small 'o' shape.

"yeah..." he trailed off awkwardly.

she cleared her throat and moved on, trying to push past the awkward silence that they had created. "well your coming right? because i cannot be here when hopper gets home mike..." el said, seeming to speak the truth as she new her father was violent. he did have quite a temper.

and 'quite' a temper was putting it lightly.

one time when el was sixteen, hopper had caught el sneaking out to go to mikes house and about knocked her teeth out. her dad was yelling and screaming and slapping her silly until her face was burning red.

when el went to school the next day with a half a pound of concealer on her face, mike noticed and he immediately took concern. he asked her a million questions and asked if she was okay and what happened. typical boyfriend questions because mike cared for her.

he truly cared for her.

he truly loved her.
