All I See Is You [mileven]

Scaredy-cat

"Come on El don't be a pussy" Max laughed at her.

"I'm not I just don't like scary movies okay?" El pouted.

It was Saturday night, Max and El were having a sleepover and Max thought it would be a great idea to watch poltergeist much to El's disapproval.

"Oh come on it's not even that scary." Max smirked.

"Lucas said it is." El crossed her arms.

"Yeah well Lucas is scared of E.T so." Max chuckled.

El just laughed and nodded. She remembered back to when she watched E.T for the first time and Lucas complained about how much he hated that little alien. El didn't understand, she thought he was quite cute.

"Please El." Max pouted.

"Fine but if I have nightmares it's on you." El rolled her eyes and went into her room to grab some blankets.

Max made them some popcorn and got chocolates then they sat down and pressed play.

The entire way through the movie El was getting really scared, she had to cover her eyes with the blankets and she attempted to look around the room and focus on anything else. Max was completely oblivious to this and had her eyes glued to the screen. The only time Max looked away was when El screamed at the jump scare when the little boy, Oliver checks under his bed and then gets grabbed by the toy clown.

"Jesus El. You scared me more than the fucking clown." Max burst out laughing at her terrified best friend.

It was past 11 o clock when they finished watching the film and El was sweating. She constantly felt on edge, almost convinced that a green hand was going to reach out of the TV set, just like in the film.

"I'm going to go and get ready for bed" Max announced before getting up and making her way to the bathroom.

El was alone, sat on the couch in the living room, the lights were on but it didn't make her any less scared. She decided to distract herself and go and get changed into her pjs in her room.

Once she was dressed she's made her way over to her mirror so she could tie up her hair. She grabbed a pink hair tie and scraped up her hair into a messy bun. She was just about to finish when she thought she saw something behind her. She spun around and it was just Mike's jacket hanging off the door. Her heart was in her mouth, she was so on edge and she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

She walked over to the jacket and took it in her hands. She slumped on the bed and brought the jacket up to her face, the scent of Mike instantly calming her down.

Mike, she thought. I'm going to call Mike.

She ran into the living room and seized the phone, dialling his home number. Luckily Mike was down in the basement so he answered the call before the phone could wake anyone up.

"Hello?" Mike said down the phone, confused as to who would be calling at this hour.

"Mike?" El's soft voice echoed down the line.

"El? Are you okay." Mike panicked.

"I'm scared, Max and I watched a scary movie." El said quietly, leaning against the wall.

"Awh is my girlfriend a scaredy-cat?" Mike chuckled into the phone.

"Don't laugh at me." El pouted, she knew she was being stupid but she couldn't help it.

"I'm sorry. Is Max still there? Do you want me to come over?" Mike asked.

"She's still here, just getting ready for bed. I just needed to hear your voice, I knew it would calm me down." El sighed.

"And did it?" Mike said.

"Yes, although I still won't be able to sleep." El said, frowning, still picturing the movie in her mind.

"Well if you want I can talk to you on my super-com all night, I'm doing nothing tomorrow so it doesn't matter if I have a late night." Mike said, hoping she would say yes.

"Okay yeah, we need to wait until Max is asleep though." El mumbled in case the red head heard her.

"Okay gorgeous, call me when you're ready." Mike said.

"Okay, talk in a bit." El replied.

"Bye El."

She ended the call and waited until Max came out of the bathroom so she could take her makeup off and clean her teeth.

Max fell asleep around midnight after an hour of giggling and girl chat.

They were both in El's bed so El slid out from under the covers and grabbed her super-com. She left the room and closed the door, she made her way into the living room as best she could in the dark. She used her hands to find the couch and sat, covering herself with a blanket.

"Mike? You still there?" El whispered in case he accidentally fell asleep.

He responded within a second "yeah El I'm here."

El instantly felt at ease, his voice instantly relaxing her. She wished there was a way for her to see him, like see his face while they called. She wondered if anything like that would be invented in the future.

"How are you doing?" Mike asked.

"I'm doing okay, still scared, especially with the lights off." El whispered.

"Aww beautiful it's okay I'm here, I'll stay up as long as you need." Mike said.

El swore she could've melted there and then. What did she do to deserve him?

"I love you." El blurted out.

"I love you too El." She could tell he was smiling.

They talked for hours until El finally fell asleep around 4am. Mike just laid there and listened to her even breathing, smiling to himself and he fell asleep shortly after.
