your pov.

When my eyes flutter open i see mike and 11 staring at me, i feel something cold running down my nose. i touch it only to see red all over my fingers. my nose was bleeding pretty badly at this point getting all over my neck. i see mike relax and smile in relief. "good you're awake! i didn't know what happened and i was scared" he hugs me while 11 scoffs and walks away. "w-w-what happened" is all i manage to croak out . my throat was on fire and extremely sore. mike eyes open wide but his shoulders shrug in a disapproving manner. "i don't know.  one moment you're going to change in the bathroom.. next you're screaming then passed out on the bathroom floor." that's when all the memories of the upside down, will, and that demon come flashing into my head. the blood slowly starting to dry as mike says "i'm going to get a wet towel to clean it up." me and 11 sit in silence as we watch him walk away. her eyes then fall onto mine.

"you should go" 11 says with a soft but stern voice. all i can do it look at her and sit straight up to face her with what strength i had still being exhausted. i keep wondering what i did that was such a threat to her. "he loves me , not you . he could never love someone like you" my eyes widen with disbelief. there was some feeling in my chest that i couldn't quite figure out. tears were brought to my eyes as i stared at someone i considered family. i opened my mouth to speak and ask her "why , why are you doing this, why do you hate me, what did i do" but all that came out was silence and my eyes dropped to my feet. tears slowly started falling to my lap.

by this time mike came out of the bathroom the blood was all dried up and stopped gushing out of my nose. i didn't notice mike walk over to me due to the fact my tears came at a faster pace and my throat was more dry than ever. he puts his thumb on my chin and lifts my head up gently. he used the towel to clean the dry blood off my face, without saying a word about why i was crying. he then puts the towel on the tables and cups his hands around my face. i freeze not knowing what to do and well i still can't say anything. he wipes the tears away and turns to 11 his hand still on my face.

"don't talk to her like that ever again." he says calmly. she takes a step back in shock. my eyes just widen and i look at him then her. "w-what a-are y-you t-talking a-about" she says as she goes pale her face wiped of any happiness, anger, sadness, and just replaced with one emotion.. disbelief. mike turns away from her to me and smiles. i still have a shocked look on my face as i go to say something but mike shushes me "your throats too dry and probably strained. just rest here i'll go get water" he says as he lets go of my face and starts to get up. before he stands all the way up i grab his hand he looks down at me. "t-thanks" i say with all the strength i could manage. "it's no problem, i saw the way she was treating you which isn't right. i wasn't going to keep letting it happen especially not to someone i care about so heavily." he says as he turns away 11 goes to him before he could reach the stairs but ignores her and walks up them to get me a cup of water.

11 collapses onto the ground staring at it as if something would change if she looked away. we sit in silence. neither of us daring to say anything. well at least i can't say anything. what would i even say. "haha you're wrong go cry?" no she's still supposed to be my sister and i still love her. "well looks like mike choose me over you" what did he choose me for? all he did was tell 11 to quit acting like she was. i shake my head of those thoughts as mike walks back down to the basement. "here you go ma'lady" as he bows when handing me the water. i grab the water from his hands as he comes back up to face me with a cute smile.

i gulp the water down happily , my throat feeling cool as the water touches it. mike grabs my ankles gently raising them as he sits down at the end of the couch putting them on his lap. 11 is still having a staring contest with the floor. "you know i haven't known you for very long" he says looking straight ahead. i look at him hanging onto his every last word. "but i want to know you more, i want you to be with me 24/7, to be happy, to laugh, to smile, to hang out with my friends" by this point his gaze meets mine and we're both staring at each other.

11 hears everything he said , she gets up and runs upstairs and out the front door. "oh shit!" mike says jumping off the couch causing my legs to fall on the ground. i sit up and watch him run upstairs as i hear him say "i think my mom is here! she'll tell hopper that 11 stayed the night and we'll all be dead!" he runs after 11 . i'm sitting alone in the basement . scared 11 and mike are gonna get in trouble. more so mike then 11. i don't get why 11 can have a family and i can't. all i've ever wanted was to be loved by a family and love them back. it's just not fair.
