*Readers pov*
We are all chilling inside the home. It's been like half an hour since El went in the room to do her magic and search.
Mike: What is she gets brain-damage?!
Lucas:...Wait...can she?
Max: Uh, No! He made it up!
I stand up from the couch and head to the counter where Nancy, Jonathan and Will are.
You: Is there some alcohol?
Nancy: Why? Are you hurt?
You: Nah, I want to have a drink with you.
I flirt in boredom.
Jonathan: Okay, can you not hit on my girlfriend?
Nancy: I thought we broke up.
Jonathan: Sorry...I'm used to it.
She looks back at me and winks. She pours us both champagne as I pick mine up.
You: You are such an amazing person.
She giggles as she blushes.
You: I know a place we can take a drink after I kill that thing. When we are all alone-
My sweet talk is ruined.
Mike: Right, One?!
I turn around pissed off.
You: What?
Mike: She could hurt herself!
I take a sip of my drink.
Max: This is the exact reason why she dumped you!
*Flashback*
We all hop on our bikes from the disappointment of not finding El an apology gift. We see El and Max both walk up to us.
Max: What are you doing here?! Oh, hi, One.
I wave.
Mike: I was about to ask the same thing. You can't be here, El! Its againt the rules!
Max: She can do what she wants.
El: I have my own rules.
I put on my helmet in disappointment of this situation now.
You: Need a ride, girls?
I say reving my bike.
El: Thanks but no fucking thanks, One.
Max: You said it in a bad way, El. What did I tell you about learning to talk from One?
El: Oh. Sorry if I came off mean, One.
I chuckle.
You: I know what you meant.
I pat her head as she giggles.
El: We'll catch a bus.
The bus is waiting for them.
El: As for you, Mike.
She walks up close to him.
El: I dump your ass.
The boys are all left speechless as Mike looks destroyed.
I can't believe this. Me and Hopper got them broken up with. Looks like El is happy so I don't regret it.
They enter the bus laughing.
*Flashback End*
I spit out a bit of my drink when she said that as I begin laughing my ass off.
Mike: You find that funny?!
I straighten my back as he comes close to me, squaring up.
You: Yeah. A little fucking pussy like you makes me laugh.
Mike: You are doing what Max is doing! Splitting her away from me! I know every moment, The School Snow Ball dance you took her. The times you make her giggle and she smiles at you. Made us apart whenever we were together!
You: I swear if you take another step I will fucking-
Nancy pulls me back.
Mike: Fuck you! All because of you I am even more scared for Eleven. I love her so much I don't want her to leave again!
You: She dosen't fucking love you! All I see is a prick that is pulling away the only thing that keeps me alive! I would be dead without her and you use her to the point of her not loving you! You don't see me getting jealous or using her.
Mike: You asshole!
He punches me in the cheek.
There are gasps heard by everyone.
Mike: Look, I'm sorry-
Its too late as I punch him hard enough to be sent into the other side of the room and onto the wall. My face starts to melt off as I look at him.
You: Fuck you.
Lucas: One!
My skull looks at him as he begins screaming in fear. I run to finish him off but everyone tackles me.
Max: This isn't you, One! The One I love would st-
They all get off me when they see no face on my head. I quickly pull out my bandana and wrap it all around my face. All around. Calming down but still being angry.
El: Whats happening?
You: Not a single fucking word. And if you touch me again, I'll kill these guys if they try to stop me with you.
El: What?...
I kick the door open and run out into the woods. After some running I sit onto a broken tree on the ground.
MindFlayer: They all think of you as a monster. A inhumane lab rat.
You: Get out my head. Should have known that you would still be in my mind after you occurred back to Will.
MindFlayer: Its true though. You are a lab rat. Number 1 lab rat.
You: Maybe.
MindFlayer: Everyone hates you. Everyone thinks you're a crazy psycho.
You: So, you know where we are. When will you send that thing to us?
MindFlayer: Oh, it's coming.
You: I'm too late...
MindFlayer: Indeed. Not like they ever want to see you again. Your...skull thing problem.
You: I helped though. I helped Hopper, The Boys, El...
MindFlayer: Yes but you also hurt Hopper.
Høppəř: FUCK YOU, ONE! YOU ARE A MONSTER!!
MindFlayer: and the boys.
Wįļļ: FUCK YOU, ONE!! NO ONE LOVES YOU!
MindFlayer: and Eleven.
ĘŁ: Fuck you, One! I HATE YOU! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I WISH I NEVER MET YOU AND YOU DIED IN THAT LAB!!
The only reason why I am alive said that to me?...
You: It's not my fault.
MindFlayer: Thats where you're wrong, One, you did this to yourself. Now, they all hate you.
You: No...It's Eleven that helped me not be dead right now. I...she wouldn't...
MindFlayer: Denial...
You: Shut the fuck up...leave me alone.
I take off my bandana, my face back to normal as I put it back into my pocket.
You: You are dead, MindFlayer...
MindFlayer: See you in your visions, One.
My walkie-talkie is spirling with static
Lucas: ONE!! ONE!!! PICK UP!!!
You: Whats happening?
Lucas: I have been trying to reach you for 5 minutes, the thing is here!!
Nancy: Quick, Lucas! Use that axe to chop it down! El needs help!
The radio stops as silence is filled with nature. I start running back with super speed.
