STRANGER THINGS S4/ "ONE MORE TIME"

Chapter 10.- "Romeo and Juliet"

A week later…

"Are you ready? ... please put on your belt, very carefully honey". Karen started the car while Mike entered the passenger seat, a week had passed and the doctor considered it was time to let him go home, had given him a huge list of recommendations and precautions to follow, especially after the last studies he did.

"I'm ready mom, let's go home please". Mike leaned his head over the window, thinking about the warnings the doctor had given him, he didn't want to think about it much, but he knew his mother and Nancy would remind him every minute of the day, they were the only ones who knew it, he didn't want to worry his friends, he didn't want to worry Eleven, after all, that was just precautions, simple sequels that his body would present, not that he was going to die or something.

**Flash Back ON**

 

"Mrs. Wheeler, Michael, Nancy, we have the results of the electrocardiogram, we were hoping that Michael wouldn´t present any sequel to what happened, but the results indicate that his heart was affected”. The doctor tried to be as calm as possible, seeing the worried expression on Karen and Nancy's face, they seemed about to explode in a sea of ​​questions, He waved to stop them and ask them to let him continue.

"Please let me finish, listen… I don't want you to be afraid, his heart works, the problem is that now it's …mmm ¿weaker?, many people learn to live with this condition, Michael will have to adapt to new habits, new eating habits, he will have to moderate physical activity, avoid any extreme emotions, otherwise he can have a perfectly normal life”.

"Hey! , it's ok, calm down". Mike took Nancy and Karen's hands, he wanted to cheer them up.

“Think that I was lucky, something worse could have happened, the only consequence is that I will not be able to practice some ¿extreme sport?, it's amazing for me!!…I mean, look at me, I'm at the science club so I can miss gym class”. Mike accomplished his goal, made his mother and sister laugh, he really didn't want to worry them, he didn't want to worry anyone.

“I'm glad you take it with a good attitude Michael, but as of today you must be very responsible, learn to know your limits and stop when necessary, stop playing hero, in a short time, when you adapt, you will return to your normal life, for now you must continue under observation and next Monday you can go home ”. The doctor gave everyone a smile and left the room.

 

"Ok Superman, now it will be everyone's responsibility to take care of you." Nancy said while ruffling Mike's hair.

 

"About that ... mom, Nance, you think we could keep the secret?... I mean, I'm not sick, it's just something that is now part of me, like snoring or talking asleep, I will take my precautions, be careful and it will be as if nothing happens, I don't think it's necessary to worry all my friends, I'm fine”. Mike smiled when His mother and sister agreed to keep the secret.

"I think now I'm more motivated to pass my driving test ... no more long bike rides, I guess".
