mike the asshole

✰。˚ 。✰˚* ˚ 。✰ •

will stared at the texts. alex looked at him, still waiting. 

mike: will

mike: can we talk? i feel like im losing u 

mike: pls i miss u dude 

mike: i rlly wanna talk :(

will looked down at his phone, his heart beating faster in his chest. mike wanted to talk to him. this time will wasn't the one to ask, it was mike. mike still needed him, mike still wanted him. mike chose him.

will was about to reply and tell alex he needed to take a call when mike sent another message that made will's heart drop

mike: i'm sorry for being so distant lately, eleven and i went on a little weekend trip,. we've grown rlly close, dude not to be all cheesy n shit but i feel like she's my soulmate. idk ig from that moment i saw her in the woods, i knew there was something about her. she's just the best will

mike: u meet any cute girls over there? lol 

will's grasp on his phone tightened. he grit his teeth and ignored the hot angry tears forming in his eyes. 

eleven. it was always about eleven. mike brought her up any chance he could, he was obsessed with the idea that she was some sort of angel sent down to earth to be his 'keeper.' 

will knew he would always choose her. he was in love with her for godsakes! will wanted to believe so badly that mike would go back to the way he was before he met eleven, before anything happened and when they were all normal. they were supposed to go crazy together, mike promised him. but he had changed, forgetting all about the incident that happened on halloween, forgetting the way he held will in his arms after the panic attack he had, forgetting how he held his hand in the basement on mike's couch and then ended up falling asleep together, still holding hands.

he was different after he got closer to eleven. the moment he kissed her, the moment he chose her first over will, that's when will lost him. he was no longer mike wheeler the boy will loved for ages. he was mike wheeler; the boy crazy in love with some stupid girl. 

will typed out a text, the anger and hurt inside of him rising. 

will: i can't srry. 

will: i'm busy with a friend rn. 

will: later ig. have fun with eleven. 

mike: can't u take just one call tho?? 

mike: we haven't spoken in weeks and now ur gonna ditch me for some friend you've known for what? a few months? will i'm ur best friend man, what happened to that? what, u think just bc u moved to a new town ur all high and mighty? we still exist yk.

will grit his teeth. how dare mike say that to him? how dare he! after abandoning will so many times? after choosing her over him? this wasn't mike. this was a blind fool in love.  

will threw his phone onto the ground and clenched his fists. alex dropped his skateboard and walked over to him. 

"will?" he asked, putting a hand on his shoulder.
