Stranger Things Mike Novels & Stories

"Jess, don't lie to me. Your mom was fine. She was fine." Cathy let out a small laugh. "Mikey, she's obviously making it up. If her mom really died, where's the body? Don't let her fool you." This time, Mike ignored her. His focus was entirely on me. "Jess, stop this. If you don't want Cathy here, I'll find another place for her in a few days, alright? Just give me some time." I let out a hollow laugh. "No. That's never happening."

He walked forward, stopping in front of us and bent down, grabbing Mike’s unconscious body. “No!” I cried, stepping forward. “Let him go! What do you want with him?” Stiles ignored me and carried Mike down the hallway. Adam’s fists clenched. “What the hell are you doing?” he demanded. “What is all this?” Uncle Chen smiled calmly. “Oh, you want to know? It’s all part of the plan. And Mike is a very important piece.” My brows furrowed. “What plan?” Maria walked toward the center table and picked up the remote. “It should already be on the news by now.”

“I’ve just... had a weird week.” Mike showed up five minutes later, designer sunglasses, black coat, and a dramatic sigh. “Remind me why I came back to this frozen hellhole.” “Because you love us,” Ava and I said in unison. We found a table and ordered coffee and soon we were catching up on everything—the farm, Ava’s dad being suspicious about her having a boyfriend, Mike’s fight with his older brother over their family’s business. I laughed, I nodded, I even told them about my cousin Dani. But I didn’t mention Adrian.

Mike frowned, not immediately reacting, as if the words didn’t quite land the way they were supposed to. “What do you mean by ‘acting weird’?” he asked, his voice low but steady. There was a pause on the other end just long enough to make his chest tighten. “I don’t know how to explain it,” Mike said. “I just walked in and found him like this. He didn’t hear me come in at first. He was just… standing there. Staring. Like he was waiting for something, or someone.” Mike straightened, his grip tightening around the phone. “Found him? Found who?” he pressed, confusion creeping in now.

This had to be a nightmare, I pinched myself to check, and the sting registered immediately. Mike had said that Avery was his childhood friend, that they had grown up together, he was always close to her, ghosting me sometimes to go to events with her, but I never thought anything of it because I trusted him. Even when she made snide remarks about me to my face, he would always support her, it all made sense now. They were so engrossed in the moment that they hadn’t noticed me or the open door. Tears pricked the corner of my eyes as Mike's eyes finally met mine. His eyes widened. He looked like a thief who had been caught red-handed. He pulled out and stepped back, shuffling with his pants,

Someone trying to put on a fucking eyesore to get a reaction. But who the fuck could it be? “Any sight of Lizzy?” “Not a damn thing,” Mike answers, swiping his sweaty forehead with his arm. “I talked to some folks around here. Nobody saw shit out of nowhere.” I scoff. “What the hell? A damn cop family gets targeted, and suddenly everyone’s blind?”

"I didn't know his secret agenda! Besides, he seemed to enjoy the chase that night!" The room went deathly silent. Ethan took a slow sip of water, his expression unreadable. Tyler followed suit. I tried to pivot the conversation. "Did you breach the Moreau Academy? And were you the ghost in the Silvercrest systems?" Mike raised his hands in a solemn vow. "It wasn't me! I’d claim it if it were. My skills are top-tier, but I didn't pull those triggers." He shot me a pointed look. His eyes screamed: It was your son.

"I just finished dealing with the sabotage issue at the charity event. It seems the rats are starting to be brave enough to roam around our property." ​I glanced briefly toward Dominic. He was standing behind his large desk, signaling with his hand: don't get provoked. ​"Oh, really?" I replied softly, trying to sound naive. "You always know how to handle problems elegantly, Mike. Don't let it ruin your day." ​"I miss you," Mike said suddenly. His voice lowered, becoming a deadly whisper that made me freeze instantly. "After work, don't go back to the apartment. Come straight to my private studio. There is something I want to show you. Something very... personal."

Asa naman siy--- "What the hell?" Manghang tanong ko dahil naka-singit kami! Maganda pa lang gumawa nang eksena tapos nasa unahan na kayo. "Pasalamat ka sa 'kin magaling akong mag-panggap." Naka-ngising ani ko. Pero pinakita niya lang sa akin ang gitnang daliri niya. Nasaan ang manners nito? Baka naiwan sa baba. "Now we're just a stranger,"kanta ng vocalist. Hindi pa pala tapos ang kanta nila. Ang bagal naman.

"Is Rose your childhood friend?" I shook my head. "We met in high school." Mike nodded and we continued to talk about random things as we ate our dinner. I was surprised to know that Mike's favorite show was Stranger Things. I didn't expect it at all. And we even talked about our favorite cartoons. We both liked Tom and Jerry. He said he liked Richie Rich also. At the end of the dinner, he ordered chocolate ice-cream as he was craving it. Later, he dropped me off at my apartment even though I told him that I could go myself. I invited him inside but he left, promising that he would next time.
