You guys hear that?
Ah!
Hey, um, I never asked your name.
Is that real?
Sorry, I've just never seen a kid with a tattoo before!
What's it mean?
Eleven?
That's your name?
Eleven, ok!
Um, well my name's Mike.
Short for Michael.
Maybe we could call you...
El, short for Eleven.
Night, El.
Night, Mike.
It's fine, I get it.
This girl shows up and starts living in your basement and all you ever wanna do is pay
attention to her.
That's not true!
Yes it is!
We gotta go!
In here, I'll be right back, ok?
My mom, she'll find you.
Do you understand?
I won't tell her about you, I promise.
Promise?
It means something that you can't break.
Ever.
Wow.
She looks...
Pretty.
Good.
You look pretty good.
She broke my arm! Mom!
Go.
Let's get out of here!
El!
I'm sorry.
Sorry? What are you sorry for?
I'm the monster.
No, no El you're not the monster.
You saved me!
Do you understand?
You saved me.
You don't need it.
Still pretty?
Yeah!
Pretty. Really pretty!
El?
Yes?
Um, I'm happy you're home.
Me too.
Maybe we can go to the Snow Ball together.
Snow Ball?
It's this cheesy school dance where you go in the gym to dance to music and stuff.
You go to school dances with someone that you, you know, like.
A friend?
Not a friend, a...
Someone like a...
Just hold on a little longer, ok?
We'll be home soon.
And, my mom...
She'll get you your own bed, and you can eat as many Eggos as you want.
And, we can go to the Snow Ball.
Promise?
Promise.
Eleven, stop!
Goodbye, Mike.
No more.
El! El!
El, are you there?
El?
It's me.
It's Mike.
It's day 352. 7:40pm.
I'm still here.
Mike?
If you're out there say something.
Or give me a sign, I won't even...
I won't even say anything, just...
I wanna know if you're ok.
Mike!
Mike, where are you?!
Eleven?
Mike...
I never gave up on you.
I called you every night.
Every night for-
353 days.
I heard.
You look beautiful.
Do you wanna dance?
I...
don't know how.
I don't either.
Do you wanna figure it out?
