The amour of love- elmax story

chapter 9

the smell of the station was weirdly comforting. it smelt like burnt out cigs and men's cologne.  it reminded me of my dad. i pushed my way through the crowd of people and reached my coach. i looked up at the guy standing in the doorway of the coach. he was bold with a stubbly beard and no neck. his badge said, Robert. 

" ticket," he said in the most flat bland voiced id ever heard. 

"of  course," i said in a slightly sarcastic voice, " Robert," i added. i handed him my ticket and he punched a hole in it, then procced to move out of the way allowing me into the coach. i threw my duffel into the overhead storage and threw my backpack onto the floor in front of my feet. i chose the window seat obviously, but i was hoping that no one would decide to sit next to me. this was going to be a long ride anyway, dont make it worse.  

i unzipped the front pocket of my bag and pulled out the old walk men that el had given to me, considering billy completely smashed mine during one of his regular outburst.  i place my favourite tapes into the recorder and put on the headset. i gentilly laid my head against the window and pressed play. 

El's POV, time jump back to when el was finish school the same day. 

"I'm kinda worried about max." "i mean i know she got home safe from the junkyard. cause i was the one who called Robin to take her home. i shouldnt of told Robin about the kiss."  "if max has run away again, what if it worse. i mean why wouldn't she come into school?" 

"el, calm down, I'm sure max just needs a couple day off to uno, rest and get her life straight, or should i say gay." 

i gave will a death glare as those words slipped from his mouth,

"to soon," he said with a sorry look, i nodded. "el?" will asked as i was about to close my locker, 

"yeah?" i asked confused, instead of answering he knelt down and picked up a note, with el scribbled on one side.

"you got a note," he said as he turned it over to read it, but before he could i snatched it out his hands, "heyyyyy," he wined.

"lemme read it then ill tell you what it says," 

 El, its max btw i thought i should tell you some stuff but i was to scares to do it face to face so I'm writing it. first of all I'm sorry for being a dick to u. you are so kind and loving and i took advantage of that. I'm leaving tonight I'm going to see my dad in California, where i used to live. i just needed to tell u that, i wanted to kiss u back, like really wanted to kiss u back. I'm gonna miss u 

max.

a single tear rolled down els cheek, will saw it and hugged her immediately. he read the letter and then looked back at eleven confused. " why are you sad she said that she wanted to kiss you back, that's what you were worrying about right," Will said trying his best to comfort el. 

"yes, I'm happy that she wanted to kiss me, but i want to be with her. all the time," she said struggling to fine the right words to say.
