It's now September and the kids are back in school. Karen had basically forced Max to see the guidance counselor and a therapist every week outside of school. She was put on medication to 'help her get better'. She just says it's all a bunch of bullshit. They're all sugar pills to make her think she was getting better, but she still takes them before school and before bed. Well, not reluctantly. Mike and Nancy force her in the morning, Lucas and Will force her during lunch, and El forces her at night. She's been sleeping over there since the funeral. El just... wanted to keep an eye on her.
That's how we got here. Max was sitting in Els lap, watching the movie. El was braiding her hair, trying to get all the knots out without hurting the girl. Hopper walked into the living room. "Girls, its twelve in the morning! Please shut that off and go to sleep!" He groaned, leaning on the doorway. El and Max looked at each other giggling before running off to Els room. "Goddamn it! Why did I decide to adopt a teenage girl?"
Max laid awake at three a.m. She groaned, sitting up. El looked over at her. "Can't sleep either?" She asked the ginger. Max shook her head, taking the blanket off and swinging her legs over the side of the bed. The girl let out a soft sigh. El sat up and crawled next to her, sitting on her knees. "You okay?"
"Why'd you break up with Mike?"
"What?"
"He told me you liked someone. A girl, and I just- you know- I"
"Max, what else did he tell you?"
"That's it!"
"You promise?"
"I swear, El."
The brunette let out a shaky breath. Max turned to her best friend, "hey you okay?"
"No, yes, maybe. UGH!"
"Hey, what's going on?"
"Max I need to tell you something."
"What's up El?"
"I think I like... WILL!"
"You like Will? Isn't Hop dating Joyce tho?"
"H-hey why don't we go get ice cream?"
The two girls snuck to the kitchen. Max hopped up on the counter as El gave her a pint of strawberry ice cream and a spoon. The girl smiled happily as she ate her ice cream. El smirked as an idea popped into her head.
"Hey can I have some?"
Max nodded excitedly, getting a spoonful for El to enjoy. She was about to feed it to the brunette when she felt a pair of lips slam onto hers. She kissed back, not wanting it to go away. She then felt a tongue lick at her lips. Max opened her mouth allowing El to taste the inside of her mouth. She put her arms around the other girls neck, making out with her. El held onto Max's waist. She broke the quickly, allowing them both to breathe before she went right back in. Her hands snaked around Max's waist as they kissed each other lovingly. She pulled away, resting her head on Max's forehead. "Jump," she whispered panting. Max looked up, reconnecting their lips as she wrapped her legs around Els waist. El picked the girl up, walking back to her bedroom. She set Max on the bed, breaking the kiss as she started to undress.
The brunette stared at Max with a new shyness in her eyes. Max was in awe at the other girls body. "Like what ya see?"
"Get over here and do your worst Hopper."
And that's exactly what El did.

Max was breathing heavily as she laid her head on Els chest. She lightly bit one of the other girls breasts, pulling a soft moan out of her. Max giggled, pulling away. Both girls were naked, sweaty, and sticky. "We need a shower."
"Later, sleepy."
"Elll warm, clean water."
"Nappy time!"
"I'm gross!"
"We both did some... very interesting things and your saying your gross now?"
"I-"
"Later, need my baby." El said, tightening her girl on Max's wait. She kissed the top of her head before sighing happily. "I really like you Max."
"I really like you too El."
"What do we do now?"
"We see wherever life takes us."
"Do you want to be my-"
"YES!"
"Shhh you silly, okay girlfriends."
"Girlfriends."
"Okay good."
"Yeah, good."
The two laid there in each others embrace. Girlfriends, what a new thing for two very scared girls. Who knew where life would take them.
